【题目】阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

The cost of medical care in the United States is very high. The time and money that doctors spend on their medical education is probably one reason for this problem.

A visit to a doctor's office costs from fifteen to fifty dollars. It is almost impossible for people to pay for medical care they need. Many people in the United States think that doctors are overpaid. Most doctors, however, disagree. They say that they have been required to study medicine for a long time. Tuition(学费)for many years of medical education costs lots of money. Doctors say that it is necessary for most medical students to borrow money from a bank to pay their tuition. Because this money must be repaid to the bank, young doctors need to receive a lot of money for their work. So they charge(收费)people high prices for medical care.

Therefore, it's possible that the high cost of medical care in America is unnecessary. Because high tuition is one cause of high costs, one way to lower costs would be to have medical schools that are free or have low tuition.

【1】Some people don't have their medical care they need because________.

A．they are not willing to pay the doctors high tuition

B．they don't think it necessary to have medical care

C．they don't want to spend much money on it

D．they haven't got enough money to pay for it

【2】The reason for the high medical cost mentioned(提到)in the article is________.

A．tuition in medical schools is high

B．the price of medicine is high

C．doctors are overpaid

D．doctors must pay money to banks

【3】One way to lower the cost of medical care would be________.

A．not to see a doctor

B．to pay doctors less money

C．to let medical students have free or partly free medical education

D．to forbid(禁止)doctors to ask their patients for too much money

【4】The main idea of the article is that________.

A．a visit to a doctor's office may cost as much as 15 to 50 in US

B．the cost of medical care is the main reason for the high costs in US

C．medical care in the United States costs a lot of money because doctors want to be rich

D．the high cost of tuition in medical schools is one reason for the high cost of medical care in America

【答案】【1】D

【2】A

【3】C

【4】D

【解析】【1】文章开头提及美国医疗费用相当高，因此就有人因无法支付高昂的费用而不去看病。

【2】此题考查细节事实，医药学校学费高也许是医疗费用高的一个原因，因为医生从业之前总是要在学校接受多年的教育。

【3】文末一句话表明作者的一点建议：降低医学院的学费，从而降低医疗费用。

【4】医药费用是因为医学院学费太高。

【题目】Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you know was in trouble and he was? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP.

ESP stands for Extra Sensory Perception. It may be called a“sixth sense.”It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.

Here is an example：A woman was doing washing. Suddenly she screamed, “My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair.”Just then, a telegram came. The woman's father had died of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair.

There are thousands of stories like this on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what is behind these strange mental messages. Here's another exampleone of hundreds of dreams that have come true.

A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, “There's room for one more.”The man felt the driver was death, so he ran away. The next day the man was getting on a crowded bus. The bus driver said，“There's room for one more.”Then the man saw the driver's face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn't get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was killed!

Some people say stories like these are lies or coincidence. Others, including some scientists say that ESP is true. From studies of ESP, we may some day learn more about the human mind.

【1】ESP lets people know about________.

A．their dreams

B．events after they happen

C．events before they happen

D．heart attacks

【2】The example of the man shows an ability to________.

A．avoid traffic accident

B．judge the good and evil of a person

C．know about the events that are happening some distance away

D．sense a danger that will actually happen later on

【3】In this passage the underlined word“coincidences”probably means________.

A．things which do not happen

B．things which happen by accident without necessary connection

C．things which are only dreams

D．things dreamed of only by sick people

【4】From the passage, it can be inferred that________.

A．the dead

B．men

C．women

D．either B or C

【题目】 (2010·天津卷)阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

When Dan Shaw gets up from the sofa in his home，Cuddles is never far away. When he wants to go outside，he doesn't take Cuddles out for a walkCuddles takes him for a walk. Cuddles is clearly no ordinary family pet. It is a twofoothigh miniature horse and serves as the guiding eyes of Shaw，who is blind.

They are clean, friendly，smart and have great memories. They can be trained to remain calm in noisy and crowded places. Best of all，they live for 25～35 years，which would enable Shaw to have the same guide companion for most or all of his life.

Shaw immediately applied to be and was accepted as the first person to receive a guide horse. The instant he met Cuddles，he knew he was making the right choice. Then he began his training.

Cuddles even demonstrated(显示)its ability to step in front of Shaw and block him，to prevent him from walking into a dangerous situation. The little horse also expertly led Shaw through busy shopping malls. They got along without any difficulties. Now Shaw is confident that Cuddles will change his life for the better.
