27、est one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. 30 In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the mat
28、ter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11: 00 p. m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes its a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social life, time
29、plays a very important part. In the USA guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world it may be considered foolish to make an appointment
30、 too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently; promptness (准时 ) is valued highly in American l
31、ife, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the US no one would think of keeping a business friend waiting for an hour; it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is less than 5 min
32、utes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. 31 “The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p. m. “ Here “attached“ means_. （ A） taken （ B） drawn （ C） given （ D） shown 32 Supposing one wants to make a telephone call at mid

35、is appropriate to send your invitation cards three or four days before a dinner party date in the US. （ B） It may be appropriate to send your invitation cards to your guests three or four days before a dinner party date in some cultures. （ C） It is best for one to make telephone calls at night becau
36、se it costs much less. （ D） If one is less than 5 minutes late, he has to make a short apology. 35 The need for a surgical operation, especially an emergency operation, almost always comes as a severe shock to the patient and his family. Despite modern advances most people still have an irrational f
37、ear of hospitals and anaesthetic. Patients do not often believe they really need surgery cutting into a part of the body as opposed to treatment with drugs. In the early years of this century there was little specialization in surgery. A good surgeon was capable of performing almost every operation
38、that had been devised up to that time. Today the situation is different. Operations are now being carried out that were not even dreamed of fifty years ago. The heart can be safely opened and its valves repaired. Clogged blood vessels can be cleaned out, and broken ones mended or replaced A lung, th
39、e whole stomach, or even part of the brain can be removed and still permit the patient to live a comfortable and satisfactory life. However, not every surgeon wants to, or is qualified to carry out every type of modern operation. The scope of surgery has increased remarkably in this century. Its saf
40、ety has increased too. Deaths from most operations are about 20% of what they were in 1910 and surgery has been extended in many directions, for example, to certain types of birth defects in newborn babies, and, at the other end of the scale, to life-saving operations for the octogenarian (80岁至 89岁之
41、间的人 ). Many developments in modern surgery are almost incredible. They include the replacement of damaged blood vessels with simulated ones made of plastic; the replacement of heart valves with plastic substitutes; the transplanting of tissues such as the lens of the eye; the invention of the artifi
42、cial kidney to clean the blood of poisons at regular intervals and the development of heart and lung machines to keep patients alive during very long operations. All these things open a hopeful vista for the future of surgery. 36 Most people are afraid of being operated on_. （ A） in spite of improve
43、ments in modern surgery （ B） because they think modern drugs are dangerous （ C） because they do not believe they need anaesthetic （ D） unless it is an emergency operation 37 When has the heart-open surgery been possible? （ A） Only in the last fifty years. （ B） From prehistoric times. （ C） Since the
44、nineteenth century. （ D） Since the invention of valves. 38 The word “vista“ in the last line refers to_. （ A） support （ B） prospect （ C） history （ D） visit 39 Today, compared with 1910, _. （ A） five times fewer patients die after being operated on （ B） 20% fewer of all operation patients die （ C） 20
45、% of all operation patients recover （ D） operation deaths have increased by 20% 40 What are some of the more astonishing innovations in modern surgery? （ A） Ears, nose and throat transplants. （ B） Valves plastic hearts. （ C） Plastic heart valves. （ D） Leg transplants. 40 Business has slowed, layoffs
46、 mount, but executive pay continues to roar at least so far. Business Weeks annual survey finds that chief executive officers (CEOs) at 365 of the largest companies got compensation last year averaging $ 3. 1 million up 1. 3 percent from 1994. Why are the top bosses getting an estimated 485 times th
47、e pay of a typical factory worker? That is up from 475 times in 1999 and a mere 42 times in 1980. One reason may be what experts call the “Lake Wobegon effect“ . Corporate boards tend to reckon that “all CEOs are above average“ a play on Garrison Keillors famous line in his public radio show, A Prai
48、rie Home Companion that all the towns children are “above average“ . Consultants provide boards with surveys of corporate CEO compensation. Since directors are reluctant to regard their CEOs as below average, the compensation committees of boards tend to set pay at an above-average level. The result
49、: Pay levels get ratcheted(一步步地增加 )up. Defenders of lavish CEO pay argue there is such a strong demand for experienced CEOs that the free market forces their pay up. They further maintain most boards structure pay packages to reflect an executives performance. They get paid more if their companies and their stock do well. So companies with high-paid CEOs generate great wealth for their sha
