9、ER SHEET 1. 30 “How are you keeping?“ “Look (31)_ yourself. “ “Good Health. “ “Heres your health. “ “Health, wealth and happiness. “ “If youre healthy, youre (32)_. “ Its amazing how many greetings, wishes and general expressions turn on health. Health is something healthy people hardly ever think a
10、bout (33)_theyre (34)_. When that happens they think about little else. Then their visits to the doctor, the hospital; if theyre really unwell, medicines, pills, bottles, ointments, injections, having their temperature taken, and the worry (35) expense. Well, (36)_least in Britain the last part isnt
11、 too bad under the National Health Service. This is a Government-enforced scheme whereby everyone pays in a small percentage of their earnings each week (37)_month, and is then entitled to free medical treatment when they are ill. This doesnt include medicines, which have to be paid (38)_, but at a
12、considerably reduced rate. Everybody (39)_ Britain is advised (40)_ have a local doctor. When a person moves (41) a district, one of the first things they do is to find a (42) _doctor and get on his list or panel. There (43)_lists of NHS doctors in the local post offices and everybody has a (44)_car
13、d. Most British (45)_are already registered with a doctor and moving into a new district entails no more than finding a new doctor and transferring (46)_ his panel.

15、 texts and answer the questions which accompany them by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 50 It is almost 15 years since I first tested a mobile phone. I was covering the Live Aid concert at Wembley and it was a fiasco. My newspaper was trying a huge two-piece machine: a ha
16、ndset on a cradle, which went on one shoulder, and a power pack almost the weight of a car battery, which went on the other. The total talk time was 30 minutes and the phone cost several thousand pounds. Oh, and it was barely possible to get a signal. Those of us with this Herculean model greatly en
17、vied our slicker colleagues who were trying out an American Motorola phone. Not only did it work for up to an hour, it also looked like a housebrick. What is fascinating is that, after a long period in the social and stylistic doldrums, mobile phones or cellular radios as they should really be calle
18、d are becoming fashionable again. The new Ericsson mobile phone has been acclaimed these past few days by everyone who eyes it as one of the coolest objects of all time. It is pretty much the size of a credit card and the thickness of a chocolate bar. It vibrates discreetly when someone calls and it
19、 even recognises the owners voice, so dialing someone is as simple as saying their name. Phones have become like cars: all levels in society have them, but there are cars and there are CARS. Phones like that shiny, chrome Nokia that was all the rage a few months ago, or the Bounty bar-sized Motorola
20、 and the slim new Ericsson are the glossy, understated Audi A4s of mobiles; perilously close to being fashion items. Wrist-watch phones could be next years big thing but the more important and less flashy development will be the emergence of the first web-browsing phones. These will make it possible
21、 both to speak and surf the Internet and to deal with e-mails in a bar, on the train or wherever. Another big development which will take off in the next few months concerns not the phones so much as the kind of enhanced services available through them. While the ultra-thin Ericsson has a voice-dial
22、ling system, theres still a limit to the fancy stuff you can cram into a breastpocket telephone. Theres no such limit, however, to what the mainframe computers at mobile phone companies can do. 51 The word “fiasco“ (para. 1) most probably means_. （ A） a great surprise （ B） an unpleasant event （ C） a
23、 wonderful thing （ D） a stiff competition 52 Which of the following is NOT true of the new Ericsson mobile phone? （ A） It is very small. （ B） It vibrates gently. （ C） It can connect you to someone if you just say his phone number. （ D） It can recognize the caller through his voice. 53 Which of the f
24、ollowing can be inferred about Audi A4 cars? （ A） They are equipped with mobile phones. （ B） They are available to all levels of society. （ C） They are very fashionable. （ D） They will soon be replaced by newer models. 54 According to the passage, what is the drawback of breast pocket phones? （ A） T
25、hey are fragile and easily damaged. （ B） The information stored is limited. （ C） They are not popular with business people. （ D） Few people can afford them. 55 All of the following products are expected to come out in the future EXCEPT_. （ A） wrist-watch phones （ B） web-browsing phones （ C） phones c
26、onnected to computers （ D） voice-dialling phones 55 It was a cold, rainy and wholly miserable afternoon in Washington, and a hot muggy night in Miami. It was Sunday, and three games were played in the two cities. The people playing them and the people watching them tell us much about the ever-changi
27、ng ethnic structure of the United States. American males are more addicted to sports than females are, but not by a huge margin. Females are more addicted to the theatre and concert halls than males are, but not by a huge margin. In our electronic age, addicts and experts alike can be couch potatoes
28、, enjoying their entertainments from the comfort of home. Tree fans get off their butts and go. The three games in the two cities on that miserable Sunday afternoon had respective attendances of 75, 061, 67, 204 and 57, 318. The biggest crowd watched professional football, in which the Washington Re
29、dskins were beaten by the Baltimore Ravens. The crowds sat in the cold and rain, and most of them endured the weather to the bitter end because the outcome of the game was in doubt. Professional football in the United States is almost wholly played by native-born American citizens, mostly very large
30、 and very strong, many of them black. It is a game of physical strength. Linemen routinely weigh more than 300 pounds. Players are valued for their weight and muscles, for how fast they can run, and how hard they can hit each other. Football draws the biggest crowds, but the teams play only once a w
31、eek, because they get so battered. The 67, 204 fans were in Miami for the final game of the baseball World Series. Baseball was once Americas favourite game, but has lost that claim to basketball. The 1997 World Series was much reviled in the news media of the largest cities, mostly because they had
32、 been shut out of it. NBC, which broadcast the Series, wished loudly that it hadnt. Despite all the bad press, every game was sold out and double the tickets could have been sold had the stadiums accommodated more people. Baseball is a game that requires strength, but not hugeness. Agility, quicknes
33、s, perfect vision and quick reaction are more important than pure strength. Baseball was once a purely American game, but has spread around much of the New World. In that Sundays finale, the final hit of the extra inning game was delivered by a native of Columbia. The Most Valuable Player in the gam
34、e was a native of Cuba. The rosters of both teams were awash with Hispanic names, as is Miami, which now claims the World Championship is a game that may be losing popularity in America, but has gained it in much of the rest of the world. Baseball in A-merica has taken on a strong Hispanic flavor, w
35、ith a dash of Japanese added for seasoning. In soccer, the ethnic tide has been the reverse of baseballs. Until recently, professional soccer in the United States had largely been an import, played by south Americans and Europeans. Now, American citizens in large numbers are finally taking up the mo
36、st popular game in the world. Basketball, an American invention increasingly played around the world, these days draws large crowds back home. Likewise, hockey, a game largely imported to the United States from neighbouring Canada. Lacrosse, a version of which was played by Native Americans before t
37、he Europeans arrived, is also gaining a keen national following. Sports of all kinds are winning support from American armchair enthusiasts from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. 56 It can be inferred that the football game was played in _ on that Sunday afternoon. （ A） Washington （ B） Miami （ C） Bal
38、timore （ D） Colorado 57 What is “revile“(paragraph 4, sentence 3) most likely to mean? （ A） Praise. （ B） Expose. （ C） Abuse. （ D） Admire. 58 All of the following except_are very important in baseball. （ A） muscles （ B） quick reaction （ C） good eyesight （ D） agility 59 _is the most popular game in Am
39、erica. （ A） Football （ B） Baseball （ C） Basketball （ D） Soccer 60 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? （ A） Football teams play only once a week, because football players need time to recover from each match. （ B） The 1997 world series of baseball were reviled in news
40、media because the games are played in closed fields. （ C） Most of the players in baseball game played in Miami came from South America. （ D） Hocky was an American invention which has gained the popularity in the world. 60 Human relations have commanded peoples attention from early times. The ways of
41、 people have been recorded in innumerable myths, folk, tales, novels, poems, plays, and popular or philosophical essays. Although the full significance of a human relationship may not be directly evident, the complexity of feelings and actions that can be understood at a glance is surprisingly great
42、. For this reason psychology holds a unique position among the sciences. “Intuitive“ knowledge may be remarkably penetrating and can significantly help us under-stand human behavior, whereas in the physical sciences such commonsense knowledge is relatively primitive. If we erased all knowledge of sc
43、ientific physics from our modern world, not only would we not have cars and television sets, we might even find that the ordinary person was unable to cope with the fundamental mechanical problems of pulleys and levers. On the other hand, if we removed all knowledge of scientific psychology from our
44、 world, problems in interpersonal relations might easily be coped with and solved much as before. We would still “know“ how to avoid doing something asked of us and how to get someone to agree with us; we would still “know“ when someone was angry and when someone was pleased. One could even offer se
45、nsible explanations for the “whys“ of much of the selfs behavior and feelings. In other words, the ordinary person has a great and profound understanding of the self and of other people which, though unformulated or only vaguely conceived enables one to interact with others in more or less adaptive
46、ways. Khler, in referring to the lack of great discoveries in psychology as compared with physics, accounts for this by saying that “people were acquainted with practically all territories of mental life a long time before the founding of scientific psychology. “ Paradoxically, with all this natural
47、, intuitive, commonsense capacity to grasp human relations, the science of human relations has been one of the last to develop. Different explanations of this paradox have been suggested. One is that science would destroy the vain and pleasing illusions people have about themselves; but we might ask
48、 why people have always loved to read pessimistic, debunking writings, from Ecclesiastes to Freud. It has also been proposed that just because we know so much about people intuitively, there has been less incentive for studying them scientifically; why should one develop a theory, carry out systemat
49、ic observations, or make predictions about the obvious? In any case, the field of human relations, with its vast literary documentation but meager, scientific treatment, is in great contrast to the field of physics in which there are relatively few nonscientific books. 61 According to the passage, it has been suggested that the science of human relations was slow to develop because_. （ A） intuitive knowledge of human relations is derived from phi
