Passage Three:Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.On June 17, 1744, the

officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the Six Nations. The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College. In a letter the next day the refused the offer as follows:

We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are convinced that you mean to do us good by your proposal; and we thank you heartily. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be offended if your ideas of this kind of education happen not t be the same as yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the northern provinces: they were taught all your sciences; but, when they came back to us, they were bad runners, ignorant of every means of living in the woods… they were totally good for nothing.

We are, however, not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send up a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them in all we know, and make men of them.

第31题:The passage is about ________.

A) the talk between the Indians and the officials

B) the colleges of northern provinces

C) the educational values of the Indians

D) the problems of the Americans in the mid-eighteenth century

Passage One Questions 11to 15 are based on the following passage. What impact can mobile phones have on their users’ health? Many people worry about the supposed ill effects caused by radiation from handsets and base stations, despite the lack of credible evidence of any harm. But evidence for the beneficial effects of mobile phones on health is rather more abundant. Indeed, a systematic review carried out by Rifat Atun and his colleagues at Imperial College, London, rounds up 150 examples of the use of text-messaging in the delivery of health care. These users fall into three categories: efficiency gains; public-health gains; and direct benefits to patients by incorporating text-messaging into treatment regimes. The study, funded by Vodafone, the world’s largest mobile operator, was published this week. Using texting to boost efficiency is not rocket science, but big savings can be achieved. Several trials carried out in England have found that the use of text-messaging reminders reduces the number of missed appointments with family doctors by 26%-39%, for example, and the number of missed hospital appointments by 33%-50%. If such schemes were rolled out nationally, this would translate into annual savings of 256 million to 364 million pounds. Text message are also being used to remind patients about blood tests, clinics, scans and dental appointments. Similar schemes in America, Norway and Sweden have had equally satisfying results—though the use of text-message reminders in the Netherlands, where non-attendance rates are low, at 4%, had no effect other than to annoy patients. Text message can also be a good way to disseminate(广泛传播) public-health information, particularly to groups who are hard to reach by other means, such as teenagers, or in developing countries where other means of communication are unavailable. Text messages have been used in India to inform people about the World Health Organization’s strategy to control tuberculosis, for example, and in Kenya, Nigeria and Mali to provide information about HIV and malaria. In Iraq, text messages were used to support a campaign to vaccinate nearly 5 million children against polio(小儿麻痹症). Finally, there are the uses of text-messaging as part of a treatment regime. These involve sending reminders to patients to take their medicine at the right time, or to encourage compliance(遵守) with exercise regimes or efforts to stop smoking. The evidence for the effectiveness of such schemes is generally anecdotal, however, notes Dr. Rifat. More quantitative research is needed—which is why his team published three papers this week looking at the use of mobile phones in health care in more detail. One of these papers, written in conjunction with Victoria Franklin and Stephen Greene of the University of Dundee, in Scotland, reports the results of a trial in which diabetic teenagers’ treatment was backed up with text-messaging. Q:We can infer from the study by Rifat Atun and his colleagues that____.

A、mobile phones have profound ill effects on people’s health

B、the relation between mobile phones and health is not proved

C、evidence for the beneficial effects of mobile phones on health is abundant

D、Vodafone is the world’s largest mobile operator

Questions 56-60are based onthe following passage.

Educators today are more and more oftenheard to say that computer literacy is absolutely necessary forcollegestudents. Many even argue that each incoming freshman should have permanentaccess to his or her ownmicrocomputer. What advantages do computers offer thecollege students?

Any student who has used a word processorwill know one compelling reason to use a computer: to writepapers. Although notall students feel comfortable composing on a word processor, most ,findrevising and editingmuch easier on it. One can alter, insert, or delete just bypressing a few keys, thus eliminating the need to rewrite orre-type.Furthermore, since the revision process is less burdensome, students are morelikely to revise as often as isnecessary to end up with the best paperpossible. For these reasons, many freshman English cottrses require the useof aword processor.

Computers are also useful in the contextof language courses, where they are used to drill students in basicskills.Software programs reinforce ESL(English as a Second Language .instruction, aswell as instrnction in French, German, Spanish, and other languages. By usingthese programs on a regular basis, students can improvetheir proficiency in alanguage while proceeding at their own pace.

Science students take advantage ofcomputers in many ways. Using computer graphic capabilities, forexample, botanystudents can represent and analyze different plant growth patterns. Medicalstudents can learn tointerpret computerized images of internal body structures.Physics students can complete complex calculations farmore quickly than theycould without the use of computer.

Similarly, business and accountingstudents find that computer spreadsheet programs are all but indispensabletomany aspects of their work, while students pursuing careers in graphic arts,marketing, and public relations find thatknowledge of computer graphic isimportant Education majors learn to develop grading systems usingcomputers,while social science students use computers for analyzing andgraphically displacing their research results.

It is no wonder, then, that educatorssupport the purchase and use of microcomputers by students. A Versatile tool, the computer can help students learn.And that is, after all, the reason for going to college.

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

Researchers have established that when people are mentally engaged, biochemical changes occur in the brain that allow it to act more effectively in cognitive areas such as attention and memory. This is true regardless of age.

People will be alert and receptive if they are faced with information that gets them to think about things they are interested in. And someone with a history of doing more rather than less will go into old age more cognitively sound than someone who has not had an active mind.

Many experts are so convinced of the benefits of challenging the brain that they are putting the theory to work in their own lives. “The idea is not necessarily to learn to memorize enormous amounts of information,” says James Fozard, associate director of the National Institute on Again. “Most of us don't need that kindof skill. Such specific training is of less interest than being able to maintain mental alertness.” Fozard and others say they challenge their brains with different mental skill, both because they enjoy them and because they are sure that their range of activities will help the way their brains work.

Gene Cohen, acting director of the same institute, suggests that people in their old age should engage in mental and physical activities individually as well as in groups. Cohen says that we are frequently advised to keep physically active as we age, but older people need to keep mentally active as well. Those who do are more likely to maintain their intellectual abilities and to be generally happier and better adjusted. “The point is, you need to do both,” Cohen says. “Intellectual activity actually influences brain-cell health and size.”

6. People who are cognitively healthy are those _______.

A、who can remember large amounts of information

B、who are highly intelligent

C、whose minds are alert and receptive

D、who are good at recognizing different sounds

7. According to Fozards argument people can make their brains work more efficiently by _______.

A、constantly doing memory work

B、taking part in various mental activities

C、going through specific training

D、making frequent adjustments

8. The findings of James and other scientists in their work _________.

A、remain a theory to further proved

B、have been challenged by many other experts

C、have been generally accepted

D、are practiced by the researchers themselves

9. Older people are generally advised to ___________.

A、keep fit by going in for physical activities

B、keep mentally active by challenges through specific training

C、maintain mental alertness through specific training

D、maintain a balance between individual and group activities

10. What is the passage mainly about?

A、How biochemical changes occur in the human brain.

B、Why people should keep active not only physically but also mentally.

C、How intellectual activities influence brain-cell health

D、Why people should receive special mental training as they age.

Questionsare based on the following passage:

Hillary Rodham Clinton released the first television spot of her Senate campaign this morn-ing, a 30-minute commercial that will begin airing statewide on Thursday. The spot, titled"First", uses numerous still photos to highlight landmarks in Mrs. Clinton' s career, while the voiceover says she is "more than a first lady. "

There is no mention of Mrs. Clinton' s rival for New York' s Senate seat, New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.

Clinton campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson said the ad was "positive" and "biographi-cal", instead of focusing on the first lady' s opponent.

Mrs. Clinton has previously aired radio ads, but has generally stayed with a strategy of mak-ing extensive campaign appearances instead of using television spots, while Giuliani has already run statewide TV ads.

First she became a lawyer, named one of the top hundred in America.

Her first cause was children, fighting abuse and chairing the board of the Children' s Defense Fund.

(76) Her first priority was public schools, helping to establish teacher testing. More than a first lady. For 30 years, she' s fought for children and families.

As New York' s senator, she' II fight for better schools and heath care for children.

Hillary. Put her to work for all of us.
