Want a glance of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the various networks of people about patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient —no matter where he or she may be.
Online doctors offering advice based on normal symptoms(症状) are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis(远程诊断) will be based on real physiological data(生理数据) from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using personal data assistance plus a mobile phone, it is perfectly practical to send a patient’s important signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment, the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.
Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural(countryside) care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster need—especially after earthquakes. On the whole, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and experts’ opinions.
But there is one problem. Bandwidth(宽带) is the limiting factor for sending complex(复杂的) medical pictures around the world — CT photos being one of the biggest bandwidth users. Communication satellites may be able to deal with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes or wars. But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and third-generation mobile phones for the future of remote medical service.
Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications, the new technologies should start a new time when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, experts’ opinions and diagnosis are common.
小题1: The writer chiefly talks about _______.
A．the use of telemedicineB．the on-lined doctors
C．medical care and treatmentD．communication improvement
小题2:The basis of remote diagnosis will be _______.
A．personal data assistance
B．some words of a patient
C．real physiological information
D．medical pictures from the Internet
小题3:Which of the following statements is true according to the text？
A．Patients don’t need doctors in hospitals any more.
B．It is impossible to send a patient’s signs over the telephone.
C．Many teams use telemedicine dealing with disasters now.
D．Broadband communications will become cheaper in the future.
小题4:The “problem” in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that _______.
A．bandwidth isn’t big enough to send complex medical pictures
B．the second-generation of Internet has not become popular yet
C．communication satellites can only deal with short-term needs
D．there is not enough equipment for spreading the medical care

小题1:A
小题2:C
小题3:D
小题4:A

本文主要讲述人们将来可以通过网上看病，医生可以根据病人的生理数据做出远程诊断。随着第二代因特网和第三代移动手机为将来的远程医疗服务，尤其是宽带网交流价格的下降，远程医疗和医药信息、专家意见和诊断共享将成为家常便饭。

Here's a new warning from health experts: Sitting is deadly. Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for prolonged periods — even if you also exercise regularly — could be   1 for your health. And it doesn't matter where the sitting takes place — at the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV — just the overall number of hours it   2  .
Research is preliminary, but several studies   3 people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die.
In an editorial   4 this week in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Elin Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that authorities rethink how they define   5 activity to highlight the dangers of sitting.
While health officials have issued guidelines   6 minimum amounts of physical activity, they haven't suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated   7  .
"After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send   8 signals," Ekblom-Bak said. She explained that genes regulating the amount of glucoseand fat in the   9 start to shut down.
Even for people who   10  , spending long stretches of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day —   11 still spend a lot of time sitting — might get more benefit if that exercise were spread across the day,    12 in a single bout.
That wasn't   13 news for Aytekin Can, 31, who works at a London financial company, and spends most of his days sitting    14  a computer. Several evenings a week, Can also teaches jiu jitsu, a Japanese martial art  15 wrestling, and also does Thai boxing.
"I'm sure there are some detrimental   16 of staying still for too long, but I hope that being   17 when I can helps," he said. "I wouldn't want to think the sitting could be   18 dangerous."
Still, in a study published last year that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat   19 had a higher death risk, independently of whether or not they exercised.
Figures from a US survey in 2003-2004 found Americans spend more than half their time sitting, from working at their desks to sitting in cars.
Experts said more research is needed to    20 just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be possible to offset those effects.

A new weapon is on the way in the fight against smoking in Europe. Soon when smokers buy cigarettes, they might see a shocking photo of a blackened lung or a cancer patient staring back at them from the packet.

Some boys may think of smoking as cool and sexy. Their friends won’t agree when they see their packets of cigarettes lying on the table.
The European Union announced on October 22, that it had chosen 42 photos that showed the damage cigarettes could do to the body. It called on member nations to put these pictures on packets to discourage young smokers.
To catch the attention of teenagers, the special packets warn of long-term medical dangers, like cancer. Short-term effects, like bad skin, are also on the list.
“The true fact of smoking is disease, death and horror. That is the message we should send to the young,” said David Byrne, an EU health official. “Hopefully these pictures will shock students out of their love for cigarettes.”
The EU head office hoped the pictures would work better than current written warnings on packs of cigarettes. The warning included “smoking kills” and “smoking can lead to a slow and painful death.”
So far, Ireland and Belgium have shown interest in the photos. Canada has used similar pictures and warnings on cigarette packs since 2000. The country has recently seen a fall in the number of smokers.
According to studies, smoking is the single biggest cause of avoidable death in EU. Every year more than 650,000 smokers die, more than one person a minute.
小题1:What would be the best title for the text?
A．New Ways to Stop Smoking.B．Pictures to Shock Smokers.
C．New Packers of Cigarettes.D．Dangers of Smoking.
小题2:Which of the following is NOT the true face of smoking?

A．The EU countries have put the new warning method into practice
B．only a small number of the EU countries have used the new warning method
C．the new warning method has worked in some EU countries
D．countries in the EU still use the old warning method
小题4:Which country is most successful in stopping smoking?

C．smoking is the biggest cause of deaths in EU
D．EU has the largest number of deaths caused by smoking
BEIJING, Jan. 11(Xinhuanet)-- Sleeping a little bit longer a day might help fight against obesity（肥胖）, a recent study shows. The research-- published in the Archives of Internal Medicine along with an editorial by Turek and Northwestern colleague Joseph Bass commenting on it and related research-- after comparing people of normal weight- a body mass index of less than 25- with those who were overweight or obese , found that sleeping for an extra 20 minutes each night could offer a pain-free way to lose weight.
Insufficient sleep is linked with changes in hormone levels that may stimulate（刺激）appetite. A series of studies in recent months have shown that the less people sleep, the heavier they tend to be.
American researcher Robert Vorona from Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk and colleagues have now examined the relationship between people's self-reported sleep time per 24 hours and their body mass index(BMI). They found that total sleep time and BMI were inversely correlated was total sleep time decreased, BMI increased, except in the severely obese group." Americans experience insufficient sleep and corpulent bodies. Clinicians are aware of the burden of obesity on patients," the study said. "Our findings suggest that major extensions of sleep time may not be necessary, as an extra 20 minutes of sleep per night seems to be associated with a lower body mass index," it added. "We warn that this study does not establish a cause-and-effect relationship between restricted sleep and obesity (but) investigations demonstrating success in weight loss via extensions of sleep would help greatly to establish such a relationship."
In November 2004, researchers from Columbia University in New York City, New York demonstrated a clear link between the risk of being obese and hours of nightly sleep, finding that people aged 32 to 59 who slept four hours or less per night were 73% more likely to be obese than people who slept between seven and nine hours per night.
小题1:The research, which was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, found that____________.
sleeping for a shorter time a day might help fight agianst obesity
an extra 20 minutes’ sleep each night could offer a way to lose weight wothout pain
total sleep time and body mass index were inversely related
people aged 32 to 59 who slept four hours or less per night were 73% more likely to be obese than people who slept between seven and nine hours per night
小题2:How many research results are presented in the text?
A．Two B．ThreeC．FourD．Five
小题3: What does the underlined word “obses” probably mean?
A．thinB．fatC．energeticD．painful
小题4:According to the text , the author intends to tell us that _____________________.
A．Sleeping a little bit longer a day might help fight against obesity
B．insufficient sleep is linked with changes in hormone lives
C．there exists a clear link between the risk of being obeses and hours of nightly sleep
D．the less people sleep , the heavier they tend to be
In 1957 a doctor in Singapore noticed that hospitals were treating an unusual number of influenzalike cases. Influenza is sometimes called “flu”or a “bad cold”. He took samples from the throats of patients in his hospital and was able to find the virus（病毒）of this influenza.
There are three main types of influenza virus. The most important of these are types A and B, each of them having several sub-groups（亚群）. At the hospital the doctor recognized that the outbreak was because of a virus group A, but he did not know the sub-group. He reported the outbreak to the World Health Organization in Geneva. W. H. O. published the important news together with reports of the same kind of outbreak in Hong Kong, where about 15％～20％ of the population had become ill.
As soon as the London doctors received the package of throat samples, they began to test them. They found that they could reproduce themselves at a very high speed. Continuing their careful tests, the doctor checked the effect of medicine used against all the known sub-groups of type A virus. On this virus, none of them was of any use.
Having separated the virus, the two doctors now made tests on some selected seleceted animals. In a short time the usual signs of the disease appeared. These experiments showed that the new virus spread easily, but that it was not a killer. Scientists, like the general public, called it simply “Asian flu”.
小题1: The Asian flu mentioned in the passage ____.       [    ]
A．had something to do with a virus group B
B．was reported to W. H. O in Geneva by a doctor in Hong Kong
C．broke out not only in Singapore but also in Hong Kong
D．was taken from the throats of the patients in a hospital in Singapore
小题2:London doctors considered ____.  [    ]
A．Asian flu as a bad cold
B．there were three main types of influenza
C．it was necessary to test the other groups of virus besides group A
D．the influenza called “Asian flu”a new one
小题3:The Singapore doctor helped the world by ____.  [    ]
A．making those with Asian flu well again
B．killing the virus that caused Asian flu
C．finding the sub-group of the virus
D．reporting the outbreak of Geneva
小题4: The Asian flu virus ____.       [    ]
A．was a killer
B．was very weak
C．could reproduce very quickly
D．died very fast
According to a famous optical(光学) expert, Alexander, who recently visited Shanghai, the developed countries in Europe and America have made rules that children must wear resinous(树脂) glasses instead of the traditional glasses made of glass. This is because the glass glasses are more likely to do harm to children’s eyesight.
Alexander pointed out: wearing the right glasses as soon as possible is still the best way to cure and put right children’s eyesight problems.
In America and Japan the resinous glasses have taken up 80 percent of the glasses market. And some European countries and America have made it a law that children, teenagers and drivers must wear resinous glasses. Now, about 10 million children in China have different eyesight problems and they need timely treatment.
But still, too many parents are buying the traditional glass glasses for their children. This is mainly because many parents know little or nothing about the good points of the resinous glasses. Besides, the price for the new glasses is a little higher than the traditional ones.
小题1:This news article mainly wants to tell us _______.
A．Alexander visited China and introduced a new type of glasses
B．we should wear resinous glasses instead of glass glasses
C．resinous glasses are popular in Europe and America
D．glasses can be made of other materials instead of glass
小题2:According to Alexander, the “timely treatment” to eyesight problems is _______.
A．to stop wearing glass glasses any more
B．to buy a pair of glasses and wear them right away
C．to wear suitable resinous glasses at the right time
D．to buy glasses made in Europe, Japan or America if possible
小题3: It can be inferred from this news text that _______.
A．resinous glasses are not on sale in China yet
B．resinous glasses are not acceptable in China
C．glass glasses have disappeared on western market because there is a law against them
D．glass glasses are the first choice in China not only because of their price
There are two kinds of physical activity which require special training. The first demands exact careful movements of the muscles. This kind of activity must be strictly controlled because even a slight movement in the wrong direction will lead a mistake. To type quickly, for example, a person needs training; the slightest movement of a finger in the wrong direction may cause a spelling mistake. A dancer who has to dance on the point of her shoes or turn around on one foot must be trained for a long period of time before she can sense her own center and balance herself. You may have seen a girl walking on a rope across an empty space, which, too, requires a lot of practice.  
The second kind of physical activity needs greater strength or extra effort. Most of us get tired if we try to run half a mile without stopping, but a specially-trained person can do this without much effort. Three years ago, some scientists carried out experiments, which produced meaningful and unexpected results. They wanted to find out whether a certain amount of physical exercise would injure those suffering from heart problems. They selected some male patients and trained them in continuous bicycle riding. They were surprised to find that the harmful effect of given amount of physical effort was actually less on the hearts of these trained patients than on those of the patients who were not similarly trained. This is important because it shows that regular physical exercise enables us to make better use of the oxygen we breathe in and that this training, in fact, reduces the amount of work our hearts do. Many tasks which are hard for untrained people are not hard at all for trained people.
小题1:The first kind of physical activity must be strictly controlled because _________.
A．a mistake in the wrong direction is dangerous to the fingers
B．a wrong movement in a direction will cause no mistakes
C．a movement in the wrong direction will cause a mistake
D．a slight movement of a finger will lead to a mistake
小题2:What must a dancer do before she can balance herself?
A．She must dance on the point of her shoes.
B．She must receive long-time training.
C．She must turn around on one foot.
D．She must perform again and again.
小题3:The experiments done by some scientists showed that ________.
A．some male patients were asked to ride bicycles regularly in the experiments
B．the physical exercise had more harmful effect on the hearts of the untrained patients
C．the physical exercise was harmless to the male patients with heart trouble
D．the physical exercise could be helpful for the patients to take in more oxygen
小题4:What would be the best title for this text?
A．Training Our BodiesB．Physical Activities
C．Movement TrainingD．Extra Body Effort
Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect. But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled—to $1. 01 per pack—smokers have jammed telephone “quit lines” across the country seeking to kick the habit.   
This is not a surprise to public health advocates. They’ve studied the effect of state tax increases for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sensitive. Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax increase.  
The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message. Tobacco taxes improve public health, health, they raise money and most particularly, they deter people from taking up the habit as teens, which is when nearly all smokers are addicted. Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.   
In Manhattan, for instance, which has the highest tax in the nation, a pack of Marlboro Light Kings cost ＄10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday. Charleston, S, C., where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation. The price was $4. 78.  
The influence is obvious.   
In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys—13.8%, far below the national average. By comparison, 26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky, Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records.   
Hal Rogers, Representative from Kentucky, like those who are against high tobacco taxes, argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans “who choose to smoke.”  
That’s true, But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting hooked in the first place, As for today’s adults, if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families, cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.  
66 The text is mainly about___________.   
A. the price of cigarettes                       B. tie rate of teen smoking  
C. the effect of tobacco tax increase              D. the differences in tobacco tax rate  
67 What does the author think is a surprise?  
A. Teen smokers are price sensitive.  
B. Some states still keep the tobacco tax low.   
C.  Tobacco taxes improve public health.   
D.  Tobacco industry fiercely fights the tax rise.   
68. The underlined word "deter” in Paragraph 3 most probably means ______ .   
A. discarding    B. remove    C. benefit      D. free  
69. Rogers’ attitude towards the low-income smokers might be that of _____ .  
A. tolerance   B. unconcern    C. doubt   D. sympathy  
70. What can we learn from the last paragraph?  
A. The new tax will be beneficial in the long run.   
B. Low-income Americans are more likely to fall ill.  
C. Future generations will be hooked on smoking.   
D. Adults will depend more on their families.   
Optimism and pessimism are both powerful forces. Each of us must choose which we want to       our future and our expectations. We can choose to laugh or cry, bless or      . It’s our decision: From which perspective do we want to view life? Will we look up in       or down in desperation? I believe in the upward look. I choose to       the positive and skip right over the negative.
An optimistic attitude is not a luxury; it’s a(n)      . The way you look at life will determine how you feel, how you perform, and how well you will get along with other people.      , negative thoughts, attitudes, and expectations       themselves; they become a self-fulfilling prophecy (预言). Pessimism creates a dark place where no one wants to live.
　　Years ago, I drove into a service station to get some gas. It was a beautiful day, and I was feeling great. As I walked into the station to pay for the gas, the attendant said to me, “How do you feel?” That seemed like a(n)       question, but I felt fine and told him so. “You don’t look well,” he replied. This       me completely by surprise. A little       confidently, I told him that I had       felt better. Without hesitation, he continued to tell me how bad I looked and that my skin appeared yellow.
　　By the time I left the service station, I was feeling a little      . About a block away, I      over to the side of the road to look at my face in the mirror. How did I feel? Was I affected with jaundice(黄疸)? Was everything all right? By the time I got home, I was beginning to feel a little nauseous(恶心). Did I have a bad liver? Had I       some rare disease?
On another beautiful day, when I went into that gas station, feeling       again, I figured out what had happened. The place had recently been painted a bright, distasteful      , and the light reflecting       the walls made everyone inside look as though they had hepatitis（肝炎）! I wondered how many other folks had       the way I did. I had let one short conversation with a total       change my attitude for an entire day. He told me I looked sick, and before long, I was actually feeling sick. That single       observation had a great effect on the way I felt and acted.
The only thing more powerful than negativism is a word of optimism and hope. When a whole culture adopts an upward look, incredible things can be accomplished.
