Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 34 The word health can be used in a number of ways

21、. In the past, health meant only the absence of disease or illness. Today, though, health has a broader meaning. Health is the state of your well-being that includes how you feel physically, mentally, and socially. Wellness is another term that describes this broader view of health. You can understa

22、nd the need for a broader definition if you think about how health in your life is different from health in your grandparents lives. In 1900, the main causes of death were diseases that were spread by bacteria (细菌 ) and viruses (病毒 ). If you had lived then, the danger of your dying from pneumonia (肺

23、炎 ) would have been three times greater than the danger of your dying from cancer. The diseases that were most common in 1900 affected people of all ages. It is not surprising, then that around 1900, the emphasis of health was on freedom from illness. Today many of the diseases that were common in 1

24、900 can be prevented or cured by improved medicines and methods of sanitation (卫生 ). Most diseases now are likely to occur later in life. You as a teenager will probably not have to think about the same threats to your health as your grandparents did. These improvements in health conditions mean tha

25、t not only can you now enjoy a better life, but you also have a greater chance of having a longer life. Controlling diseases has in-creased the life expectancy in the United States. Generally, people born more recently have higher life expectancies. Since 1900, the life expectancy in the United Stat

26、es has increased by more than 27 years. It has increased from 47 years for those born in 1900 to 74 years 1981. 35 According to Paragraph 1, health and wellness_. （ A） can be used interchangeably on all occasions （ B） are different in that the latter has a broader sense （ C） had the same meaning in

27、the past （ D） both refer to the state of your well-being 36 Which of the following statements is true? （ A） Diseases caused by bacteria and viruses were incurable in 1900. （ B） Bacteria and viruses are the main causes of death today. （ C） Medicines for curing pneumonia were not available in 1900. （

28、D） Pneumonia caused as many deaths in 1900 as cancer does today. 37 “Life expectancy“in the last paragraph most probably means_. （ A） the kind of life that a person may expect to live （ B） the mode of life that a group of people have lived （ C） the length of time that a person or an animal has lived

29、 （ D） the length of time that people may expect to live 38 On an average, people in America who were born in 1900_. （ A） had a life-span of 74 years （ B） lived a shorter but better life than those born later （ C） lived to 47 years of age （ D） lived 27 years longer than those born in 1981 39 The inte

30、nded readers of the passage are_. （ A） teenagers （ B） the diseased （ C） adults （ D） aged people 39 Every body gets sick. Disease and injury make us suffer throughout our lives until, finally, some attack on the body brings our existence to an end. Fortunately, most of us in modern industrialized soc

31、ieties can take relatively good health for granted most of the time. In fact, we tend to fully realize the importance of good health only when we or those close to us become seriously ill. At such times we keenly appreciate the ancient truth that health is our most precious asset, one for which we m

32、ight readily give up such rewards as power, wealth, or fame (荣誉 ). Because ill health is a universal problem, affecting both the individual and society, the human response to sickness is always socially organized. No society leaves the responsibility for maintaining health and treating ill health en

33、tirely to the individual. Each society develops its own concepts of health and sickness and authorizes certain people to decide who is sick and how the sick should be treated. Around this focus there arises, over time, a number of standards, values, groups, statuses, and roles: in other words, an in

34、stitution (体系 ,机构 ). To the sociologist (社会学家 ) , then, medicine is the institution concerned with the maintenance of health and treatment of disease. In the simplest pre-industrial societies, medicine is usually an aspect of religion. The social arrangements for dealing with sickness are very eleme

35、ntary, often involving only two roles: the sick and the healer (治疗者 ). The latter is typically also the priest (牧师 ), who relies primarily on religious ceremonies, both to identify and to treat disease; for example, bones may be thrown to establish a cause, songs may be used to bring about a cure. I

36、n modern industrialized societies, on the other hand, the institution has become highly complicated and specialized, including dozens of roles such as those of brain surgeon, druggist, hospital administrator, linked with various organizations such as nursing homes, insurance companies, and medical s

37、chools. Medicine, in fact, has become the subject of intense sociological interest precisely because it is now one of the most pervasive and costly institutions of modern society. 40 Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 1? （ A） Nowadays most people believe they can have f

38、airly good health. （ B） Human life involves a great deal of pain and suffering. （ C） Most of us are aware of the full value of health. （ D） Ancient people believed that health was more expensive than anything else. 41 The word “authorize“ in Paragraph 2 means “_“. （ A） make way for （ B） give power t

39、o （ C） write an order for （ D） make it possible for 42 In Paragraph 2, we learn that the sociologist regards medicine as_. （ A） a system whose purpose is to treat disease and keep people healthy （ B） a universal problem that affects every society （ C） a social responsibility to treat ill health （ D）

40、 a science that focuses on the treatment of disease 43 According to Paragraph 3, which of the following is NOT true? （ A） In the past, bones might be used to decide why people fell ill. （ B） In pre-industrial societies priests sometimes treated patients by singing. （ C） Modern medicine is so complic

41、ated that sociology no longer has a place in it. （ D） There were only two roles in an elementary medical system, the patient and the one who tried to cure him. 44 The author of this passage is mainly concerned with_. （ A） sociological aspects in medicine （ B） medical treatment of diseases （ C） the d
