2、Questions are based on the following passage．
Hospitals, hoping to curb medical error, have invested heavily to put computers, smartphones and other devices into the hands of medical staff for instant access to patient data, drug information and case studies．
But like many cures, this solution has come with an unintended side effect: doctors and nurses can be focused on the screen and not the patient, even during moments of critical care． A poll showed that half of medical technicians had admitted texting during a procedure．
This phenomenon has set off an intensifying discussion at hospitals and medical schools about a problem perhaps best described as "distracted doctoring．" In response, some hospitals have begun limiting the use of electronic devices in critical settings, while schools have started reminding medical students to focus on patients instead of devices．
"You justify carrying devices around the hospital to do medical records, but you can surf the Internet or do Facebook, and sometimes Facebook is more tempting," said Dr． Peter Papadakos at the University of Rochester Medical Center．
"My gut feeling (本能的感觉is lives are in danger," said Dr． Papadakos． "We're not educating people about the problem, and it's getting worse．"
A survey of 439 medical technicians found that 55 percent of technicians who monitor bypass machines acknowledged that they had talked on cellphones during heart surgery． Half said they had texted while in surgery． The study concluded, "Such distractions have the potential to be disastrous．"
Medical professionals have always faced interruptions from cellphones, and multitasking is simply a fact of life for many medical jobs． What has changed, say doctors, especially younger ones, is that they face increasing pressure to interact with their devices．
The pressure stems from a mantra (信条) of modem medicine that patient care must be "data driven," and informed by the latest, instantly accessible information． By many accounts, the technology has helped reduce medical error by providing instant access to patient data or prescription details．
Dr． Peter Carmel, president of the American Medical Association, said technology "offers great potential in health care．" but he added that doctors' first priority should be with the patient．
Why do hospitals equip their staff with computers, smartphones and other devices?
A．To reduce medical error．
B．To cope with emergencies．
C．To facilitate administration．
D．To simplify medical procedures．

A．A notice by the electricity board.
B．Ads promoting electric appliances.
C．The description of a thief in disguise.
D．A new policy on pensioners' welfare.
4、Questions are based on the following passage.
Researchers have found that people’S mental abilities peak at 22 before beginning to deteriorate(恶化)just five years later. Professor Timothy Salthouse said the results suggesmd that therapies 36 to prevent or reverse agerelated conditions may need to start earlier，long before people become pensioners. Almost half of over 50s are“unaware of leading cause of blindness”. “Results converge on a 37 that some aspects of agerelated cognitive 38 begin in healthy，educated adults when they are in their 20s and 30s，”he said.
The study of 2，000 men and women 39 over seven years. The 40 , aged between 18～60，were asked to solve visual puzzles，recall words and story details and spot patterns in letters and symbols. Similar tests are often used to 41 mental disabilities and declines，including dementia(痴呆).
The research by the University of Virginia found that in nine out of 12 tests the average age at which the top performance was 42 was 22. The first age at which performance was 43 lower than the 44 scores which was 27 for three tests of reasoning，speed of thought and spatial visualization. Mereory was shown to decline from the average age of 37. In the other tests，poorer results were shown by the age of 42.
However，the report published in the academic journal Neurobiology of aging，found that abilities based on 45 knowledge，such as performance on tests of vocabulary or general information，increased until at the age of 60.

6、 回答题
When companies consider their benefits mix．coverage for medical care is often top．of-mind．Yet there may be another,even more powerful concern driving employee coverage preferences：vision care．Roughly 75%of adults in the United States require some type of vision correction．and 84 percent of adults believe that vision benefits are somewhat or very important to them．As a result．vision assistance is moving higher and higher on the list of sought．after employee benefits．
What’s driving the trend?One factor is the increasing power of eye examinations to detect systemic illness．In addition to identifying nearsightedness，farsightedness and astigmatism，routine eye exanls now play a role in diagnosing conditions such as diabetes，brain aneurysms(脑动脉瘤)，liver disease and stroke risk．
Early identification，in turn，translates into markedly lower expenditures for employers．In 2014，eye problems will cost companies an estimated$8 billion in reduced productivity．Making sure employees get the right eye care helps employers reduce these losses．At the same time，it boosts their ability to retain loyal workers．
So what’s the best way to get patients into the exam chair?One way is to provide a vision plan that lowers out-of-pocket(自已付费的)expenses．Indeed，research shows that out-of-pocket expense--not premiums--is the number-one factor employees consider when choosing a-vision plan．“And that’s just smart．”says independent insurance broker Shannon Enders．“Premiums make up only about 30 percent of total out．of-pocket expenses．So it pays to100k beyond the premium and see the real cost of a plan．”
A study conducted by Service Excellence Group Inc．，a leading market research company,shows how the right vision insurance plan can result in across—the-board(全面的)savings for employees．The study compared the prices customers with different insurance plans paid for the same popular pair of eyeglasses at independent doctors and retail chains．It found that customers with insurance plans that were most successful at keeping out-of-pocket expenses low saved hundreds of dollars．
With eyeglasses becoming as much of a fashion accessory(装饰品)as a vision aid，forward-thinking companies are beginning to take note．Enders says more of his clients are saying yes to vision care plans．“Employees care about their eyes，”he says．“And offering benefits packages with the features employees care most about will become an even more important corporate strategy going forward．”
What is the meaning of the last sentence of paragraph one?
A．Vision assistance is listed on the list of popular worker interests．
B．Vision assistance is becoming more and more popular among employees。
C．Vision assistance is considered as one of the employee benefits．
D．Vision assistance is the top concern of the employees．

9、水资源是人类的生命之源，人们的生存离不开水。中国是一个缺水严重的国家，人均可利用水资源量约为900立方米，并且分布极不均衡(extreme|y imba|anced)。到20世纪末，全国600多座城市中，已有400多个城市存在供水不足的问题，其中比较严重的缺水城市多达1 10个。中国是世界上用水多的国家，同时也是水资源浪费严重的国家。节约用水是每个人应尽的责任和义务。
10、古代丝绸之路(si| k Road)曾是中西陆路交通、文化交流的大动脉。远在公元前五世纪，中国丝绸就传到了希腊等遥远的西方国家。中华民族在绵延几千年为世界人民提供着绚美华贵(beaut i fu | and e | egant)的丝绸产品，为世界做出了巨大的贡献。丝绸之路，作为中国大西北的主要旅游路线，经过十几年的开发和建设，基础设施正在完善，已经成为中国诸多旅游产品中极具吸引力的一条主题线路。
