Then mark the correspon ding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage1Questions 33 to 37 are based on the following passage:In the past, operations were difficult. Until the middle of the eighteen fifti es, surgery was very dangerous. Many patients died after even the smallest ope rations. This was because bacteria entered the cuts in the patients’ bodied and started infection. In some countries, up to 90 percent of patients died from inf ection after operations. In 1865, however, Joseph Lister, a British surgeon, fou nd an answer to the problem. He used an “antiseptic” during and after operati ons. This killed the dangerous bacteria and most of his patients lived. Since th en, surgeons have used antiseptics in all operations.Surgery has developed in many important ways since the day of Joseph Li ster. Today, when patients go to hospital for an operation, they can expect the best treatment, in clean and hygienic conditions.33.

D. s abroad. Many were rejected by U.S. medical schools simply because there was no room. Last year, for example, some 13,000 of 35,000 would-be ph ysicians who applied to U.S. schools were accepted. Of those who were turned down, well over 600 are trying the foreign route.But gaining admittance to a good foreign school may be a problem. British medical schools give priority to Britons , and Canada’s world-renowned McGill University School of Medicine takes only a handful of well qualified American s annually. But several schools do welcome U.S. medical students---if they can master the local language. More than 500 Americans are enrolled in the Belgian universities at Brussels and Louvain , for example. Some 800 attend the Italian University at Bologna; 175 at Rome. Mexico’s Autonomous University of Guad alajara numbers 1,300 gringos among its 4,000 students.Despite difficulties abroad, many Americans complete their medical educatio ns, and manage to win the respect of their professors and classmates. One secon d-year student at Louvain has a simple explanation for those successes: “ Anyon e who comes here to be motivated. You have to learn a new language, the sch o ol is constant hard work, and it’s difficult to get back into the States to practi ce”.Before they can intern or practice in the United States, graduates of foreign schools must pass a special examination required by medical-education authoriti es. The tough test is designed primarily to weed out those who are unable to s peak English or whose medical education is not up to U.S. standards.38. Which of the following is true about U.S. would-be physicians?A. America medical schools have superfluous applicantsB. language is a big problem all the American students applying to foreign medical schools have to face.C.

A lot of foreign medical schools do not welcome U.S. students simply because they have to consider the applicants form their own countries first.B. To enter foreign medical schools is much easier than to gain admittance into American medical schools if the problem of language is not regarded.C. There are not many good foreign medical schools according to Ameri can studentsD. There are so many difficulties in studying abroad that not many American students become successful in foreign medical schools40. Which of the following is one of the difficulties the American students at foreign, medical schools have to face.A. Living and medical conditions in foreign countries are not so good a s those in America.B. There is racial discrimination against them.C. They are given no opportunities to practice at local places.D. They are treated the same as foreign physicians and medical school graduates when trying to go back to America to practice.41.

Life at Foreign Medical School sC. The toughForeign Route. D. American Would-be Physicians at Foreign Schools.Passage3Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage :Summers with father were always enjoyable. Swimming , hiking , boating , fishing—the days were not long enough to contain all of our activities. There never seemed to be enough time to go to church, which disturbed some frien ds and relations. Accused of neglecting this part of our education, my father instituted a summer school for my brother and me . However, his summer cour se included ancient history, which Papa felt our schools neglected ,and navigati on, in which we first had a formal examination in the dining room, part of w hich consisted of tying several knots in a given time limit. Then we were eac h separately sent on what was grandly referred to as a cruise in my father’s 1 8-foot knockabout, spending the night on board, and loaded down, according to my mother, with enough food for a week. I remember that on my cruise I w as required to formally plot our course, using the tide table, even though our goal was an island I could see quite clearly across the water in the distance.43. What was the original reasons for holding the summer school?A. Friends and relatives thought the children should learn religionB The father wanted the children to learn more about religionC. The children got poor grades in their regular schoolD. The regular school teachers neglected the children44 The purpose of the cruise mentioned in the passage was to ________.A. have funB. test the author’s sailing abilityC. reward the author for completing summer schoolD. get to the island45. Why did the author have to plot the course of her cruise ?A.She had to demonstrate her ability to do so.B. The coast was dangerous.C She was afraid of getting lost. D. The tides were strong46. How long did the author’s cruise last?A. all summerB. overnightC. a weekD. one day, morning till night47 Apparently a knockabout is _______.A. an island B a boat C a cruise D a seaman’s knotPassage 4Questions 48 to 52 are based on the following passage:The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has , at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon . Different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses b ecause of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945 , government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the pack aging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful.The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give pen icillin to beef and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in th e milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals n ot for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply try ing to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Alth ough the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.48. What is the main topic of the passage?A. Food and our health B Food and additivesC. Food and cancer D Food and culture49 All of the following statements are true EXCEPT_______.A Forty percent of cancer is caused by problems related to food.B Researchers have known about the potential danger of food additives for many yearsC. We eat some of the food additives directly and some indirectlyD Drugs are always given to animals for medicinal purposes50. Why do farmers give drugs to their animals?A. to speed up the growth of animals B To make the animals fatterC to make the animals’ meat fit to eatD To make the animals’ meat rich in nutrients51. It can be inferred from the passage that_________.A scientist have made all the food fit to eatB only in recent years have people found that the food is related to on e’s illnessC all kinds of cancer are related to the dietD some additives are harmful to our health52. The word “ this” in the second sentence of paragraph 2 most probablyrefers to __________.A farmerB penicillinC beef and poultryD the fact that farmers often give penicillin to a beefPart IV: Translation from English into Chinese (10%)Directions: In this part, there are four items which you should translate into Chi nese, each item consisting of one sentence.
