Unlike Britain, the US does not have a national health care service. Most people buy medical insurance to help pay for medical care. The government only helps pay for some medical care for the old and the people who are on low incomes. The problems of those who cannot afford insurance have become an important political subject.

In Britain, when people are ill, they usually go to a family doctor first. However, people in America sometimes go straight to an expert. Children are usually taken to a doctor who is an expert in the treatment of children. In Britain, if a patient needs to see a specialist doctor, their family doctor will usually recommend a specialist, which will save more time and money both for the patients and the public fund（基金）.

In Britain, doctors do not go to people’s homes when they are ill. People always make appointments to see the doctor in the doctor’s office. In a serious situation, people call for an ambulance. In America, hospitals must treat all seriously ill patients, even if they do not have medical insurance. The gov-ernment will then help pay for some of the cost of the medical care.

A. through the national health care service B. by buying medical insurance

Air travel is such an everyday experience these days that we are not surprised when we read about a politician having talks with the Japanese Prime Minister one day, attending a meeting in Australia the following morning and having to be off at midday to sign a trade agreement in Hong Kong. But frequent long-distance flying can be so tiring that the traveler begins to feel his brain is in one country, his digestion（消化吸收）in another and his powers of concentration nowhere---in short, he hardly knows where he is.

Air travel is so quick nowadays that we can leave London after breakfast and be in New York in eight hours, yet what really upsets us most is that when we arrive it is lunch time while we have already had lunch on the plane and are expecting dinner.

Doctors say that air travelers are in no condition to work after crossing a number of time zones. Airline pilots, however, often live by their own watches.

After a long air travel, a traveler _______.

A. finds himself in a different world

B. finds his brain apart from his body

C. finds himself in Hong Kong the following morning

D. has little sense about where he is

The sentence “Airline pilots often live by their own watches. ” means______.

A. they don’t trust others’ watches

B. they don’t change their watches

C. they make a living by their own watches

D. they do as they used to do

Doctors suggest the travelers_______?

A. should rest when they arrive in New York from London.

B. should work in good condition since they just finish a long journey.

C. rest in a place with good condition.

D. give up long journey since it makes them tired.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑 A

You're in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater. You listen to their conversation:

“I can't believe it--a Lorenzo Bertolla! They are almost impossible to find. Isn't it beautiful? And it's a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome. ”

They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater. It's nice and the price is right. You've never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really stylish. They must know. So, you buy it. You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency. They are actually paid to go from store to store, talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes.

Every day we notice what people are wearing, driving and eating. If the person looks cool, the product seems cool, too. This is the secret of undercover marketing. Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it.

Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don't pay attention to traditional advertising. This is particularly true of the MTV generation----consumers between the age of 18 and 34. It is a golden group. They have a lot of money to spend, but they don't trust ads.

So advertising agencies hire young actors to “perform” in bars and other places where young adults go. Some people might call this practice deceptive(骗人的), but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative. “Look at traditional advertising. Its effectiveness is decreasing. ”

However, one might ask what exactly is “real” about of young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater? Advertising executives would say it's no less real than an ad. The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something. You don' t know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance.

1. The two attractive young women were talking so that they could ________.

A. get the sweater at a lower price B. be heard by people around

C. be admired by other shoppers D. decide on buying the sweater

2. Lorenzo Bertolla is __________.

A. a very popular male singer B. an advertising agency

C. a clothing company in Rome D. the brand name of a sweater

3. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A. The two girls are in fact employed by the Lorenzo Bertolla Company.

B. The MTV generation tend to be more easily influenced by ads.

C. Traditional advertising is becoming less effective because it's too direct.

D. Undercover marketing will surely be banned soon by the government.

4. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. Two Attractive Shoppers B. Lorenzo Bertolla Sweaters

C. Ways of Advertising D. Undercover Marketing

The reason why we don't trust him is ________ he often lies．
