6、, altogether 40%)Directions: There are 4 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A., B., C., and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with

7、 a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.How do you pay for things? Do you usually use cash, or do you like to pay by credit card? If you are like a lot of people, you probably have at least one credit card. Also, you might used it more often t

8、han you probably should. Credit cards first became popular in 1920s. At that time, businesses, such as hotels and companies, gave credit cards to their best customers. Unlike todays credit cards, customers could only use those cards at the store or business that gave out the card. Customers had to p

9、ay for things in full. They couldnt pay for something a little at a time. In 1950s, a businessman named MeNamara started a credit card company Diners Club. Unlike earlier credit cards, this card could be used by customers at many restaurants. Customers liked the card because they didnt have to carry

10、 a lot of cash with them. Restaurant owners liked the card, too. Why? They found out that customers usually spent more money when they could pay by credit card. In its first year of business, Diner Club issued 200 cards. The customers who got the cards from the Diners Club could use them at 27 diffe

11、rent restaurants. Today, Diners Club has about 8 million customers, and they can use their cards in over 7.6million businesses in more than 200 countries. 1.When the credit card became popular? A.

A. part of the development of credit cardsB. how to use cashC. the number of people who use credit cards in the couldD. how credit cards help businessmen Passage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following p

14、assage.Millions of people in the Himalayas are in danger of massive earthquakes, according to scientists in the US and India. They say great earthquakes are the only release for stress that has been building within the Earths crust along the southern edge of the Himalayas for decades. This region ha

15、s been struck with large earthquakes every few decades since the early nineteenth century. The fault lines have been silent since 1950, when the biggest earthquake within a single continent in recorded history shook Assam. But the pressure has been mounting. Portions of the Himalayan region have bee

16、n inactive for possibly several centuries. If earthquakes happen in these areas, they could be catastrophic. Working from the human cost of earlier earthquakes in the light of todays population numbers, Bilhams team estimates 200,000 people could be killed in a single earthquake. However, if it happ

17、ened near one of the huge cities on the Ganges Plain, they believe fatalities could be ten times greater. The region south of the Himalayas is earthquake-prone because the Indian sub-continent is colliding with the Eurasian plate to the north. This process started at least 50 million years ago, crea

18、ting the mountain range and the Qingzang Gaoyuan. At the point where the two plates converge, the Indian one plunges below the Eurasian. As the plates push together, pressure builds, until the Indian plate rolls suddenly downwards, sending a great earthquake reechoing across hundreds of kilometers.

19、The convergence of the two plates is relatively rapidabout two centimeters a year. Many regions of the central Himalayas now have at least four meters of convergence, which would cause a great earthquake when released. This amount of slip is believed to have occurred in the great earthquake of 1934

20、that hit the region of Bihar, India, and western Nepal. In some areas, where earthquakes have not relaxed the stressed crust for much longer, a slip of as much as 10 meters could be waiting to happen, which would cause an earthquake larger than any seen in the twentieth century.6. The main topic of

21、this passage is _.A. the biggest earthquakes in AsiaB. the work done by earthquake researchersC. one great earthquake in AsiaD. a potential danger to the Himalayan region7. How many people would be killed if an earthquake occurred near a big city on the Ganges Plain? _ A. 20,000. B. 200,000. C. 20,0

22、00,000. D. 2,000,000.8. The word “earthquake-prone” (underlined in Paragraph 4) may refer to the state that earthquake are _. A. inclined to happen B. impossible to predict C. beyond prevention D. out of control9. The Qingzang Gaoyuan was the result of _. A. the earthquake reechoing across hundreds

23、of kilometersB. the convergence of Himalayas and the region of Bihar, India, and western Nepal C. the colliding between the Eurasian plate and the Indian sub-continentD. at least four meters of convergence10. It can be inferred from the passage that _. A. the largest earthquakes occurred in the 20th

24、 centuryB. more meters of slip lead to earthquakes that are more powerful C. the region of Bihar, India, and western Nepal faces the greatest danger of earthquakesD. 10 meters of slip should be made so we can relieve pressurePassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.While ca

25、ring for terminally ill patients can be rewarding, it can also be discouraging. Families provide the majority of care, even nursing services, without training or support. According to a groundbreaking study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the majority of care for the terminally ill

26、 is provided by female family members, not professional health care providers. “Women are doubly affected by the need for care at the end of life. Almost three quarters of all care for dying patients was provided by women. At the same time, women who needed care received less assistance from family

27、members than men and were more likely to have to pay for assistance. ” Charles Halper said, “This study highlights large burdens being borne by unpaid, often untrained family caregivers. We need to assure that these caregivers are suitably trained and supported. We also need to integrate effective p

28、aid caregivers into care for the terminally ill. Since the poor and elderly are among those who rely most on paid caregiving, we must protect policies that help pay for this essential care at the end of life.” The study also found the amount of volunteer assistance provided to terminally ill patient

29、s is negligible. Only 4% of patients had non-relatives as their primary caregivers, and less than 3% of patients who needed care reported that they received volunteer assistance. Another study found significant support could come in simple ways. The Annals of Internal Medicine found that people who

30、care for terminally ill patients say that they feel less depressed and better able to cope with their lives when they can talk to a doctor who simply listens to their problems and their concerns about their loved ones. The study was the first to show that empathetic doctors can help reduce the enormous emotional burdens shouldered by caregivers. This study indicates that doctors have a critical role to pla
