    请阅读短文。
    Do who choose to go on exotic, far-flung holidays deserve free health advice before they travel? And even if they pay, who ensures that they get good, up-to-date information? Who, for that matter, should collect that information in the first place? For a variety of reasons, travel medicine in Britain is a responsibility nobody wants. As a result, many travellers go abroad prepared to avoid serious disease.
    Why is travel medicine so unloved? Partly there's an identity problem. Because it takes an interest in anything that impinges on the health of travellers, this emerging medical specialism invariably cuts across the traditional disciplines. It delves into everything from seasickness, jet lag and the hazards of camels to malaria and plague. But travel medicine has a more serious obstacle to overcome. Travel clinics are meant to tell people how to avoid ending up dead or in a hospital when they come home, but it is notoriously difficult to get anybody pay out money for keeping people healthy.
    Travel medicine has also been colonized by commercial interests; the vast majority of travel clinics in Britain are run by airlines or travel companies. And while travel concerns are happy to sell profitable injections, they may be less keen to spread bad news about travellers' diarrhea in Turkey, or to take time to spell out preventive measures travellers could take."The NHS finds it difficult to define travellers' health, says Ron Behrens, the only NHS consultant in travel and director of the travel clinic of the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in London." Should it come within the NHS or should it be paid for? It's Gary area, and opinion is spilt. No one seems to have any responsibility for defining its role, he says.
    To compound its low status in the medical hierarchy, travel medicine has to rely on statistics that are patchy at best. In most cases we just don't know how many Britons contract diseases when abroad. And even if a disease linked to travel there is rarely any information about where those afflicted went, what they are, how they behaved, or which vaccinations they had. This shortage of hard facts and figures makes it difficult to give detailed advice to people, information that might even save their lives.
    A recent leader in British Medical Journal argued. "Travel medicine will emerge as credible disciplines only if the risks encountered by travellers and the relative benefits of public health interventions are well defined in terms of their relative occurrence, distribution and control. Exactly how much money is wasted by poor travel advice. The real figure is anybody's guess, but it could easily- run into millions. Behrens gives one example. Britain spends more than 1 million each year just on cholera vaccines that often don't work and so give people a false sense of security."Information on the prevention and treatment of all forms of diarrhea would be a better priority, he salts.

    What can we conclude from the last paragraph?

    A.Travel advices are not important.
    B.Travel medicine is hard to be credible.
    C.How to prevent and treat disease can actually help travel medicine popularize.
    D.People haven't realized the importance of travel medicine.

    答案:C
    解析:
    最后一段涉及《英国医疗日志》的一位新任领导的主张,事实上是他对旅行医疗的建议。他认为,人们把许多钱浪费在了可怜的旅行建议上,但那根本不起作用,应该在预防和治疗疾病的信息方面保持领先地位才能促进旅行医疗的发展。C项符合。

    Three Ways to Become More Creative

    Most people believe they don't have much imagination.They are wrong. Everyone has imagination,but
    most of us,once we become adults,forget how to access it.Creativity isn't always connected with great works
    of art or ideas.People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems.Maybe
    you have a goal to achieve,a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind!Here are three
    techniques to help you.
    This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First,think about
    the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do.Then find an image,word,idea or object,for exam-
    ple,a candle.Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles:light,fire,matches,wax,night,silence,
    etc.Think of as many as you can.The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do.So imagine
    you want to buy a friend an original present,you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the
    night.
    Imagine that normal limitations don't exist.You have as much time/space/money,etc.as you want.
    Think about your goal and the new possibilities.If,for example,your goal is to learn to ski,you can now prac-
    tice skiing every day of your life(because you have the time and the money).Now adapt this to reality.May-
    be you can practice skiing every day in December,or every Monday in January.
    Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators(谈判者)use this technique in
    business,and so do wnters.Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books.They ask
    questions:What does this character want?Why can't she get it?What changes must she make to get what
    she wants?What does she dream about?If your goal involves other people,put yourself" in their shoes".The
    best fishermen think like fish!

    According to the passage,when we become adults_________.
    A:we can still learn to be more creative
    B:most of us are no longer creative
    C: we are not as imaginative as children
    D:we are unwilling to be creative

    答案:A
    解析:
    由第一段第二句“They are wrong”可知,成年人也有想象力,且由该段最后一句中的“...help you”可知,成年人可以学习发挥想象力。
    由第二段第四句“Write down all the ideas/words associated with...”可知选D。
    由第三段第三句“Think about your goal and the new possibilities.”可知选C。
    put yourself in sb's shoes是固定搭配,意为“设身处地”,故选C。
    第三个技巧是:设身处地地站在别人的角度上看问题。故销售员应考虑顾客所需的。第5部分:补全短文

  • 第4题:

    There are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who have travelled to the places. Or you can go and see a colour film. Or you can read travel books.
    It would seem that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective (主观的) account of travels which the author has actually made himself, if they are informative and have a good index (索引), then they can be useful to you when you are planning your travels. The second kind are those books whose purpose is to give a purely objective (客观的)description of things to be done and seen. If a well-read, cultured person has written such a book, then it is even more useful. It can be sorted as a selected guide book. The third kind are those books which are called "a guide" to some place or other. If they are good, they will, in addition to their factual information, give an analysis or an explanation. Like the first kind they can be inspiring and interesting. But their basic purpose is to help the reader who wishes to plan in the most practical way.
    Whatever kind of travel book you choose you must make sure that it does not describe everything as "wonderful", "excellent" or "magical". You must also note its date of publication because travel is a very practical affair and many things change quickly in the twenty-first century. Finally, you should make sure that the contents are well presented and easy to find.This passage is about ().

It delves into everything from seasickness,jet lag and the hazards of camels to malaria and plague. But travel medicine has a more serious obstacle to overcome. Travel clinics are meant to tell people how to avoid ending up dead or in a hospital when they come home,but it is notoriously difficult to get anybody pay out money for keeping people healthy.Travel medicine has also been colonized by commercial interests; the vast majority of travel clinics in Britain are run by airlines or travel companies. And while travel concerns are happy to sell profitable injections, they may be less keen to spread bad news about travellers' diarrhea in Turkey, or to take time to spell out preventive measures travellers could take.The NHS finds it difficult to define travellers' health,says Ron Behrens,the only NHS consultant in travel and director of the travel clinic of the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in London.Should it come within the NHS or should it be paid for?It's Gary area, and opinion is spilt. No one seems to have any responsibility for defining its role,he says.To compound its low status in the medical hierarchy, travel medicine has to rely on statistics that are patchy at best. In most cases we just don't know how many Britons contract diseases when abroad. And even if a disease linked to travel there is rarely any information about where those afflicted went, what they are, how they behaved, or which vaccinations they had. This shortage of hard facts and figures makes it difficult to give detailed advice to people, information that might even save their lives.A recent leader in British Medical Journal argued.Travel medicine will emerge as credible disciplines only if the risks encountered by travellers and the relative benefits of public health interventions are well defined in terms of their relative occurrence, distribution and control.Exactly how much money is wasted by poor travel advice. The real figure is anybody's guess, but it could easily run into millions. Behrens gives one example. Britain spends more than £ 1 million each year just on cholera vaccines that often don't work and so give people a false sense of security.Information on the prevention and treatment of all forms of diarrhea would be a better priority, he says.What can we infer from the first paragraph?

    问答题
    Directions:Please write an essay in about 150 words entitled “To Travel or Not” based on the following outline1) People who like traveling have their reasons. 2) Those who dislike traveling have their reasons. 3) In my opinion, traveling does more good than harm.

    正确答案:
    To Travel or Not Traveling has become a hot topic recently especially after too long a time of working or staying at home. People who like traveling believe that traveling is a learning experience which can expand their scope of knowledge, especially geographical and historical learning. And it is also a kind of relaxation good to their health. Free from office work or housework, people can enjoy a pleasant journey with delicious food, beautiful landscape, folk culture and fresh air, etc. Moreover, in terms of economic benefits, traveling can boost tourism, which is a multibillion-dollar industry that supports economic development of a country.
    Those who dislike traveling think that traveling wastes a considerable amount of time, money and energy. For example, traffic and accommodation require money and walking while seeing sights often tires you. What’s more, they argue that traveling can increase the chance of being infected with some diseases and can cause damage to local environment and culture.
    For me, I prefer traveling because traveling does more good than harm in practice. After a long time of working and studying, people need relaxation and traveling is the best choice. In an environment free from all kinds of routines, you will feel all the more relaxed and feel brimful of energy when you return to work or home.
