using Ryan's Social Security number, had indeed been admitted for surgery. He figured clearing this up would take a just few phone calls.

Two years later, Ryan continues to suffer from the damage to his credit rating and still doesn' t know if his medical record has been cleared of wrong information.

Joe Ryan was the victim of a little-known but frightening type of consumer cheating that is on

the rise： medical identity theft, which involves using your name to get drugs, expensive medical treatment and even cheating insurance payments.

As Ryan discovered, money isn ’ t the half of it. When someone steals your name to receive health care, his medical history becomes part of your record—and setting the record straight can be extremely difficult. That ’ s because，in part，the information is handed out among dozens of

care-givers, from doctors to medicine stores to ins urance companies and labs. "I wanted to help straighten this out,” says Ryan, ‘‘so I went to the hospital, and they had a three-inch-thick record for me, but they wouldn' t let me see it.

I showed them my ID, and they said that’ s not Joe Ryan’ s signature. Well, of course not! They had this other guy ’ s signature. ”Ryan had fallen into a victim’ s Catch-22：If your record doesn’ t appear to be you rs, you may not have the right to read it, much less change it.

Ryan' s next step was a visit to the police department. But the police said that there was not much they could do, that the local law enforcement has little experience with medical ID theft, and cases like this can end up being considered a civil matter.

21.play a joke on him for medical treatment

rm him of the payment for his surgery

21.correct the mistakes about payment for his surgery

21.clear up the wrong information in his medical record

21.the widely spread medical information of the victim

21.the difficulty in changing the wrong medical history

Laura Edmonds has a look of horror on her face as she turns to look out the airplane window.

It’ s not the threat of terrorism that worries her，but rather the possibility of mechanical

failure. She says she imagines the plane plunging to the ground because the engines may fall off.

So every few minutes she glances out the window to make sure they' re still attached. It is a fear that has gripped her for 18 years, since her wedding day. Since then she has t ried

drugs and co cktails to make it through flights. But, she says j they’ ve been no help in easing her

anxiety.

She has dragged her family on the train from Connecticut to Florida, insisted on long drives

and tried to avoid flying at all costs. Even when friends fly, Edmonds says she worries, counting

the hours till they arrive at their destination.

It’ s been three years since Edmonds has stepped on a plane.

Yet here she is now, 20，000 feet above the ground onboard a turbo-prop that's en route from

New York，s LaGuardia Airport to Baltimore-Washington International Airport in Maryland. She is

hoping this is the flight that will overcome her fear.

“I feel the seat. I feel the seat against my arm. I feel my hands，” recites Edmonds，her eyes

still closed.

She is attempting to change her mind, one of several so-called “ strengthening exercises" she

recently learned from a video course designed to overcome fear of flying. The idea is to focus on

the moment, rather than the abstract.

Former Pan Am and United pilot Tom Bunn is president of the company that produced the

videos and that instructs passengers in the basic mechanics of flying and teaches them to control

their thoughts.

Before boarding the U. S. Airways flight, Edmonds presents a letter from Bunn to the flight

attendant asking to speak with the captain. The pilot gladly obliges, telling her he ’ s been flying

for more than two decades and assuring her，You’ re going to be fine. We' re going to take good

care of you.,’

When the flight attendant offers drinks, Edmonds places her cup of water on the tray table

and studies it, tangible evidence that the plane is barely shaking.

“ Ladies and gentlemen, we are approaching Baltimore，” announces the flight attendant.

Edmond is relying heavily on Bunn ’ s coping strategies during t he 90-minute flight. But

she' s coping.

As the wheels touch down, Edmonds’ face lights up.

55. Laura Edmonds has a fear of flying because______ .

21.she once experienced a mechanical failure

21. a mechanical failure often appears in her mind

21.she is good at imagining a terrible situation

21.air crashes often happen in her hometown

21.The underlined word "grip" in the third paragraph means______.

A. seized firmly

B. hurt s eriously

C. cheated simply

D. treated carefully

21.From this passage it can be inferred that______.

21.every seat in planes is equipped with video

21.passengers on board always feel nervous

21.nervous passengers can get comfort from airlines[来源:]

21.travel by train is safer than travel by plane

urn' s overcoming the fear of flying is mostly owed to______?

A. airline' s comfort

B. her counting the hours on

board

C. a letter from Bunn

D. her defeating herself

C

The Terrafugia, a small airplane that can drive on roads

and has been billed as the first “ flying car，” is now one step

closer to becoming street-and-sky-legal. The vehicle has

cleared a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)(联邦航空

管理委员会）regulation for craft classification (分类）by

weight. A well-designed production model might be just

around the corner, according to multiple reports.

At issue was Mass-based company Terrafugia wanting its Transition vehicle to be classified as a “Light Sport Aircraft" by the FAA so people eager to fly it would need only 20 hours of flying time. Yet the two-seater vehicle came in 110 pounds (50 kilograms) overweight in providing

roadworthy-assuring safety items. The FAA sai d that so long as customers are advised about this

extra weight, the car-plane mixture can be sold.

The Terrafugia completed its maiden voyage last March in upstate New York. According to its maker, the Terrafugia can transform from a readable vehicle that can hit a highway speed of 65 miles per hour to a winged aircraft in 30 seconds.

The plane version can cruise at about 115 miles per hour ( 185 kilometers per hour) and

cover about 400 miles ( 644 kilometers) worth of the area before needing a refill of regular unleaded gas.

The price of a Terrafugia is expected to be around $200,000 and deliveries could start next year, assuming the vehicle passes crash tests. The company has envisioned its vehicle as finding a home with amateur pilots who live near air fields, but as any Jetsons’ fan knows, flying cars might well be the wave of the future.

21.The underlined part in the Para. 1 “has been billed，’ means ______.

A. has been sold

B. has been advertised

C. has been ordered

D. has been designed

21.The author tells us in the passage that ______.

21.this vehicle can carry only two passengers

21.the driver should weigh less than 110 pounds

21.anyone can drive this flying car if they want

21.the car flies faster than a modern plane

21.It is mentioned in the passage that flying cars might be______ .

A. popular

B. light

C. convenient

D. safe enough

21.Which is the best possible title of the passage?

21.Coolest Vehicles You ’ 11 Never Get to Ride

21.Flying Car Could Transform Traffic Jam

21.Flying Car One Step Closer to Reality

21.Transportation in Future Time

D

An overweight, middle-aged man lies dead on a trolley, with a woman weeping over his

body. The body' s cold hand still grasps a half-eaten McDonald ’ s ham burger.

American doctors

‘ TV ad features the image which weakens the slightest of appetites and the line ’ I was lovin ’ it ’

The hard-hitting US television commercial supported by a Washington-based medical group

has angered McDonald ’ s by taking an unusually direct shot at the world ’ s bi ggest fast-food chain this week. The line is a twist on McDonald’ s long-standing advertising slogan, "I'm lovin’ it”and a voiceover intones ：” High cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart attacks. Tonight, make it vegetarian. ”

The commercial，funded by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine ( PCRM )，

goes further than most non-profit advertising and has drawn an angry reaction from both the

Chicago-based hamburger multinational and the broader restaurant industry.

The National Restaurant Association criticised it as "irresponsible" and said it was an attempt

to scare the public with a ‘‘limited” view of nutrition. A McDonald’ s spokesman said：‘‘This

commercial is unbearable, misleading and unfair to all consumers. McDonald ’ s trusts our

cus tomers to make food and lifestyle choices that are right for them. ”

The commercial，to be aired at the beginning in the Washington area but potentially in fuither US cities, comes amid an increasingly lively debate in the US about healthy eating. The first lady, Michelle Obama r has made nutrition a signature issue and is leading a campaign to encourage physical fitness and improved diets一 particularly among American children，a third of whom are overweight.

The economic decline has hardly helped the healthy eating cause. McDonald ’ s has enjoyed a relatively prosperous financial crisis as diners choose its affordable offerings in place of more expensive high-street restaurants. Its global profits for the six months to June were up 12% to $ 2. 3billion, powered by sales

rises both in the United States and Britain.

The PCRM’ s director of nutrition education, Susan Levin, made no apologies for singling out

the golden arches(拱f]) ：“ McDonald' s is one of the biggest fast-food chains in the world. Its name and its golden arches are instantly recognisable. We feel we ’ re making a point about all fast food when we talk about McDonald ’ s. ”

21.The ad-maker makes a change in the McDonald ’ s slogan ______

21.to warn people of risk of eating fast food

21.to convince people of cause of the death

21.to remind people of the man’ s preference

21.to accuse the McDonald’ s of the murder

21.The goal of this passage is to tell us that______ .

21.the TV commercial goes too far

21.people enjoy eating fast food for its taste

21.Michelle Obama’ s campaign doesn' t work

21.McDonald' s provides unhealthy food

21."The golden arches，’ in the last paragraph refers to ______?

A. the line

B. the ad

C. McDonald' s

D. fast food

21.What is the theme of the passage?

21. A fierce debate about healthy eating

21.McDonald ’ s targeted in US health ad

21. A US health ad advocates healthy life

21.Say goodbye to McDonald' s right now

More than 17 ,000 flights to and from European airspace were cancelled, including all flights from Britain ’ s major airports. The Met office reported that volcanic ash had begun to fall across Britain, coating surfaces with a fine layer of dust and raising fears for people with breathing difficulties.

Meanwhile experts warned of shortages of some foods with produce destined for British shops in airport warehouses in other parts of the world.

Geologists reported that activity at the volcano increased yesterday, spewing a plume of ash 5.3 miles high into the atmosphere.

The Icelandic Meteorological Office said the winds blowing the volcanic ash south east to Europe and up into Scandinavia and Russia will continue in the same direction for at least two days and could go on until Wednesday. But scientists fear there could be more eruptions from the 5，466-foot volcano, Mount Eyjafjallajkull.

A university geophysicist said：“ From what we ’ve seen, it could erupt，pause for a few week ，and then possibly erupt again. It could go on for months. ” As the no fly zone

could go on erupting for months, geologists have warned.

The National Air Traffic Control Service ( Nats) extended restrictions on flights from British airports to 7p. m. on Sunday, with the expectation of further extensions.

Ferry operators have reported record bookings. P&O took 6,000 foot passengers across the channel on Friday compared to the 100 to 200 it would expect on a normal Friday in April.

Eurostar trains were fully booked until tomorrow, with 50,000 more passengers than normal since the airline disruption (中断）began on Thursday，including comedian John Cleese who arrived back in London last night after a most difficult overland journey from Switzerland, The operator is charging passengers a minimum ￡ 223 for a single ticket from Paris to London over the next two days prompting criticisms of profiteering. A return ticket can normally be bought for as little as ￡ 69. Eurostar denied it was cashing in. some 4,000 British tourists have been stranded in South Africa.

The British Embassy in Athens said there were currently “ many thousand ” British holidaymakers trying to leave Greece after the holidays, in many cases anxious to get back in time for the start of the school term this week，with some of those desperate to return resorting to renting cars or embarking on long trains journeys.

67 where is the volcano, Mount Eyjafjallajkull located?

A England. B. Ireland. C. Iceland. D. Switzerland.

68 The worst affected problem for most of the Europeans during the eruption was _ .

A breathing difficulties B. shortages of food

C the airline disruption D. a fine layer of dust

21.What does the underlined word "chaos" mean in Para 6?

A. Danger.

B. Anxiety.

C. Desperation.

D. Disorder.

21.From the passage, we know that the volcano eruption ?

21.forced all the people to go back home

21.brought the train company a large profit

21.made 6,000 passengers take ships to cross the Channel

21.prevented British students from going to school on time
