Do you put ketchup on your food? Have you ever visited a sauna? If you
27、think these words are originally English, youd better think again. In fact, each of these words comes from a different language.

28、 your hair. Over time, British people in India came to use this word for the washing liquid. Almost everyone knows ketchup. People all over the world like to pour this tomato sauce on their French fries or sandwiches. However, this word is originally Chinese(from kctsiap, a fish sauce). In the 1600s
29、, British and Dutch sailors took this fish sauce back to Europe. Over time, people added a tomato flavor to it. But the name remained basically the same. Sauna, a popular type of public steam room and shower facility, comes from the Finnish language. It first became famous at the Olympics. Athletes

Section B 60 Would you like to orbit the Earth inside the International Space Station? Now you ca
34、n take a space holidayfor a price. This is due to a recent decision by top space officials of the United States, Russia, Canada, Japan and the European Space Agency. Last April, American businessman Dennis Tito reportedly paid between twelve-million and twenty-million dollars to spend one week on th
35、e International Space Station. NASA had strongly objected to the Russian plan to permit a civilian on the costly research vehicle. After two years of negotiations , space officials have agreed on a process to train private citizens to take trips to the International Space Station. NASA recently agre
36、ed to conditions that will permit Russia to sell trips to the space station. The trips are planned by an American company called Space Adventures Limited of Arlington, Virginia. The company calls itself “ the worlds leading space tourism company. “ The company has sold a space trip to Mark Shuttlewo
37、rth, a South African businessman. In April, Mister Shuttle-worth will be launched into space from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Yet, the average citizen will not be able to travel into space in the near future. Space Adventures Limited sells a training program for space flight that costs tw
38、o-hundred-thousand dollars. That price does not include the cost of the trip to the International Space Station. That holiday in space costs twenty-million dollars. Candidates for adventure space travel trips must be in excellent health and must pass difficult health tests. They must receive a lot o

42、at you still need to study. As a result, it is not unusual for students to drop out. Misguided teachers attempt to simplify matters in an environment that demands the very best of its practitioners. The situation is little better in the year or two years after qualifying. Poorly paid for such long h
43、ours, many junior doctors find themselves becoming disillusioned with medicine.【 T2】 The more depressed they become, the more likely they are to look elsewhere for a career, wasting up to seven years of training and education. An unfortunate statistic is that of those that qualify as doctors, 18% do
44、 not remain in the profession for more than three years. 66 Why is the life of a student doctor harder than the other postgraduate students? 67 Why do many junior doctors become disillusioned with medicine? 68 How many doctor students give up the chance of being doctors? 69 【 T1】 70 【 T2】 Section D
45、70 Certain birds are, more often than not, considered bad luck, or even frightening, a sign of impending death. All over the world, both crows and ravens(乌鸦 )have some connection with war and death. In early times, crows and ravens were thought to accompany the gods of war, or be signs of their immi
46、nent arrival in an area. Later, this belief became more general, and these birds, crows more particularly, were thought to be harbingers(预兆 )of ill fortune or, in some cases, guides to the afterlife. Woe be it to the person who saw a single crow or raven flying overhead, for this most certainly was
47、a portent of death in the near future. Interestingly, though potentially bad luck for people individually, the raven is considered to be good luck for the crown of England. So much so, in fact, that a “ raven master“ is even today an actual government position in the Tower of London. He takes care o
48、f the ravens there and also clips their wings, ensuring that these birds can never fly far from the seat of the British government. This way, the kingdom will never fall to ill fortune. Another bird which is also still considered to play a part in peoples fortunes is the swallow. Depending on how an
49、d when it is seen, the swallow can be a harbinger of either good-or-ill-for-tune. Perhaps inspired by the swallows red-brown breast, people initially related the swallow with the death of Christ. Thus, people who saw a swallow fly through their house considered it a portent of death. Later, however, farmers began to consider
