Proper records are just not kept.We know that more than 850,000 children go through hospital each year, and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education while in hospital.Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital teaching available differ a great deal across the country. It is found that half of the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher. A further quarter has only a part-time teacher. The special childrens hospitals in major cities do best; general hospitals on the country and holiday areas are worst off.From this survey, one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some contact with a hospital teacher and that contact may be as little as two hours a day. Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all. They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school. If there was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do math or number work; without a teacher they would only play games.Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied, and the latter is often all the teacher can do. The position and influence of many teachers was summed up when parents referred to them as the library lady or just the helper.Children tend to rely on intimate school friends to keep in touch with school work. Once back at school, children rarely get extra teaching, and are told to catch up as best as they can.Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly. But schools do very little to ease the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed.60Which of the following statements is true?A. Every child in hospital receives some teaching.B. Not enough is known about hospital teaching.C. Hospital teaching is of poor quality.D. The special childrens hospitals are worst off.61It can be inferred from the latest survey that_.A. hospital teaching across the country is similarB. each hospital has at least one part-time teacherC. all hospitals surveyed offer education to childrenD. only one-fourth of the hospital have full-time teacher http:/www.ks5u.com/Blog/?UserId=99760962In order to catch up with their school work, children in hospital usually turn to_.A. hospital teachers B. schoolmates C. parents D. school teachers63We can conclude from the passage that the author is_.A. unfavorable towards children receiving education in hospitalsB. in favor of the present state of teaching in hospitalsC. unsatisfied with the present state of hospital teachingD. satisfied with the results of the latest surveyCA single night of taking the drug Ecstasy(摇头丸)can cause serious brain damage and speed up the start of Parkinsons disease, scientists say. Just two to three Ecstasy tablets-a quantity that thousands of clubbers take during parties- can permanently destroy brain cells that affect movement and reasoning, according to American research that links the drug to Parkinsons for the first time.A study by a team at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, involving squirrel monkeys and baboons(狒狒)found that both species suffered permanent damage to key cells called dopamine neurons, which are lost in Parkinsons, after receiving three low doses of Ecstasy at three-hour periods.The study is particularly significant because baboons are one of the best animal models for the human brain. George Ricaurte, who led the research, said that widespread abuse of the drug may already be claiming victims of such neurological(神经性的)damage. “The most troubling result is that young adults using Ecstasy may be increasing their risk for developing Parkinsonism as they get older.”Alan Leshner, a former director of the US National Institute on Drug Abuse, said: “This study emphasizes the multi-aspect damage that Ecstasy can do to users. Weve long known that repeated use damages brain cells. This study shows that even very occasional use can have long-lasting effects on many different brain systems. It sends an important message to young people: dont experiment with your own brain.”Janet Betts, the Essex mother whose daughter Leah died after a single Ecstasy tablet in 1995, said: “This comes as no surprise. People cant see the effects at first, and theyre in permanent denial(否认), saying its not going to happen to them. But well see the symptoms later, just as we have with smoking.”64The article is intended to .A. explain the effects of the drug Ecstasy on many different brain systemsB. warn youngsters of the risk of taking the drug EcstasyC. convince people of the abuse of the drug EcstasyD. tell us the links between the drug Ecstasy and Parkinsons disease65According to the passage, Parkinsons is .A. the name of a scientist B. a kind of brain cell C. be name of an animal D. a kind of disease66We know from the passage that low doses of Ecstasy .A. wont cause serious brain damageB. can permanently destroy ones brain cellsC. cant show any effect in an experimentD. may bring on Parkinsons at once67Why are squirrel monkeys and baboons involved in the experiments?A. Because their brain is similar to human beingsB. Because these animals usually take drugs. http:/www.ks5u.com/Blog/?UserId=997609C. Because these animals will soon get well after the experiment.D. Because there is a model in the animals brains.DThe days when the management in Western companies presented gold watches to long-serving employees to thank them for loyal(忠诚的)service is now just a memory, says the Educational and Training Support Agency.This new development in the shape and movement of the workforce throughout Western businesses is partly a result of the way that layers of middle management are being removed, leaving more workers responsible for their own development.Having workers take responsibility for their own development might be dramatic, but it is now the rule, says the Educational and Training Support Agency.Today, not only are workers more mobile, they have to run to keep up with changes, says the Government-founded agency. It is no longer enough for a worker to gain a set of skills. Workers need the ability to react and get used to changes This new system is also being pushed along by the way that industry is looking to its workers to renew their own skills. In the United States, some companies have contracts(合同) which repair their employees to show regularly how they have their skills up to date.Contrary to this traditions of the past, employees in the West are now looking for autonomous learners as recruits, people who can develop their own continuing education beyond the school and university system. At the same time, businesses are developing the capacity for workers to take up autonomous learning on site in workplace, so that the skills and abilities of all workers in a business continue to improve and increase. This, of course, says business theory, will also improve the productivity(生产率) of the workers and therefore the profits of the company.68The management in western companies no longer presents gold watches to their employees because _.Athey are not loyal to companiesBthere is some to replace gold watchesCthe way prove to be a failureDsetting down with a company for life is very rare for most employees now69The western workforce frequently changes their jobs partly because _.Ahoping from job to job has become a new trendBemployees are expecting to have more experiences in their lifeCworkers have to take more responsibility for themselvesDit is easy to complete themselves by doing so70The passage seems to suggest that the present situation in society requires that workers should_.Ashow more loyalty to their companiesBtry to develop the skill to deal with the unfamiliar and the unknownCgain as many as sets of skills as possibleDbe quick in changing their careers if there is the possibility71The phraseautonom0us learner in the last paragraph means _Apeople who have received higher educationBpeople who study hard themselvesCpeople who learn things very quicklyDpeople who continue their study beyond regular educationEBeauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisers give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer to attractive defendants. But in the executive(行政的)circle, beauty can become a liability. While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder，it is negative to a woman.Handsome male executives were considered as having most honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success.Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.Why are attractive women not thought to be able?An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine and an attractive man more manly than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the “manly” qualities required. This is true even in politics.72 The underlined word “liability”(Para 1) may be replaced with _.A. disadvantage B. strength C. wealth D. uselessness73In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness _.A. makes women look more honest and capableB. often provides women a happier lifeC. may be a kind of shortcoming for womenD. often enables women to succeed more easily74It can be inferred from the passage that peoples view on beauty is often _.A. selfish B. reasonable C. modern D. one-sided75 Following the end of the passage, what will be written about?A. the disadvantage of attractiveness for men in another fieldB. the advantage of attractiveness for women in another fieldC. the disadvantage of attractiveness for women in another fieldD. the advantage of attractiveness for men in another field第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分35分）第一节： 根据所给句子的意思，填上合适的单词，并注意其正确形式。首字母已给出。（共10小题; 每小题1分，满分10分）_76.
