星火:月大学英语四级预测卷4Passage TwoQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.When it comes to health, the poor are doubly cursed. Not only are they more prone to deadly infectious diseases than the rich, but they have far less access to the means of improvement. Twenty years ago, Paul Farmer, an American doctor and anthropologist(人类学者), set out to do something about this. Amid the political turmoil(混乱)and poverty of rural Haiti, he created a community based health care system called Zanmi Lasante, or Partners in Health. It not only delivers appropriate, affordable medical treatment to thousands of poor people, but goes beyond the clinic to address the social causes making them sick and keeping them from getting better.As Dr. Farmer argues, improving the health of the poor is not just a medical challenge, but a question of human rights. Tackling the inequality, racism, sexism and other forms of structural violence which oppress the poor is as critical as extending the drugs. Or as his Haiti patients put it, medicine without food is like washing ones hands and drying them in the dirt.Unfortunately, Dr. Farmers powerful message is often weakened by his books academic tone. It does, however, scream out in passages describing the human face of structural violence. It is these personal stories that make Dr. Farmers anger at such stupid deaths so compelling.The good doctors motives and methods are better described in Mountains Beyond Mountains. This biography by Tracy Kidder traces Dr. Farmer from his unconventional upbringing and unusual education, shuttling (来回穿梭于) between the shacks of central Haiti and the halls of Harvard Medical School, to his later work around the world. Though well written, Mr. Kidders book also makes for uncomfortable reading. The author is clearly close to his subject, having traveled with Dr. Farmer from the green poverty of Haiti to the tubercular whiteness of Russia. Too close, perhaps. The biographer seems to be seeking his subjects approval, rather than the other way round. Mr. Kidder writes, rather disturbingly, about his fear of disappointing Dr. Farmer, his own pain at wounding him with a critical remark and his relief at the doctors forgiveness.When Mr. Kidders health falls, this dependence becomes all the more intense. But rather than compromise the books equity(公正), this intimacy serves to highlight Dr. Farmers admirable, yet ultimately irritating, character. As Mr. Kidder observes, Farmer wasnt put on earth to make anyone feel comfortable, except those lucky enough to be his patients or those unlucky enough to need him.57. What makes the Partners in Health system unique compared with traditional hospitals?A) It makes attempts to help the poor on a social level.B) It is aimed at treating poor people for free.C) It is designed to help the poor rise from poverty.D) It offers community help to those who are poor.58. What can be inferred from the last sentence of the second paragraph?A) Hands should not be dried in the dirt after washing.B) Medicine is also needed for cleaning hands.C) Medicine is not a long term cure to their poor health.D) Food can cure their disease better than any medicine.59. The disadvantage of Dr. Farmers book seems to be that.A) the plots in the book are not attractive enoughB) the way he tells the stories is not compelling enoughC) the anger he expresses at stupid deaths is too strongD) the tone is not strong enough to arouse peoples attention60. Mr. Kidders book also makes for uncomfortable reading because .A) Mr. Kidder himself has never been involved in Dr. Farmers lifeB) Mr. Kidder is afraid of making true comments on Dr. FarmerC) Mr. Kidders emotions prevent him from independent writingD) Mr. Kidder is always waiting for Dr. Farmers forgiveness61. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .A) Dr. Farmer only helped those who are lucky enoughB) Dr. Farmer may have severely criticized the societyC) Dr. Farmer was not actually making his patients comfortableD) Dr. Farmers job is not to make people comfortablePart Cloze ( minutes)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D) on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.The horse and carriage is a thing of the past, but love and marriage are still with us and still closely interrelated. Most American marriages, 62 first marriages uniting young people, are the result of mutual attraction and affection 63 than practical considerations.In the United States, parents do not 64 marriages for their children. Teenagers begin 65 in high school and usually find mates through their own academic and social 66 .Though young people feel free to choose their friends from 67 groups, most choose a mate of similar 68 . This is due in part to parental guidance.Parents can not 69 spouses (配偶) for their children, but they can usually 70 choices by voicing disapproval of someone they consider unsuitable. 71 , marriages between members of different groups (interclass, interfaith, and interracial marriages) are 72 , probably because of the greater mobility of todays youth and the fact that they are 73 by fewer prejudices than their parents. Many young people leave their hometowns to attend college, serve in the armed forces, 74 pursue a career in a bigger city. Once away from home and family, they are more 75 to date and marry outside their own social group. In mobile American society, interclass marriages are neither 76 nor astonishing. Interfaith marriages are 77 the rise, especially between Protestants (基督教徒) and Catholics (天主教徒) . On the other hand, interracial marriages are still very 78 . It can be difficult for interracial couples to find a place to live, maintain friendships, and 79 a family.
