following passage:In the past,operations were difficult.Until the middle of the eighteen fifti es,surgery was very dangerous.Many patients died after even the smallest ope rations.This was because bacter ia entered the cuts in the patients’bodied and started infection.In some countries,up to90percent of patients died from inf ection afteroperations.In1865,however,Joseph Lister,a British surgeon,fou nd an answer to the problem.He used an“antiseptic”during and after operati ons.This killed the dangerous bacteria and most of his patients lived.Since th en,surgeons have used antiseptics in all operations.Surgery has developed in many important ways since the day of Joseph Lister.Today,when patients go to hospital for an operation,they can expect the best treatment,in clean and hygienic conditions.33.Operations were difficult and dangerous until_______.A.1850B.the middle of1850C.the middle of the fifties of the eighteenth centuryD.the middle of the fifties of the nineteenth

studying for thei r M.D.s abroad.Many were rejected by U.S.medical schools simply because there was no st year,for example,some13,000of35,000would-be ph ysicians who applied to U.S.schools were accepted.Of those who were turned down,well over600are trying the foreign route.But gaining admittance to a good foreign school may be a problem.British medical schools give priority to Britons,and Canada’s world-renowned McGill University School of Medicine takes only a handful of well qualified American s annually.But several schools do welcome U.S.medical students---if they can master the local language.More than500Americans are enrolled in the Belgian universities at Brussels and Louvain,for example.So me800attend the Italian University at Bologna;175at Rome.Mexico’s Autonomous University of Guad alajara numbers1,300gringos among its4,000students.Despite difficulties abroad,many Americans complete their medical educatio ns,and manage to win the respect of their professors and classmates.One secon d-year student at Louvain has a simple explanation for those successes:“Anyon e who comes here to be motivated.You have to learn a new language,the sch ool is constant hard work,and it’s difficult to get back in to the States to practi ce”.Before they can intern or practice in the United States,graduates of foreign schools must pass a special examination required by medical-education authoriti es.The tough test is designed primarily to weed out those who are unable to s peak English or whose medical education is not up to U.S.standards.38.Which of the following

countries first.B.To enter foreign medical schools is much easier than to gain admittance into American medical schools if the problem of language is not regarded.C.There are not many good foreign medical schools according to Ameri can studentsD.There are so many difficulties in studying abroad that not many American students become successful in foreign medical schools40.Which of the following is one of the difficulties the American students at foreign,medical schools have to face.A.Living and medical conditions in foreign countries are not so good a s those in America.B.There is racial discrimination against them.C.They are given no opportunities to practice at local places.D.They are treated the same as foreign physicians and medical school graduates when trying to go back to

Mexicans42.Which of the following can be the title of this passage?A.Foreign Medical Schools.B.Life at Foreign Medical School sC.The toughForeign Route.

Different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses b ecause of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945 , government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the pack aging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give pen icillin to beef and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in th e milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals n ot for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply try ing to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Alth ough the Food and Drug Administration (FDA has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue. 48. What is the main topic of the passage?A. Food and our health C. Food and cancer B Food and additives D Food and culture 49 All of the following statements are true EXCEPT_______. A Forty percent of cancer is caused by problems related to food. B Researchers have known about the potential danger of food additives for many years C. We eat some of the food additives directly and some indirectly D Drugs are always given to animals for medicinal purposes 50.Why do farmers give drugs to their animals? A. to speed up the growth of animals animals fatter C to make the animals’ meat fit to eat nimals’ meat rich in nutrients 51. It can be inferred from the passage that_________. A scientist have made all the food fit to eat B only in recent year s have people found that the food is related to on e’s illness C all kinds of cancer are related to the diet D some additives are harmful to our health 52. The word “ this” in the second sentence of paragraph 2 most probably refers to __________. 11 / 14 D To make the a B To make theA farmerB penicillinC beef and poultryD the fact that farmers often give penicillin to a beef Part IV: Translation from English into Chinese (10% Directions: In this part, there are four items which you should translate into Chi nese, each item consisting of one sentence.
