[单项选择] Passage One
Most people think of lions as strictly
African beasts, but only because they’ve been killed off almost everywhere else.
Ten thousand years ago lions spanned vast sections of the globe. Now lions hold
only a small fraction of their former habitat, and Asiatic lions, a subspecies
that spit from African lions perhaps 100 000 years ago, hang on to an almost
impossibly small slice of their former territory.
India is the
proud steward of these 300 or so lions, which live primarily in a
S60-square-mile sanctuary (保护区). It took me a year and a half to get a permit to
explore the entire Gir Forest-and no time at all to see why these lions became
symbols of royalty and greatness. A tiger will hide in the forest unseen, but a
lion stands its ground, curious and unafraid-lionhearted. Though they told mc in
subtle ways when I got too close,
A. have killed off other lions
B. have descended from African lions
C. used to span vast sections of the globe
D. have lost their habitat

Most people don’t enjoy facing the
difficult situations that sometimes occur with coworkers in the workplace. Such
situations may arise from honest disagreements over design or engineering
issues, personnel or benefits matters, management decisions or actions, or from
any other situation where human impressions and objectives differ.
There could be double trouble for engineers who are more likely to feel at
home with electrons and {{I}}bytes{{/I}} (信息组), and behave in highly predictable
ways, than with coworkers, who often appear arbitrary and unpredictable. For
those of us who have internalized the strict and measurable rules of the
physical world, dealing with other people can be both disappointing and
frustrating.
Yet how you manage situations of conflict with your
coworkers could have a significant impact o
A. can be more difficult for engineers
B. is the key to success in the workplace
C. leads to the development of effective relationships
D. prevents workers from working for the common good
[单项选择] Passage Three
Most people would be impressed by the
high quality of medicine available to most Americans. There is a lot of
specialization, a great deal of attention to the individual, a vast amount of
advanced technical equipment, and intense effort not to make mistakes because of
the financial risk which doctors and hospitals must face in the courts if they
handle things badly.
But the Americans are in a mess. The
problem is the way in which health care is organized and financed. Contrary to
public belief, it is not just a free competition system. To the private system
has been joined a large public system, because private care was simply not
looking after the less fortunate and the elderly.
But even with
this huge public part of the system, which this year will eat up 84.5 billion
dollars—more than 10 percent of the U.S. budget—large
A. they fear to be sued by the patients
B. they care much about their reputation
C. they compete for getting more patients
D. they wish to join the private medical system
