  One of the greatest killers in the Western world is heart disease. The death rate from the disease has been increasing at an alarming speed for the past thirty years. Today in Britain, for example, about four hundred people a day die of heart disease. Medical experts know that people can reduce their chances of getting heart disease by exercising reducing stress in their work.

  However, Western health-care systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention of the disease. There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart disease. Instead of supporting such programs, however, the U. S. health-care system is spending large sums of money on the surgical(外科的) treatment of the disease after it develops. This emphasis on the treatment clearly has something to do with the technological advances that have taken place in the past ten to fifteen years. In this time, modern technology has enabled doctors to develop new surgical techniques. Many operations that were considered impossible or too risky a few years ago are now performed every day in U. S. hospitals. The result has been a huge increase in heart surgery.

  Although there is no doubt that heart surgery can help a large number of people, some people point out that the emphasis on the surgical treatment of the disease has three clear disadvantages: First, it attracts interest and money away from the question of prevention. Second, it causes the costs of general care to rise. After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern heart surgery, they must try to recover the money they have spent. To do this, they raise for all their patients, not just those patients whose treatment requires the equipment. The third disadvantage is that doctors are encouraged to perform surgery even on patients for whom an operation is unnecessary because the equipment and expert skills are there. A government office recently stated that major heart surgery was often performed even though its chances of success were low. In one type of heart surgery, for example, only 15 percent of patients improved their conditions after the surgery. However, more than 100000 of these operations are performed in the United States every year.

1.What effect has modern technology had on medicine?

[  ]

A.It has reduced the costs of medical treatment.

B.It has helped save the lives of most patients.

C.It has encouraged doctors to do more heart surgery.

D.It has helped educate people about the prevention of heart disease.

2.The underlined part “To do this”(in Paragraph 3) refers to ________.

[  ]

A.to help patients recover

B.to increase the number of heart surgery

C.to get back the money spent on the equipment

D.to buy new equipment for the treatment of heart disease

3.The author would agree that ________.

[  ]

A.more money should be spent on the prevention of heart disease

B.heart surgery has helped most patients improve their conditions

C.modern technology has made heart surgery more risky than before

D.the public have known a great deal about the causes of heart disease

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

[  ]

A.The Greatest Killer in the West

B.Heart Disease: Treat or Prevent?

C.Modern Technology and Heart Surgery

D.Heart Surgery: Advantages and Disadvantages

After a fortnight of extraordinary type, the much-feared computer virus that was supposed to strike the globe’s hard drives last Friday simply fizzled. So many warnings were sounded that most computer owners either fed anti-virus programs into their systems or refused to turn the power on during the dreaded M-day. They dodged one disease, but more strains are on the way. The eponymous Friday-the-13th virus is due to strike this week, and the Maltese Amoeba may detonate on March 15.

Who creates these things? A disproportionate number seems to originate in Bulgaria or Russia, where writing the smallest, most elegant virus programs has become a matter of quirky pride. Viruses are transmitted either by shared disks (as was Michelangelo) or over telephone lines. The virus program hides in a computer until, activated by a date, time, or some other trigger, it springs to life. The most common virus, Stoned, makes your screen announce: “Your computer is now stoned. Legalize marijuana. ” (Regardless of your politics, you don’t want this one around; it can damage your files inadvertently.) Solution: either keep your computer isolated—no trading disks, no on-line communication—or else install one of a dozen or so commercially available anti-virus programs that detect and delete the little time bombs. If they can come up with a virus that is hidden, will they next try to extort a business?—as in, pay me $1 million or my virus will destroy your system.

In the meantime, money is being made by firms selling anti-virus programs. Egghead software stores logged a 3,000 percent jump in anti-virus sales. Was the threat overblown by the companies that make millions selling anti-virus software? Thanks to the media blitz, no one will ever know what might have happened—an unallied number of computer owners discovered and deleted Michelangelo before it was supposed to strike—on the artist’s birthday.

The much-feared M-day was ________.

A. Friday-the-13th when the eponymous virus was due to strike

B. Friday-the-15th when the Maltese Amoeba would be activated

C. the previous Friday when Michelangelo virus was due to strike

D. the previous Friday which coincided with the artist's birthday

Computer viruses are ________.

A. diseases spread from one computer to another by shared disks

B. viruses hidden in a computer’s instructions by the designers

C. little time bombs hidden in a computer waiting to be triggered

D. just those computer programs created by malevolent designers

Which of the following sayings fits the Michelangelo virus?

A. A burnt child dreads the fire.        B. The bug’s bark was worse than its bite.

C. A barking dog seldom bites.         D. Once bitten, twice shy.

The author implies that in days to come the viruses might be used ________.

A. to destroy data                            B. to commit crimes

C. to commit mischief                      D. to create confusion

阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。  

When I worked in a large city, passing by someone experiencing homelessness wasn’t an uncommon sight. The difficult situation of those I saw touched me       , and I often felt, “I would be one of them        the kindness of God.”

I felt forced to do something, and as a single mom and newcomer to my field, I decided to  __     a plan that fit my limited budget. I began by        five to ten dollar bills each payday, and during the week, passing        out to those I met on the street.

Though a dollar felt like a small       , I realized how      _ it was to give the gift of being seen: for me to recognize that those I passed by were people just like me.        we would joke a bit and smile together. On some occasions, I was able to        more. I’ll never know how and if the dollars       , but I know that the connections we made did.

One day after I had started this weekly practice, I had        enough to buy myself a new winter coat. With my recent purchase wrapped around my shoulders, I        that my old coat could still be put to use by someone who had little or nothing to        them from the cold. However, at that moment, I felt inspired to pass on this opportunity for       . I turned to the salesman who had helped me, and asked if he would feel        taking my old coat, walking to the corner, and offering it to someone       . Slightly taken aback, he smiled. “I will as soon as I get a break,” he said. “Thanks for your       .”

I can’t help but feel that my        with kindness have moved me to pass it on, and in this way, I feel I’ve helped more than just those I        by on the street. Kindness touches many hearts, and I am grateful for the way it has        mine.
