Remote medicine is one aspect in medical technology that has been steadily developing in the recent times。

Through remote medicine，experts will be able to assist patients’ treatments in remote areas by using advanced telecommunication systems。

Sometimes physicians have to perform operations on patients using robotic arms through these advanced telecommunication systems. Doctors in remote areas can buy emergency medical supplies and first aid kits(用品）required for remote medicine treatment from popular online stores。

Many operations have been performed successfully through remote medicine。

Sometimes it is not financially possible for the sick or injured to travel to developed nations for their medical treatment。

With a lack of specialists in many remote areas across the globe，remote medicine provides a helping hand in treating patients in great danger. Putting this technology into practice requires people in remote areas to have emergency medical kits and emergency medical supplies to treat patients.
Chinook Medical Gear is a very popular online store that offers a wide range of emergency medical supplies, medical kits and first aid kits that are specifically designed to be used in remote areas during emergency situations.

I grow up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea。

He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family。

Not just enough for our family, but also for his Mom and Dad and the other kids that were still at home。

Dad was a big man，and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the sea for his catch. When you got close to him，you smelled the ocean.
When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. He would pull right up in front，and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching。

Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on
the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me。

Here I was twelve years old，and my Dad would lean over and kiss me good-bye！
I remembered the day I thought I was too old for a good—bye kiss。

When we got to the school and came to a stop，he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said, “No, Dad。

” It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way，and he had this surprised look on his face。

I said, “Dad, I'm too old for a good-bye kiss. I’m too old for any kind of kiss.” My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear up. I had never seen him cry. He turned and looked at the windshield（汽车挡风玻璃). “You’re right，” he said. “You are a big boy…a man。

I won’t kiss you any more。

It wasn't long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back.
Guys，you don’t know what I would give to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek …to feel his rough old face …to smell the ocean on him …to feel his arm around my neck. I wish I had been a man then. If I had been a man，I would be a man。

I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a good-bye kiss。

61. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The writer’s father was a tall man。

It is a matter of common observation that although money income keeps going up over the years, we never seem to become richer. Prices are rising continuously。

This condition is what we call inflation(通货膨胀): the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable。

We have got used to higher and higher rates of inflation in recent years. What could be bought twenty years ago for one pound now costs well over 2 pounds . And at present this rate of inflation seems to be rising rather than falling。

If in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices do. One might think that inflation doesn’t matter. But it does .When money is losing value it also loses one of the qualities of a good money—stability of value。

It is no longer acceptable as a store of value；and it becomes an unsuitable means of delayed payment。

Nobody wants to hold a wasting possession，so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible。

Inflation therefore simply simulates（刺激）our spending and discourages saving.
66．From the passage we can know that inflation is a situation in which________。

A. everyone’s incomes rise B。

money will hold its value
C。

we can watch our money grow D. money
constantly loses its value
67．In the writer’s view，if incomes and prices rise at the same rate，________。

A。

inflation maybe still be a problem B。

we have nothing to worry about
C. inflation is no longer a problem D。

we will become richer and richer
68．Under inflation people are likely to ________。

A。

go to the bank more often than usual
B. save more money since their incomes rise
C. spend money quickly rather than to save it
D。

keep money at home instead of going to banks
69．We can conclude according to the passage that ________。

A. the writer is a government official
B. the writer is worried about inflation
C。

the writer encourages people to spend money
D. the writer has become richer because of inflation
70. Which of the following words is omitted at the end of the underlined
sentence “But it does”？
A。

Matter. B。

Goes. C. Rises。

D。

Falls。

Part IV Writing （45 marks)
Section A （10 marks）
Directions: Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by
using the information from the passage．
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．
Is there a “success personality”---some winning combination of qualities that lead almost inevitably（不可避免的）to achievement？If so，exactly what is that secret success formula（公式）, and can anyone develop it？
At the Gallop Organization we recently focused in depth on success, inquiring into the attitudes of 1,500 distinguished people selected at random from Who is Who in America。

Our research finds out a number of qualities that occur regularly among top achievers. Here is one of the most important，that is common sense。

Common sense is the most widely possessed quality of the people surveyed。

79% award themselves a top score in this quality. And 61％say that common sense is very important in contributing to their success。

To most，common sense means the ability to present sound，practical judgement on daily affairs. To do this，one has to remove extra ideas and get right to the key points of what matters。

A Texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way ：The key ability for success is simplifying。

In conduction of meeting and dealing with industry reducing a complex problem to the simplest term is highly important。

"
Is common sense a quality a person is born with，or can you do something to increase it? The oil man's answer is that common sense can definitely be developed. He owes his to learning how to debate in school.
Another way to increase your store of common sense is to observe it in others, learning from their and your own mistakes。

Besides common sense, there are many other factors that influence success: knowing your field，self-reliance, intelligence，the ability to get things done，leadership, creativity，relationship with others, and of course luck。

But common sense stands out. If you develop these qualities, you’ll succeed. Any you might even find yourself listed Who is Who someday.
71_________________________
Section B （10 marks）
Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.
Some people never master the art of being patient, and，at times, all of us struggle with being patient. Sometimes a certain situation or a certain person just pushes our buttons，making it much more difficult for us to remain patient。

Once you lose patience，things tend to go wrong。

It becomes harder to concentrate, and it becomes harder to be polite to other people.
Learning to be patient takes time and it takes patience to learn to be patient. Patience is acquired as you acquire wisdom, and wisdom is the child of experience. No one is born wise，just as no one is born patient. As you learn and grow and experience things in life, you become wiser and learn how to interact with difficult kinds of people.
For example, you start your first job in a big office，and you don’t really know how to work with lots of people。

This is normal，as you have never had the experience of working in an office before. At first，it might be difficult to understand your job. You might even lose patience,
but over time you’ll be able to interact with other people with more confidence and patience。

When someone at work disagrees with you，it will make you flustered。

However, with experience, you'll learn how to present your opinion clearly. You’ll be less likely to becom e bothered when presented with different situations. The more patience you have, the better you’ll cope in various situations.
Though it might be difficult, you should try to be patient in life. This will help you in nearly all situations。

You must keep in mind that patience comes with experience and wisdom。

Age doesn’t always mea n that someone is wise，and wisdom doesn't always mean that someone is patient, though the two often go hand in hand.

Good afternoon, everyone！
The topic of my speech today is “Cooperate with others”.
In our daily life and study, if we want to accomplish our work efficiently，we must all learn to cooperate with others. Cooperation can save us a lot of time and energy. Additionally，we can learn much from our partners by cooperating with them。

When we cooperate with someone we like, we will feel very happy. We can share our pleasure(joys)and sadness（sorrows）with him。

But it challenges us to get along with others to cooperate with someone we dislike（hate）. Besides/Moreover/What’s more，we should focus on our work，instead of(rather than）our partners。

Perhaps in working together with him for a long time，we'll learn（find out)that he is a man to get along well with.
How can we become a good partner? In my opinion，we should try to listen to others. If they make mistakes, we also try to point them out。

Thirdly，we mustn't embarrass others to make them in unfavorable position。

Thank you for your listening!。
