Today, the Tower of London is one of the most

Tower, princes have been murdered, traitors 25, spies

Part III. Reading Comprehension （30%）
Directions: There are 3 passages in this
part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For
each of them there are four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. You should
decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer
Sheet.
Passage One
Nursing at Beth
Israel Hospital produces the best patient care possible. If we are to solve the
nursing shortage, hospital administration and doctors everywhere would do well
to follow Beth Israel’s example.
At Beth Israel
each patient is assigned to a primary nurse who visits at length with the
patient and－constructs
a full－scale health
account that covers everything from his medical history to his emotional state.
Then she writes a care plan centered on the patient’s illness but which also
includes everything else that is necessary.
The primary
nurse stays with the patient through his hospitalization keeping track with his
progress and seeking further advice from his doctor. If a patient at Beth
Israel is not responding to treatment, it is not uncommon from his nurse to
propose another approach to his doctor. What the doctor at Beth Israel has in
the primary nurse is a true colleague.
Nursing a Beth
Israel also involves a decentralized nursing administration; every floor, every
unit is a self－contained
organization. There are nurse－managers instead of head nurses; in addition to their medical
duties, they do all their own hiring and dismissing, employee advising, and
they make salary recommendations. Each unit’s nurses decide among themselves who
will work what shifts and when.
Beth Israel’s
nurse－in－chief ranks as an equal with
other vice－presidents
of the hospital. She also is a member of the Medical Committee, which in most
hospitals includes only doctors.
36. Which of the following best characterizes the main feature of
the nursing system at Beth Israel Hospital?
A. The doctor
gets more active professional support from the primary nurse.
B. Each patient
is taken are of by a primary nurse day and night.
C. The primary
nurse writes care plans for every patient.
D. The primary
nurse keeps records of the patient’s health conditions every day.
37. It can be inferred from the passage
that __________.
A. compared
with other hospitals nurses at Beth Israel Hospital are more patient
B. in most
hospitals patient care is inadequate from the professional point of view
C. in most
hospitals nurses get low salaries
D. compared
with other hospitals, nurses have to work longer hours at Beth Israel Hospital
38. A primary nurse can propose a different
approach of treatment when __________.
A. the present
one is refused by the patient
B. the patient
complains about the present one
C. the present
one proves to be ineffective
D. the patient
is found unwilling to cooperate
39. The main difference between a nurse－manager and a head nurse is
that the former __________.
A. is a member
of the Medical Executive Committee of the hospital
B. has to
arrange the work shifts of the unit’s nurses
C. can make
decisions concerning the medical treatment of a patient
D. has full
responsibility in the administration of the unit’s nurses
40. The author’s attitude towards the nurse
system at Beth Israel Hospital is __________.
A.
negative
B.
critical
C.
neutral
D. positive
Passage Two
One of the most
difficult questions to answer is how much a job is worth. We naturally expect
that a doctor’s salary will be higher than a bus conductor’s wages. But the
question becomes much more difficult to answer when we compare, say, a miner
with an engineer, or an unskilled man working on an oilrig in the North Sea with
a teacher in a secondary, school. What the doctor, the engineer and the teacher
have is many years of training in order to obtain the necessary qualifications
for their professions. We feel instinctively that these skills and these years,
when they were studying instead of earning money, should be rewarded. At the
same time we recognize that the work of the miner and the oilrig laborer is both
hard and dangerous, and that they must be highly paid for the risks they take.
Another factor
we must take into consideration is how socially useful a man’s work is,
regardless of the talents he may bring to it. Most people would agree that looking
after the sick or teaching children is more important than, say, selling second
hand cars or improving the taste of toothpaste by adding a red stripe to it. Yet
it is almost certain that the used－car salesman earns more than the nurse, and the research chemist
earns more than the schoolteacher.
Indeed, this
whole question of just rewards can be turned on its head. You can argue that a
man who does a job which brings him personal satisfaction is already receiving
part of his reward in the form of a so called “psychic wage”, and that it is
the man with the boring, repetitive job who needs more money to make up for the
soul destroying monotony of his work. It is significant that those jobs which
are traditionally regarded as “vocations”─nursing, teaching and the Church, for example—continue to be poorly
paid, while others, such as those in the world of sport or entertainment, carry
financial rewards out of all proportion to their social worth.
Although the
amount of money that people earn is in reality largely determined by market
forces, this should not prevent us from seeking some way to decide what is the
right pay for the job. A starting point for such an investigation would be to
try to decide the ratio which ought to exist between the highest and the lowest
paid. The picture is made more complicated by two factors: firstly by the
“social wage”, i.e. the welfare benefits which every citizen receives; and secondly,
by the taxation system, which is often used as an instrument of social justice
by taxing high incomes at a very high rate indeed. Allowing for these two things,
most countries now regard a ratio of 7:1 as socially acceptable. If it is less,
the highly qualified people carrying heavy responsibilities become
disillusioned, and might even end up by emigrating （the so called “brain drain” is
evidence that this can happen）. If it is more, the gap between the rich and the poor will be so great
that it will lead to social tensions and ultimately to violence.
41. The professional man, such as the doctor, should be well paid
because ______.
A. he has spent
several years learning how to do his job
B. his work
involves much greater intelligence than, say, a bus conductor’s
C. he has to
work much harder than most other people
D. he knows
more than other people about his subject
42.The “brain drain” is evidence that ______.
A. well－educated people are prepared to
emigrate whenever they can get a better－paid job
B. people with
jobs of responsibility expect to be highly paid
C. high
taxation is a useful and effective instrument of social justice
D. the poor are
generally more patriotic than the rich
43. As far as rewarding people for their work is concerned, the
writer believes that ______.
A. we should
pay for socially useful work, regardless of the person’s talent
B. we should
pay people according to their talents
C. market
forces will determine how much a person is paid
D. qualified
people should be the highest paid
44. The argument of the “psychic wage” is used to explain why
______.
A. people who
do socially important work are not always well paid
B. people who
do monotonous jobs are highly paid
C. you should
not try to compare the pay of different professions
D. some
professional people are paid more than others
45. The writer says that in many countries the taxation system
______.
A. provides
encouragement to those who work hardest
B. makes the
rich provide the biggest share of the national income
C. reduces the
difference between high and low incomes
D. enables low－paid workers to keep most of
their wages
Passage Three
No woman can be
too rich or too thin. This saying often attributed to the late Duchess （公爵夫人） of Windsor embodies much
of the odd spirit of our times. Being thin is deemed as such a virtue.
The problem with
such a view is that some people actually attempt to live by it. I myself have
fantasies of slipping into narrow designer clothes. Consequently, I have been
on a diet for the better─or worse─part of my life. Being rich wouldn’t be bad either, but that won’t
happen unless an unknown relative dies suddenly in some distant land, leaving
me millions of dollars.
Where did we go
off the track? When did eating butter become a sin, and a little bit of extra
flesh unappealing, if not repellent? All religions have certain days when
people refrain from eating, and excessive eating is one of Christianity’s seven
deadly sins. However, until quite recently, most people had a problem getting
enough to eat. In some religious groups, wealth was a symbol of probable salvation
and high morals, and fatness a sign of wealth and well－being.
Today the
opposite is true. We have shifted to thinness as our new mark of virtue. The
result is that being fat─or even only somewhat overweight─is bad because it implies a lack of moral
strength.
Our obsession （迷恋） with thinness is also
fueled by health concerns. It is true that in this country, we have more
overweight people than ever before, and that, in many cases, being overweight
correlates with an increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease. These
diseases, however, may have as much to do with our way of life and our high－fat diets as with excess
weight. And the associated risk of cancer in the digestive system may be more
of a dietary problem─too much fat and a lack of fiber─than a weight problem.
The real
concern, then, is not that we weigh too much, but that we neither exercise
enough nor eat well. Exercise is necessary for strong bones and both heart and
lung health. A balanced diet without a lot of fat can also help the body avoid
many diseases. We should surely stop paying so much attention to weight. Simply
being thin is not enough. It is actually hazardous if those who get （or already are） thin think they are
automatically healthy and thus flee from paying attention to their overall life－style. Thinness can be pure
vainglory（虚荣）.
46. In the eyes of the author, an odd phenomenon nowadays is that
______.
A. religious
people are not necessarily virtuous
B. looking slim
is a symbol of having a large fortune
C. being thin
is viewed as a much desired quality
D. the Duchess
of Windsor is regarded as a woman virtue
47.Swept by the prevailing trend, the author ______.
A. had to wear
highly fashionable clothes
B. had to seek
help from rich distant relatives
C. had to go on
a diet for the greater part of her life
D. could still
prevent herself from going off the track
48.In human history, people’s views on body weight ______.
A. changed from
time to time
B. led to
different moral standards
C. varied
between the poor and the rich
D. were closely
related to their religious beliefs
49.The author criticizes women’s obsession with thinness ______.
A. from a
historical and religious standpoint
B. from
sociological and medical points of view
C. from an
economic and educational perspective
D. in the light
of moral principles
50. What’s the author’s advice to women who are absorbed in the idea
of thinness?
A. They should
gain v－eight to
look healthy.
B. They should
be more watchful for fatal diseases.
C. They should
be more concerned with their overall lifestyle.
D. They should
rid themselves of fantasies about designer clothes.
Part V Translation （35%）
Section A
Directions: Translate the following passage
into Chinese.
More and more
English－educated
Chinese Singaporean parents are becoming increasingly conscious of the
importance for their children to be proficient not only in the all－important English language, but
also in Chinese.
The emergence of
China as a potential political and economic superpower has driven home to them
that, becoming bilingual will not only enhance their children’s employment
prospects, but also make them a man of two cultures.
This drastic
change in these Chinese Singaporeans’ perception of the usefulness of Chinese
is quite remarkable.
Not so long ago, they would be proud to
proclaim that they knew only English and some even felt somewhat contemptuous
of the Chinese culture.
