Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown tothe scholars of the classical andmedieval worlds,whileduring the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly 无庸置疑地meant reading aloud.Only during the nineteenth century 31did silentreading become commonplace.
  One should be 32wary,however,of assuming that silent reading came about 33because reading aloud is a distraction to others. Examination of factors related to 涉及the historicaldevelopment of silent reading reveals that it became the usual34mode of reading for most adultreading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.
  The last century 35saw asteady gradual increase in literacy有文化, and thus in thenumber of readers,As readers increased,so the number of potential listenersdeclined and36thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud.As reading for the benefit of为...的利益listeners grew less common,37socame the flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public places aslibraries,railway carriages ans offices,38wherereading aloud would causedistraction to other reders.
  Towards the end of the century there wasstill considerable argument over whether books should be used for informationor treated respectfully, and39over whether the reading of material such as newspapers was in 40any way mentally weakening.Indeedthis argument remains with us still in education. However,41whatever its virtues,the oldshared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media大众传媒 on the one hand andby books and periodicals for a specialized readership读者的身分42 on the other hand.
Bythe end of the century students were being recommended to 43 adapt attitudes to books and touse skills in reading them which were inappropriate,44though not impossible ,for the oral reader.The social,cultural,andtechnological changes in the century had greatly altered 45what the term“ reading” implied.

passage one
During the past30 years or so,health care 卫生保健has increasing become a form of business.Inaddition另外,the environment surrounding health care has been greatly altered bythe advent of …的到来more sophisticatedmedical technologies and increased specialization专业化.It is no longer trueto say that all doctors regard their profession as a sacredcalling神圣的职业,and while the doctor-patient relationship still remains,it is notthe relationship based solely on trust which it used to be. Of course there aremany doctors who have endevored to increase the transparency透明度of their behavior as medical professionals,and patients can receive effectivetreatment when such doctors work closely together and share notes.
An example ofsuch cooperation can be found in the field ofremote healthcare,which has been introduced on an experimental basis in several regions.Since most medical specialists live in cities,patients who live in the countryhave to travel a long distance to consult a specialist.This is especially hardon the elderly, both financially and physically.Through a computernetwork,patients who live in the country can consult请教a medical specialist in the city,tell him their symptoms,and receive advicewithout the need for a journey to the specialist’s office. Also,with severaldoctors being assigned to a single patient,the transparency透明度of each doctor’s behavior is further ensured. be assigned to a new post被派到新的工作岗位
On the otherhand,however,it is also true that remote health consultation is not generallyregarded as a form of medical treatment.For any sort of consultation to beregarded as medical treatment,most people feel that the patient must actuallyvisit the doctor,and undergo an examination by the doctorin person亲自.Remote health care isessentially a means for doctors to work as a team.In order for this to bepracticable,it is important to establish a system whereby由此financialsupport can be extended to a doctor who,as a member of a medical team,providesonly information. Establishment of such a system will further advance the cause目标 of “free access自由存取to information” in the health care field.

More than 22,000people holding the 349 number have filed提出 689 civil suits 民事诉讼seekingdamages赔偿金,as well as 5,200 criminal complaints alleging fraud and deception.SomePepsi employees have received death threats and now change their daily routinesto avoid being attacked.Explosives have been thrown at Pepsi plants and offices,and37 of the companby’s delivery trucks have been stoned,overturned orset on fire焚烧.In the worst incident,aschool-teacher and a five-year-old girl were killed last February when agrenade pitched at a Pepsi truck bounced off and exploded in front of a store.

passage 3
Young discoverers need not despair---though there are few blanksleft on today’s map of the world,there are still unexplored realms to becharted in the depths of the oceans,the most remoterecesses of在...的最远处the rain forests and the furthest reaches of outer space太空.Some scientists speculate there may be10 million species---perhaps even 100 million----living on the ocean floor thatare yet to be discovered.Recent research suggests that all told some 90% of theworld’s plants and animals still remain to be described and named (that is ,iftheir habits are not destroyed before they are even found).Given theseremarkable statistics,it’s clear that the physical world still offers intrepid无畏的explorers new frontiersof discovery.
In this section on recent discovers of the world around us,TIME travels 500m beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean withBruce Robison as he encounters a new species of luminous“jelly,”we make our way deep into the worls’s tropical rain forests,where morethan half of all life-forms on the planet live;we look into outer space toexamine the role asteroids may have played in mass extinctions of the past andthe potential threat they pose to our own civilization;and we ask whether thereis life ---intelligent of otherwise智能的或其他方面的---elsewhere in the universe.
John Hemming,former director of London’s royal GeographicalSociety,arguably the world’s epicenter中心of exploration,definesan explorer as someone “who goes to the edge of knowledge and brings backsomething new.” The people profiled 被简要描述的in this section fitthat description perfectly. The discoveries they have brought back from theirexplorations form new pieces in the puzzle of how the world works.As the piecesfit together,we get a glimpse of what a strange and beautiful mosaic 镶嵌图案 it is.

passage 4
“Backin the Victorian era,seven out of tenulcer sufferers溃疡受害者were women. By the 1950s ,the trend had reversed,nine of ten weremen.Now,the trend is shifting back,ulcer cases are only four times as frequentamong men.This may be a consequence of the changing roles of women in the labormarket, ”writes Philip Goldberg in ExecutiveHealth.
Ulcer have long been linked to stress and particular kind offrustration that stems from dissatisfaction with one’s work performance or one’slife.Digestive enzymes gnaw away咬去atthe stomachlining内层,causingpainful sores,or ulcers,which are found mainly in the lining of the stomach orthe small intestine.The acids which cause ulcers are triggered by thevagus nerve迷走神经,which is linked tothe brain,Under stress,the brain may stimulate the release of a hormone called gastrin胃泌激素, which ,in turn依次,stimulatesthe acidsecretions.“Althoughthere is no clear-cut轮廓鲜明的ulcer personality,there is no doubt that emotionaltension情绪紧张,acting through the vagus nerve,can precipitate 促成anulcer.A person who is under constant strain持续的压力,who isanxious,worried,frustrated---regardless of his or her station身份in life or apparent demeanor风度---is moreapt to developan ulcer, ”writes JaneBroky in her guide to personal health,adding,“Seemingly calm,relaxed people are as proneto ulcers as the hard-driving,high-pressure高度紧张kind.Ulcers occur as often in bus drivers,farmers,and constructionworkers as in business executives and writers with deadlines.It is not theexistence of stress,but how a person reacts to stress,that seems to make thedifference.”
Some women appear to “inherit” ulcers but they also can be caused byaspirin, alcohol, coffee, and cigarette smoking(which may account for theincrease of ulcers among women,since smoking among women is on the rise.)It isimportant to see a physician if an ulceris suspected,since ulcers can eat through the stomach lining into other organsand occasionally be fatal.Doctors will usually recommend a number oftreatments,including emotional counseling咨询服务and diet changes.Stress-reducing techniques also have beensuccessful in treating ulcers.
59.With a quotation from Goldberg,theauthor is trying ____
A.to clarify how ulcers afflict men and women
B.to warn us of the dangers of ulcers in women
C.to explain why ulcercases have increased again in women
D.to tell us that women have traditionally been more prone to ulcers
60.When you are under stress,you will____
A.be dissatisfied with your work performance
B.find a painful sore in the lining of your stomach
C.have your secretion ofdigestive enzyme stimulated
D.get your digestive enzymes to release gastrin
61.According to Broky,your proneness toulcers lies in____
A.your stress
B.your occupation
C.your social position
D.your reaction to stress
62.It can be inferred from the passage that____
A.ulcers are preventable
B.early ulcers are hard to detect
C.nobody is born with a susceptiable to ulcers
D.an ulcer is suspected in any smoking woman
passage 5
In a seeming contradiction,the growth ofcumputer-augmented work will probably create a need for less-skilled workersrather than the reverse.While early computers required much knowledge and skillto operate,comprehensive software packages软件包have virtually eliminated the requirement for technical knowledge.
Indeed当然,advanced software may lead to a decreased need for certain job-relatedskills.For example,word processing字处理 has reduced the needfor secretarial typing accuracy, since mistakes can be corrected quickly andeasily with no trace of correction.Spell-checking programs can be relied on toprevent common mistakes,thus decreasing the need for that language skill.Wehave already encountereed cashiers who have no need to compute a customer’schange. Instead, they merely enter the purchase amount and the the amountoffered in payment.The machine calculates the change and ,in some cases,automaticallydispenses it.
This effect is seen in more complex jobs,too.Nurses inintensive-care重病特别护理units often monitorseveral patients from a central station.Digital readouts continuously reportpatients’ vital signs.Alarms sound if values exceed an expected range.Despitethe obvious advantages computerization has brought to both patient andstaff,some health-care professionals are concerned that they may be losingimportant“soft” skills.The most important of thesemay be the intuition born of experience 来自经验acquired in personally observing hundreds or thousands of patients.Thelook in a patient’s eyes,the coloring of skin,and the appearance of pain orrestlessness are among many indicators used by medical personnel to anticipatechanges in patient condition.These cannot be captured on a digital display.
Itcannot be denied that computers have made great contributions toproductivity,nor would any reasonable person encouage scrapping the technology.However,wemust pay more attention to human needs,and to thelong-range长期的effects of making jobs less interesting and decreasing skillrequirements.
63.In the first paragraph,the author istalking about____
A.the wide use of computers
B.the contradictory issueof computers
C.the effects of computer-augmented work
D.the technical skills to operate computers
64.As the author illustrates ,the secretaryand cashier____

B.lose many health-care professionals
C.believe not in patients but in computers
D.lose the intuitionderived from experience
66.It can be concluded that from the passage that thecomputers’ contributions to productivity are undeniable,____
A.and more contributions are expected
B.so is the human dependence on them
C.but their consequenceeffects are worth considering
D.but we can abandon them for the sake of human needs

passage 6
   I wasinvited to present a lecture toa class of graduatenurse一届毕业护士 who were studying the “Psychosocial Aspects of Aging.” I started mylecture with the following case presentation:The patient is a white female whoappears her reported age.She neither speaks nor comprehends the spokenword.Sometimes she babblesincoherently无条理地for hours on end.She disoriented无判断力的aboutperson,place,and time.She does,however,seem to recognize her own name.I havewoked with her for the past 6 months,but she still does not recognize me. cohabit同居
  She showscompletedisregard for 完全不顾her physical appearance and makes noeffort whatsoever无论什么 to assist in her own care. She must be fed,bathed,and clothedby others.Because she isedentulous缺齿的,herfood must be pureed,and because she is incontinent大小便失禁的 of both urine and stool,she must be changed换衣andbathed often.Her shirt is generally soiled污染的from almost incessant drooling流口水.She does not walk.Hersleep pattern iserratic奇怪的.Oftenshe awakens in the middle of the night,and her screaming awakens others.
  Most of the time she is friendly andhappy.However,several times a day she gets quite agitated without apparentcause.Then she screams loudly until someone comes to comfort her.
After the case presentation,I asked the nurses how they would feel abouttaking care of a patient such as the one described.They used words such as “frustrated,”“hopeless,”“depressed,”and“annoyed”to described how they would feel.
  When I stated that I enjoyed taking care ofher and that I thought they would too,the class looked at me indisbelief怀疑.I then passed around分发 a picture of thepatient:my 6-month-old daughter.
After thelaughter had subsided,I asked why it was so much more difficuylt to care for a90-year-old than 6-month-old with identical symptoms.We all agreed that it isphysically easier to take care of a helpless baby weighing 15 pounds than ahelpless adult weighing 100,but the answer seemed to go deeper than that.
The infant,weall agreed,represents new life,hope,and almost infinite potential.The demented精神错乱senior citizen老年人,on the other hand,representsthe end life,with little potential for growth.
Weneed to change our perspective.The aged patient is just as lovable as thechild.Those who are ending their lives in the helplessness of old age deservethe same care and attention as those who are beginning their lives in thehelplessness of infancy.
67.The author’s case presentation implies that____
A.the patient is hopeless

70.According to the author,the aged patientshould be taken care of ____

B.to change his /her perspective
C.to expand his/her potential for growth

passage 7
Some problems can be readily identified simply by looking around.Theseproblems concern the pollution of our environment by technology as a result ofsudden upsets in the physical,economic and social balance.The most obvious ofthese are the general pollution of our physical environment and the destructionof irreplaceable natural resources.Not so obvious as these ,but juat aspainfully significant to some,are the disappearing and changing of jobs whichovernight often create large groups of jobless citizens.
Cantechnology be used to undo what it has done,replace what it has destroyed orsubstitute for what it has caused to disappear?No one knows.Many wonder whetheror not all of the sources of pollution have yet been identified,whether or notthey are being arrested and whether or not they will be prevented fromrecurring.
Another set of problems relates to涉及whattechnological advancement has done to the quality of life.An improved sociallife has not been unfortunately,either the goal or the chief beneficiary oftechnological change.Rather,any improvements that have occurred have been moreaccidental than intended.Too much has happened too fast.The changes demanded ofmarriage and family relationships remain largly unexamined.It is oftena matter of…的问题“put up or shut up” 要么行动要么闭嘴,and a person has to adapt his life-slyle to ever-changing不断变化的 conditions with little time forchoice.The “no-move-no-advancement”type is an example of one such problem.Manypeople are coming to think that the reward is simply not worthy the struggle,andthey are taking jobs with less responsibility and lower pay.
