It seems that politicians around the world are thinking about the health of their countries、While in China, Chen Zhu has announced his plans for a universal health service and reform. across health services、Gordon Brown, the UK Prime Minister, has also announced he is planning to make some changes in our health service. The crux of Mr.Brown’s proposals is related to giving the NHS (National Health Service) a greater focus on prevention, rather than just curing patients. He is planning to introduce increased screening for common diseases such as heart disease，strokes and cancer, for example, breast cancer.In Britain there are 200000 deaths a year from heart attacks and strokes, many of which might have been avoided if the condition had been known about. Initially，the diagnostic (诊断的)tests will be available for those who are vulnerable，or most likely to have the disease.One example is a plan to offer all men over 65 an ultrasound test to check for problems with the main artery (动脉)，a condition which kills 3000 men a year.The opposition have criticized Mr.Brown’s proposals，saying that they are just a trick, and claiming that there is no proper timetable for the changes、They also say that Mr.Brown is reducing the money available for the treatment of certain conditions while putting more money towards testing for them. The NHS was founded in 1948, and is paid for by taxation、The idea is that the rich pay more towards the health service than the poor.However, in recent years there has been a great increase in the use of private health care, and it’s much quicker.The NHS waiting lists for operations can be very long, so many people who can afford it choose to pay for medical care themselves. The underlined word“vulnerable”in the fourth paragraph probably means_________.A.sick

B.weak

C.wounded

D.old

All the following statements are true except that_______.A.all people should pay for their health care at the NHS

B.some people are against the reform. of health care

C.the writer is likely to come from Britain

D.more money will be spent on testing people than before

Which of the following is the reason for the increasing private health care?A.People are paying more attention to their own health.

B.People are well off enough to pay their health care.

C.The NHS was not available for most of the people.

D.It’s not so convenient for people to go to the NHS for their health care.

According to the passage, the purpose of the health reform. plan in the UK is to________.A.encourage more private health care

B.focus on the prevention rather than on curing the patient

C.deal with the main artery problems

D.fight against the opposition in the UK

根据材料回答{TSE}题： 第三篇Hypertension Drugs Found to Cut Risk of Stroke Australian doctors declared Monday that a cocktail of simple antihypertensive drugs can lower therisk of patients suffering a repeat stroke hy more than a thir D. This is the result of their research. Theresearch, presented at a medical conference in Italy over the weekend, has been valued highly as a ma-jor breakthrough in stroke prevention. Strokes kill 5 million people a year, and more than 15 million suffer non-fatal strokes that oftenleave them with useless limbs, slurred speech and other serious disabilities. One in five stroke survi-vors goes on to have a second, often fatal, stroke within five years of the first. An international six-year study of 6, 100 patients directed from Sydney University found that bytaking two blood pressure-lowering drugs, the risk of secondary strokes can be reduced by up to 40per cent. Even taking one of the commonly available drugs can cut the risk by a third, the study said.The drugs are the diuretic indapamide and the ACE inhibitor1 perindopril, better known by its brandname Coversyl. The combination was effective even in patients who did not have high blood pressure,the researchers said. They even found that the risk of another stroke could be cut by three quarters a-mong the one-in-ten patients who had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, the worst type of stroke, wherethere is direct bleeding into the brain. Stephen McMahon, who presented the research at the Milan congress of the European Society ofHypertension, said about 50 million people were alive who had suffered at least one stroke. "If most ofthose patients were able to get access to this treatment, it would result in3 maybe the avoidance of half a million strokes a year," the professor told Australia's ABC Radio. McMahon said doctors had long known that lowering the blood pressure of those with hyperten-sion could help prevent strokes. "What we have shown for the first time is that it do.es not really mat-ter what your blood pressure is； if you have had a stroke, then lowering blood pressure will producelarge benefits, to begin with--even for people whose blood pressure is average or below average," hesaid. MeMahon said the Milan gathering had heralded the research as a "major breakthrough in the careof patients with strokes—perhaps the biggest step forward that we have made in the last couple of dec-ades". {TS} How many-peoples surviving the first stroke may suffer another attack during the following five years?

Directions :

Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talked about the importance of doing ex-ercise. For questions 61 t0 65, match the name of each person, to one of the statements (A to G)given, be-low. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1.

Eufracio Tolentino:

I did regular exercise when I was young, but by my 30s, I had a family and a busy job. I neg-

lected exercise for years. At 59, I had a stroke that resulted from lack of exercise. Now I visit a re-

covering center in the morning and spend my afternoons exercising. I encourage my friends a start

exercising. If they don't, engaging too much in their work or family, they may also suffer from a

stroke.

Raymond Cbiew:

Think you' re healthy just because you' re within your ideal weight range for your height?

Wrong! Take me as an example. I figured I got enough exercise playing tennis once a week, for I

wasn't overweight and didn't smoke or drink. Then at 57, I woke up one early morning with chest

pains and tests revealed that I had serious heart trouble. I was shocked. Now I walk for an hour every

day and my doctor says that my heart is improving.

Dr Santos-Ringor:

Whether you hire a personal trainer, take exercise classes at the community center or rent exer-

cise videos, spending money on fitness is really money well spent, for health is wealth. But if you

can' t afford any of those, just get a comfortable pair of shoes: walk is free. I form. an exercise group

with friends; play catch with my kids or set aside Saturdays for long walks in the country.

Ruth Cheah:

You're never too late or too out of shape to start exercising. I didn' t start to exercise on a regu-

lar basis until I was 59. Now, as old as 79, I take a daily 45-minute walk, go swimming twice a

week. These exercises free me from medicines, and I feel active and alert. People tell me that Ilook

younger than my age.

V. M. Chandran:

Many people start exercising because they want to lose weight, and when that doesn't happen

immediately, they may give up. But the same volume of muscle weights more than that of fat, so a

large person who is fit could be healthier than a thin person who is not. When I saw my weight rise

past 90 kilos in my late 40s, I began taking walks for 45 minutes a day. Even though I still weigh o-

ver 90 kilos, I feel much stronger. I'm proud to have muscles, not fat.

Now match the name of each person, ( 61 t0 65) to the appropriate statement.

Note :there are two extra statements.

Statements

[A] Rich people know that health is wealth.

[B] Exercise does not necessarily mean a big-money game.

[C] Proper exercise is a must even if you are not overweight.

[D] One will pay dearly for ignoring exercise due to the heavy de-mands of life.

[E] Old age or poor health is never an excuse for being inactive.

[F] Exercise is good as long as it helps lose weight.

[G] The right proportion of muscle and fat is the criterion of health.

根据以下内容回答题：An occasional drink with dinner could reduce the risk of having a stroke（中风），according to a new study．Researchers found that light to moderate drinkers can lower their risk by about 20 per cent compared with nondrinkers． The study was the biggest ever to examine the link between alcohol and stroke．It showed that as little as a single glass of wine or beer per week can significantly reduce stroke risk．The study involved more than 22，000 men，but the researchers said the results could also apply to women． However，the researchers stressed it would be unwise for doctors to advise patients who don’t drink to suddenly start or those who drink small amounts to begin consuming more heavily．The study found no added protection from stroke by drinking more than lightly or moderately． And researchers warned of possible harms posed by alcohol，such as liver damage，the dangers of driving while drunk and the risk of breast cancer in women． What’S more，there are other ways to reduce stroke risk，such as quitting smoking or lowering blood pressure． Numerous studies have shown that modest drinking reduces the risk of heart disease．But until now，the evidence of an effect on strokes has been less convincing．Early studies were criticized because they simply compared drinkers to non-drinkers．This latest study examined varying levels of alcohol intake．It found that between one drink a week and one a day reduces the risk，and the lesser amount was about as good as the higher one．

The study was the biggest ever because__________ ．

A.ie has been published lately

B.it involved more than 22，000 men

C.it provided some advice to doctors

D.the results could also apply to women

Fighting in Nature In nature, fighting is such an ever-present process that its behavior. mechanisms and weapons are highly developed. Almost every animal capable of self-defense from the smallest upwards fights furiously when it is cornered and has no means of escape. However, in another respect the fight between hunter and hunted is not a fight in the real sense of the word: the stroke of the paw with which a lion kills his prey may resemble the movements that he makes when he strikes his rival, but the inner motives of the hunter are basically different from those of the fighter. The buffalo which the lion fells provokes his aggression as little as the appetizing turkey which I have just seen hanging in the larder provokes mine. The difference in these inner drives can clearly be seen in the expression movements of the animal: a dog about to catch a hunted rabbit has the same kind of excited happy expression as he has when he greets his master or awaits some longed-for treat. Growling, laying the ears back, and other well-known expression movements of fighting behavior. occur when predatory animals are afraid of a wildly resisting prey, and even then the expressions are only suggested. The opposite process, the counter-offensive, of the prey against the predator, is more nearly related to genuine aggression. Social animals in particular take every possible chance to attack the eating enemy that threatens their safety. This process is called "mobbing". The survival value of this attack on the hunter is self-evident. Even if the attacker is small and defenseless, he may do his enemy considerable harm. For example, if a sparrow hawk is pursued by a flock of warning wagtails, his hunting is spoiled for the time being. And many birds will mob an owl if they find one in the day-time, and drive it so far away that it will hunt somewhere else the next night. In some social animals such as jackdaws and many kinds of geese, the function of mobbing is particularly interesting. In jackdaws, its most important survival value is to teach the young inexperienced birds what a dangerous eating-enemy looks like, which they do not know instinctively. For just such educational reasons, geese and ducks may gather together in intense excitement to learn that a fox—anything furry, red-brown, long-shaped and slinking—is extremely dangerous. Besides this didactic function, mobbing of predators by jackdaws and geese still has the basic, original one of making the enemys life a burden. Jackdaws actively attack their enemy, and geese apparently intimidate it with their cries, their thronging and their fearless advance. The great Canada Geese will even follow a fox overland in a close phalanx, and I have never known a fox in this situation will try to catch one of his tormentors. With ears laid back and a disgusted expression on his face, he glances back over his shoulder at the trumpeting flock and trots slowly—so as not to lose face—away from them. Among the larger, more defense-minded grazing animals which en masse are a match for even the biggest predators, mobbing is particularly effective;(A)According to reliable reports, zebras will molest even a leopard if they catch him on plain where cover is sparse.(B)Once, when I was out with my dog, I was obliged to jump into a lake and swim for safety when a herd of young cattle half encircled us and advanced threateningly;(C)And when he was in Southern Hungary during the First World War, my brother spent a pleasant afternoon up a tree with his Scotch terrier under his arm, because a herd of half-wild Hungarian swine, disturbed while grazing in the wood, encircled him.(D)Fortunately, the swine dispersed after they confirmed that my brother and his dog were not offensive.

The word provoke in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to______.

A．cause

B．intensify

C．stop

D．relieve
