閱讀理解【1】

Artificial(假的) flowers are used for scientific as well as for decorative purposes. They are made from a variety of materials, such as wax and glass, so skillfully that they can scarcely be distinguished from natural flowers. In making such models, painstaking and artistry are called for, as well as thorough knowledge of plant structure. The collection of glass flowers in the Botanical Museum of Harvard University is the most famous in North America and is widely known throughout the scientific world. In all, there are several thousand models in colored glass, the work of two artist-naturalists, Leopold Blaschka and his son Rudolph.?

The intention was to have the collection represent at least one member of each flower family native to the United States. Although it was never completed. It contains more than seven hundred species representing 164 families of flowering plants, a group of fruits showing the effect of fungus diseases, and thousands of flower parts and magnified details. Every detail of these is accurately reproduced in color and structure. The models are kept in locked cases as they are too valuable and fragile for classroom use.?

51.A。細節理解題。短文說明了美國the Botanical Museum of Harvard University收藏玻璃花的目的、收藏品的豐富、精緻的細節等內容,所以用An Extensive Collection of Glass Flowers作標題最合適。?

52.C。推理判斷題。根據第二段的“The intention was to have the collection represent at least one member of each flower family native to the United States.”可知收藏的目的是把美國所有的花都複製一種。?

53.B。推理判斷題。根據它前後的內容:目的是使收藏能代表美國的每一類花,儘管還沒有完成,只能是收藏還沒有完成。?

54.C。細節理解題。資訊來自第二段的內容,C項的內容在第二段中沒有提及,其他各項的內容都有相關的說明。?

The British National Health Service (NHS) was set up in 1948 and was designed to provide equal basic health care, free of charge, for everybody in the country. Before this time health care had to be paid for by individuals.

Nowadays central government is directly responsible for the NHS although it is administered by local health authorities. About 83 percent of the cost of the health service is paid for by general taxation and the rest is met from the National Insurance contributions paid by those in work. There are charges for prescription and dental care but many people, such as children, Most people are registered with a local doctor (a GP, or General Practitioner) who is increasingly likely to be part of a health centre which serves the community.

As the population of Britain gets older, the hospital service now treats more patients than before, although patients spend less time in hospital. NHS hospitals—many of which were built in the nineteenth century — provide nearly half a million beds and have over 480, 000 medical staff. The NHS is the biggest employer in Europe although Britain actually spends less per person on health care than most of her European neighbours.

During the 1980s there was considerable restructuring of the Health Service with an increased emphasis on managerial efficiency and the privatization of some services (for example, cleaning). At the end of the 1980s the government introduced proposals for further reform of the NHS, including allowing some hospitals to be self-governing, and encouraging GPs to compete for patients. Patients would be able to choose and change their family doctor more easily and GPs would have more financial responsibility. The political questions continue of how much money should be provided to support the NHS and where it should come from.

41. We can know from the first paragraph that ______________.

A. the original aim of the NHS was to provide equal basic health care for everybody

B. people didn’t have to pay for health care since the NHS was set up

C. patients were charged for receiving health care before 1948

D. the NHS was an organization which gave free advice to villagers

42. What do we know about the NHS?

A. It’s managed by the central government.

B. Its cost is mainly paid for by the National Insurance contributions.

C. It hires more people than any other unit in Europe.

D. Fewer patients go to its hospitals than before because they spend less on health care.

43. All the following statements about GPs are true except that they ____________.

A. take care of the local people’s health

B. often take part in competitions to see who is the best

C. work under high pressure nowadays

D. have more responsibilities than before

44. What does the underlined word “exempt” probably mean?

A. suffering B. different C. prevented D. free

45. The biggest problem for the NHS is ______________.

A. many hospitals are too old to be used

B. some services are in the charge of individuals

C. more and more patients go to GPs for treatment

D. there is not enough money for further reform

國家保健中心由中央政府直接負責,但由地方當局管理。建立國家保健中心的最初目的 是為農村居民提供免費的基本健康護理,尤其兒童、孕婦等可享受免費治療。

41. C。細節理解題。根據最後一自然段最後一句可知,建立國家保健中心的最初目的是為農村居民提供免費的基本健康護理,而不是針對所有的人,所以前兩項錯誤。

42. C。細節理解題。根據第4自然段“The NHS is the biggest employer in Europe…”可知。從第二自然段第一句可以看出國家保健中心由中央政府直接負責,但由地方當局管理,所以A項錯誤。

43. B。細節理解題。根據最後一自然段話“and encouraging GPs to compete for patients”可知政府鼓勵全科醫生之間相互競爭,而不是讓他們進行競賽,看誰的醫術高明。

44. D。猜測詞義題。前面提到醫生開藥方及給病人治療牙病需要收費,再結合but一詞可推斷兒童、孕婦等可享受免費治療。

45. D。細節理解題。根據最後一自然段最後一句可知。

閱讀理解【3】

Parents have to do much less for their children today than they used to do,and home has

become much less of a workshop. Clothes can be bought ready made; washing can go to the laundry; food can be bought; cooked,canned or preserved; bread is baked and delivered by the baker; milk arrives on the doorstep; meats can be had at the restaurant,the work’s canteen,and the school dining-room.

It is unusual now for father to pursue his trade or other employment at home,and his children rarely,if ever,see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore seldom trained to follow their father’s occupation,and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money,and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile areas it has long been customary for mothers to go out to work,but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now a not unusual factor in a child’s home life,the number of married women in employment having more than doubled in the last twenty-five years. With mother earning and his older children drawing substantial wages father is seldom the dominant figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works, economic advantages accrue,but children lose something of great value if mother’s employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school.

41. The writer mentions home as workshop because______.

A. fathers often pursue employment at home

B. parents had to make food and necessity themselves for their daily-life

A. in the past, home was more like a workshop

B. home is much more of a workshop now

D. home was less like a workshop in the past

答案:A。推理判斷題。解析:從第一句“Parents have to do much less for their children today than they used to do,and home become much less of a workshop.” 和下文所述可知,過去日常生活所需大部分都由自己做,“家”就如a workshop一樣

word“accrue”in the sentence“When ue,”is closest in meaning to __________________.

A. change B. dwindle C. double D. increase

答案:D。詞義猜測題。解析:從“When mother works, economic advantages accure.”可判斷出。
