Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A ， B ， C and D. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. Passage One Americans usually consider themselves a friendly people. Their friendships ， however ， tend to be shorter and more casual than friendships among people from other cultures. It is not uncommon for Americans to have only one close friend during their lifetime ，and consider other “friends”to be just social acquaintances. This attitude probably has something to do with American mobility and the fact that Americans do not like to be dependent on other people. They tend to“compartmentalize” （ 划 分 ） friendships ， having“friends at work” ， “ friends on the softball team”，“family friends”，etc. Because the United States is a highly active society ， full of movement and change ， people always seem to be on the go. In this highly charged atmosphere，Americans can sometimes seem brusque（无礼的）or impatient. They want to get to know you as quickly as possible and then move on to something else. Sometimes ， early on ， they will ask you questions that you may feel are very personal. No insult is intended ；the questions usually grow out of their genuine interest or curiosity ， and their impatience to get to the heart of the matter. And the same goes for you. If you do not understand certain American behavior or you want to know more about them ， do not hesitate to ask them questions about themselves. Americans are usually eager to explain all about their country or anything“American”in which you may be interested. So much so in fact that you may become tired of listening. It doesn’t matter because Americans tend to be uncomfortable with silence during a conversation. They would rather talk about the weather or the latest sports scores，for example，than deal with silence. On the other hand ， don’t expect Americans to be knowledgeable about international geography or world affairs ， unless those subjects directly involve the United States. Because the United States is not surrounded by many other nations，some Americans tend to ignore the rest of the world. 46. The general topic of the passage is . A. American culture B. American society C. Americans’ activities D. Americans’ personality 47. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage？ A. Americans do not like to depend on other people. B. Friendships among Americans tend to be casual. C. Americans know a lot about international affairs. D. Americans always seem to be on the go. 48. The phrase“highly charged”（Paragraph 2）most probably means . A. extremely free B. highly responsible C. very cheerful D. full of mobility and change 49. It can be inferred from the passage that . A. Americans want to participate in all kinds of activities B. Americans’ character is affected by their social and geographical environments C. Americans do not know how to deal with silence D. Curiosity is characteristic of Americans 50. According to the passage，Americans tend to ignore the rest of the world because . A. they are not interested in other countries B. they are too proud of themselves C. their country does not have many neighboring nations D. they are too busy to learn about other countries Passage Two Want a glimpse of the future of health care ？ Take a look at the way the various networks of people involved in patient care are being connected to one another ， and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient-no matter where he or she may be. Online doctors offering advice based on standardized symptoms are the most obvious example. Increasingly ， however ， remote diagnosis （ telemedicine ） will be based on real physiological data from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using an off-the-shelf （ 现 成 的 ） PDA （ personal data assistance ） such as a Palm Pilot plus a mobile phone ，it is perfectly feasible to transmit a patient’s vital signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment in a first-aid kit（急 救包），the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past. Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster response—especially after earthquakes. Overall，the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and expertise. But there is one problem. Bandwidth is the limiting factor for transmitting complex medical images around the world—CT scans being one of the biggest bandwidth consumers. Communications satellites may be able to cope with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes，wars or famines. But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and third-generation mobile phones for the future of distributed medical intelligence. Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis ， training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications ，the new technologies should usher in （迎来） an era when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information ， expert opinion and diagnosis are common. 51. The basis of remote diagnosis will be . A. standardized symptoms of a patient B. personal data assistance C. transmitted complex medical images D. real physiological data from a patient 52. The sentence“the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past”means . A. now people probably would not ask if there is a doctor in the house B. patients used to cry and ask if there was a doctor in the house C. in the past people often cried and asked if there was a doctor in the house D. patients are now still asking if there is a doctor in the house 53. All the following statements are true EXCEPT that . A. it is now feasible to transmit a patient’s vital signs over telephone B. flood is not among the disasters mentioned in the passage C. the trend in applying telemedicine is toward providing global access to medical data D. telemedicine is being used by many medical teams as a tool for disaster response 54. The word“problem”in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that . A. there are not enough mobile phones for distributing medical intelligence B. CT scans are one of the biggest bandwidth consumers C. bandwidth is not adequate to transmit complex medical images around the world D. communications satellites can only cope with the short-term needs during disasters 55. A proper title for the passage may be . A. Improvement in Communications B. The Online Doctor Is In C. Application of Telemedicine D. How to Make Remote Diagnosis Passage Three Pictures in the British papers this week of Prince William，Prince Charles’s 18year-old son，cleaning toilets overseas，have led to a surge of altruism（利他 主 义 ） . Raleigh Internation-al ， the charity that organized his trip ， has seen inquiries about voluntary work abroad rise by 30%. But the image of idealistic youth that William presents no longer reflects the reality of the volunteer force. It’s getting older and older. Voluntary Service Overseas （ VSO ） has about 2000 volunteers in the field around the world. After a dip in interest in the mid-1990s ， applications to work abroad are at record levels. Last year 7645 people submitted applications，and 920 successfully negotiated the VSO selection process and were sent abroad. When the organization was founded in 1959 ，the average volunteer was in his early 20s. Now ，the average age is 35 ，and set to rise further.
