18、ts on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.20 Faith in medicine runs deep in America. We spend more per person on health care than any other nation. Whether we eat too much or exercise too little, whether were turning gray or feeling blue, we turn to some pills or procedure to make us better.We assume
19、that devoting even more dollars to medicine will bring us longer, healthier lives. But there is mounting evidence that each new dollar we devote to the current health care system bringing small and diminishing returns to public health. Today the United States spends more than $ 4,500 per person per
20、year on health care. Costa Rica spends less than $ 300. Yet life expectancy at birth is nearly identical in both countries.Despite the highly publicized “longevity revolution“ , life expectancy among the elderly in the United States is hardly improving. Yes, we are an aging society, but primarily be
21、cause of falling birthrates. Younger Americans, meanwhile, are far more likely to be disabled than they were 20 years ago. Most affected are people in their thirties, whose disability rates increased by nearly 130 percent, due primarily to overweight.Why has our huge investment in health care left u
22、s so unhealthy? Partly it is because so many promised “miracle cures“ , from interferon to gene therapies, have proven to be ineffective or even dangerous. Partly its because health care dollars are so concentrated on die terminally ill and the very old that even when medical interventions “work“ ,
23、the gains to average life expectancy are small. And partly it is because of medical errors and adverse reaction to prescription drugs, which cause more deaths than motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer or AIDS. Each year roughly 200, 000 seniors suffer fatal or life-threatening “adverse drug events
24、“ due to improper drug use or drug interaction.Why dont Americans live any longer than Costa Ricans? Overwhelmingly, its because of differences in behavior. Americans exercise less, eat more, drive more, smoke more, and lead to more socially isolated lives. Even at its best, modern medicine can do l
25、ittle to promote productive aging, because by the time most people come in contact with it their bodies are already compromised by stress, indulgent habits, environmental dangers and injuries.21 Americans in general believe that_.（A）more money spent on health care may not result in better health（B）
26、medicine may provide an effective cure for various health problems（C） health problems caused by bad habits can hardly be solved by medicine（D）higher birthrate can better solve the problem of aging society than medicine22 Compared with the Americans, Costa Ricans_.（A）have a healthier way of life（B） e

29、ttle room for medicine to work（D）great efforts should be made to develop new types of medicine25 The passage is mainly focused on_.（A）the limits of medicine（B） the life hazards in the U. S.（C） the barriers to a longer life（D）the problems in health investment25 The members of Duke Universitys compute
30、r programming team had solved only one problem in the world finals of the International Collegiate Programming Contest. The winning team, from Saratov State University in Russia, solved six puzzles over the course of the grueling five-hour contest. Afterward, Duke coach Owen Astrachan tried to cheer
31、 up his team by pointing out that they were among “the best of the best“ student programmers in the world. Edwards, 20, still distraught, couldnt resist a self-deprecating dig; “Were the worst of the best of the best. “For young Americans, a computing career isnt the draw even a few years ago. Never
32、 mind that experienced programmers make upwards of $ 100, 000 and that the brainiest of them are the objects of heated bidding wars. Students fear that if they become programmers theyll lose their jobs to counterparts in India and China. Analysts say those worries are overblown: Programmers with lea
33、dership and business skills will do just fine. But the message isnt getting through. Then theres the thrill factor, or lack thereof. Given the opportunity to make a mint on Wall Street or land a comfortable academic job, many math and science students are turning away from software. “I couldnt reall
34、y get excited about sitting in front of a computer and just writing programs,“ says Duke junior Brandon Levin, who has taken computer courses but is majoring in math and plans a career in academia.26 Why did Duke coach say his team members were “the best of the best“ student programmers?（A）He tried
35、to encourage them.（B） His team did really well in the contest.（C） They ranked second only after Russian team.（D）They were one of the two home teams among the 12 highest finishers.27 “A computing career isnt the draw“ probably means that_.（A）it wouldnt offer a bright future（B） it is not attractive（C）
36、 it is not a smart choice（D）its future is unclear28 Who will be the objects of the bidding wars for a computing career?（A）The computer science graduates.（B） Students form India and China.（C） The most experienced and intelligent programmers.（D）Programmers ever worked for Wall Street.29 What has cause
37、d fear for students who would be future programmers?（A）Lacking in practical experience.（B） Being less competitive with their colleagues.（C） Poor awarding or payment.（D）Lacking in competent leadership and business skills.30 Many math and science students are turning away from software because_.（A）the
38、y know they cannot do as well as counterparts from India and China（B） they have leadership and business skills（C） they find programming is a very boring job（D）they have more chances to take to be a businessman and a teacher30 Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationsh
39、ips with family, friends, neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity (长寿) boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship. The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote that widows and widowers (鳏夫) were at a much higher risk of dying than
40、 their married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a mans life and two to a womans. The effect holds for all causes of death whether illness, accident or self-harm.Even if the odds are stacked against you, marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite
41、 of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesnt smoke. Theres a
42、 flip side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouses death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of more than 10, 000 peo
43、ple, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.So how does it work? The effects are complex, affected by socio-economic factors, health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological (生理的) mechanisms. For example,
44、 social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life. People in supportive relationships may handle stress better. Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.A life partner, children and good
45、 friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100.The ultimate social network is still being mapped out, but Christakis says：“ People are interconnected , so their health is interconnected. “31 William Farrs study and other studies show that_.（A）social life provides an effective cure for illnes
46、s（B） being sociable helps improve ones quality of life（C） women benefit more than men from marriage（D）marriage contributes a great deal to longevity32 Linda Waites studies support the idea that_.（A）older men should quit smoking to stay healthy（B） marriage can help make up for ill health（C） the marri
47、ed are happier than the unmarried（D）unmarried people are likely to suffer in later life33 It can be inferred from the context that the “flip side“ (Line 5, Para.2) refers to_.（A）the disadvantages of being married（B） the emotional problems arising from marriage（C） the responsibility of taking care of
48、 ones family（D）the consequence of a broken marriage34 What does the author say about social networks?（A）They have effects similar to those of a marriage.（B） They help develop peoples community spirit.（C） They provide timely support for those in need.（D）They help relieve people of their lifes burdens
