[简答题]It is obvious that there is a great deal of difference between being international and being cosmopolitan. All good men are international. Nearly all bad men are cosmopolitan. If we are to be international we must be national. And it is largely because those who call themselves the friends of peace have not dwelt sufficienfiy on this distinction that they do not impress the bulk of any of the nations to which they belong. International peace means a peace between nations, not a peace after the destruction of nations. And in the case of national character this can be seen in a curious way. It will generally be found, I think, that the more a man really appreciates and admires the soul of another people the less he will attempt to imitate it; he will be conscious that there is something in it too deep and too unmanageable to imitate.

[单项选择]There is a great deal of geographical variation in the frequency of many surgical procedures—up to tenfold variation per hundred thousand between different areas in the numbers of hysterectomies, prostatectomies, and tonsillectomies. To support a conclusion that much of the variation is due to unnecessary surgical procedures, it would be most important to establish which of the following
A. A local board of review at each hospital examines the records of every operation to determine whether the surgical procedure was necessary.
B. The variation is unrelated to factors (other than the surgical procedures themselves) that influence the incidence of diseases for which surgery might be considered.
C. There are several categories of surgical procedure (other than hysterectomies, prostatectomies, and tonsillectomies) that are often performed unnecessarily.
D. For certain surgical procedures, it is difficult to determine after the operation whether the procedures were necessary or whether alternative treatment would have succeeded.
E. (E) With respect to how often they are performed unnecessarily, hysterectomies, prostatectomies, and tonsillectomies are representative of surgical procedures in general.

There are three kinds of influenza virus, known as A, B and C. Influenza C virus is relatively stable and causes mild (38) that do not spread far through the population. The A and B types are (39) , and are responsible for the epidemics that cause frequent concern. Following any virus attack, the human body builds up antibodies which confer (给予) immunity to that strain of virus, but a virus with the capacity to change its character is able to bypass this (40) . Variability is less developed in the influenza B virus, which affects only human beings. An influenza B virus may cause a widespread but will have little effect if (41) into the same community soon afterwards, since nearly everyone will have built up
