第5题：
Questions 95-98 refer to the following advertisement.
As the number of new infections and deaths rise in the Ebola outbreak, fear and suspicion in rising, too, making a more difficult for health care workers to get the sick into hospitals, even as increasingly angry crowds are calling for more government action.
The growing chaos caused by this current Ebola outbreak, which is already the worst on record with more than 1,300 infected and 700 dead in three countries in West Africa, was witnessed in a low income community in the Bushrod Island area of Monrovia.
The community members had called the Health
Ministry to come pick up the body of a man who had been dead in his home since Thursday. Late Friday or early Saturday, a woman had died in the same neighborhood, and she was also still in her home. Both were suspected Ebola deaths, and the protesters were saying that the government should remove them.
A man in the crowd said that since they called the government on Thursday, workers had come to examine the scene, but they had not returned. He said that if the government did not respond to the request of community members to remove the bodies, there would be serious consequences.
What did the author say about the two deaths in the community where there was growing chaos?A. They were suspected Ebola deaths.
B. They were removed by the government.
C. They were confirmed Ebola deaths.
D. They were removed by neighbors.答案：A解析：细节题。文章第三段最后部分提到“Both were suspected Ebola deaths”，故选A。而从最后一段可知，政府来检查后并没有移除尸体，也不知具体的检测结果，所以B、C、D 项都排除。 -
第6题：
Rats and other animals need to be highly at tuned to social signals from others so that can identify friends to cooperate with and enemies to avoid.To find out if this extends to non-living beings,Loleh Quinn at the University of California,San Diego,and her colleagues tested whether rats can detect social signals form robotic rats.They housed eight adult rats with two types of robotic rat-one social and one asocial一for 5 our days.The robots rats were quite minimalist,resembling a chunkier version of a computer mouse with wheels-to move around and colorful markings.During the experiment,the social robot rat followed the living rats around,played with the same toys,and opened caged doors to let trapped rats escape.Meanwhile,the asocial robot simply moved forwards and backwards and side to side Next,the researchers trapped the robots in cages and gave the rats the opportunity to release them by pressing a lever.Across 18 trials each,the living rats were 52 percent more likely on average to set the social robot free than the asocial one.This suggests that the rats perceived the social robot as a genuine social being.They may have bonded more with the social robot because it displayed behaviours like communal exploring and playing.This could lead to the rats better remembering having freed it earlier,and wanting the robot to return the favour when they get trapped,says Quinn.The readiness of the rats to befriend the social robot was surprising given its minimal design.The robot was the same size as a regular rat but resembled a simple plastic box on wheels.“We'd assumed we'd have to give it a moving head and tail,facial features,and put a scene on it to make it smell like a real rat,but that wasn’t necessary,”says Janet Wiles at the University of Queensland in Australia,who helped with the research.The finding shows how sensitive rats are to social cues,even when they come from basic robots.Similarly,children tend to treat robots as if they are fellow beings,even when they display only simple social signals.“We humans seem to be fascinated by robots,and it turns out other animals are too,”says Wiles.
It can be learned from the text that rats________A.appear to be adaptable to new surroundings
B.are more socially active than other animals
C.behave differently from children in socializing
D.are more sensitive to social cues than expected答案：D解析：本题目为推断题，考察基于全文主旨进行推断。题干并没有具体关键词，因此需要通过选项回到文中逐一对应。正确答案D are more sensitive to social cues than expected对社交线索比预期更敏感，与原文尾段首句The finding shows how sensitive rats are to social cues,even when they come from basic robots.（这一发现显示了老鼠对社交暗示的敏感程度，即使是来自基本机器老鼠的社交暗示）属于类似表达。选项A的appear to be adaptable to new surroundings似乎能适应新环境，在文中并未提及，属于无中生有。选项B的are more socially active than other animals比其他动物更活跃，文中只提到其他动物也一样会对机器人着迷，属于偷换概念。干扰项C的behave differently from children in socializing在社交活动中表现得与孩子不同，与原文内容相反，原文内容指的是孩子们倾向于把机器人当作人来对待，即使他们只显示简单的社会信号。这一点与老鼠是一样的，属于正反混淆。 -

问答题Writing Task II (20 points) Directions: Write a composition of no less than about 160 words, saying whether you agree or disagree with the following statement and giving examples: The biggest dangers to our health and environment come from cars. Remember to write your composition on the Answer Sheet.正确答案：
There is an argument that the biggest dangers to our health and environment come from cars. Some people may agree with this, while others may disagree. In my opinion, I don’t think the situation is true.
Firs of all, car brings much convenience to our life. Nowadays, with the fast development of China’s economy and China’s entry into the WTO, each year, there is an increasing number of cars on the roads as millions of new cars are produced. Many Chinese people who live in big cities, to a large extent, rely on cars to go to work every day. Without cars those people will have a lot of trouble going to work.
Secondly, although cars have many drawbacks, there are always many solutions to those problems. One way to get rid of the polluted air is to produce green cars without pollution. Another way is to replace car engines with something else. Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars.
Thirdly, cars do post some dangers on our health and the environment, but they are not the biggest cause. Dangers come from many aspects, such as factories or hospitals producing many toxin gas or dumping poisonous water into river.
In sum, on the one hand, we should take measure to resolve the problems; on the other hand, we could also use the scientific and technical productions.

Part B
Directions: In the following article, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 41—45, choose the most suitable one from the list A—G to fit into each of the numbered blank. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the gaps. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET I. ( 10 points)
41)____________Many of the options have already been rehearsed in the press: excluding some treatments from the NHS, charging for certain drugs and services, and developing voluntary or compulsory health insurance schemes.
42)____________We spend about 7 per cent of GDP on health, compared with 9 per cent in the Netherlands and 10 per cent in France and Germany. In terms of health outcomes versus spend, we compare pretty favourably.
I don' t see private health care providing much of the solution to current problems. 43)____________Neither is close to being implemented, but the future could see a deliberate shift of attention to voluntary health insurance and an emphasis on social insurance.
44)____________Even so, higher taxes will plainly be needed to fund health care. I think we'll eventually see larger NHS charges, more rationing of medical services and restrictions on certain procedures without proven outcomes. Stricter eligibility criteria for certain treatments are another possibility.
45)____________.None of them is going to win votes for the political party desperate enough to introduce them—but then nobody is going to vote for ill—health or an early death either.
[A] English National Health Service is a universal health keeping system. But Now, the shortage of money becomes a serious problem.
[B] All such options would mean a sharp break with tradition and political fall out that could be extremely damaging.
[C] The options provides solution to the shortage of money problem.
[D] I expect individuals to take greater responsibility for their personal health using technology that allows self diag-nosis followed by serf- treatment or home care.
[E] Looking at how far we' 11 be able to fund the Health Service in the 21st century raises any number of thorny is- sues.
[F] More likely is a shift from universal health coverage to top up schemes which give people basic health entitlements but require them to finance other treatment through private financing, or opt out schemes which use tax relief to encourage individuals to make private provision.
[G] Compared to its European Union counterparts Britain. operates a low cost health system.
