22、in the traditional schools of London, Parisand Edinburgh. Medicine was first taught formally by specialists at the University of Pennsylvania, beginning in 1765, and in 1767 at Kings College (now Columbia University), the first institution in the colonies to give the degree of doctor of medicine.Fol

23、lowing the American Revolution, the Columbia medical faculty (formerly of Kings College) was combined with the College of Physicians and Surgeons, chartered in 1809, which survives as a division of Columbia University.In 1893 the Johns Hopkins Medical School required all applicants to have a college

The growth of medical schools attached with established institutions of learning went together with the development of proprietary (私营的) schools of medicine run for personal p

25、rofit, most of which had 10W standards and poor facilities. In 1910 Abraham Flexner, the American education reformer, wrote Medical Education in the United States and Canada, exposing the poor conditions of most proprietary schools. Subsequently, the American Medical Association (AMA) and the Associ

26、ation of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) laid down standards for course content, qualifications of teachers, laboratory facilities, connection with teaching hospitals and licensing of medical practitioners (开业医师) that survive to this day.By the late 1980s the US and Canada had 142 4-year medical co

32、it by CancerDeath rates for cancer are falling for all Americans, but black Americans are still more likely to die of cancer than whites, the American Cancer Society said MondayIn a special report on cancer and blacks, the organization said blacks are usually diagnosed with cancer later than whites,

33、 and they are more likely to die of the disease. This could be because of unequal (不平等的) access to medical care, because blacks are more likely to have other diseases as well, and perhaps because of differences in the biology (生物学) of the cancer itself, the report added.“In general, black Americans

34、have less hope of surviving five years after diagnosis than whites for all cancer sites and all stages of diagnosis,“ the report said.“In describing cancer statistics for black Americans, this report recognizes that many of the differences associated with race may be caused by unfair social and econ

35、omic differences and unequal access to medical care.“The cancer society said blacks should be encouraged to get check-ups (体格检查) earlier, when cancer is more treatable, and it said more research is needed to see if biological differences play a role.“The new statistics emphasize the continuing impor

36、tance of wiping out these unfair social differences through public policy and education efforts,“ the organization said in a statement.But it also noted a drop in cancer death rates.“Cancer death rates in both sexes for all sites combined have dropped greatly among black Americans since 1992, as hav

40、y Is UpThink of a modem city and the first image that come to mind is the skyline. It is full of great buildings, pointing like fingers to heaven. It is true that some cities dont permit buildings to go above a certain height. But these are cities concerned with the past. The first thing any city do

41、es when it wants to tell the world that it has arrived is to build skyscrapers.When people gather together in cities, they create a demand for land. Since cities are places where money is made, that demand can be met. And the best way to make money out of city land is to put as many people as possib

42、le in a space that covers the smallest amount of ground. That means building upwards.The technology existed to do this as early as the 19th century. But the height of buildings was limited by one important factor. They had to be small enough for people on the top floors to climb stairs. People could

43、 not be expected to climb a mountain at the end of their journey to work, or home.Elisha Otis, a US inventor, was the man who brought us the lift-or elevator, as he preferred to call it. However, most of the technology is very old. Lifts work using the same pulley system the Egyptians used to create

44、 the Pyramids. What Otis did was attach the system to a steam engine and develop the elevator brake, which stops the lift falling if the cords that hold it up are broken. It was this that did the most to gain public confidence in the new invention. In fact, he spent a number of years exhibiting lift

45、s at fairgrounds, giving people the chance to try them out before selling the idea to architects and builders.A lift would not be a very good theme park attraction now. Going in a lift is such an everyday thing that it would just be boring. Yet psychologists and others who study human behavior find

46、lifts fascinating. The reason is simple. Scientists have always studied animals in zoos. The nearest they can get to that with humans is in observing them in lifts.“It breaks all the usual conventions about the bubble of personal space we carry around with us-and you just cant choose to move away,“

47、says workplace psychologist, Gary Fitzgibbon. Being trapped in this setting can create different types of tensions, he says. Some people are scared of them. Others use them as an opportunity to get close to the boss. Some stand close to the door. Others hide in the comers. Most people try and shrink

48、 into the background. But some behave in a way that makes others notice them. There are a few people who just stand in a comer taking notes.Dont worry about them. They fire probably from a university.（分数：15.00）(1).“.these are cities concerned with the past“ in the first paragraph refer to cities that_.（分数：3.00）A.are worried about their pastB.have a glorious past to be proud ofC.want to maintain their traditional imageD.are very interested in their own history(2).The difficulty in constructing tall buildings in the 19th century lies in_.（分数：3.00）A.the shortage of moneyB.the lack
