17、 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice. 32 A sick or injured person can obtain medical care in several different places. These include provider practices such as medical offices and clinics, hospitals and nursing homes. There are about 200,000 medical offices, clinics, an
18、d other provider practices in the United States. Earlier in the 20th century most physicians were single people working in their own offices or in partnership with another doctor. Patients visited the office, received an examination or other service, and paid a fee. This traditional fee-for-service
19、medicine has been declining. Many physicians now practice in groups where they share the same offices and equipment with other doctors. Group practices may combine primary care physicians, several kinds of specialists, laboratories, and equipment for diagnosing disease. Physicians who practice in a
20、group reduce their own expenses and provide patients with a wider range of services. Many doctors are joining with hospitals, insurance companies, and industrial employers to provide managed care for groups of patients. These plans manage to avoid unnecessary services and reduce costs. Rather than t
21、aking a fee from each patient, managed care physicians may receive an annual salary from a fixed sum for each patient. Patients who are too sick for care in a doctors office go to a hospital. Hospitals offer Patients 24-hour care from a staff of health professionals. They provide services not availa
22、ble elsewhere, such as major surgery, child birth, and intensive care for the critically ill. Hospital care is the most expensive form of health care. Efforts to control health care costs have emphasized reducing the number of patients admitted to hospitals and their length of stay. During the 1980s
23、 and 1990s, these efforts led to the closing of more than 600 hospitals. Patients who need long-term medical care because of advanced age or chronic illness may stay in a nursing home. The United States has about 23,000 nursing homes with about 1.3 million patients. 32 Earlier in the 20th century, p
24、eople often went to the _ to check the illness. （ A） group practices office （ B） physicians office （ C） hospitals （ D） clinics 33 “Physicians who practice in a group reduce their own expenses and provide patients with a wider range of services.“ in this sentence “expenses“ can be explained as _. （ A

29、 41 through 45. 37 Thomas Alva Edison lit up the world with his invention of the electric light. Without him, the world might still be a dark place. However, the electric light was not his only invention. He also invented the phonograph(留声机 ), the motion picture camera, and over 1,200 other things.
30、About every two weeks he created something new. Thomas A. Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, on February 11, 1847 . His family moved to Port Huron, Michigan, when he was seven years old. Surprisingly, he attended school for only two months. His mother, a former teacher, taught him a few things, but Tho
31、mas was mostly self-educated. His natural curiosity(好奇 ) led him to start experimenting at a young age with electrical and mechanical things at home. When he was 12 years old, he got his first job. He became a newsboy on a train that ran between Port Huron and Detroit. He set up a laboratory in a ba
32、ggage car of the train so that he could continue his experiments in his spare time. Unfortunately, his first work experience did not end well. Thomas was fired when he accidentally(意外地 ) set fire to the floor of the baggage car. Thomas then worked for five years as a telegraph operator, but he conti
33、nued to spend much of his time on the job conducting experiments. He got his first patent(专利 ) in 1868 for a vote recorder run by electricity. However, the vote recorder was not a success.

34、prints stock prices on a tape. He was then able to build his first shop in Newark, New Jersey. Thomas Edison was totally deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, but thought of his deafness as a blessing in many ways. It kept conversations short, so that he could have more time for work. He
35、 called himself a “two-shift man“ because he worked 16 out of every 24 hours. Sometimes he worked so intensely that his wife had to remind him to sleep and eat. Thomas Edison died at the age of 84 on October 18, 1931, at his estate in West Orange, New Jersey. He left numerous inventions that improve
36、d the quality of life all over the world. 37 Thomas Edison worked _ hours a day so he called himself a “two-shift man“. （ A） 24 （ B） 8 （ C） 12 （ D） 16 38 Which of the following statements is in the right order for Thomas Edison? （ A） He became a telegraph operator, a newsboy, and then got his first

38、（ B） a blessing （ C） something from a priest （ D） a necessity 40 Of all the inventions, _ was probably the most important for civilization. （ A） the vote recorder （ B） the stock ticker （ C） the light bulb （ D） the motion picture camera 41 The main idea of this passage is _. （ A） Thomas Edison was al
39、ways interested in science and inventions, and he invented many important things （ B） Thomas Edison could not keep a job （ C） Thomas Edison worked day and night on his experiments （ D） deaf people make good inventors because they can focus without the distraction of spoken conversation Task 3 Direct
