It was the first complete telesurgery procedure performed by surgeons nearly 4,000 miles away from their patient. In New
16、 York.Marescaux teamed up with surgeon Michel Gagner to perform the historic long-distance operation. A high-speed fiber-optic service provided by France Telecom made the connection between New York and Strasbourg. The two surgeons controlled the instruments using an advanced robotic surgical system
17、,designed by Computer Motion Inc.that enabled the procedure to be minimally invasive. The patient was released from the hospital after about 48 hours and regained normal activity the following week. The high-speed fiber-optic connection between New York and France made it possible to overcome a key
18、obstacle to telesurgery time delay. It was crucial that a continuous time delay of less than 200 milliseconds be maintained throughout the operation,between the surgeons movements in New York and the return video (from Strasbourg) on his screen. The delay problem includes video coding decoding and s
19、ignal transmission time. France Telecoms engineers achieved an average time delay of 150 milliseconds. “I felt as comfortable operating on my patient as if I had been in the room,“ says Marescaux. The successful collaboration (合作 ) among medicine,advanced technology,and telecommunications is likely
20、to have enormous implications for patient care and doctor training. Highly skilled surgeons may soon regularly perform especially difficult operations through long-distance procedures. The computer systems used to control surgical movement can also lead to a breakthrough in teaching surgical techniq
21、ues to a new generation of physicians. More surgeons-in-training will have the opportunity to observe their teachers in action in telesurgery operating rooms around the world. Marescaux describes the success of the remotely performed surgical procedure as the beginning of a “third revolution“ in sur
22、gery within the last decade. The first was the arrival of minimally invasive surgery,enabling procedures to be performed with guidance by a camera,meaning that the abdomen (腹 部 ) and thorax (胸腔 ) do not have to be opened. The second was the introduction of computer-assisted surgery,where complicated
23、 software algorithms (计算法 ) enhance the safety of the surgeons movements during a procedure,making them more accurate,while introducing the concept of distance between the surgeon and the patient. It was thus natural to imagine that this distance-currently several meters in the operating room-could
24、potentially be up to several thousand kilometers. 31 The title that best expresses the main idea is_. （ A） How The Second Revolution in Surgery Comes Out （ B） The Telesurgery Revolution （ C） A Patient Was Saved （ D） Dream Comes True 32 The italicized Word “telesurgery“ (Para.1 .sentence 2) can be be
25、st explained as_. （ A） an operation done over a distance （ B） an operation done on television （ C） an operation demanding special skill （ D） an operation demanding high technology 33 How long did it take the patient to resume her normal activity after the operation_. （ A） 24 hours （ B） 48 hours （ C）
26、 about a week （ D） almost a month 34 What is the major barrier to telesurgery? （ A） distance （ B） advanced technology （ C） delay （ D） medical facilities 35 The writer implies that_. （ A） difficult operation can be successfully performed all over the world now （ B） compared to the “third revolution“
27、in surgery,the first two are less important （ C） all patients can be cured by a gall bladder-removal operation （ D） a new breakthrough has been made in surgery 35 The multi-billion-dollar Western pop music industry is under fire. It is being blamed by the United Nations for the dramatic rise in drug
28、 abuse worldwide. “The most worrisome development is a culture of drug-friendliness that seems to be gaining prominence (显著 ),“ said the UNs 13-member International Narcotics Control Board in a report released in late February 1998. The 74-page study says that pop music,as a global industry,is by fa
29、r the most influential trend-setter for young people of most cultures. “Some lyrics advocate the smoking of marijuana (大麻 ) or taking other drugs,and certain pop stars make statements and set examples as if the use of drugs for non-medicinal purposes were a normal and acceptable part of a persons li
30、festyle,“ the study says. Surprisingly,says the Board,the effect of drug-friendly pop music seems to survive despite the occasional shock of death by overdose (过量用药 ). “Such incidents tend to be seen as an occasion to mourn the loss of a role model,and not an opportunity to confront the deadly effec
31、t of recreational drug use,“ it notes. Since the 1970s,several internationally famous singers and movie stars-including Elvis Presley,Janice Joplinjohn Belushi.Jimi Hendrix,Jonathan Melvin and Andy Gibbs-have died of either drug abuse or drug related illnesses. With the globalization of popular musi
32、c,messages tolerating or promoting drug abuse are now reaching beyond their countries of origin. “In most countries,the names of certain pop stars have become familiar to the members of every household,“ the study says. The UN study also blames the media for its description of certain drug issues-es
33、pecially the use of marijuana and issues of liberalization and legalization-which encourages,rather than prevents,drug abuse. “Over the last years,we have seen how drug abuse is increasingly regarded as being acceptable or even attractive,“ says The UN study also blames the media for its description
34、 of certain drug issues-especially the use of marijuana and issues of liberalization and legalization-. “Powerful pressure groups run political campaigns aimed at legalizing controlled drugs,“ he says. Ghodse also points out that all these developments have created an environment which is tolerant o
35、f or even favorable to drug abuse and spoils international drug prevention efforts currently underway. The present study， be says,focuses on the issue of demand reduction and prevention within an environment that has become tolerant of drug abuse. The Board calls on governments to do their legal and
36、 moral duties,and to act against the pro-drug messages of the youth culture to which young people increasingly are being exposed. 36 Which of the following statements does the author tend to agree with? （ A） The use of drugs for non-medicinal purposes is an acceptable part of a persons lifestyle. （
37、B） The spreading of pop music may cause the drug abuse to go beyond country,boundaries. （ C） No efforts have been made to prevent the spreading of drug abuse. （ D） The governments have no ability to act against the pro-drug messages of the youth culture. 37 The italicized phrase “under fire“ (Para.
38、1 .sentence 1) means_. （ A） in an urgent situation （ B） facing some problems （ C） being criticized （ D） quite popular 38 Under the influence of drug-friendly pop music,what might the youth think of the death of some pop stars caused by overdose? （ A） They tend to mourn the pop stars as role models.
39、（ B） They are shocked to know even pop stars may abuse drugs. （ C） They try to confront the deadly effect of “recreational“ drug use. （ D） They may stop abusing the drugs. 39 Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage as a factor that has contributed to creating an environment tolerant o
40、f or even favorable to drug abuse? （ A） The spreading of pop music （ B） The media （ C） Political campaigns run by powerful pressure groups （ D） The low price of some drugs 40 The pop music_. （ A） has a great influence on young people of most cultures （ B） only appeals to a small number of young peop
41、le （ C） is not a profitable industry （ D） is the only culprit (罪魁祸首 ) responsible for drug amuse 40 The Alaska pipeline starts at the frozen edge of the Arctic Ocean. It stretches southward across the largest and northern most state in the United States,ending at a remote ice-free seaport village ne
42、arly 800 miles from where it begins. It is massive in size and extremely operate. The steel pipe cresses windswept plains and endless miles of delicate tundra that tops the frozen ground. It weaves through crooked canyons,climbs sheer mountains,plunges over rocky crags,makes its way through thick fo
43、rests,and passes over or under hundreds of rivers and streams. The pipe is 4 feet in diameter,and up to 2 million barrels of crude oil can be pumped through it daily. Resting on H-shaped steel racks called “bents“, long sections of the pipeline follow a zigzag course high above the frozen earth. Oth
44、er long sections drop out of sight beneath spongy or rocky ground and return to the surface later on. The pattern of the pipelines up-and-down route is determined by the often harsh demands of the arctic and subarctic climate,the tortuous lay of the land,and the varied compositions of soil,rock,or p
45、ermanently frozen ground. A little more than half of the pipeline is elevated above the ground. The remainder is buried anywhere from 3 to 12 feet,depending largely upon the type of terrain and the properties of the soil. One of the largest in the world,the pipeline cost approximately $ 8 billion an
46、d is by far the biggest and most expensive construction project ever undertaken by private industry. In fact， no single business could raise that much money,so 8 major oil companies formed a consortium in order to share the costs. Each company controlled oil rights to particular shares of land in th
47、e oil fields and paid into the pipeline-construction fund according to the size of its holdings. Today,despite enormous problems of climate,supply shortages,equipment breakdowns,labor disagreements,treacherous terrain,a certain amount of mismanagements ,and even theft ,the Alaska pipeline has been c
48、ompleted and is operating. 41 The passage primarily discusses the pipelines_. （ A） operating costs （ B） employees （ C） consumers （ D） construction 42 The word “it“ (Para. 1 .sentence 3) refers to_. （ A） pipeline （ B） ocean （ C） state （ D） village 43 The author mentions all of the following as import
49、ant in determining the pipelines route EXCEPT the_. （ A） climate （ B） lay of the land itself （ C） local vegetation （ D） kind of soil and rock 44 How many companies shared the costs of constructing the pipeline? （ A） 3 （ B） 4 （ C） 8 （ D） 12 45 Which of the following determined what percentage of the construction costs each member of the consortium would pay? （ A） How much oil field land each company owned. （ B） How long each c
