Passage 2 Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
How men first learned to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters we call words.
The power of words, then, lies in their combinations — the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and feelings. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary (文字的) style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and rude.
第6题:The origin of language ________.
A. is reflected in sounds and letters B. is handed down from generation to generation C. dates back to the prehistoric period D. is a problem not yet solved
But the Americans are in a mess. The problem is the way in which health care is organized and financed. Contrary to public belief, it is not just a free competition system. To the private system has been joined a large public system, because private care was simply not looking after the less fortunate and the elderly.
But even with this huge public part of the system, which this year will eat up 84.5 billion dollars—more than 10 percent of the U.S. budget—large numbers of Americans are left out. These include about half the 11 million unemployed and those who fail to meet the strict limits on income fixed by a government trying to make savings where it can.
The basic problem, however, is that there is no central control over the health system. There is no limit to what doctors and hospitals charge for their services, other than what the public is able to pay. The number of doctors has shot up and prices have climbed. When faced with toothache, a sick child, or a heart attack, all the unfortunate person concerned can do is pay up.
Two-thirds of the population are covered by medical insurance. Doctors charge as much as they want knowing that the insurance company will pay the bill.
The medical profession has as a result become America's new big businessmen. The average income of doctors has now reached $100,000 a year. With such vast incomes the talk in the doctor's surgery is as likely to be about the doctor's latest financial deal, as about whether the minor operation he is recommending at several thousand dollars is entirely necessary.
The rising cost of medicine in the U.S.A. is among the most worrying problem facing the country. In 1981 the country's health cost climbed 15.9 percent—about twice as fast as prices in general.
In the U.S. patients can expect, in medical treatment, ______.
A.occasional mistakes by careless doctors
B.a great deal of personal attention
C.low charge by doctors and hospitals
D.stacking nurses and bad services
Cell phones operate with radio frequencies,a form. of energy located on the electromagnetic spectrum between FM radio waves and the waves used in microwave ovens,radar,and satellite stations.Cell phones do not emit ionizing radiation,the type that damages DNA and is known to have the ability to cause cancer.
Cell phone technology works on a system of geographically separated zones called"cells".Each cell has its own "base station" that both receives and emits radio waves.When a call is placed from a cell phone,a signal is sent from the cell phone antenna to that cell's base station antenna.The base station responds to the cell phone signal by assigning the phone an available RF channel.When the RF channel is assigned,radio signals are simultaneously received and transmitted,allowing voice information to be carried between the cell phone and the base.The base station transfers the call to a switching centre, where the call can be transferred to a local telephone carrier or another cell phone.
6.There has existed argument about the link between cell phone and brain tumor()
7.The rapid growing number of cell phone users has been a great concern in the US()
8.The 3rd paragraph tries to prove that cell phones do not cause brain cancer()
9.A switching centre is needed when we make a call through cell phone()
10.The topic of the passage is about cell phone and cancer.()
