This is the region hardest hit by the (34) one of the biggest reasons for these gains against the killer infection is the
17、increased use of special insect nets. This (35) solution can reduce child deaths by as much as 20 percent. The (36) says the number of children using the insecticide- treated (37) has tripled since 2000. According to U.N.ICEFs Executive Director Ann Veneman, controlling malaria is vital (38) improvi

22、ing to show that, whoever is to blame and whatever happens from now on, high unemployment is probably here to stay. This means we shall have to make ways of sharing the available employment more widely. But we need to go further. We must ask some primary questions about the future of work. Would we
23、continue to treat employment as the norm? Would we not rather encourage many other ways for self-respecting people to work? Should we not create conditions in which many of us can work for ourselves, rather than for an employer? Should we not aim to revive the household and the neighborhood, as well
24、 as the factory and the office, as centers of production and work? The industrial age has been the only period of human history during which most peoples work has taken the form of jobs. The industrial age may now be coming to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought may hav
25、e to be reversed. This seems a daunting thought. But, in fact, it could provide the prospect of a better future for work. Universal employment, as its history shows, has not meant economic freedom. Employment became widespread when the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries made many people depen
26、dent on paid work by depriving them of the use of the land, and thus of the means to provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from peoples homes. Later, as transportation improved, first by rail and then by road, people commuted longe
27、r distances to their places of employment until, eventually, many peoples work lost all connection with their home lives and the place in which they hived. Meanwhile, employment put women at a disadvantage. In pre-industrial time, men and women had shared the productive work of the household and vil
28、lage community. Now it became a custom for the husband to go out to be paid through employment, leaving the unpaid work of the home and family to his wife. Tax and benefit regulations still assume this norm today and restrict more flexible sharing of work roles between the sexes. It was not only wom
29、en whose work status suffered. As employment became the dominant form of work, young people and old people were excluded a problem now, as more teenagers become frustrated at school and more retired people want to live active lives. All this may now have to change. The time has certainly come to swi
30、tch some effort and resources away from the idealist goal of creating jobs for all, to the urgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full time jobs. 51 Research carried out in the recent opinion polls shows that_. （ A） available employment should be restricted to a small percent
31、age of the population. （ B） new jobs must be created in order to rectify high unemployment figures. （ C） available employment must be more widely distributed among the unemployed. （ D） the nowaday high unemployment figures are a truth of life. 52 The arrival of the industrial age in our historical e
32、volution meant that_. （ A） universal employment virtually guaranteed prosperity. （ B） economic freedom came within everyones control. （ C） patterns of work were fundamentally changed. （ D） peoples attitudes to work had to be reversed. 53 The enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries meant that_. （ A
33、） people were no longer legally entitled to own land. （ B） people were driven to look elsewhere for means of supporting themselves. （ C） people were not adequately compensated for the loss of their land. （ D） people were badly paid for the work they managed to find. 54 The effects of almost universa
34、l employment were overwhelming in that_. （ A） the household and village community disappeared completely. （ B） men now travelled enormous distances to their places of work. （ C） young and old people became superfluous components of society. （ D） the work status of those not in paid employment suffer
35、ed. 55 The article concludes that_. （ A） the creation of jobs for all is an impossibility. （ B） our efforts and resources in terms of tackling unemployment are insufficient. （ C） people should begin supporting themselves by learning a practical skill. （ D） we should help those whose jobs are only pa
36、rt-time. 56 Watching shiatsu being performed on a friend of mine reminded me of a demonstration of the deep massage technique, “rolfing“, in which the patient is kneaded and twisted with knuckles and elbows. Rolling had been likened to torture, so when it was offered to me I made my excuses. Yet the
37、 shiatsu treatment, Manning though it looked, with the patient lying down as the operator prodded pressure points, wets clearly not painful, apart from an occasionally twinge. Indeed, for most of the hour-long session, the patient was patently relaxed and enjoying it. Shiatsu is a spin-off from acup
38、ressure, itself a spin-off from acupuncture. The traditional “meridians“ (or channels of life energy) are used, as are the traditional points on these channels all over the body, but a thumb, knuckle, or even an elbow, is used instead of a needle. In Japan, as in China, acupressure has long been a f
39、amily first-aid affair, with parents teaching children and children in due course treating grandparents. But about 50 years ago, in Japan, shiatsu began to acquire professional status, and there are now thousands of full-time practitioners. The theory is still basically the same: that all of us have
40、 these channels along which chi, the life energy, flows; and that if one of these pressures, on the points indicated-ascertained either by pulse-taking, or by training, experience and hunch can start the energy moving again; the blockage will be removed and the symptoms will disappear. Not that it i
41、s essential to accept the full oriental theory to accept shiatsu. That pain in one part of the body can sometimes be removed by pressure on another part has long been known in orthodox Western circles. So, for that matter, has the ability of acupuncture to relieve pain though the acupuncture was of
42、a different kind. But with the march of medical science, pressure points and acupuncture, British-style, faded out; and now that they are being restored to popularity, they are for the most part provided by medically unqualified practitioners. To try to describe shiatsu is futile; it has to be exper
43、ienced. But the aim is to relax mind and body together in fact they are treated as one. If there is an occasional twinge, it is deemed to be necessary to break down a barrier; and patients often grope for words to express the feeling that the pain has in a way been pleasurable. Although the aim is r
44、elaxation, paradoxically the effect may be arousal. Some people may feel in the mood for sleep; but for others, the removal of muscular and emotional tensions actually makes them feel pepped up. And they come back for more either when they feel the need has arisen, or at regular intervals as a form
45、of preventive therapy. 56 While observing a demonstration of shiatsu, the writer realized_. （ A） that the shiatsu treatment takes much longer than miring. （ B） that both shiatsu and rolling could cause severe discomfort. （ C） that the whole process could be most alarming. （ D） that the whole process
46、 could be a pleasant experience. 57 Shiatsu differs from acupuncture in that_. （ A） pressure is applied to different meridians all over the body. （ B） no pressure is applied to the traditional meridians of the body. （ C） pressure is applied to the meridians of the body using different methods. （ D）
47、pressure is applied only to the thumb, knuckle and elbow areas of the body. 58 The theory behind shiatsu is that ailments can be cured by_. （ A） the removal of a blockage in one of the life-energy channels. （ B） the discovery of the number of life-energy channels in the body. （ C） teaching people to
48、 be able to diagnose their own treatment. （ D） encourage people to prevent a blockage occurring in a life-energy channel. 59 In the West, acupuncture_. （ A） has never been recognized as a serious medical treatment. （ B） has been totally ignored by Western medical circles. （ C） is now gaining popular
49、ity as an alternative medical treatment. （ D） is now becoming a popular study for qualified practitioner. 60 Although the aim of shiatsu is to relax the mind and body together_. （ A） the occasional twinge of pain often prevents this from happening. （ B） some people find that tile experience makes them more tense. （ C） some people experience renewed vigor when their treatment is effective. （ D） a compulsive desire to look for other forms of treatment often occurs. 61 World leaders met recently at United Nations headqu
