For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1American medical instruments and techniques are the most advanced in the world. Bu the medical costs are enormous. One of my Chinese friends got in a car accident and was scratched a little bit on his forehead.(76) He was admitted into a hospital and the doctor immediately gave him a through physical check-up from head to toes. Then he was charged$ 800 . My friend wondered why the American doctor made such a fuss.There are several different reasons for this. One reason is that the fees are divided among several different places. Secondly, there are many lawsuits（诉讼）against doctors in America. They have a lot of money and a lot of people go to court to try to get their money. (77)If doctors don‟t check something, and it turns out that they need to check it, the patient can sue（控告）for hundreds of thousands of dollars for a small oversight（疏忽）. The third reason is that medicine in America is a business for profit in many cases. The last reason is that a lot of American people can‟t pay the high medical costs. But by law the hospital has to take care of them anyway. So hospital has to charge other people more money to make up for those who can …t pay very much or nothing at all.1. “Enormous” means _________.A. normalB. smallC. very greatD. certain2. The doctors always have to give a patient a thorough examination so that ______.A. they can find the cause of the diseaseB. they can take good care of himC. people will sing high praise for themD. they cannot be sued later3. An American doctor does a lot of tests to patient because______.A. the tests are quite necessaryB. he makes it a rule to do as much work as possibleC. the patient wants him to do soD. the more work he does, the more money he can charge you and the more profit he can make4. Which of the following is true?A. The medical costs in American have increased so much that a lot of Americans are unable to provide medical case for the family.B. In the eye of the law the hospital needn‟t take care of the poor patients.C. By law the rich in America have to pay high medical care for the family.D. Not every American can get medical care.5. The best title for this passage is _____A. High Costs in AmericaB. American Medical CareC. The Rich and the Poor in American HospitalD. Too Much Work for American DoctorsCDDABPassage 2In many countries there is a fixed charge for personal services. A certain percentage many be added to the bill at a hotel or restaurant “for the service”. (78)In other places the customer many be expected to give a tip, or a small amount of money, as a sign of appreciation whenever services are performed. In the United States there is no consistent practice in regard to tipping. The custom is more common in large city than in a small town. A native American may often be in doubt about when and how much to tip when he is in a city that is strange to him(79). In general, however, a tip is expected by the porter who carries your baggage, by taxi drivers (except, perhaps, in small towns), and by those who serve you in hotels and restaurants.When you pick up your incoming luggage at an airport, you may tip the man who takes it to the taxi or airport bus. He usually expects 35 cents a bag for his service. In some cities the taxi that takes you to your hotel many have one meter that shows the cost of the trip and another that shows a fixed charge, usually about 20 cents, for “extra” . In some cities the taxi driver may expec t a tip in addition to the “extra” , especially if he carries your suitcase. If no “extra” ischarged, tip is usually given. Hotels generally do not make a service charge, though there are places where one is added. It is customary, however , to give something to the porter who carries your suitcases and shows you to your room. In case of doubt, 35 cents for each bag he carries is satisfactory. In a restaurant you generally leave about 15 percent of the bill in small change on that table as tip for the person who has served you. A service charge is generally not included except in some the large , more expensive places. If the order is small—a cup of coffee at a lunch counter, or something of the sort--- a tip is not usually expected.6. According to the passage, the practice of giving tips____________A.is consistent throughout the world.B.Varies from place to place in the USA.C.is consistent in large towns in the USAD.s consistent in small towns in the USA.7. According to the passage, the following are the people one may tip EXCEPT__________A. portersB. taxi driversC. waitersD. cleaners8. According to the passage, which of the following is INCORRECT?A.“Extra” is a fixed charge in some cities.B.“Extra” is similar to tip in some cases.C.If the “extra” is paid, one doesn‟t tip any more.D.Some hotels require people to pay a service charge.9. According to the passage, the amount of money for a tip____________A.is the same across restaurants and hotels.B.depends on how much one pays for his meal.C.generally varie s according to the size of one‟s bag in hotel.D.is usually small for a cup of coffee at a lunch counter10. From the passage we learn that_______A.Americans sometimes are not sure how to tip.B.People in large towns know more about tippingC.One has to tip no matter how big or small the order is.D.People sometimes don‟t tip when they are not satisfied.BDCBAPassage 3Much has been said and written recently about heroes, chiefly because many people think we have too few of them. There are many different kinds of heroes, but they all seem to have two things in common. First, heroes, by their actions, show the great possibilities of human nature. Second, heroes can also stand the test of time, and their achievements will not be easily forgotten. Because of these qualities, we need to choose our heroes carefully.Olympic track star Jackie Joyner-Kersee, who many people believe is a hero, warns young people to be careful of making heroes of athletes. She hopes that if someone tries to imitate her, it will be because she achieved her goals by working hard. Joyner-Kersee says that a hero should be someone who has made difference in another person‟s life.Poet Maya Angelou believes that a hero inspires people to treat others well and to be concerned about the greater good. A hero should show politeness, courage, patience, and strength all the time. (80) A hero should inspire others to follow their concerns with actions that improve the world, even if only in small ways.Author Daniel Boorstin suggest that, “Celebrities are people who make news, but heroes are people who make history.” Thus , if a person is truly worthy to be called a hero, he or she will not be soon forgotten.We all need heroes. We need to be able look up to people who have been there, done that, and succeeded. Many times the greatest heroes are the people we deal with daily—relatives, friends, and neighbours ---who have kept going when it would have been easier to give up. The parent who puts her or his family ahead of a potential athletic career, the grandparent who chooses to stay and work instead of seeking fortune, the teacher who might have made more money at another career but chose to help others ---all these people can be considered as heroes. A hero quietly and steadily sets a good example, and example that inspires others to follow it.11. A good title of this passage is _______.A. Sports HeroesB. There Are No More HeroesC.

There is enough information in this story to show that _______.A. different people have different opinions of who is a heroB. we have fewer heroes today than we did in the pastC. a typical person seldom has a chance to become a heroD. young people today really don‟t need heroes anymore13.
