17、ackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET. 20 Just few years ago, a graduate from Brown University medical school had just a slight understanding about how to care for the elderly. Now, Brown and other U. S. medical schools are plugging geriatric(老年医学的 )courses into their curricula. The U. S. Cens
18、us Bureau projects the number of elderly Americans will nearly double to 71 million by 2030. The first members of the Baby Boomer generation, so named for the explosion in births in the years after World War Two, turn to 65 in three years. In addition, people are living longer than ever. “ The first
19、 ripples of the silver tsunami are lapping at the shores of our country, but there is not a coordinated or strategic response taking place in America,“ said Richard Besdine, who is director of the geriatrics division at Brown University medical school in Providence. Geriatrics has never been a field
20、 of choice for young doctors. Elderly care doctors are paid less than most other physicians and surgeons and the aged can be hard to treat. They have complicated medical histories and their ailments, even such routine illnesses as pneumonia(肺炎 ), can be more difficult to diagnose because they may be
21、 masked by other conditions. Also, drugs can affect them more differently than middle-aged adults. “Its a hard job: its not paid very well: its complicated: and theres very little status within the hierarchy of medical specialties to being a geriatric physician,“ said Gavin Hougham, senior program o
22、fficer and manager of medicine programs at the John A. Hartford Foundation. “ Out of 800, 000 doctors in the United States, roughly 7,000 are geriatricians,“ Hougham said. The country needs another 13,000 to adequately care for todays older population, according to the American Geriatrics Society. T
23、he shortfall could reach 36,000 by 2030. To help counter that, private groups are bankrolling medical schoolsemphasis on aging. The Hartford Foundation has given more than $ 40 million to 27 schools to train faculties in elderly care, and the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation has given more than $ 100 m
24、illion to 30 schools to include more geriatrics content. “If they dont learn it, they still have to deal with it,“ Hougham said. “Its not that not learning geriatrics will cause these older people to go away. Theyre coming whether were ready or not. “ 21 What does Richard Besdine mean in Paragraph 3
25、? （ A） The large amount of the elderly has created a big problem in America. （ B） The number of the elderly has been growing beyond the capacity of America. （ C） America is not ready to cope with the growing number of the elderly. （ D） America is not the ideal place for the elderly to spend the rest
26、 of their lives. 22 The main point of Paragraph 4 is_. （ A） why geriatric physicians are paid less than other physicians （ B） why doctors show little interest in being geriatric physicians （ C） what are the major problems with the elderly care industry （ D） what can be done to ensure the healthy dev
27、elopment of elderly care 23 It can be learned from the passage that in the U. S. , _. （ A） there is a shortage of geriatric physicians （ B） more training is needed for geriatric physicians （ C） demand for geriatric physicians varies across states （ D） care for the elderly will depend more on geriatr
28、ic physicians 24 The fact that private groups have provided money to medical schools_. （ A） highlights the inadequacy of government support （ B） emphasizes the importance of more professional training （ C） demonstrates the increasing impact of private money （ D） indicates the growing awareness of th
29、e related problem 25 According to Hougham, the challenge posed by the elderly is_. （ A） temporary （ B） universal （ C） unavoidable （ D） controllable 25 The rich have traditionally passed their wealth on to their children. But an increasing number of billionaires are choosing not to. The reason? They
30、want their children to live on themselves and not to turn into spoiled successors. Nicola Horlick or “supermom“ , a famous British billionaire, owing to the fact that she has high-flying jobs and five kids has spent her career making a reported 250m. She now seems determined to throw off large parts
31、 of it. She already gives away about 25% of her income each year: she has just revealed, in a report on the state of charity in the city, that she will not be leaving most of the remainder to her children. “ I think it is wrong to give too much inherited wealth to children,“ Horlick told the reports
32、 authors. “I will not be leaving all my wealth to my children because that would just ruin their lives. “ She is by no means the first to go public with this conviction. Bill Gates has put an estimated $30bn into the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This was supplemented, in 2009, by another $ 24b
33、n or so from his friend Warren Buffett. Buffett has always been colorful, quotably clear on where he stands. His daughter often tells a story of finding herself without change for a car parking ticket her father lent her $20, then promptly made her write him a check. “ To suggest that the children o
34、f the wealthy should be just as wealthy,“ he has said, “is like saying the members of Americas 2004 Olympic team should be made up only of the children of the 1980 Olympic team. “ Antia Roddick, the late founder of the Body Shop, told her kids that they would not inherit one penny. The money that sh
35、e made from the company would go into the Body Shop Foundation, which isnt one of those awful tax shelters, like some in America. It just functions to take the money and give it away. 26 The billionaires mentioned in the passage dont want to leave much of their wealth to their children because_. （ A
36、） they prefer to give their wealth to charity （ B） they want their business to go on healthily （ C） they believe too much wealth will harm their children （ D） they hope their children can make more money themselves 27 What do we learn about Nicola Horlick? （ A） She has already given away about 25% o
37、f her wealth. （ B） She is the first one who declares to give away her wealth. （ C） She will leave only a small portion of her wealth to her kids. （ D） She inherited most of her wealth from her parents. 28 Buffett distinguishes himself for_. （ A） his clear-cut position （ B） being strict with his chil
38、dren （ C） his talent in financial management （ D） being a giant in the stock market 29 According to Buffetts daughter, her father_. （ A） refuses to lend her money （ B） wants her to invest in the Olympic Games （ C） never gives her more money than necessary （ D） always makes sure that she returns his
39、money 30 The attitude of the writer toward that billionaires dont pass their wealth to their children is_. （ A） negative （ B） positive （ C） objective （ D） casual 30 On an average of six times a day, a doctor in Holland practices “active“ euthanasia(安乐死 ): intentionally administering a lethal(致死的 )dr
40、ug to a terminally ill patient who has asked to be relieved of suffering. Twenty times a day, life-prolonging treatment is withheld or withdrawn when there is no hope that it can affect an ultimate cure. “Active“ euthanasia remains a crime on the Dutch statute books. But a series of court cases has
41、made it clear that a competent physician who carries it out will not be prosecuted. Euthanasia, often called “mercy killing“ is a crime in Western Europe. But more and more doctors and nurses readily admit to practicing it, most often in the“passive“ form of withholding or withdrawing treatment. The
42、 long simmering euthanasia issue has lately boiled over into a, sometimes, fierce public debate. Those opposed to the practice see themselves upholding sacred principles of respect for life, while those in favor raise the banner of humane treatment. After years on the defensive, the advocates now se
43、em to be gaining ground. Reasons for the latest surge of interest in euthanasia are not hard to find. Nowadays, lingering chronic diseases have replaced critical illnesses as the primary cause of death. And the euthanasists argue that every human being should have the right to “die with dignity“. Mo
44、st experts believe that euthanasia will continue to be practiced no matter what the law says. 31 From the passage we can see that in Holland_. （ A） a doctor who practices euthanasia will not be punished （ B） euthanasia is regarded as illegal （ C） euthanasia is considered to be necessary but forbidde
45、n by law （ D） active euthanasia is still illegal, but people often tolerate an experienced doctor who carries it out 32 What is the comment of the author on the problem of euthanasia? （ A） Euthanasia is not regarded as a crime in France. （ B） More and more medical workers like to practice euthanasia
46、, no matter what form it takes. （ C） The problem of euthanasia is now being debated heatedly and openly. （ D） There is not much difference between “active“ and “passive“ euthanasia. 33 Which of the following statements can not be found in the passage? （ A） Those opposed euthanasia say that they beli
47、eve the right to live is sacred. （ B） Those in favor of euthanasia maintain that they are for humane treatment. （ C） Recently the advocates of euthanasia have got more support from the public. （ D） More and more people like to have the law changed. 34 Which of the following is the most reasonable ca
48、use of euthanasia? （ A） People dont like to live too long. （ B） People dont like to suffer from long-lasting chronic diseases. （ C） People dont like to be hospitalized. （ D） People dont like to become a burden of others. 35 The last sentence in the passage indicates that_. （ A） people will stop the
49、practice of euthanasia immediately （ B） people will resume the practice of euthanasia only after it is allowed by law （ C） people will go on practicing euthanasia no matter it is passed by law or not （ D） only passive euthanasia is allowed according to the law 35 Singletons, referring to those who live alone, are being comforted by well-meaning friends and family and told that not having a partner is not the end of the world.
