13、数：4，分数：40.00)Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them: our purpose is to fit them for life. As soon as we realize this fact, we will understand that it is very important to choose a system of education which wil

14、l really prepare children for life. It is not enough just to choose the first system of education one finds; or to continue with ones old system of education without examining it to see whether it is in fact suitable or not.In many modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that

15、 by free education for all-whether rich or poor, clever or stupid-one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough: we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees than there are jo

16、bs for them to fill. Because of their degrees, they refuse to do what they think “low“ work; and, in fact, work with the hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries.But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important

17、than that of a professor: we can live without education, but we die if we have no food.In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever job is suited to his brain and ability and, second

18、ly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be ashamed of ones work, or to scorn someone elses. Only such a type of education can be called valuable to society.（分数：10.00）(1).The first sentence of this passage means that education is _. A. not the purpos

19、e of life B. a way of life C. to make people suitable for life D. not fit for children（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Free education for all is not enough, because _. A. it can not solve all the problems of society B. there are not enough jobs for those who have degrees C. degrees are useless D. people with de

20、grees are ashamed of their jobs（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The writer of this passage thinks that _. A. work with hands is dirty B. food is more important than education C. education is not necessary for some people D. it is better to be a completely uneducated farmer（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).We must be educate

21、d in such a way that_. A. we can choose whatever job we like B. we can do all kinds of jobs C. each of us can do a good job D. each of us can do some work that is useful to society（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).How can education be valuable to society? A. Education should be free for all. B. Education should

22、bring up people able and willing to do jobs necessary to society. C. Education should make people accept “low“ jobs. D. Education should provide higher degrees.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.When doctors need information about what dose of medicine to prescribe, they usually consult a fat blue book called the Phy

23、sicians Desk Reference, or PDR. But the doses recommended in the PDR may be too high for many people and may cause bad reactions, ranging from dizziness (头晕) and nausea(恶心)all the way to death, according to an article published last month in the journal Postgraduate Medicine.For many drugs, smaller

24、doses would work just as well, with far less risk of bad reactions, said the author, Jay Cohen, an associate professor at the University of California.“Side effects drive a lot of people out of treatment that they need,“ Dr. Cohen said. “People often gave up trying to treat their illnesses when they

25、 found that the cure was worse than the disease. But if doctors were to individualize doses for each patient, more people might take their medicine. “Dr. Cohen said he became aware of the problem because he met many patients who suffered from side effects even though they had taken what were suppose

26、dly the correct doses of medicine. When Dr. Cohen consulted medical journals and textbooks, he discovered studies showing that many patients were helped by smaller than usual amounts of medicine. And many of his own patients did better with reduced doses.Dosing guidelines generally tend to be too hi

27、gh because they are based on studies conducted with limited numbers of patients by drug companies when they are seeking approval for new products, Dr. Cohen said. For those studies to run efficiently, doses need to be high enough to show as quickly as possible that the drug works.But later, after th

28、e drug is approved, far more people take it, sometimes along with other drugs, and individual differences begin to show up. That information does not always make it into the PDR, Dr. Cohen said.Dr. Cohen cautioned that patients should not try to change doses of prescription on their own. He said the

29、y needed to work with doctors to adjust the doses safely.（分数：10.00）(1).According to Dr. Cohen, many patients gave up their treatment because _. A. they found no obvious improvement was made after the treatment B. they thought doctors gave them larger doses than needed for their illnesses C. they cou

30、ld not put up with the strong side effects of the drugs D. they had no confidence in the effectiveness of the drugs（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).“To individualize doses for each patient“ (Para. 3) means _. A. doctors prescribe different drugs for patients who have the same illness B. doctors prescribe differ

31、ent doses of medicine for different patients C. doctors consult each patient instead of the PDR in their prescription D. doctors write a prescription for a patient only for his own use（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Dr. Cohen pointed out in his article that _. A. drug doses recommended in the PDR should be rev

32、ised B. drug companies should try a new drug on more patients C. patients should not take their drugs together with other drugs D. lowering drug doses may cut the side effects of drugs（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).In order to seek approval for their new products, drug companies _. A. only choose those patien

33、ts for tests who react to the drugs well B. recommend higher doses which can show the drugs quick effectiveness C. exaggerate the usefulness of the drugs which they actually dont have D. provide data about the drugs which are false and misleading（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).To reduce the side effects of med

34、icine, a patient had better _. A. consult the doctor to adjust the doses safely B. stop taking the drug for a period of time C. change to a drug that has no side effects D. try a new treatment that is better for him（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.One thing that needs discussion is the problem of finger pointing in

35、 reading an article. Many people consider it to be a very bad habit. Teachers in preschools or kindergartens are continually faced with children whose finger is planted firmly under the words they are learning to read. Children seem to feel that with their finger, they can more easily guide their ey

36、es to the part of the page they wish to read.Many teachers discourage this, however, insisting that the child take his finger off the page and “read properly. “ Why? The answer is not clear. I have asked a number of teachers (and teachers of teachers) and the answer usually is that the finger “slows

37、 the child down. “ This may be true if the child feels safe with his finger under a word and does not wish to move on to the next word. But it is not a perfect answer. For surely if the finger is placed on the book by the child because it helps his eyes, and if the teacher feels that the actual plac

38、ing of the finger slows the child down, then the answer is not to tell the child to take his finger off the page, but to tell him to speed it up.If you happen to be a finger-pointer, dont be too worried-it is a natural habit and, if used properly, may lead to a great increase in reading speed. To be

39、gin with, you may find difficulty in speeding up your finger, because you will have become used to a certain rhythm and speed, but if you keep on, solid gains should not be too far away.（分数：10.00）(1).The passage is concerned primarily with _. A. relationships between teachers and preschool children

40、B. reading speed and comprehension C. the problem of finger pointing in reading an article D. how to get rid of bad habits in reading（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The reason many teachers discourage finger pointing is that _. A. the finger may probably take the childs attention away B. finger pointing may sl

41、ow down a childs reading speed C. finger pointing prevents a child from understanding properly D. the finger covers some words the child is going to read（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Children who are finger-pointers _. A. use their fingers as a guide of their eyes while reading B. realize that finger-pointin

42、g is a bad habit but cant help doing so C. are usually careless and very slow language readers D. do not know where to put their fingers if not placing them under words（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The attitude of the writer towards finger-pointing in reading is _. A. negative B. positive C. active D. passiv

43、e（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).According to the passage, finger-pointing in reading _. A. slows reading down B. speeds reading up C. is a bad habit D. is a natural habit（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.The BBC was the first authority in the world to provide a public television service, which began in 1936. During the war tr

44、ansmissions ceased, but were resumed in 1964. Viewers are now able to watch television for many hours a day, if they have time and inclination (爱好). Moreover, viewers now have four channels at their disposal (配置). In 1955 the Independent Broadcasting Authority opened a television service and in 1982

45、 a second independent service came into operation. The BBC provides two channels. The viewing hours have also been extended with the introduction of breakfast television by both the BBC and the Independent Broadcasting Authority. Advertisers buy time for advertising (广告) on the Independent Televisio

46、n, but the amount of time devoted to advertising is small; it is strictly limited by the special Act that allowed commercial television. Viewers of any of the programs can watch plays, live transmissions of important events, sports and athletics, interviews with famous people, musical performances a

47、nd many other items. Films are often televised, and many of them are made specially for television. The cinema industry is jealous (嫉妒的) of television, and understandably keeps new films for showing in cinemas; nevertheless, TV occasionally screens a new one. Television has attracted many people awa

48、y from the cinema and, in recent years, many cinemas have had to close. A frequent criticism of TV programs is that they too often feature violence and gunplay. On the other hand, it must be said that many serious and instructive matters are presented.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following expresses the main idea of the article? A. TV channels in Britain. B. Independent TV service in Britain. C. TV programs of the BBC D. British TV and its influence.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Viewers are now able to watch television for _ in Bri
