Extra Passage 15
In most countries, the law on organ transplantation is poorly defined, as legislation has not yet been created to cope with this advance in surgery. The existing framework relating to physical assault and care of the dead has no provision for organ transplantation. It is customary to ask the permission of the relatives, but, because organ removal must take place immediately after death, it may be impossible to reach the relatives in time. It has been suggested that there should be a widespread campaign to encourage persons to provide in their wills that their organs be used for transplantation. An alternative is to provide by law that permission is assumed unless removal has been forbidden by the individual in his lifetime. Such laws have been passed in Denmark, France, Sweden, Italy, and Israel. Compulsory postmortem examination, a far more extensive procedure than organ removal for grafting, is required in most countries after unexpected death, and this compulsion is not a matter of public concern and debate.
There would seem to be no reason why organ removal for transplantation purpose should not also be acceptable to public opinion, provided there is a mechanism by which individuals in their lifetime can refuse this permission. This, of course, requires an efficient register of those who indicate their refusal: the register would be consulted before any organs would be removed. It is important that there be public reassurance that consideration of transplantation would not impair normal resuscitative efforts of the potential donor.
Transplantation has obviously raised important ethical considerations concerning the diagnosis of death, and, particularly, how far resuscitation should be continued. Every effort must be made to restore the heartbeat to someone who has had a sudden cardiac arrest or breathing to someone who cannot breathe. Artificial respiration and massage of the heart, the standard methods of resuscitation,are continued until it is clear that the brain is dead. Most physicians consider that beyond this point efforts at resuscitation are useless.
1. According to the author, which of the following is NOT true?
A.Most countries do not have an effective law on organ transplantation.
B．The traditional way of asking for permission of relatives for organ removal does not prove to be always feasible.
C．It is hard to understand why people should remain silent on compulsory postmortem exam after unexpected death.
D．In some countries there are laws providing that the permission of organ removal is taken for granted unless it has been refused by the person in his life time.
2. Which of the follow is NOT a suggestion made in passage?
A.People be encouraged to donate their organ after death
B.Organ removal should be permitted in course of compulsory postmortem exam
C.Organ removal for transplantation should be advocated because it benefits the human society
D.Organ removal for transplantation could be considered legal unless the dead person stated otherwise in his lifetime
3. The word “impair” at the end of Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by___
A. neglect B. weaken
B. come together withD.be superior to
4. It is believed that efforts at resuscitation are useless when__
A.artificial respiration and massage of the heart have yielded no obvious result
B.a person "s heartbeat and breath has totally stopped
C.Standard methods of resuscitation have failed
D.The brain is certainly dead
5. Which of the following can best sum up the passage?
A.Legal and ethical problems of organ transplantation
B.Some underlying principles on organ transplantation
C.The diagnosis of death before organ transplantation

Passage 1CCBCD
After practising as a surgeon for several years, Dr. Ginoux decided to apply for membership in the American College of Surgeons (美国外科医生学会), a highly selective and distinguished professional organization.
As part of the application procedure (手续), Dr. Ginoux was asked to prepare a list of all the operations performed in the previous seven years. Slowly, as she worked on the long list, she began to feel uncertain. She began to question some of her decisions. Had she used the best techniques in that case? Maybe, in this case, she should have… Would the doctors on the selection committee understand that, as the only trained surgeon in the area, she usually could not get advice from others and therefore, had to rely completely on her own judgment?

Passage 2 ADBDD
After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.
There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles(肌肉) relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.
Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep tell us that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This period of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.
If you can?t fall asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believed that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!

Passage 3 CACBC
Tokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at the same time.
In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to be. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast when they can. But in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different when one wants to walk.
At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London's Oxford Street. But the streets near Ginza in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them.
The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is when the night-clubs are closing and everybody wants to go home. There are 35,000 night-clubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty.
Most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on time. On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper. In Tokyo trains everybody in a seat seems to be asleep, whether his journey is long or short.
In Tokyo, I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire-engines raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now. instead, I am surprised at myself: I must go there next year on business. I know I hate the overcrowded city. But I feel like a man who is returning to his long-lost love.

C. When the train is overcrowded.D. At 11:30 a.m.
3. What does the writer say about Japanese trains?
A. There are not enough trains.
B. They are very nice and comfortable.
C. They leave and arrive at the right time.
D. They often run behind schedule.

Passage 4 DCCCB
Every ten years there is a national census(人口普查) to count the number of people. The Census Office asks every household to answer questions on a census form. The census counts people by the kind of housing they live in, the country in which they were born, and the kind of job they do and how they travel to work. Census results are used by a great many people and are
available to everyone in many ways.
For example, in order to work out present and future needs we must know how people are housed now, and the sizes and ages of their families. For hospitals, schools and other local services, the size of annual grants(拨款) made by the Government to these services depends largely on the numbers and needs of people in the area. Many of the figures come from the census. In order to work out future spending for pensions (养老金), we need to know people's ages, how many are men and how many are women, whether they are single or married, and the size of the family. The census shows how many people have moved from one area to another and how the local workforce is changing. This information is used when factories, offices, shops, public transport and places for leisure are being planned. The census is taken in order to provide figures about the nation as a whole. It does not give information about any named person, family or household. Names and addresses are needed to take the census accurately, but they are not fed into the computer. After the census, the forms are locked away and will not be released to anyone outside the Census Office for 100 years. The answers you give on your census form will be treated secretly. No one outside the Census Office will see your completed form - but if you refuse to complete your form properly, you may be taken to court and the form could be produced as evidence. Everyone working on the census is required to keep it secret and can be accused if he or she improperly reveals information.
1. It is necessary to know what sort of housing conditions people have in order to plan ________.
A) the sizes and ages of families

Passage 5 CBCAA
If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year.
A famous scientist, Ellsworth Huntington(1876-1974), concluded, from his work among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.
He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.
Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in spring man?s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about rapid growth of everything in nature.
Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be good time to take a long vacation from thinking.
1. According to this passage, your intelligence probably________.
A. stays the same throughout the year

5. The two best seasons for thinking seem to be _________.
