Cuddles even demonstrated(顯示)its ability to step in front of Shaw and block him，to prevent him from walking into a dangerous situation.

【題目】閱讀下面的短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C、D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

E

The cost of medical care in the United States is very high. The time and money that doctors spend on their medical education is probably one reason for this problem.

A visit to a doctor's office costs from fifteen to fifty dollars. It is almost impossible for people to pay for medical care they need. Many people in the United States think that doctors are overpaid. Most doctors, however, disagree. They say that they have been required to study medicine for a long time. Tuition(學(xué)費(fèi))for many years of medical education costs lots of money. Doctors say that it is necessary for most medical students to borrow money from a bank to pay their tuition. Because this money must be repaid to the bank, young doctors need to receive a lot of money for their work. So they charge(收費(fèi))people high prices for medical care.

Therefore, it's possible that the high cost of medical care in America is unnecessary. Because high tuition is one cause of high costs, one way to lower costs would be to have medical schools that are free or have low tuition.

【1】Some people don't have their medical care they need because________.

A．they are not willing to pay the doctors high tuition

B．they don't think it necessary to have medical care

C．they don't want to spend much money on it

D．they haven't got enough money to pay for it

【2】The reason for the high medical cost mentioned(提到)in the article is________.

A．tuition in medical schools is high

B．the price of medicine is high

C．doctors are overpaid

D．doctors must pay money to banks

【3】One way to lower the cost of medical care would be________.

A．not to see a doctor

B．to pay doctors less money

C．to let medical students have free or partly free medical education

D．to forbid(禁止)doctors to ask their patients for too much money

【4】The main idea of the article is that________.

A．a(chǎn) visit to a doctor's office may cost as much as 15 to 50 in US

B．the cost of medical care is the main reason for the high costs in US

C．medical care in the United States costs a lot of money because doctors want to be rich

D．the high cost of tuition in medical schools is one reason for the high cost of medical care in America

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

(2012年遼寧卷，C)If Confucius(孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake，there would be a lot of candles. He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.

While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day，few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It's nothing personal. Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.

But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.

In the past two decades，the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently，the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art，history and philosophy(哲學(xué))．Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Western philosophy. Students in the United States，at the same time，are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.

So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.

Today China attracts the West more than ever，and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.

As for the old thinker，he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West，even if his birthday is.

【1】The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________.

A．provide some key facts about Confucius

B．a(chǎn)ttract the readers' interest in the subject

C．show great respect for the ancient thinker

D．prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations

【2】We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students ________.

A．have a great interest in studying Chinese

B．take an active part in Chinese competitions

C．try to get high scores in Chinese exams

D．fight for a chance to learn Chinese

【3】What is the best title for the passage?

A．Forgotten Wisdom in America

B．Huge Fans of the Chinese Language

C．Chinese Culture for Westerners

D．Old Thinker with a Big Future

【4】The passage is likely to appear in ________.

A．a(chǎn) biography

B．a(chǎn) history paper

C．a(chǎn) newspaper

D．a(chǎn) philosophy textbook
