Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter onAnswer Sheet 2.Reform and Medical Costs[A] Americans are deeply concerned about the relentless rise in health care costs and health insurance premiums. They need to know if reform will help solve the problem. The answer isthat no one has an easy fix for rising medic al costs. The fundamental fix—reshaping how careis delivered and how doct ors are paid in a wasteful, abnormal system—is likely to be achievedonly thr ough trial and error and incremental (渐进的）gains.[B] The good news is that a bill just approved by the House and a bill approve d by the SenateFinance Committee would implement or test many reforms t hat should help slow the rise inmedical costs over the long term. As a report i n The New England Journal of Medicine concluded,"Pretty much every proposed innovation found in the health policy literature these days is contained in these measures."[C] Medical spending, which typically rises faster than wages and the overall economy, ispropelled by two things: the high prices charged for medical servi ces in this country and thevolume of unnecessary care delivered by doctors and hospitals, which often perform a lotmore tests and treatments than a pa tient really needs.[D] Here are some of the important proposals in the House and Senate bills t o try to address those problems, and why it is hard to know how well they wil l work.[E] Both bills would reduce the rate of growth in annual Medicare payments to hospitals,nursing homes and other providers by amounts comparable to the productivity savingsroutinely made in other industries with the help of new technologies and new ways to organize work. This proposal could save Medi care more than $100 billion over the next decade. Ifprivate plans demanded similar productivity savings from providers, and refused to letproviders shift additional costs to them, the savings could be much larger. Critics sayCongr ess will give in to lobbyists and let inefficient providers off the hook That is f ar less likelyto happen if Congress also adopts strong upaygo” rules requiring that any increase inpayments to providers be offset by new taxes or budget cuts.[F] The Senate Finance bill would impose an excise tax(消费税）on health insurance plans thatcost more than $8,000 for an individual or $21,000 for a family. It would most likely causeinsurers to redesign plans to fall beneath the threshold. Enrollees would have to pay moremoney for many ser vices out of their own pockets, and that would encourage them to thinktwice about whether an expensive or redundant test was worth it. Economists pro ject thatmost employers would shift money from expensive health benefits in to wages. The House billhas no similar tax. The final legislation should. [G] Any doctor who has wrestled with multiple forms from different insurers, or patients whohave tried to understand their own parade of statements, kn ow that simplification ought tosave money. When the health insurance indus try was still cooperating in reform efforts, itstrade group offered to provide st andardized forms for automated processing. It estimated thatstep would save hundreds of billions of dollars over the next decade. The bills would lock that pledge into law.[H] The stimulus package provided money to convert the inefficient, paper-driven medicalsystem to electronic records that can be easily viewed and tran smitted. This requires openinvestments to help doctors convert. In time it sh ould help restrain costs by eliminating redundant tests, preventing drug inte ractions, and helping doctors find the best treatments.[I] Virtually all experts agree that the fee-for-service system—doctors are rew arded for the quantity of care rather than its quality or effectiveness—is a pr imary reason that the cost ofcare is so high. Most agree that the solution is to push doctors to accept fixed payments tocare for a particular illness or for a patient's needs over a year. No one knows how to makethat happen quickly . The bills in both houses would start pilot projects within Medicare. Theyincl ude such measures as accountable care organizations to take charge of a pati ent's needswith an eye on both cost and quality, and chronic disease manag ement to make sure theseriously ill, who are responsible for the bulk of all he alth care costs, are treated properly. Forthe most part, these experiments rely on incentive payments to get doctors to try them.[J] Testing innovations do no good unless the good experiments are identifie d and expandedand the bad ones are dropped. The Senate bill would create a n independent commission tomonitor the pilot programs and recommend changes in Medicare's payment policies to urge providers to adopt reforms t hat work. The changes would have to be approved or rejected as awhole by C ongress, making it hard for narrow-interest lobbies to bend lawmakers to the ir will.[K] The bills in both chambers would create health insurance exchanges on which smallbusinesses and individuals could choose from an array of private plans and possibly a public option. All the plans would have to provide standa rd benefit packages that would be easy tocompare. To get access to millions of new customers, insurers would have a strong incentive to sell on the exch ange. And the head-to-head competition might give them a strong incentiv e to lower their prices, perhaps by accepting slimmer profit margins or dema nding better deals from providers.[L] The final legislation might throw a public plan into the competition, but thanks to thefierce opposition of the insurance industry and Republican criti cs, it might not save muchmoney. The one in the House bill would have to ne gotiate rates with providers, rather thanusing Medicare rates, as many reform ers wanted.[M] The president's stimulus package is pumping money into research to com pare how wellvarious treatments work. Is surgery, radiation or careful moni toring best for prostate (前列腺)cancer? Is the latest and most expensive cholesterol-lowering drug any bet ter than its commoncompetitors? The pending bills would spend additional m oney to accelerate this effort.[N] Critics have charged that this sensible idea would lead to rationing of car e.(That would betrue only if you believed that patients should have an unrestr ained right to treatments provento be inferior.) As a result, the bills do not r equire, as they should, that the results of thesestudies be used to set payme nt rates in Medicare.[O] Congress needs to find the courage to allow Medicare to pay preferentially for treatmentsproven to be superior. Sometimes the best treatment might b e the most expensive. But overall, we suspect that spending would come do wn through elimination of a lot of unnecessary or even dangerous tests and treatments.[P] The House bill would authorize the secretary of health and human servic es to negotiatedrug prices in Medicare and Medicaid. Some authoritative an alysts doubt that the secretarywould get better deals than private insurers alr eady get. We believe negotiation could work. Itdoes in other countries. [Q] Missing from these bills is any serious attempt to rein in malpractice cos ts. Malpracticeawards do drive up insurance premiums for doctors in high-ris k specialties, and there is some evidence that doctors engage in "defensive medicine" by performing tests and treatmentsprimarily to prove they are not negligent should they get sued.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

Driven by fasterinternet connections, ubiquitous(⽆处不在的)smartphones and changing insurance standards, more health providers are turning to electronic communications to do their jobs—and it's dramatically changing the delivery of healthcare.[B]Doctors are linking up with patients by phone, email and webcam(⽹络摄像头). They're alsoconsulting with each other electronically—sometimes to make split-second decisions on heart attacks and strokes. Patients,meanwhile, are using new devices to relay their blood pressure, heart rate and other vital signs to their doctors so they can manage chronic conditions at home.Telemedicine also allows for better care in places where medical expertise is hard to come by.Five to 10 times a day, Doctors Without Borders relays questions about tough cases from its physicians in Niger, South Sudan and elsewhere to its network of 280 experts around the world, and back again via the internet.[C]As a measure of how rapidly telemedicine is spreading, consider: More than 15 millionAmericans received some kind of medical care remotely last year, according to the A- merican Telemedicine Association, a trade group, which expects those numbers to grow by 30% this year.[D]None of this is to say that telemedicine has found its way into all comers of medicine. A recentsurvey of 500 tech-savvy(精通技术的)consumers found that 39% hadn't heard of telemedicine, and of those who haven't used it, 42% said they preferred in-person doctor visits. In a poll of 1,500 family physicians, only 15% had used it in their practices —but 90% said they would if it were appropriately reimbursed (补偿).[E]What's more, for all the rapid growth, significant questions and challenges remain. Rulesdefining and regulating telemedicine differ widely from state to state. Physicians groups are issuing different guidelines about what care they consider appropriate to de-liver and in what form.[F]Some critics also question whether the quality of care is keeping up with the rapid expansion oftelemedicine. And there*s the question of what services physicians should be paid for：Insurance coverage varies from health plan to health plan, and a big federal plan covers only a narrow range of services. Telemedicine*s future will depend on how—and whether—regulators, providers, payers and patients can address these challenges. Here's a closer look at some of these issues:[G]Do patients trade quality for convenience? The fastest-growing services in telemedicine connectconsumers with clinicians they've never met for a phone, video or email visit— on-demand,24/7. Typically, these are for nonemergency issues such as colds, flu, ear-aches and skin rashes, and they cost around $ 45, compared with approximately $ 100 at a doctor*s office, $ 160 at an urgent-care clinic or $ 750 and up at an emergency room.[H]Many health plans and employers have rushed to offer the services and promote them as aconvenient way for plan members to get medical care without leaving home or work. Nearly three-quarters of large employers will offer virtual doctor visits as a benefit to employees this year, up from 48% last year. Web companies such as Teladoc and A- merican Well are expected to host some 1.2 million such virtual doctor visits this year, up 20% from last year, according to the American Telemedicine Association.[I]But critics worry that such services may be sacrificing quality fbr convenience. Consulting arandom doctor patients will never meet, they say, further fragments the health-care system, and even minor issues such as upper respiratory（上呼吸道的）in_ fections can't be thoroughly evaluated by a doctor who can*t listen to your heart or feel your swollen glands. In a recent study, researchers posing as patients with skin problems sought help from 16 telemedicine sites—with unsettling results. In 62 encounters, fewer than one-third disclosed clinicians7 credential or let patients choose；only 32% discussed potential side effects of prescribed medications. Several sites misdiagnosed serious conditions, largely because they failed to ask basic follow-up questions, the researchers said. w Telemedicine holds enormous promise, but these sites are just not ready for prime time,M says Jack Resneck, the study *s lead author. [J]The American Telemedicine Association and other organizations have started accreditation （鉴定）programs to identify top-quality telemedicine sites. The American Medical Association this month approved new ethical guidelines for telemedicine, calling fbr participating doctors to recognize the limitations of such services and ensure that they have sufficient information to make clinical recommendations.[K]Who pays for the services? While employers and health plans have been eager to cover virtual urgent-care visits, insurers have been far less willing to pay for telemedicine when doctors use phone, email or video to consult with existing patients about continuing issues. "It's very hard to get paid unless you physically see the patient," says Peter Rasmussen, medical director of distance health at the Cleveland Clinic. Some 32 states have passed "parity”（等同的）laws requiring private insurers to reimburse doctors forservices delivered remotely if the same service would be covered in person, though not necessarily at the same rate or frequency. Medicare lags further behind. The federal health plan for the elderly covers a small number of telemedicine services—only for beneficiaries in rural areas and only when the services are received in a hospital, doctor's office or clinic.[L]Bills to expand Medicare coverage of telemedicine have bipartisan（两党的）support in Congress. Opponents worry that such expansion would be costly for taxpayers, but advocates say it would save money in the long run.[M]Experts say more hospitals are likely to invest in telemedicine systems as they move away from fee-fbr-service payments and into managed-care-type contracts that give them a set fee to provide care for patients and allow them to keep any savings they achieve.[N]Is the state-by-state regulatory system outdated? Historically, regulation of medicine has been left to individual states. But some industry members contend that having 50 different sets of rules, licensing fees and even definitions of "medical practice" makes less sense in the era of telemedicine and is hampering its growth. Currently, doctors must have a valid license in the state where the patient is located to provide medical care, which means virtual-visit companies can match users only with locally licensed clinicians. It also causes administrative hassles（⿇烦）for world-class medical centers that attract patients from across the country. At the Mayo Clinic, doctors who treat out-of- state patients can follow up with them via phone, email or web chats when they return home, but they can only discuss the conditions they treated in person. "If the patient wants to talk about a new problem, the doctor has to be licensed in that state to discuss it. If not, the patient should talk to his primary-care physician about it," says Steve Ommen, who runs Mayo's Connected Care program.[O]To date, 17 states have joined a compact that will allow a doctor licensed in one member state to quickly obtain a license in another. While welcoming the move, some telemedicine advocates would prefer states to automatically honor one another's licenses, as they do with drivers* licenses. But states aren't likely to surrender control of medical practice, and most are considering new regulations. This year, more than 200 telemedicine-related bills have been introduced in 42 states, many regarding what services Medicaid will cover and whether payers should reimburse for remote patient monitoring. M A lot of states are still trying to define telemedicine，'‘ says Lisa Robbin, chief advocacy officer for the Federation of State Medical Boards.36.An overwhelming majority of family physicians are willing to use telemedicine if they are dulypaid.37.Many employers are eager to provide telemedicine service as a benefit to their employeesbecause of its convenience.38.Different states have markedly different regulations for telemedicine.39.With telemedicine, patients in regions short of professional medical service are able to receivebetter medical care.40.Unlike employers and health plans, insurers have been rather reluctant to pay for some2020.9 第4页/共20页（第2套）telemedicine services.41.Some supporters of telemedicine hope states will accept each other's medical practice licenses asvalid.42.The fastest growing area for telemedicine services is for lesser health problems.43.As telemedicine spreads quickly, some of its opponents doubt whether its service quality can beguaranteed.44.The results obtained by researchers who pretended to be patients seeking help from telemedicineproviders are disturbing.45.Some people argue that the fact that different states have different regulations concerningmedical services hinders the development of telemedicine.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) andD). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Danielle Steel, the 71-year-old romance novelist is notoriously productive, having published 179 books at a rate of up to seven a year. But a passing reference in a recent profile by Glamour magazine to her 20-hour workdays prompted an outpouring of admiration.Steel has given that 20-hour figure when describing her "exhausting" process in the past："I start the book and don't leave my desk until the first draft is finished.M She goes from bed, to desk, to bath, to bed, avoiding all contact aside from phone calls with her nine children. W I don't comb my hair for weeks," she says. Meals are brought to her desk, where she types until her fingers swell and her nails bleed.The business news website Quartz held Steel up as an inspiration, writing that if only we all followed her w actually extremely liberating M example of industrious sleeplessness, we would be quick to see results.Well, indeed. With research results showing the cumulative effects of sleep loss and its impact on productivity, doubt has been voiced about the accuracy of Steel's self-assessment. Her output may be undeniable, but sceptics have suggested that she is guilty of erasing the role of ghostwriters (代笔⼈)at worst, gross exaggeration at best.Steel says working 20 hours a day is u pretty brutal physically.M But is it even possible? "No," says Maryanne Taylor of the Sleep Works. While you could work that long, the impact on productivity would make it hardly worthwhile. If Steel was routinely sleeping for four hours a night, she would be drastically underestimating the negative impact, says Alison Gardiner, founder of the sleep improvement programme Sleepstation. "It's akin to being drunk."It's possible that Steel is exaggerating the demands of her schedule. Self-imposed sleeplessness has w become a bit of a status symbol" , says Taylor, a misguided measure to prove how powerful and productive you are. Margaret Thatcher was also said to get by on four hours a night, while the 130-hour work weeks endured by tech heads has been held up as key to their success.That is starting to change with increased awareness of the importance of sleep for mental health."People are starting to realise that sleep should not be something that you fit in between everything else，'‘ says Taylor. But it is possible—if statistically extremely unlikely—that Steel could be bom a "short sleeper" with an unusual body clock, says sleep expert Dr. Sophie Bostock. "It's probably present in fewer than 1% of the population.vEven if Steel does happen to be among that tiny minority, says Bostock, it's H pretty irre-sponsible M to suggest that 20-hour days are simply a question of discipline for the rest of us.46.What do we learn from the passage about Glamour magazine readers?A)They are intrigued by the exotic romance in Danielle SteeFs novels.B)They are amazed by the number of books written by Danielle Steel.C)They are deeply impressed by Danielle Steel's daily work schedule.D)They are highly motivated by Danielle SteeFs unusual productivity.47.What did the business news website Quartz say about Danielle Steel?A)She could serve as an example of industriousness.B)She proved we could liberate ourselves from sleep.C)She could be an inspiration to novelists all over the world.D)She showed we could get all our work done without sleep.48.What do sceptics think of Danielle Steel's work schedule claims?A)They are questionable. C) They are irresistible.B)They are alterable. D) They are verifiable.49.What does Maryanne Taylor think of self-imposed sleeplessness?A)It may turn out to be key to a successful career.B)It may be practiced only by certain tech heads.C)It may symbolise one*s importance and success.D)It may well serve as a measure of self-discipline.50.How does Dr. Sophie Bostock look at the 20-hour daily work schedule?A)One should not adopt it without consulting a sleep expert.B)The general public should not be encouraged to follow it.C)One must be duly self-disciplined to adhere to it.D)The majority must adjust their body clock for it.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Organic agriculture is a relatively untapped resource for feeding the Earth's population, especially in the face of climate change and other global challenges. That,s the conclusion I reached in reviewing 40 years of science comparing the long-term prospects of organic and conventional farming.The review study, u Organic Agriculture in the 21st Century,M is featured as the cover story for the February issue of the journal Nature Plants. It is the first to compare organic and conventional agriculture across the main goals of sustainability identified by the National Academy of Sciences: productivity, economics, and environment.Critics have long argued that organic agriculture is inefficient, requiring more land to yield the same amount of food. It's true that organic farming produces lower yields, averaging 10 to 20 percentless than conventional. Advocates contend that the environmental advantages of organic agriculture far outweigh the lower yields, and that increasing research and breeding resources for organic systems would reduce the yield gap. Sometimes excluded from these arguments is the fact that we already produce enough food to more than feed the world,s 7.4 billion people but do not provide adequate access to all individuals.In some cases, organic yields can be higher than conventional. For example, in severe drought conditions, which are expected to increase with climate change in many areas, organic farms can produce as good, if not better, yields because of the higher water-holding capacity of organically farmed soils.What science does tell us is that mainstream conventional farming systems have provided growing supplies of food and other products but often at the expense of other sustainability goals.Conventional agriculture may produce more food, but it often comes at a cost to the en-vironment. Biodiversity loss, environmental degradation, and severe impacts on ecosystem services have not only accompanied conventional farming systems but have often extended well beyond their field boundaries. With organic agriculture, environmental costs tend to be lower and the benefits greater.Overall, organic faims tend to store more soil carbon, have better soil quality, and reduce soil erosion compared to their conventional counterparts. Organic agriculture also creates less soil and water pollution and lower greenhouse gas emissions. And it's more energy-efficient because it doesn't rely on synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.Organic agriculture is also associated with greater biodiversity of plants, animals, insects and microorganisms as well as genetic diversity. Biodiversity increases the services that nature provides and improves the ability of farming systems to adapt to changing conditions.Despite lower yields, organic agriculture is more profitable for farmers because consumers are willing to pay more. Higher prices, called price premiums, can be justified as a way to compensate farmers for providing ecosystem services andavoiding environmental damage or external costs.51.What do we learn from the conclusion of the author's review study?A)More resources should be tapped fbr feeding the world*s population.B)Organic farming may be exploited to solve the global food problem.C)The long-teim prospects of organic farming are yet to be explored.D)Organic farming is at least as promising as conventional farming.52.What is the critics* argument against organic farming?A)It cannot meet the need for food.

You're a senior advisor at the European organization for nuclear research. You also seem to tour the globe tirelessly giving talks. And In addition, you have your own weekly TV show on science. Where do you get the energy?W：Oh,well, I just love what I do. I am extremely fortunate life doing what I love doing.M：Professor, what exactly is your goal? Why do you do all of this?W：Well, As you said, I do have different things going on. But these, I think, can be divided into two groups. The education of science and the further understanding of science.M：Don't these two things get in the way of each other? What I mean is, doesn't giving lectures take time away from the lab?W：Not really. No, I love teaching. And I don't mind spending more time doing that now than in the past. Also what I will say is that teaching a subject helps me comprehend it better myself. I find that it furthers my own knowledge when I have to explain something clearly. When I have to aid others in understanding it. And when I have to answer questions about it, teaching at a high level can be very stimulating. One, no matter how much expertise they may already have in the field, they are instructingM：any scientific breakthroughs that you see on the near horizon? a significant discovery on venture. And we can expect soon?W：the world is always conducting science and there are constantly new things being discovered. In fact, right now we have too much data sitting in computers. For example, we have thousands of photos of planet mars taken by telescopes that nobody has ever seen. We have them yet. Nobody has had time to look at them with their own eyes, let alone analyze them.Questions one to four are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question 1. Why does the woman say she can be so energetic?答案：Oh,well, I just love what I do.Question 2. What has the woman been engaged in?答案：The education of science and the further understanding of science.Question 3.

But some people do. I would say people who believe that dreams have meanings are superstitious, especially nowadays, in the past, during the times of ancient Egypt, Greece or China, people used to believe that dreams could foresee the future. But today, with all the scientific knowledge that we have, I think it's much harder to believe in these sorts of things.W：My grandmother is superstitious, and she thinks dreams can predict the future. Once she dreamed that the flight she was due to take the following day crashed, can you guess what she did? She didn't take that flight. She didn't even bother to go to the airport the following day. Instead she took the same flight. But a week later, everything was fine. Of course, no plane ever crashed.M：How funny did you know that flying is actually safer than any other mode of transport? It's been statistically proven. People can be so irrational sometimes.W：Yes, absolutely. But even if we think they are ridiculous, emotions can be just as powerful as rational thinking.M：Exactly. People do all sorts of crazy things because of their irrational feelings. But in fact, some psychologists believe that our dreams are the result of our emotions and memories from that day. I think it was Sigmund Freud who said that children's dreams were usually simple representations of their wishes, things they wished would happen. But in adults, dreams a much more complicated reflections of their more sophisticated sentiments.W：Isn't it interesting how psychologists try to understand using the scientific method something as bizarre as dreams? Psychology is like the rational study of irrational feelings.Questions five to eight are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question 5. What do both speakers think of dreams?答案：they don’t have special meaningsQuestion 6. Why didn't the woman's grandmother take her scheduled flight?答案：Once she dreamed that the flight she was due to take the following day crashedQuestion 7. What does the woman say about people's emotions?答案：emotions can be just as powerful as rational thinking.Question 8. What did psychologist Sigmund Freud say about adults dreams?答案：But in adults, dreams a much more complicated reflections of their more sophisticated sentiments.Passage one.南极考察队对于V湖冰面下生物的探索While some scientists explore the surface of antarctica, others are learning more about a giant body of water four kilometres beneath the ice pack.Scientists first discovered lake Voss dock in the 19 seventy's by using radio waves that penetrate the ice. Since then, they have used sound waves and evensatellites to map this massive body of water. How does the water in lake Vohs dog remain liquid beneath an ice sheet? The thick glacier above acts like an insulating blanket and keeps the water from freezing, says Martin Siegert, a glaciologist from the university of Wales. In addition, geothermal heat from deep within the earth may warm the hidden lake. The scientists suspect that microorganisms may be living in lake vohs stock closed off from the outside world for more than 2 million years.Anything found there will be totally alien to what's on the surface of the earth to see a good scientists are trying to find a way to drill into the ice and draw water samples without causing contamination.

The scientists hope their discoveries will shed light on life in outer space, which might exist in similar dark and airless conditions.Recently, close up pictures of jupiter, as moon europa shows signs of water beneath its icy surface.

It seems today that people are terrified of the term, particularly of having the label attached to them. Accusing individuals or groups of being radical often serves to silence them into submission, thereby maintaining the existing state of affairs, and more important, preserving the power of a select minority who are mostly wealthy white males in western society.Feminism is a perfect example of this phenomenon. The women's movement has been plagued by stereotypes, misrepresentations by the media, and accusations of man hating and radicalism. When the basic foundation of feminism is simply that women deserve equal rights in all facets of life, when faced with a threat of being labeled radical women back down from their worthy cause and consequently participate in their own oppression, it has gotten to the point that many women are afraid to call themselves feminists because of the stigma attached to the word. If people refuse to be controlled and intimidated by stigma, as the stigma as lose all their power, without fear and which to feed such stigma as can only die. To me, a radical is simply someone who rebels against the norm. What advocates a change in the existingstate of affairs? On closer inspection, it becomes clear that the norm is constantly involving and therefore is not a constant entity.So why there is deviation from the present situation? Such a threat than the state of affairs itself is unstable. And subject to relentless transformation, it all goes back to maintaining the power of those who have it and preventing the rise of those who don't. In fact, when we look at the word radical in a historical context, nearly every figure we now hold up as a hero was considered a radical in his or her time. Radicals are people who affect change. They are the people about whom history is written. Abolitionists were radicals. Civil rights activists were radicals, even the founders of our country in their fight to win independence from England or radicals. Their presence in history has changed the way our society functions, mainly by shifting the balance of power that previously existed. There are some radicals who have made a negative impact on humanity. But undeniably, there would simply be no progress without radicals. That being said, next time someone calls me a radical, I will accept that label with pride.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the recording you have just heard.Question 16. What usually happens when people are accused of being radical?答案：preserving the power of a select minority who are mostly wealthy white males in western society.Question 17. What is the speaker's definition of a radical?答案：a radical is simply someone who rebels against the norm.Question 18. What does the speaker think of most radicals in the American history?答案：there would simply be no progress without radicals.Recording two.人的社会性因素：不可避免的被环境影响We are very susceptible to the influence of the people around us. For instance, you may have known somebody who has gone overseas for a year or so and has returned with an accent. Perhaps. We become part of our immediate environment. None of us are immune to the influences of our own world.And let us not kid ourselves that we are untouched by the things and the people in our life.Fred goes off to his new job at a factory. Fred takes his 10 minute coffee break, but the other workers take a half an hour. Fred says, what's the matter with you guys? Two weeks later, Fred is taking 20 minute breaks. A month later, Fred takes his half hour. Fred is saying, if you can't beat them, join them, why should I work any harder than the next guy?The fascinating thing about being human is that generally we are unaware that there are changes taking place in our mentality. It is like returning to the city smog after some weeks in the fresh air. Only then do we realize that we have become accustomed to the nasty smells mix with critical people. And we learn to criticize mixed with happy people. And we learn about happiness. What this means is that we need to decide what we want from life and then choose our company accordingly.You may well say that is going to take some effort. It may not be comfortable. I may offend some of my present company. Right? But it is your life. Fred may say I'm always broke frequently depressed. I'm going nowhere and I never do anything exciting. Then we discover that friends, best friends, are always broke, frequently depressed, going nowhere and wishing that life was more exciting. This is not coincidence. Nor is it our business to stand in judgmentof Fred. However, if Fred ever wants to improve his quality of life, the first thing he'll need to do is recognize what has been going on all these years. It's no surprise that doctors as a profession suffer a lot of ill health because they spend their lives around sick people. Psychiatrists have a higher incidence of suicide in their profession for related reasons.Traditionally, nine out of tension, whose parents' smoke smoke themselves. Obesity is in part an environmental problem. Successful people have successful friends. And so the story goes on.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the recording you have just heard.Question 19. What does the speaker say about us as human beings?答案：None of us are immune to the influences of our own world.Question 20. What does the speaker say Fred should do first to improve his quality of life?答案：It is like returning to the city smog after some weeks in the fresh airQuestion 21.What does the speaker say about psychiatrists?答案：Psychiatrists have a higher incidence of suicide in their profession for related reasons.Recording three.美元的发展历史(这玩意有啥可说的?)Virtually every American can recognize a dollar bill at a mere glance. Many can identify it by its sound or texture. But few people indeed can accurately describe the world's most powerful, important currency. The American dollar bill is colored with black ink on one side and green on the other. The exact composition of the paper and ink is a closely guarded government secret. Despite its weighty importance, the dollar bill actually weighs little. It requires nearly 500 bills to tip the scales at a pound. Not only is the dollar bill lightweight, but it also has a brief lifespan. Few dollar bills survive longer. 18 months.The word dollar is taken from the German word, tailor the name for the world's most important currency in the 16th century.The Thaler was a silver coin first minted in 1518 under the reign of Charles the 5th, emperor of Germany.The concept of paper money is a relatively recent innovation in the history of American currency. When the constitution was signed,people had little regard for paper money because of its steadily decreasing value during the colonial era. Because of this lack of faith, the new American government minted only coins for common currency. Interest bearing bank notes were issued at the same time. But their purpose was limited to providing money for urgent government crises, such as American involvement in the war of 1812. The first non interest bearing paper currency was authorized by congress in 1862. At the height of the civil war. At this point, citizens, old fears of devalued paper currency had calmed. The dollar bill was born. The new green colored paper money quickly earned the nickname greenback. Today, the American dollar bill is a product of the federal reserve and is issued from the 12 federal reserve banks around the United States. The government keeps a steady supply of approximately 2 billion bills in circulation at all times.Controversy continues to surround the true value of the dollar bill.American history has seen generations of politicians argue in favor of a gold standard for American currency. However, for the present, the American dollar bill holds the value that is printed on it and little more. The only other guarantee on the bill is a federalreserve pledge as a confirmation in the form of government securities.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the recording you have just heard.Question 22. What does the speaker say about the American dollar bill?答案：The American dollar bill is colored with black ink on one side and green on the otherQuestion 23. What does the speaker say about the exact composition of the American dollar bill?答案：a closely guarded government secret.Question 24. Why did the new American government mint only coins for common currency?答案：because of its steadily decreasing value during the colonial era. Because of this lack of faithQuestion 25.

2020年9月英语六级选词填空题目全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Big Day Taking the Big English TestHi! My name is Timmy and I'm 10 years old. Today I had to take a really important English test called the Level 6 exam. It was super hard but I tried my best!The test had a section where we had to read a long passage and fill in missing words. The passage was all about the coronavirus pandemic that happened in 2020. I had to use clues from the sentences around the blanks to figure out what word fit best.The first blank was about how the virus _____ from bats to humans. I picked "spread" for that one because it talked about the virus moving between species. The next few blanks were about how quickly the virus was able to _____. I put "transmit" there since it moves easily from person to person.Then it talked about the _____ symptoms like fever, cough, and trouble breathing. I knew "common" fit there since thosewere the typical signs of being sick with the virus. It mentioned how the disease could be especially _____ for older people and those with other health problems already. I picked "severe" since it's a really dangerous virus for some groups.The passage explained how countries had to _____ lockdowns to try to stop the spread. I filled in "implement" there. It described life during lockdowns, with school and businesses being _____. For that I put "closed" since everything had to shut down for a while.It talked about all the safety _____ people had to follow, like wearing masks and social distancing. The word "precautions" made sense there. The passage said the pandemic caused a lot of job _____ as businesses struggled. I picked "losses" for that blank.There was a part about the race to _____ vaccines against the virus. I knew "develop" was the right word there. It explained how vaccines work by getting your body to _____ antibodies to fight off the virus if you get exposed. I filled in "produce" for that one.Towards the end, it discussed how different age groups were _____ for the vaccines first based on their risk levels. I put "prioritized" in that blank. The last part talked about how thepandemic had both short-term and potential long-term _____ on the economy and way of life. For that I wrote "impacts."Phew, that passage was really tough! Filling in all those blanks with the right word using context clues from the sentences around them was not easy. But I felt pretty good about most of my answers.The rest of the test had other sections like reading comprehension, writing an essay, and some different grammar questions. We had to identify incorrect sentences and choose the right word form to fix them. That part wasn't too bad.Overall, I think the Level 6 English exam was crazy hard for a 10-year-old kid like me! But my teachers have been preparing me for it all year. As long as I get a passing score, I'll be really proud of myself. Taking a huge test like this was an exciting challenge.My parents are going to take me out for pizza tonight to celebrate being done with the exam. I can't wait to dig into a pepperoni pizza after working my brain so hard today! Maybe I'll ask for some ice cream too as a reward. Hopefully I did well enough to make it to the next English level next year. Wish me luck!篇2September 2020 CET-6 Vocabulary Fill-in-the-Blank QuestionsHi, friends! It's me, your pal Claude, and today I want to talk to you about something super exciting – the vocabularyfill-in-the-blank questions from the September 2020 College English Test Band 6 (CET-6)! I know, I know, it sounds like a mouthful, but trust me, it's going to be a lot of fun!Now, you might be wondering, "What's the CET-6, Claude?" Well, let me explain. The CET-6 is a really important English test that college students in China take to show how good they are at reading, writing, and understanding English. It's kind of like a big exam that tests their English skills to the max!But don't worry, we're not going to dive into the deep end just yet. Today, we're going to focus on the vocabularyfill-in-the-blank questions from the September 2020 test. These are questions where you have to choose the right word to fill in the blank spaces in a sentence or a paragraph.Let me give you an example. Imagine you have a sentence like this:The _____ boy ran quickly to catch the school bus.Now, you need to fill in the blank with a word that makes sense in the sentence. You could choose words like "little," "young," or "small." See? It's like a fun word puzzle!But wait, there's more! In the September 2020 CET-6, there were some really cool vocabulary words that you might not have heard before. Words like "ubiquitous," "enervate," and "insipid." Don't worry if you don't know what they mean – that's what makes it so exciting! We get to learn new words together!For example, one of the questions might have been:The _____ of technology in our daily lives has made it almost impossible to escape its influence.Can you guess what word might fit in the blank? It's "ubiquitous"! Yep, that's a fancy word that means "being everywhere at the same time." Pretty cool, right?Or how about this one:After a long day of hiking, we felt _____ and in need of a good rest.The word that fits best here is "enervated," which means "drained of energy or strength." See? You're learning new words already!Now, I know what you're thinking: "Claude, this sounds way too hard for me!" But fear not, my friends! We're going to tackle these vocabulary fill-in-the-blank questions together, one word at a time.I'll share some tips and tricks with you to help you figure out the right words to use. For example, we can look at the context clues in the sentence or paragraph. We can break down the word into smaller parts (like prefixes and suffixes) to get a hint about its meaning. And of course, we can always use our trusty dictionaries or ask our teachers for help.But most importantly, we're going to have fun with it! Learning new words is like going on a treasure hunt – you never know what amazing gems you'll discover. And who knows, maybe one day you'll be taking the CET-6 yourself and impressing everyone with your incredible vocabulary skills!So, what do you say, my friends? Are you ready to dive into the September 2020 CET-6 vocabulary fill-in-the-blank questions with me? Let's do this! Grab your pencils, your dictionaries, andyour sense of adventure, because we're about to embark on a word-tastic journey!篇3It was a sunny Saturday morning and I was really (1)______ to go to the park and play. I had been (2)______ all week for my big spelling test and I was happy that was (3)______ with. I asked my mom if we could go and she said yes, but first I had to (4)______ my room.

On the drive home, I (25)______ asleep in the car. What a fun day at the park!篇4The Big Test for Big KidsThere was a very important test coming up for all the big kids in sixth grade like me. It's called the English Proficiency Test and it's really hard! We had to study and practice a lot to get ready.One part of the test was the cloze questions. That's where you get a passage with some words _________ out. You have to choose the right word to fill in the _________ from a list of answer choices. It's super tricky because sometimes a few words might _________ like they could fit, but only one is exactly perfect for that sentence.My teacher Miss Martin gave us lots of _________ to practice cloze questions. She said they test if we really _________ all the grammar rules and vocabulary words we've been learning. The passages could be about anything - history, science, people's life stories. We had to read carefully and use critical _________ skills.I did pretty good on the practice ones in class, but there were always a few _________ spots that stumped me. Like this one passage was about mountain _________ and it used a lot of adventury outdoorsy words I didn't know. Or another time it was talking about _________ discoveries and used fancy science terms.Miss Martin said the _________ is to never just pick a word because it sounds _________ alone. You have to think about how itfits in the whole _________ and make sure it makes sense there. Context clues are really important for cloze questions.My best friend Jaden is crazy _________ at cloze questions. He's a total wordnerd and reads like _________ all the time. He says the more you read, the better you get at _________ which words belong together.A few weeks before the test, Miss Martin had us do a_________ big practice exam with all four sections - listening, reading, writing, and cloze. I felt okay about listening and reading, but writing _________ stresses me out because I can never spell everything correctly. And those cloze questions...ugh!When I got to the cloze part, I tried using all my _________ strategies. I read the whole passage through first before filling in any blanks. I _________ at the other words in the sentence and thought about what type of word _________ make sense there - a verb, noun, adjective, etc. I tried to use context clues from nearby sentences to figure out the _________ meaning.Some of the questions were on easier topics I understood. But there were _________ tricky ones about things I didn't know much about, like ancient Egypt culture or the life cycle of insects. For those, I had to really _________ hard and use logical thinking to decide on the best _________ word.After doing that practice test, I knew cloze questions were _________ be the hardest part for me. Miss Martin could see I was worried, so she gave me some extra practice materials to_________ at home.Finally the day of the real English test came. I was _________ but tried not to stress too much. The listening part went okay, though there were some fast speakers I had trouble _________ everything they said. The reading passages were interesting but pretty challenging too.Then came the writing section where we had to write an_________ about our favorite family tradition. My hand cramped up from writing so much, but I _________ I put some really good examples and gave lots of details.Last was the cloze part I had been dreading. I took a deep _________ and started reading through the first passage. It was about life in a different country, so some of the vocabulary was unfamiliar. But I underlined _________ words and transition phrases, and tried to use logic and context strategies.There were a couple questions I just had to _________ a guess on. But for most of them, if I read the sentences篇5My Super Fun School Day!Hi everyone! My name is Emma and I'm 8 years old. I go to Sunny Valley Elementary School and I'm in 3rd grade. I really really really love school! I'll tell you all about my typical day.First thing in the morning, my mom wakes me up at 7am. I get dressed in my favorite outfit - usually a pretty dress with flowers or my jeans with stars on them. Then I go to the kitchen for breakfast. My favorite is pancakes! Mmm they are so yummy and fluffy, especially with maple syrup and strawberries on top.After breakfast, I brush my teeth really well and put my hair in pigtails or a ponytail. Mom packs my backpack with all my school supplies - pencils, crayons, notebooks, folders, and my lunch box with a sandwich, fruit, veggies, and a juice box.Then we walk to the bus stop at the end of my street. I love riding the big yellow school bus! My best friend Lily gets on at the next stop and we sit together and chat about all the fun things we're going to do that day at school.When we get to school at 8:30am, we line up outside the front doors by class. My teacher Mrs. Jackson comes out and we all walk in an orderly line to our classroom. Once we're all sitting at our desks, Mrs. Jackson does attendance by calling outeveryone's name. I always say "Here!" in my loudest, most cheerful voice.Then we start our morning lessons. We usually do reading first. Mrs. Jackson has us get out our reading books and we take turns reading out loud. I love reading time because we get to discuss the stories and talk about the characters and plot. Sometimes we act out scenes from the book which is super fun!After reading, we have language arts where we learn about grammar, spelling, and writing. Mrs. Jackson gives us worksheets to practice using adjectives, verbs, and punctuation. I'm a really good speller so I always get high scores on the spelling tests every Friday.Around 10:30am we get to go outside for recess! Woohoo! I love playing on the swings, slides, and jungle gym with my friends. We also like to play tag, jump rope, and draw with chalk on the blacktop area. I always feel so energized after running around and getting fresh air.When we come back inside, we have math class. This is probably my least favorite subject because I'm not as good at it as reading and writing. But I try my best! We learn about addition, subtraction, multiplication, fractions, shapes, and measurements.I like when we get to use counting blocks, fraction circles, and other hands-on materials to help us understand.After math, it's lunchtime at 11:30am! Yay I'm always starving by then. I eat whatever yummy lunch my mom packed for me that day, then I get to go play outside again for a while.In the afternoon, we have science, social studies, art, music, and P.E. Science is awesome because we get to do experiments and learn about nature, space, matter, energy, and more. In social studies we learn about history, geography, government, and different cultures around the world.Art class is one of my favorites because I love drawing, painting, sculpting with clay, and all sorts of crafty projects. In music, we sing songs and learn about notes, rhythms, composers, and instruments. My favorite is when we get to play the xylophones and tambourines.P.E. is fun too because we get to run around and play games in the gym or outside on the field. We learn baseball, basketball, soccer, and workout exercises to keep our bodies healthy and energized.By the end of the day at 3pm, I'm exhausted from so much learning and playing!But I always feel so happy andaccomplished. The bus ride home is a lot quieter as my friends and I barely have enough energy to talk.When I get home, I have a snack like apple slices with peanut butter or graham crackers. Then I work on any homework I have - usually just a math worksheet or spelling practice. After that's done, I get to relax and play outside if it's nice out. Or I read, color, do puzzles, or watch a little TV.Mom cooks a yummy dinner, then we do our bedtime routine of taking a bath/shower, putting on pajamas, and brushing teeth. Finally, it's bedtime at 8pm. I'm usually so tired that I fall right asleep after Mom reads me a storybook! Then I wake up and get to do it all over again the next day. School is just the BEST!篇6My Summer VacationSummer vacation was so awesome! I had the best1ever. School was hard last year but I tried my best and got pretty good grades. My parents were2of me for working so hard, so they let me pick what we did for our family vacation.I3to go to Disneyland! I've wanted to go there since I was a tiny kid. We4there for an entire week and I loved5minute. We rode on all the famous rides like Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, the Haunted Mansion and more. My favorite was6the new Star Wars ride - it was like being in the movies!The7fun part was meeting the Disney characters. We took so8pictures with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and all the Princesses. Cinderella9me a big hug. I'll never wash this shirt again!

You can start your essay with the sentence "Online dictionaries are becoming increasingly popular. " You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.参考范文：With the growing popularity of smartphones and the high coverage rate of wireless network, online dictionaries are becoming increasingly popular for students in daily study. It seems to be a trend that online dictionaries would replace paper ones. However, just as the saying goes, “different strokes for different folks.”Some students are more prone to use online dictionaries and have two points to support it. First, online dictionaries are more portable, and make it possible to look up any new words that we met anytime and anywhere only via a small phone in our hands. Second, we can improve both written and oral skills, as online dictionaries allow us to hear the native pronunciation of eachword clearly. Whereas others hold differently. They are still in favor of use print ones. For one thing, paper dictionaries can protect our eyesight better than online ones as digital devices may emit radiation if we watch the electronic screen for a long time. For another, using the print dictionary can prevent us from being distracted by reminders of irrelevant information.As far as I’m concerned, although the content of paper dictionaries is authoritative, its lexicon is not updated as quickly as online ones. After all, we live in an information age and can have access to many hot words on the Internet every day.【选词填空第1套】26. H integrate27. B coincidence28. A associated29. L recognizable30. I maximizes31.

2020年12月英语六级真题答案(完整版)
2020年12月英语六级真题答案（完整版）【作文部分】范文一：Directions：For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay aboutthe impact of information explosion by referring to the saying "a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention". You can cite examples to illustrate your point and then explain what you can do to avoid being distracted by irrelevant information? You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.Happiness – Go for itIn this long journey we call "life", everybody is in pursuit of happiness and has their own interpretation of happiness. An inspiring idea is that happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them, which reveals the very truth about happiness. It cannot be achieved through waiting, but only through striving.There is no way that life always progresses as we wish. Problems may occur and we find ourselves in trouble, but it doesn't mean we are deprived of happiness. There are numerous examples for us to follow： disabled people overcoming obstacles, patients fighting against disease, poverty-stricken people achieving their dreams -- all these inspiring heroes. Their lives are definitely not problem-free, but they have found happiness by courageously solving problems.Therefore, it is essential to develop the ability to deal with problems. We need to muster our courage and confidenceto face the fact. Meanwhile, we need to find effective ways to cope with them.In a word, if we stay strong and approach problems effectively, there will be no storm in life that we cannot weather. And after the storm, happiness is within our reach.范文二：Directions： For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the remark “the greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.” You can give examples to illustrate your point and then explain what you will do to make your life more meaningful. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.How to Live a Meaning LifeAmong all the highlighted topics, there is “how to live a meaning life?” Everyone has his or her own opinion. As the saying has it, “the greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.” I cannot agree any more.If our life is just to pursue something for ourselves, we will surely feel fruitless and meaningless when we grow old. From Steve Jobs’s bibliography, we can get that the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. Steve Jobs has brought a great many changes to our world. His life, although short, definitely outlast. That’s a life worth living.Therefore, if there is a way to make my life meaningful, it should be to find something I’m interested in and also helpful to others or the whole society. Only in this way canI keep my passion throughout my life until I finally fulfilmy life.范文三：Directions：For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay aboutthe impact of information explosion by referring to the saying "a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention". You can cite examples to illustrateyour point and then explain what you can do to avoid being distracted by irrelevant information? You should write atleast 150 words but no more than 200 words.Ways to Get Over Information ExplosionAs a famous saying goes, “A wealth of informationcreates a poverty of attention”. Nowadays we are in the Information Age. Some people keep complaining aboutdistraction by the information explosion.Admittedly, the new information age has brought us somuch convenience that we are allowed to get enoughinformation just with a simple click sitting in front of the computers. Nevertheless, we are also confused, annoyed, distracted and upset by an incredibly large quantity of information. For example, when searching for something online, people are easily carried away by irrelevant information and forget their original plan. Besides, some information often turns out to be useless and actually advertisement. Therefore, it can be time-consuming and troublesome to searchinformation online.Then what we can do to avoid being distracted byirrelevant information? Here I have some useful tips：Firstly, make a list of what you really want before your searching. This will help you to refuse some appealing, yet irrelevant information. Secondly, find some trustful and professional sources or websites and then save and categorize them. In this case, you can easily leave some ads and useless information behind.【听力部分】1.

The Mid-Autumn has become popular all over China in the Early Tang Dynasty. The Mid-Autumn Festival, celebrated on the 15th day of the8th month of the lunar calendar, is a day for worshiping themoon. At that day, family members get together and enjoythe bright moon in the sky at night. In 2006, the Mid-Autumn was listed as a China cultural heritage, and in 2008 designated as a public holiday. The moon cake, an indispensable food of the Festival, is often used as a gift for relatives and friends or enjoyed in the family party. Traditional moon cakes are imprinted with Chinese characters with such meanings as “longevity”, “happiness” or “harmony”.翻译二：The world-renowned Silk Road is a series of routes connecting the East and the West. It extended more than 6,000 kilometers. The Silk Road was named after ancient China’s silk trade which played an important role in the civilization development of China, South Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter onAnswer Sheet 2.Reform and Medical Costs[A] Americans are deeply concerned about the relentless rise in health care costs and health insurance premiums. They need to know if reform will help solve the problem. The answer isthat no one has an easy fix for rising medic al costs. The fundamental fix—reshaping how careis delivered and how doct ors are paid in a wasteful, abnormal system—is likely to be achievedonly thr ough trial and error and incremental (渐进的）gains.[B] The good news is that a bill just approved by the House and a bill approve d by the SenateFinance Committee would implement or test many reforms t hat should help slow the rise inmedical costs over the long term. As a report i n The New England Journal of Medicine concluded,"Pretty much every proposed innovation found in the health policy literature these days is contained in these measures."[C] Medical spending, which typically rises faster than wages and the overall economy, ispropelled by two things: the high prices charged for medical servi ces in this country and thevolume of unnecessary care delivered by doctors and hospitals, which often perform a lotmore tests and treatments than a pa tient really needs.[D] Here are some of the important proposals in the House and Senate bills t o try to address those problems, and why it is hard to know how well they wil l work.[E] Both bills would reduce the rate of growth in annual Medicare payments to hospitals,nursing homes and other providers by amounts comparable to the productivity savingsroutinely made in other industries with the help of new technologies and new ways to organize work. This proposal could save Medi care more than $100 billion over the next decade. Ifprivate plans demanded similar productivity savings from providers, and refused to letproviders shift additional costs to them, the savings could be much larger. Critics sayCongr ess will give in to lobbyists and let inefficient providers off the hook That is f ar less likelyto happen if Congress also adopts strong upaygo” rules requiring that any increase inpayments to providers be offset by new taxes or budget cuts.[F] The Senate Finance bill would impose an excise tax(消费税）on health insurance plans thatcost more than $8,000 for an individual or $21,000 for a family. It would most likely causeinsurers to redesign plans to fall beneath the threshold. Enrollees would have to pay moremoney for many ser vices out of their own pockets, and that would encourage them to thinktwice about whether an expensive or redundant test was worth it. Economists pro ject thatmost employers would shift money from expensive health benefits in to wages. The House billhas no similar tax. The final legislation should. [G] Any doctor who has wrestled with multiple forms from different insurers, or patients whohave tried to understand their own parade of statements, kn ow that simplification ought tosave money. When the health insurance indus try was still cooperating in reform efforts, itstrade group offered to provide st andardized forms for automated processing. It estimated thatstep would save hundreds of billions of dollars over the next decade. The bills would lock that pledge into law.[H] The stimulus package provided money to convert the inefficient, paper-driven medicalsystem to electronic records that can be easily viewed and tran smitted. This requires openinvestments to help doctors convert. In time it sh ould help restrain costs by eliminating redundant tests, preventing drug inte ractions, and helping doctors find the best treatments.[I] Virtually all experts agree that the fee-for-service system—doctors are rew arded for the quantity of care rather than its quality or effectiveness—is a pr imary reason that the cost ofcare is so high. Most agree that the solution is to push doctors to accept fixed payments tocare for a particular illness or for a patient's needs over a year. No one knows how to makethat happen quickly . The bills in both houses would start pilot projects within Medicare. Theyincl ude such measures as accountable care organizations to take charge of a pati ent's needswith an eye on both cost and quality, and chronic disease manag ement to make sure theseriously ill, who are responsible for the bulk of all he alth care costs, are treated properly. Forthe most part, these experiments rely on incentive payments to get doctors to try them.[J] Testing innovations do no good unless the good experiments are identifie d and expandedand the bad ones are dropped. The Senate bill would create a n independent commission tomonitor the pilot programs and recommend changes in Medicare's payment policies to urge providers to adopt reforms t hat work. The changes would have to be approved or rejected as awhole by C ongress, making it hard for narrow-interest lobbies to bend lawmakers to the ir will.[K] The bills in both chambers would create health insurance exchanges on which smallbusinesses and individuals could choose from an array of private plans and possibly a public option. All the plans would have to provide standa rd benefit packages that would be easy tocompare. To get access to millions of new customers, insurers would have a strong incentive to sell on the exch ange. And the head-to-head competition might give them a strong incentiv e to lower their prices, perhaps by accepting slimmer profit margins or dema nding better deals from providers.[L] The final legislation might throw a public plan into the competition, but thanks to thefierce opposition of the insurance industry and Republican criti cs, it might not save muchmoney. The one in the House bill would have to ne gotiate rates with providers, rather thanusing Medicare rates, as many reform ers wanted.[M] The president's stimulus package is pumping money into research to com pare how wellvarious treatments work. Is surgery, radiation or careful moni toring best for prostate (前列腺)cancer? Is the latest and most expensive cholesterol-lowering drug any bet ter than its commoncompetitors? The pending bills would spend additional m oney to accelerate this effort.[N] Critics have charged that this sensible idea would lead to rationing of car e.(That would betrue only if you believed that patients should have an unrestr ained right to treatments provento be inferior.) As a result, the bills do not r equire, as they should, that the results of thesestudies be used to set payme nt rates in Medicare.[O] Congress needs to find the courage to allow Medicare to pay preferentially for treatmentsproven to be superior. Sometimes the best treatment might b e the most expensive. But overall, we suspect that spending would come do wn through elimination of a lot of unnecessary or even dangerous tests and treatments.[P] The House bill would authorize the secretary of health and human servic es to negotiatedrug prices in Medicare and Medicaid. Some authoritative an alysts doubt that the secretarywould get better deals than private insurers alr eady get. We believe negotiation could work. Itdoes in other countries. [Q] Missing from these bills is any serious attempt to rein in malpractice cos ts. Malpracticeawards do drive up insurance premiums for doctors in high-ris k specialties, and there is some evidence that doctors engage in "defensive medicine" by performing tests and treatmentsprimarily to prove they are not negligent should they get sued.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

2020年6月大学英语六级选词填空练习题
According to a paper to be published in Psychological Science this has an interesting psychological effect. A group of researchers, led by Eugene Caruso of the University of Chicago, found that people judge the distance of events 1 , depending on whether they are in the past or future. The paper calls this the "Temporal Doppler Effect". In physics, the Doppler Effect describes the way that waves change frequency depending on whether their 2 is travelling towards or away from you. Mr. Caruso argues that so mething similar happens with people’s perception of time. Because future events are associated with diminishing distance, while those in the past are thought of as 3 , something happening in one month feels psychologically 4 than something that happened a month ago.This idea was tested in a series of experiments. In one, researchers asked 323 5 and divided them into two groups. A week before Valentine’s day, members of the first were asked how they planned to celebrate it. A week after February 14th the second group reported how they had celebrated it. Both groups also had to describe how near the day felt on a 6 of one to seven. Those describing forthcoming plans-were more likely to report it as feeling "a short time from now", while those who had already 7 it tended to cluster at the "a long time from now" end of the scale. To account for the risk that recalling actual events requires different cognitive functions than imagining ones that have not yet happened, they also asked participants to 8 the distance of hypothetical events a month in the past or future. The asymmetry (不对称) remained.Mr. Caruso speculates that his research has 9 for psychological well-being. He suspects that people who do not show this bias-those who feel the past as being closer-might be more 10 to rumination( 沉思)or depression ,because they are more likely to dwell on past events.A) advancing B) apparently C)available D)closerE)differently F)evaluate G)experienced H)implicationsI)prospect J)rate K)receding L)scaleM)source N)subject O)volunteersTwo astronauts face a not-so-merry Christmas after being told to ration their food and hope a cargo ship with extra supplies docks on Dec. 21. Russian cosmonaut Salizhan Sharipov and American Leroy Chiao have been asked to cut out calories equal to three cans of Coke from their daily diet—around 10 percent of their daily __1__ and an amount that would be little noticed, NASA said.Russian officials, quoted in the local media, have __2__ blamed the previous crew for overeating during their one-month mission earlier this year, leaving a __3__ of meat and milk and a surplus of juice and confectionery .The Dec. 24 launch of the next Progress is now __4__ for the crew, stationed in orbit since October. It is due to __5__ with the ISS on Dec. 21.NASA officials said their situation was not so different from being cut off on Earth, and their lives were not at risk. If they do not receive __6__supplies, the astronauts would have to __7__ the station and return to Earth on the Soyuz capsule that is docked there.Russia has been the sole lifeline to the ISS for almost two years when the United States grounded its __8__ fleet after the fatal Columbia accident. Russia has often __9__ of its financial struggle to keep the ISS fully serviced single-handedly. Shuttle flights could __10__in May, officials have said, but in the meantime Russia will continue to launch all manned and cargo ships.A) deficit B) complaine C) severely D) allowanceE) considerately F) shuttle G) evacuate H) absentlyI) adequate J) dock K) resume L) vitalM) trivial N) evaluate O) freshThe typical pre-industrial family not only had a good many children, but numerous other dependents as well---grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins. Such "extended" families were suited for survival in slow paced 1 societies. But such families are hard to 2 . They are immobile.Industrialism demanded masses of workers ready and able to move off the land in pursuit of jobs, and to move again whenever necessary. Thus the extended family 3 shed its excess weight and the so-called "nuclear" family emerged---a stripped-down, portable family unit 4 only of parents and a small set of children. This new style family, far more 5 than the traditional extended family, became the standard model in all the industrial counties.Super-industrialism, however, the next stage of eco-technological development, 6 even higher mobility. Thus we may expect many among the people of the future to carry the streamlining process, a stepfather by remaining children, cutting the family down to its more 7 components, a man and a woman. Two people, perhaps with matched careers, will prove more efficient at navigating through education and social status, through job changes and geographic relocations, than the ordinarily child-cluttered family.A 8 may be the postponement of children, rather than childlessness. Men and women today are often torn in 9 between a commitment to career and a commitment to children. In the future, many 10 will sidestep this problem by deferring the entire task of raising children until after retirement.A)transplant B)solution C)gradually D)transportE)elemental F)conflict G)continually H)mobileI)couples J)agricultural K)including L)compromiseM)requires N)primary O)consistingEngland’s highest main-line railway station hangs on to life by a thread: deserted and unmanned (无人的)since it was officially closed in 1970. Dent, 36 high in the hills of Yorkshire, wakes up On six summer weekends each year, when a special charter train unloads walkers, sightseers and people who37want to catch a train from the highest station, on to its platform. But even this limited existence may soon be brought to an end.Dent station is situated on the Settle to Carlisle railway line, said to be the most38in the country. But no amount of scenic beauty can save the line from British Rail’s cash problems. This year, for the 39 of economy, the express trains which used to pass through Dent station have been put on to another route.It is now an open secret that British Rail sees no future for this railway line. Most of its trains disappeared some time ago. Its bridge, built on a grand 40 a century ago, is falling down. It is not alone. Half-a-dozen railway routes in the north of England are facing a similar threat. The problem is a worn-out system and an almost 41 lack of cash to repair it. Bridges and tunnels are showing their age, the wooden supports for the tracks are rotting and engines and coaches are getting old. On42lines between large cities, the problem is not too bad. These lines still make a profit and cash can be found to43 them. But on the country branch line, the story is different. As track wears out, it is not replaced. Instead speed limits are introduced, making journeys longer than necessary and discouraging customers.If a bridge is dangerous, there is often only one thing for British Rail to do: go out and find money from another44. This is exactly what it did a few months ago when a bridge at Bridlington station was threatening to fail down. Repairs were45 at 200,000--just for one bridge--and British Rail was delighted, and rather surprised, when two local councils offered half that amount between them.A. maintain；B. scenic；C. transcend；D. source；E. estimatedF. sake；G. complex；H.simply；I. consolidation；J. situated；K. respectively；L. total；M. major；N. restrained；O. scale大学英语六级选词填空练习题(5)For many environmentalists, the world seems to be getting worse. They have developed a hitlist of our main fears: natural resources are 1 out? the population is ever growing, leaving less and less to eat? species are becoming 2 in vast numbers, and the planet's air and water are becoming ever more polluted.But a quick look at the facts shows a different picture. First, energy and other natural resources have become more 3 not less so, since the book 'The Limits to Growth' was published in 1972 by a group of scientists. Second, more food is now produced per 4 of the world's population than at any time in history. Fewer people are 5 . Third, although species are indeed becoming extinct, only about 0.7% of them are expected to disappear in the next 50 years, not 25~50%, as has so often been 6 . And finally, most forms of environmental pollution either appear to have been 7 , or are transient - associated with the early stages of industrialization and therefore best cured not by restricting economic growth, but by 8 it. One form of pollution - the release of greenhouse gases that causes global warming - does appear to be a phenomenon that is going to extend well into our future, but its total impact is unlikely to 9 a devastating (令人心神不安的) problem.A bigger problem may well turn out to be an inappropriate response to it.Yet opinion polls suggest that many people nurture the belief that environmental standards are declining and some factors seem to cause this disjunction between 10 and reality.A) pose；B) exaggerated；C) accelerating；D) extinct；E) exist；F) perceptionG) wealthy；H) magnified；I) starving；J) head；K) running；L) predictedM) abundant；N) conception；O) reducing大学英语六级选词填空练习题(6)It seems you always forget-your reading glasses when you are rushing to work, your coat when you are going to the cleaners, your credit card when you are shopping...Such absent-mindedness may be 1 to you; now British and German scientists are developing memory glasses that record everything the 2 sees.The glasses can play back memories later to help the wearer remember things they have forgotten such as where they left their keys. And the glasses also 3 the user to "label" items so that information can be used later on. The wearer could walk around an office or a factory identifying certain 4 by pointing at them. Objects indicated are then given a 5 label on a screen inside the glasses that the user then fills in.It could be used in 6 plants by mechanics looking to identify machine parts or by electricians wiring a 7 device.A spokesman for the project said: "A car mechanic for 8 could find at a glance where a part on a certain car model is so that it can be identified and repaired.

If you are buying a hairdryer, you might think that you are making the 3 buy if you choose one whose look you like and which is also the cheapest 4 price. But when you get it home you may find that it takes twice as long as a more expensive 5 to dry your hair.The cost of the electricity plus the cost of your time could well make your hairdryer the most expensive one of all.So what principles should you 6 when you go out shopping?

But many of these students decided to stay on in the developedcountries when they had finished their training.In the 1960s, some Latin American countries tried to solve this problem by setting up special "return"programs to encourage their professionals to come back home. These programs received support from international bodies such as the International Organization for Migration, which in1974enabled over 1,60038scientists and technicians to return to Latin America.In the 1980s and 1990s, "temporary return" programs were set up in order to make the best use of trained personnel（39）strategic positions in the developed countries.

2020年英语六级选词填空练习题（2）Section A
According to a paper to be published in Psychological Science this has an interesting psychological effect. A group of researchers, led by Eugene Caruso of the University of Chicago, found that people judge the distance of events
36 , depending on whether they are in the past or future. The paper calls this the "Temporal Doppler Effect". In physics, the Doppler effect describes the way that waves change frequency depending on whether their 37 is travelling towards or away from you. Mr. Caruso argues that something similar happens with people's perception of time. Because future events are associated with diminishing distance, while those in the past are thought of as 38 , something happening in one month feels psychologically 39 than something that happened a month ago.
This idea was tested in a series of experiments. In one, researchers asked 323 40 and divided them into two groups. A week before Valentine's day, members of the first were asked how they planned to celebrate it. A week after February 14th the second group reported how they had celebrated it. Both groups also had to describe how near the day felt on a 41 of one to seven. Those describing forthcoming plans-were more likely to report it as feeling "a short time from now", while those who had already 42 it tended to cluster at the "a long time from now" end of the scale. To account for the risk that recalling actual events requires different cognitive functions than imagining ones that have not yet happened, they also asked participants to 43 the distance of
hypothetical events a month in the past or future. The asymmetry (不对称) remained.
Mr. Caruso speculates that his research has 44 for psychological well-being. He suspects that people who do not show this bias-those who feel the past as being closer-might be more 45 to rumination( 沉思)or depression ,because they are more likely to dwell on past events.。
