25、marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. 30 The Chinese have used a method called acupuncture (针灸 ) to perform operations for about 4,000 years without putting the patient to sleep. This involves placing flexible needle
26、s into certain parts of the body. The needles are available in a number of stores in China and anyone may buy them. To learn how to use the needles takes about one month of training. But to be skillful requires greater time. The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to put in the needles so
27、the needles themselves are not painful. This person also knows where to place the needles so the patient feels no pain in the area where the operation is to be performed. A particular operation might require 25 or more needles placed in various parts of the body. But now this operation requires only
28、 3 or 4 needles. Today, the Chinese doctors are trying to learn more about acupuncture. They are trying to develop a convincing theory to explain how the needles work in preventing pain, or why a needle in the wrist, for example, would prevent the pain in the area of the mouth. A patient who needs a
29、n operation is given a choice between having acupuncture or having one of the chemicals used for putting him to sleep. It has been estimated that over half of the patients choose acupuncture because there is no sickness after the operation because the chemical may make the patient sick for a few hou

34、rge companies need a way to reach me savings of the public at large. The same problem, on a smaller scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs. There can be little prospect of raising the sort of sum needed from friends and people we know, and while ban
35、ks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally unwilling to provide money on a permanent basis for long-term projects. So companies turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits. This they do by issui
36、ng stocks and shares in the business through the Stock Exchange. By doing so they can put into circulation the savings of individuals and institution, both at home and overseas. When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with which he originally placed it. Instead, he
37、 sells his shares through a stockbroker (证券经纪人 ) to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money. Many of the services need both by industry and by each of us are provided by the Government or by local authorities. Hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, equipment and new development, if t
38、hey are to serve us properly, require more money than is raised through taxes alone. The government, local authorities, and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange. There is hardly a man or woman i
39、n this country whose job or whose standard of living does not depend on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development. In one way or another this new money must come from the savings of the country. The Stock Exchange exists to provide a channel through which these sa
40、vings can reach those who need finance. 36 Almost all companies involved in new production and development must_. （ A） borrow large sums of money from friends and people they know （ B） rely on their own financial resources （ C） depend on the population as a whole for finance （ D） persuade the banks
41、to provide them with long-term finance 37 The Stock Exchange makes it possible for the Government, local authorities and nationalized industries_. （ A） to raise money to finance new development （ B） to borrow as much money as they wish （ C） to make certain everybody lend money to them （ D） to make c
42、ertain everybody save money 38 The money which enables these companies to go ahead with their projects is_. （ A） exchanged for part ownership in the Stock Exchange （ B） rapid to its original owners as soon as possible （ C） invested in different companies on the Stock Exchange （ D） raised by the sell
43、ing of shares in the companies 39 When the savers want their money back they_. （ A） put their shares in the company back on the market （ B） ask another company to obtain their money for them （ C） transfer their money to a more successful company （ D） look for other people to borrow money from 40 All
44、 the essential services on which we depend are_. （ A） financed wholly by taxes （ B） run by the Government or our local authorities （ C） unable to provide for the needs of the population （ D） in constant need of financial support 40 At some time in your life you may have a strong desire to do somethi
45、ng strange or terrible. However, chances are that you dont act on your impulse, but let it pass instead. You know that to commit the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of the behavior is how it can
46、change over the years within the same society, how certain behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death, for example, were once considered so upsetting and unpleasant that it was a taboo to even talk about the
47、m. Now with the publication of important books such as “On Death and Dying“ and “Learning to Say Goodbye“ , people have become more aware of the importance of expressing feelings about death and, as a result, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject. One of the newest taboos in American soc
48、iety is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that Americans talk about constantly. Its not taboo to talk about fat; its taboo to be fat. The “thin“ look is thin, not fat. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, trim executives to sell their image as well as t
49、heir products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor and success. The fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-respect. After all, people think, how can people who care about themselves, and therefore the way they look, permit themselves to become fat? In an image-conscious society like the U. S. , thin is “in“, fat is “out“. 41 According to the
