single line through the centre. Passage One

Questions 21to 25 are based on the following passage.

Who take cares of the elderly in the United States today? Many people wrongly believe that when people reach old age, their families place them in the hands of strangers for the rest of their lives, their grown children visit tem only occasionally, but more often, they do not have any regular visitors. The truth is that this idea is an unfortunate made-up story. In fact, family members provide over 80 percent of the care that the elderly people need.

Because Americans are living longer than ever, more social workers have begun to study care-giving to improve care of the elderly. They have found that all caregivers share something in common: all caregivers believe that they are the best person for the job. One caregiver said that she had always been close to her mother. Another was the oldest child. In other words, they all felt that they could do the job better than anyone else. Social workers interviewed caregivers to find out why they took on the responsibility of caring for the elderly. They discovered three basic reasons. Many caregivers believe that they had an obligation to help their relatives. Some stated that helping others made them feel more useful. Others hoped that by helping someone now, they would deserve care when they become old and dependent.

21. What’s the real situation of care-giving of most elderly people in the United Stages?

A) They stay in the nursing homes without any family care B) They are forgotten and left in the hands of strangers. C) Their children go to visit them only occasionally. D) Their families give them the most care they need.

22. All caregivers believe that . A) They have always been close to their mothers B) They like to take care of the elderly people at home C) They are the most suitable people to look after the elderly D) They share the same reasons for taking care of the elderly people

23. What is the reason given by some care-givers for doing the care-giving job?

A) They like to do some useful things in their spare time. B) They hope to get the same care when they become old. C) They need to earn some extra money D) They want to become a social worked.

24. Frome the passage we know that Americans today . A) Enjoy al longer life than ever before.

B) Do not worry about their old age life C) Are nostly living in the nursing homes? D) All stay with their families when they get old

25. The second paragraph is mainly about . A) Why social workers want to study dare-giving skills B) Why Americans now are able to live longer than ever C) Why caregivers can do the job better than anyone else D) Why caregivers do the job of taking care of the elderly

Passage Two

Questions 26 to 30are based on the following passage.

If you live in a city in North America or Europe, you have probably never thought much about water. Whenever you need some, you turn on the tap(水龙头) and the it is. Millions of people in other parts of the world are not so lucky. They have trouble getting enough clean water for their basic needs. This situation may soon become common all around the would. Scientist believes that the lack of clean water may be one for the biggest issues in the twenty-first century.

The reasons for this are clear. Not the one hand, people are using more water than ever. Over the last fifty years, the population of the would has more than doubled. So has the demand for water. On the other

hand, supplies of clean water are disappearing. Many sources of surface water are too polluted and unhealthy for use as drinking water. This has forced more and more people to drill wells so they can get clear water from underground.

If the world does not want to go thirsty in the near future, scientists say, further pollution must be prevented. Around the world, government must make real changes in industry, agriculture, and waste deposal.

26. According to the first paragraph, millions of people in the word have trouble in getting_______________ A) Enough facilities to supply drinking water. B) Enough food for the increasing population. C) Enough clean water for their basic needs. D) Enough living space in the world.

27. What has happened in the actual situation of water in the last 50 years?____________

A) Reasons of using too much water have been found. B) Sources of surface water have become less polluted. C) Enough clean water can be obtained from underground. D) The demand for water has more than doubled.

28. It is implied from the passage that underground water is now______________ A) Still healthy for use B) Also seriously polluted C) The only source of clean water

D) The only way to save the world from going thirsty

29. What should be done to prevent the world from going thirsty in the future according to the writer? ______________ A) To develop more water industries. B) To cut down the world population. C) To stop the pollution of water.

D) To make changes in the world economy.

30. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? ________________

A) European people are worrying about clean drinking water. B) Scientists think lack of clean water is a serious problem in the future.

C) People prefer drinking underground water rather than surface water.

D) Disposal of wastes has nothing to do with water pollution.

Passage Three

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

Employees are a company’s new ideas, its public face and its main asset. Hiring the right people is therefore the most important factor in a company’s success. On the other hand, recruiting the wrong staff can lead to disaster. If the human resources (HR) department makes mistakes with hiring, keeping and dismissing staff, a business can disappear very quickly. Many companies now realize that recruiting the best recruiters (招聘人员) is the key to success.

Why do people go into HR as their first choice? Choy has a ready answer:” I think most people in the profession are attracted by a long-term goal. Since it’s one of the few areas where you can see the whole operation, it can lead to an influential (有影响的) role on the management. Nothing happens in the company which isn’t affected by or doesn’t influence its employees, so the HR department is a very important part of any business.”

However, not all people agree. A survey of attitudes to HR departments received comments such as “What do they actually contribute?” But rising levels of pay show that the profession’s growing importance is widely recognized. As Choy points out, salaries have never been higher and, in addition, HR managers often receive large annual bonuses.

Despite the financial rewards, HR managers often feel they are not properly valued, and this is a major reason for many leaving their jobs. A lack of training and development is a more significant factor,” These days, good professional development opportunities are considered an essential part of an attractive package.” Choy explains.

31. We can learn from the first paragraph that the success of a company lies in _____________ A) Hiring creative employees B) Building up its public image C) Having right HR personnel D) Dismissing its bad staff

32. According to Choy, the reason why people go into HR is mainly that______________

A) They are able to determine the future of the company B) They can decide the fate of their employees in the company C) Their work can influence the operation of the company D) Their work can lead to a long-term contract with their bosses 33. Some people don’t believe that HR managers should get high pay because________________

A) They contribute little to the company’s operation B) Their annual bonuses are already higher than others’

C) Their work has never been widely acknowledged D) They exert no influence on the management’s decisions 34. According to the passage, why do many HR managers leave their jobs?

A) Because of the poor financial rewards for the job. B) Because of unhappy relationship with their employers

C) Because they cannot decide the development of the HR department.

D) Because they feel they have little professional training and development.

35. The word “asset” in the first sentence of the passage most probably means_______.

A) The good or useful quality a company possesses B) People who are valuable to the success of a company C) Advertisements that is effective for recruiting new works D) The things that a company owns, that can be sold to pay debts

Passage Four

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

If you or a loved one were having a heart attack and could choose between a teaching hospital and a traditional hospital, two new studies suggest the teaching hospital would be the better choice.

Because they have more doctors, with more access to the latest information, teaching hospitals kept alive more people with heart attacks and other major illnesses, according to a study in the latest New England Journal of Medicine.

The advantage for heart attack victims was simple—quicker application of the standard treatments at both teaching and non-teaching hospitals.

“There are many more people in teaching hospitals than there are in non-teaching hospitals,” Cassirer says. “There is a lot of consultation (专家会诊) that goes on.”

However, the studies ranked non-teaching hospitals better at supporting patients emotionally.

“Teaching hospitals are big places,” Cassirer says. “So it’s much more difficult to do that.”

Also, care costs more at teaching hospitals—about 5 percent more on average.

Supporters of the major teaching hospitals say they have cut some costs, but that cutting too much would damage their most important responsibility, which is the training of good doctors.

“It’s hard to measure in dollars and cents, but I think it’s recognizable in the standard of care available in the United States, something the rest of the world admires”, says Dr.Jordan of the Association of American

Teaching Hospitals.

36. One advantage of teaching hospitals over non-teaching hospitals in treating heart attack patients is that________.

A) They provide better medical treatment with low costs B) Patients get the latest information about their illness C) They keep more patients alive D) Doctors are more responsible

37. The word “that” in the sentence “So it’s much more difficult to do that.” refers to________

A) The consultation that goes on

B) The number of people in teaching hospitals C) The emotional support for patients D) The cost of care at teaching hospitals

38. One thing that seems to cause people’s concern about teaching hospitals is________.

A) The standard of care C) the number of doctors B) The cost of care D) the space

39. According to the passage, one important task of teaching hospitals

is________.

A) To train good doctors C) to provide the best care possible B) To reduce care costs D) to give patients emotional support

40. Dr. Jordan Cohen implies that in America_______. A) Measures should be taken to reduce care costs B) The standard of care can be further improved
