Their friendshi
18、ps, however, tend to be shorter and more casual than friendships among people from other cultures. It is not uncommon for Americans to have only one close friend during their lifetime, and consider other “friends“ to be just social acquaintances. This attitude probably has something to do with Ameri
19、can mobility and the fact that Americans do not like to be dependent on other people. They tend to “compartmentalize“ (划分 ) friendships, having “friends at work“, “friends on the softball team“, “family friends“, etc Because the United States is a highly active society, full of movement and change,
20、people always seem to be on the go. In this highly charged atmosphere, Americans can sometimes seem brusque (无礼的 ) or impatient. They want to get to know you as quickly as possible and then move on to something else. Sometimes, early on, they will ask you questions that you may feel are very persona
21、l. No insult is intended; the questions usually grow out of their genuine interest or curiosity, and their impatience to get to the heart of the matter. And the same goes for you. If you do not understand certain American behavior or you want to know more about them, do not hesitate to ask them ques
22、tions about themselves. Americans are usually eager to explain all about their country or anything “American“ in which you may be interested. So much so in fact that you may become tired of listening. It doesnt matter because Americans tend to be uncomfortable with silence during a conversation. The
23、y would rather talk about the weather or the latest sports scores, for example, than deal with silence. On the other hand, dont expect Americans to be knowledgeable about international geography or world affairs, unless those subjects directly involve the United States. Because the United States is
24、not surrounded by many other nations, some Americans tend to ignore the rest of the world. 31 The general topic of the passage is_. （ A） American culture （ B） American society （ C） Americans activities （ D） Americans personality 32 Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passa
25、ge? （ A） Americans do not like to depend on other people. （ B） Friendships among Americans tend to be casual. （ C） Americans know a lot about international affairs. （ D） Americans always seem to be on the go. 33 The phrase “highly charged“ (paragraph 2) most probably means_. （ A） extremely free （ B）
26、 highly responsible （ C） very cheerful （ D） full of mobility and change 34 It can be inferred from the passage that_. （ A） Americans want to participate in all kinds of activities （ B） Americans character is affected by their social and geographical environments （ C） Americans do not know how to dea
27、l with silence （ D） Curiosity is characteristic of Americans 35 According to the passage, Americans tend to ignore the rest of the world because_. （ A） they are not interested in other countries （ B） they are too proud of themselves （ C） their country does not have many neighboring nations （ D） they
28、 are too busy to learn about other countries 36 Want a glimpse of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the various networks of people involved in patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient no matte
29、r where he or she may be. Online doctors offering advice based on standardized symptoms are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis (telemedicine) will be based on real physiological data from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by usi
30、ng an off-the-shelf (现成的 ) PDA (personal data assistance) such as a Palm Pilot plus a mobile phone, it is perfectly feasible to transmit a patients vital signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment in a first-aid kit (急救包 ), the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well
31、 be a thing of the past. Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster responseespecially after earthquakes. Overall, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and expertis
32、e. But there is one problem. Bandwidth is the limiting factor for transmitting complex medical images around the world CT scans being one of the biggest bandwidth consumers. Communications satellites may be able to cope with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes, wars or famines.
33、 But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and third-generation mobile phones for the future of distributed medical intelligence. Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communica
34、tions, the new technologies should usher in (迎来 ) an era when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, expert opinion and diagnosis are common. 36 The basis of remote diagnosis will be_. （ A） standardized symptoms of a patient （ B） personal data assistance （ C） transmitted complex medica
35、l images （ D） real physiological data from a patient 37 The sentence “the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past“ means_. （ A） now people probably would not ask if there is a doctor in the house （ B） patients used to cry and ask if there was a doctor in
36、the house （ C） in the past people often cried and asked if there was a doctor in the house （ D） patients are now still asking if there is a doctor in the house 38 All the following statements are true EXCEPT that_. （ A） it is now feasible to transmit a patients vital signs over telephone （ B） flood
37、is not among the disasters mentioned in the passage （ C） the trend in applying telemedicine is toward providing global access to medical data （ D） telemedicine is being used by many medical teams as a tool for disaster response 39 The word “problem“ in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that_.

39、sters 40 A proper title for the passage may be_. （ A） Improvement in Communications （ B） The Online Doctor Is In （ C） Application of Telemedicine （ D） How to Make Remote Diagnosis 41 Pictures in the British papers this week of Prince William, Prince Charless 18-year-old son, cleaning toilets oversea
40、s, have led to a surge of altruism (利他主义 ). Raleigh International, the charity that organized his trip, has seen inquiries about voluntary work abroad rise by 30%. But the image of idealistic youth that William presents no longer reflects the reality of the volunteer force. Its getting older and old
41、er. Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) has about 2,000 volunteers in the field around the world. After a dip in interest in the mid-1990s, applications to work abroad are at record levels. Last year 7, 645 people submitted applications, and 920 successfully negotiated the VSO selection process and wer
42、e sent abroad. When the organization was founded in 1959, the average volunteer was in his early 20s. Now, the average age is 35, and set to rise further. Partly, that is because there are more older people who want to do VSO. More people take early retirement; more, says the chief executive of VSO,
43、 “still feel that they have more to give and are in good health“. And the demands of the African and Asian countries where most of the volunteers go are changing, too. Their educational standards have risen over the past couple of decades, so they want people with more qualifications, skills and exp
44、erience. BESO (British Executive Service Overseas) recruits executives and businessmen with at least 15 years experience for short-term contract work overseas. It organizes 500 placements (工作安置 ) a year, and at the moment supply is surpassing demand. A BESO spokesman said that the organization is “l
45、imited by funding rather than a lack of volunteers“. Enthusiastic but unqualified students do not impress as much as they once did alongside accountants, managers and doctors. The typical volunteer, these days, has been in full-time employment for at least five years and is highly qualified. And the
46、 profession which provides the biggest portion of volunteers is education headmasters and school inspectors as well as classroom teachers. 41 According to the passage, the volunteers_. （ A） are getting older and older （ B） are becoming fewer （ C） are inexperienced and unqualified （ D） are mostly stu

49、d in the early 1990s than in the late 1990s 44 There are more older people who want to do VSO because_. . more people take early retirement . more older people feel they are in good health . the foreign countries where the volunteers go want people with more qualifications, skills and experience （ A） only （ B） only （ C） , and （ D） and 45 According to the last paragraph, the typical volunteer now may be_. （ A
