22、h simple remedies the patient normally gets better in 4 or 5 days. Tonsillitis, however, usually starts with a sore throat which causes pain on swallowing. With children and some adults there may be a fever and the patient is obviously not feeling well. It may be possible to see white spots on the b

23、ack of the throat. The neck may also swell, both of which are the normal response to infection. Sometimes a sore throat may occur with the common cold, and with influenza there may be dryness of the throat, pain on coughing and loss of voice. TREATMENT Aspirin: To help relieve the pain on swallowing

24、 and (if there is one) the fever, use aspirin tablets dissolved in water, so that the patient can gargle before swallowing. Repeat the treatment every 4 hours. Drink: Encourage the patient to drink plenty of liquids. Food: Food should not be forced on a patient who does not want to eat. Steam: If th

25、ere is pain in the throat on coughing, breathing in steam may help.

At five years: half an adult aspirin. At eight y

26、ears: one whole adult aspirin. WHEN TO SEE THE DOCTOR If the sore throat is still getting worse after 2 days. If the patient complains of earache.

Go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on the Answer Sheet. For questions 50-55, mark Y (for YES) if the statement agrees

31、with the information given in the passage; N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage; NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage. For questions 56-59, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. In 1945 leaders from 51 c

32、ountries met in San Francisco, California, and organized the United Nations (often called the UN). World War II had just ended. Millions of people had died, and there was destruction everywhere. People hoped they could build a future of world peace through this new organization. The United Nations h

33、as four main goals and purposes: 1. To work together for international peace and to solve international problems; 2. To develop friendly relations among nations; 3. To work together for human rights for everyone of all races, religions, and of both sexes; 4. To build a center where nations can work

34、together for these goals. Today almost every country in the world is a member of the UN. Each country has signed an agreement that says: 1. All members are equal. 2. All members promise to solve international problems in a peaceful way. 3. No member will use force against another member. 4. All memb

35、ers will help the UN in its actions. 5.The UN will not try to solve problems within countries except to enforce international peace. Obviously, the United Nations has not been completely successful in its goals. There have been several wars since 1945. However, the organization has helped bring peac

36、e to some countries that were at war. It has helped people who left their countries because of wars. It has helped bring independence to colonies. The main United Nations organization is in New York City, but the UN has a “family” of other related organizations all over the world. These organization

37、s try to provide a better life for everyone. One example is UNICEF, an organization that provides food, medical care, and many other services for poor children wherever they live. Another example is the World Health Organization, which develops medical programs all over the world. There are thousand

38、s of UN workers in developing countries. They work as planners to increase production in farming and industry. They provide medical services, improve education programs, and spread scientific information. They develop programs that provide jobs and better living conditions. They help countries contr

39、ol their population growth. The United Nations also holds large international conferences, where people meet to discuss important world issues. One conference was about the uses and ownership of oceans. Another was about women. There are also International Years. In these special years, people work

40、together to improve situations and solve problems. One year was the International Year of the Child. For centuries countries have fought each other, and powerful countries have taken control of weaker ones. It is very difficult to persuade nations to live together in peace. Nevertheless, the United

41、Nations is attempting to do this. It is the only organization that unites the world in the search for peace.（分数：10.00）(1).The United Nations was organized at a meeting in California in 1945.（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_(2).The United Nations works for international peace.（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_(3).Kuwait is a member of

44、h it is difficult.（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_Section C (10 marks) In this section, there is one passage followed by 5 questions. Read the passage carefully, and then answer the questions in as few words as possible (not more than 10 words). Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Questions 60-64 are

45、 based on the following passage. A language is a system of sounds, gestures, or characters used by humans to communicate their ideas and feelings. There are about 4,000 spoken languages in the world. Some are spoken by millions of people. Other languages have only a few speakers. All languages have

46、rules for forming words and for ordering those words in sentences. In written languages, meaning is expressed through a system of characters and rules for combining those characters. In spoken languages, meaning is expressed through a system of sounds and rules for combining those sounds. Many deaf

47、people use sign languages, in which gestures do the work of the sound system of spoken languages. Word order is more important in English than it is in some other languages, such as Russian. The sound system is very important in Chinese and in many languages spoken in West Africa. Languages are always changing, but they change very slowly. People invent new words for their language, borrow words from other languages, and change the meanings of words as needed. For example, the English word byte wa
