Later he used sharp bone or horn, metal knives
19、and more recently, rubber and plastic. And that was where we stuck, in surgical instrument terms, for many years. In the 1960s a new tool was developed, one which was, first of all, to be of great practical use to the armed forces and industry, but which was also, in time, to revolutionize the art a
20、nd science of surgery.The tool is the laser and it is being used by more and more surgeons all over the world, for a very large number of different complaints. The word laser means: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Light. As we all know, light is hot; any source of light from the sun it
21、self down to a humble match burning will give warmth. But light is usually spread out over a wide area. The light in a laser beam, however, is concentrated. This means that a light with no more power than that produced by an ordinary electric light bulb becomes intensely strong as it is concentrated
22、 to a pinpoint-sized beam.Experiments with these pinpoint beams showed researchers that different energy sources produce beams that have a particular effect on certain living cells. It is now possible for eye surgeons to operate on the back of the human eye without harming the front of the eye, simp
23、ly by passing a laser beam right through the eyeball. No knives, no stitches (刀口缝合), no unwanted damage a true surgical wonder.Operations which once left patients exhausted and in need of long periods of recovery time now leave them feeling relaxed and comfortable. So much more difficult operations
24、can now be tried.The rapid development of laser techniques in the past ten years has made it clear that the future is likely to be very exciting. Perhaps some cancers will be treated with laser in a way that makes surgery not only safer but more effective. Altogether, tomorrow may see more and more
25、information coming to light on the diseases which can be treated medically.（分数：10.00）(1).Up until the 1960s the instruments used to perform surgical operations were _.A. fashionable B. extraordinary C. special D. basic（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).After the development of the laser in the 1960s, we find that
26、 _.A. medical help became available for industrial workers.B. the study of art went through a complete revolution.C. more and more surgeons began using surgical instruments.D. mans whole approach to surgery changed completely（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The laser beam is so strong because _.A. it is compose
27、d of a concentrated beam of lightB. its heat is increased by the heat of the sunC. it can be plugged into an ordinary light fittingD. it sends out heat in many different directions（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Surgeons can now carry out operations which _.A. can be performed successfully only on the human ey
28、eB. result in long periods of recovery time for patientsC. are made much more complicated by using the laser beamD. result in very little damage to the patients themselves（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The rapid development of laser techniques has meant that _.A. in another ten years we shall be able to cure
29、cancerB. surgery is likely to improve considerablyC. we shall be able to treat all the diseases we suffer fromD. we are now able to treat most forms of cancer（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.四、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：6.00)Researchers have studied the poor as individuals, as families and households, as members of poor
30、communities, neighborhoods and regions, as products of larger poverty-creating structures. They have been analyzed as victims of crime and criminals, as members of minority cultures, as passive consumers of mass culture and active producers of a “counterculture“, as an economic burden and as a reser
31、ve army of laborto mention just some of the preoccupations of poverty research.The elites, who occupy the small upper stratum within the category of the non-poor, and their functions in the emergence and reproduction of poverty are as interesting and important an object for poverty research as the p
32、oor themselves. The elites have images of the poor and of poverty which shape their decisions and actions. So far, little is known about those images, except as they are sketchily portrayed in popular stereotypes. The elites may well ignore or deny the external effects of their own actions(and omiss
33、ions) upon the living conditions of the poor. Many social scientists may take a very different view. As poverty emerged and was reproduced, legal frameworks were created to contain the problems it caused with profound, and largely unknown, consequences for the poor themselves. In general, political,
34、 educational and social institutions tend to ignore or even damage the interests of the poor. In constructing a physical infrastructure for transport, industry, trade and tourism, the settlements of the poor are often the first to suffer or to be left standing and exposed to pollution, noise and cro
35、wding.Most important are the economic functions of poverty, as for lack of other options the poor are forced to perform activities considered degrading or unclean. The poor are more likely to buy second-hand goods and leftover foodstuffs, thus prolonging their economic utility. They are likely to us
36、e the services of low-quality doctors, teachers and lawyers whom the non-poor shy away from. Poverty and the poor serve an important symbolic function, in reminding citizens of the lot that may befall those who do not heed the values of thrift, diligence and cleanliness, and of the constant threat t
37、hat the rough, the immoral and the violent represent for the rest of society.Physically, the poor and the non-poor are kept apart, through differential land use and ghettoization. Socially, they are separated through differential participation in the labor market, the consumption economy, and in pol
38、itical, social and cultural institutions. Conceptually, they are divided through stereo- typing and media cliche. This separation is even more pronounced between the elites and the poor.（分数：6.00）(1).According to the author, studying the elites also sheds light on poverty research because _.A. they a
39、re also members of the same society as the poorB. they play an important role in creating and reproducing povertyC. solution of the poverty problem is at their mercyD. they know the living conditions of the poor better than other groups（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.(2).While social scientists are devoting much o
40、f their effort to poverty research, _.A. not enough legal frameworks have been created to relieve the condition of the poorB. they have done little to actually provide relief programs for the poorC. they ignore the role of the elites as an object for poverty researchD. the poor people themselves do
41、not much appreciate such effort（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.(3).In the eyes of the society, _.A. the poor tend to symbolize what lazy and evil people mm out to beB. the poor are not worthy of the sympathy the society shows themC. economic prejudice is more of an obstacle to the solution of povertyD. the non-poo
42、r should show more sympathy for the poor（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.(4).The word “pronounced“ in the last sentence of the passage probably means _.A. sympathetic B. conspicuousC. identifiable D. unbridgeable（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.(5).In the passage, the author is mainly concerned with _.A. analyzing a problem B. pro
43、viding a solutionC. defining a situation D. outlining a proposal（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.五、Passage Three(总题数：2，分数：10.00)By far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regul
44、ar routine of study. Many students muddle along, doing a hit of this subject or that, as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.Few students work to a set time-table. They say that if they did construct a timetable for themselves they would not keep to
45、it, or would have to alter it constantly, since they can never predict from one day to the next what their activities will be. No doubt some temperaments take much more kindly to a regular routine than others. There are many who shy away from the self-regimentatign of a weekly time-table, and dislik
46、e being tied clown to a definite programme of work. Many able students claim that they work in cycles. When they become interested in a topic they work on it intensively for three or four days at a time. On other days they avoid work completely. It has to be confessed that we do not fully understand
47、 the complexities of the motivation to work. Most people over 25 years of age have become conditioned to a work routine, and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important aspects of their work. The “tough-minded“ school of workers is usually very contemptuo
48、us of the idea that good work can only be done spontaneously, under the influence of inspiration.Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom“. Freedom from restraint and discipline leads to u
49、nhappiness rather than to “self-expression“ or “personality development“. Our society insists on regular habits, timekeeping and punctuality, and whether we like it or not, if we mean to make our way in society we have to comply with its demands.（分数：4.00）(1).The most widespread problem in applying oneself to study is th
