8.Critical thinking is an important skill that can increase students'ability to learn in any situation.This can be applied to traditional education to traditional education,or directly in a career related role.Many teachers find it such a valuable skill that they give their students a critical thinking question every day.Developing this ability can mean the difference between"just passing a course"and"understanding the material well enough"so that what students learn from it will follow them throughout their life.
Some characteristics of a critical thinker that teacher should encourage are;
-asking questions as a reaction to something  read or discussed;
-determining the"deeper meaning"of particular passage or topic;
-providing input and opinions to topics as a direct result of analysis and research; and
-reasoning in an effort to develop an argument of your own opinion.
It is important for a student to understand more than definition(定义)One way to truly understand an idea is to have heands-on practice,and to apply concepts learned in a  textbook.Such"mini-examples"will interest a student and improve their understanding of a topic.This is how life-long skills can be developed.
Teachers that use critical thinking practices in the classroom can"go above and beyond"by asking questions that promote a greater comprehension of the material.Instructors should be able to challenge students and create an environment where they are analyzing material and gaining a better understanding.This will make the classroom move in a direction for learning.It can also help students to stay interested in the course material,as they always have a new concept to consider.
At the same time,students benefit greatly from developing critical thinking skills.When learned early on,these skills can be used throughout their college education.Students can understand how to consider a topic,analyse it,and discuss it from different points of view.These are skills that will benefit them when they are part of the workforce as well.

31.Critical thinking can best be described asC.
A.a system to improve people's memory
B.a method to expand people's knowledge
C.a way to increase people's ability to understand
D.a process to make people more critical of others
32.The underlined word"it"in Paragraph 1refers toD.
A.the ability  B.the difference  C.the course  D.the material
33.According to the passage,a critical thinker shouldB.
A.ask questions before reading the material
B.be able to develop their own opinions
C.predict the deeper meaning of a topic
D.do more analysis and research
34.The author thinks"mini-examples"are useful because theyC.
A.assist students to better remember definitions
B.give students hands-on practice
C.help to keep students interested
D.help students develop concepts
35.Who are the intended reader of the passage?A

9.The health-care economy is filled with unusual and even unique economic relationships.One of the least understood involves the peculiar roles of producer or"provider"and purchaser or"consumer"in the typical doctor-patient relationship.In most sectors of the economy,it is the seller who attempts to attract a potential buyer with various appealing factors of price,quality,and use,and it is the buyer who makes the decision.Such condition,however,is not common in most of the health-care industry.
In the health-care industry,the doctor-patient relationship is the mirror image of the ordinary relationship between producer and consumer.Once an individual has chosen to see a physician-and even then there may be no real choice-it is the physician who usually makes all significant purchasing decisions:whether the patient should return"next Wednesday",whether X-rays are needed,whether drugs should be prescribed,etc.It is rare that a patient will challenge such professional decisions or raise in advance questions about price,especially when the disease is regarded as serious.
This is particularly significant in relation to hospital care.The physician must certify the need for hospitalization,determine what procedures will be performed,and announce when the patient may be discharged.The patient may be consulted about some of the decisions,but in general it is the doctor's judgments that are fi nal.Little wonder then that in the eye of the hospital it is the physician who is the real"consumer".As a consequence,the med ical staff represents the"power center"in hospital policy and decision-making,not the administration.
Although usually there are in this situation four identifiable participants-the physician,the hospital,the patient,and the payer (generally an insurance carrier or government)-the physician makes the essential decisions for all of them.The hospital becomes an extension of the physician; the payer generally meets most of the bills generated by the physician/hospital,and for the most part the patient plays a passive role.We estimate that about 75-80 percent of health-care choices are determined by physicians,not patients.For this reason,the economy directed at patients or the general is relatively ineffective.
 
28.The author's prim ary purpose in writing this passage is toD.
A.urge hospitals to reclaim their decision-making authority
B.inform potential patients of their health-care rights
C.criticize doctors for exercising too much control over patients
D.analyze some important economic factors in health-care
29.It can be inferred that doctors are able to determine hospital policies becauseB.
A.most of patient's bills are paid by his health insurance
B.it is doctors who generate income for the hospital
C.some patients might refuse to take their physician's advice
D.a doctor is ultimately responsible for a patient's health
30.According to the author,when a doctor tells a patient to"return next Wednesday",the doctor is in factC.
A.advising the patient to seek a second opinion
B.warning the patient that a hospital stay might be necessary
C.instructing the patient to buy more medical services
D.admitting that the first visit was ineffective
31.The author is most probably leading up toA.
A.a proposal to control medical costs
B.a study of lawsuits against doctors for malpractice
C.an analysis of the cause of inflation (通货膨胀) in the US
D.a discussion of a new medical treatment.

6.Everyone wants to keep healthy.Is there anything more important than health?I don't think so."Health is the greatest wealth,"wise people say,"You can't be good at your studies or work well when you are ill."
If you have a headache,toothache,backache,earache or bad pain in the stomach,if you have a bad cough,if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold,or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure,I think you should go to see a doctor.
The doctor will test your blood pressure,examine your throat,feel your pulse,take your temperature,sound your heart and lungs,test your eyes,check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed.After that he will advise some treatment or some medicine.The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.
Speaking of doctor's advice,I can't help telling you a funny story.
An old gentleman came to see the doctor.The man was very ill.He told the doctor about his weakness,memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs.The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.
He then told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest.He also advised him to eat some meat,drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks.In other words,the doctor advised him to follow the rule--Eat at pleasure,drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again,he shouldn't smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A month later the gentleman came back into the doctor's office.He looked cheerful and happy.He thanked the doctor and said that  he had never felt a healthier man..
"But you know,doctor,"he said,"it's not easy to begin smoking at my age."
81.The writer thinks thatD.

B.after he has examined the patient
C.if the patient doesn't take medicine

3.Living near the beach may come with an extra perk (利益):better health.A new study analyzed information from more than 48million people in England and found that the nearer they lived to the coast,the more likely people were to report good health within the past year.
Living near the coast may be associated with better health because the seaside environment reduces stress,the researchers said.They pointed to another British study that found that people who took trips to the coast experienced more feelings of calmness and relaxation than those who visited urban parks or the countryside.
The difference from living near the coast was relatively small.But a small effect,when applied to an entire population can have a substantial impact on public health,said study researcher Ben Wheeler of Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry in Exeter,England.
However,it's too soon to advise people to hit the beach to improve health,Wheeler said.The study only found an association,not a cause-effect link,and it's possible that other factors could explain the results.For instance,it could be that people who are wealthier,and therefore healthier,are more able to move to desired locations such as the coast,Wheeler said,a phenomenon known as the migrant effect.But the study did find that the association between coastal living and better health was strongest for those living in the poorest areas,which perhaps indicates that wealth cannot explain the results,Wheeler said.
Because the study looked at only England-an island country in which everyone lives within 72miles of the coast-it's not clear whether the findings would apply to other populations.Far from England,a health expert not involved in the study said that while the British research certainly doesn't prove that people's health and the place they live are linked,it's possible that proximity to the seas does something for our bodies.
If future studies confirm the results,the next step would be to find out it is what coastal environments that can benefit health.Wheeler said it may then be possible to bring those benefits to people living in other areas,through virtual environments,for instance.

28.We can conclude from the passage thatB.
A.people are encouraged to move to the coast
B.people living near the sea may be healthier
C.people pay increasingly attention to health
D.people are worried about residential environment
29.According to the researchers,living near the seaC.
A.doesn't nearly affect the British population
B.can cure some difficult diseases in a way
C.can help get over one's stress
D.means freeing from sadness or troubles
30.What Ben Wheeler said meansD.
A.the British public health is decreasing
B.concrete evidence favors life near the sea
C.wealthier people are likely to be healthier
D.exact reasons are proposed for further research
31.What does the underlined word"proximity"in the passage mean?A.
A.being close
B.being distant
C.being similar
D.being opposite.

5.Since ninety-eight percent of Hong Kong people are Chinese,half of them from Mainland China who know little English,there seems to be no valid reason why Chinese should not be one of the official languages of Hong Kong.
Generally,none-English speaking Chinese make out very well.It is mostly the courts that they experienced any great difficulty-Hong Kong's law and court proceedings are in English-because,apparently,not sufficient attention is given to translating laws and procedures into Chinese.
One other difficulty lies in the field of official communication-from Government offices.It seems no more than reasonable that such communications addressed to Chinese people should be in both Chinese and English.
The Chinese Language Committee has,in its four reports to Government,proposed that the Chinese language should have equal status with the English language in meetings of the Legislative Council,the Urban Council and Government Boards and Committees; in oral and written communications between Government and the public; in court-proceedings and the language of the law; and in the Hong Kong School Certificate of Education Examinations-all that by 1974 or 1975.
The key-word in the recommendation is status,as Judge T.L.Yang,Chairman of the Legal Sub-committee of the government-appointed Chinese Language Committee,pointed out.He is not happy with the term Fat Ting U Men which the Committee adopted to indicate the official status of the Chinese language.His Honor preferred Kun Fong U Men,meaning a language used by the government.
In other words,such official language,whether Chinese or English,need not necessarily be used in every instance.Consequently,situations may occur in which only Chinese is used by the government and,again,other communication situations in which only English is used.As one Chinese newspaper editorial pointed out,equal status does not necessarily mean equal use-whether in law or any other official communication.
The result of the Chinese Language Committee's four Reports seems to be that Chinese and English are now used in the Urban Council and the Legislative Council meetings and are likely to be used shortly in other circumstances prospected by that Committee.Let it be noted,however,that in Hong Kong,as everywhere else,new ideas take hold very slowly-unless pressure is exerted from some quarter or another.
For instance,after the demonstrations by post-secondary students in favor of Chinese as an official language,Government communicated with the public in both Chinese and English.However,when such communication appeared in writing,the Chinese translation was often so inadequate that the receivers,if they were able,read the English to understand the meaning of the Chinese.

74.According to the writer,Chinese should be made an official language becauseC.
A.most Hong Kong citizens have an adequate command of Chinese
B.some Hong Kong citizens find considerable difficulty in legal language
C.the population of Hong Kong is predominantly Chinese
D.the national pride of the Hong Kong Chinese urges them to demand it.
75.The main idea of the sixth paragraph is thatD.
A.equal status of English and Chinese means equal use
B.only Chinese should be used in official communication
C.both English and Chinese should be employed in all official communication
D.both English and Chinese or either language should be used as the situation demands
76.The phrase or word nearest in meaning to take hold in the seventh paragraph isD.
A.fasten upon the mind      
B.grasp
C.are rejected                            
D.are accepted
77.The writer,in his conclusion,implies thatC.
A.the government will be forced to accept Chinese as an official language
B.good translators are definitely inadequate in Hong Kong
C.many difficulties will arise from translating English into Chinese
D.a person has to be bilingual (双语的) before he understands translations in Chinese.

3.The Entropia Universe
The Entropia Universe is a virtual world on the Internet,which seems very like our real life.It is set in a distant future and based on a planet called Calypso.Entropia was the brainchild of a group of Swedish computer lovers who decided to see if they could create a three dimensional (维度的) virtual world that could be placed on the Internet.They did manage after they received the financial backing they needed.
The game can be played for free,but nearly all in-game activities require personal resources that you have available to use.Although there are various activities to keep you busy on Calypso,what most people do first is to find themselves a profession,such as hunting the fierce animals on Calypso,mining the precious minerals and making tools.Then they can think about buying their virtual house or paying a visit to a virtual nightclub or doing any of the other activities that make life bearable.
Entropia has its very own economy (经济) and its own currency,the PED (Project Entropia Dollars).Players move real world money into PED which they then use to pay for their life on Calypso.However,the virtual things inside Entropia do have a real value in the outside world,and careful business deals mean that players can actually make real money there.PED can be changed into dollars any time at a rate of 10PED to 1US﹩.
What's so impressive about The Entropia Universe is the number of players; currently more than 600,000 representing over 220 countries from planet Earth.A number of players insist that it's a good way to make money.However,the reality of Entropia's economic system is that most people end up paying more than they earn and it's not uncommon to find players who are paying up to﹩200 a month into their PED account.This might not be the most economical way of spending one's free time.However,some people say that for them the fact that they can escape the realities of the earthbound life and become a different person with a completely different life for a few hours every week is worth the use of money,even if they don't get any interest rates on it.

63.What can we learn about The Entropia Universe?A
A.It costs nothing to join.
B.It focuses on business plans.
C.It is designed for computer lovers.
D.It presents what life is like on other planets.
64.What does Paragraph 2mainly talk about?A
A.What people do on Calypso.
B.When people buy houses there.
C.How people make life bearable.
D.Why people often find a job first.
65.According to the author,playing on The Entropia UniverseB.
A.may be very annoying  
B.can be quite expensive
C.is a cheap way to kill time
D.is a good way to earn money
66.What can be inferred about The Entropia Universe?B
A.It is technical.
B.It is satisfying.
C.It is ridiculous.
D.It is educational.
