25、ed to tell me, is the best policy. Of course, this didnt include her when she told me that if I didnt eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out and wouldnt give me any presents.But when it comes to medicine, I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients. After all,

26、the doctor patient-relationship is based on trust, and therefore honesty is essential. Or so I thought.I had just started working in geriatrics（老年病科）. Mr. McMahon was brought in when his belly was found very swollen. I took a medical history from his daughter whod accompanied him in the ambulance. S

27、hed been his main carer for years. I stood looking at him as she gave a detailed history. “Has he lost any weight recently ” I asked, “Well, its funny you should mention that, but yes,” she said slowly. There was silence for a few moments. “Why What are you worried about ” she asked. I hesitated. Sh

28、e was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told her the truth. “Well, we need to prove its not cancer,” I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order.Half an hour later, a nurse called me: “Mr. McMahons daughter broke down she said you told her he

29、had cancer.” My heart sank. By the time I arrived at the ward, my consultant was already there, explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer. I stood silently at the end of the bed. My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left

30、 Mr. McMahon, she turned to me. “Why on earth did you do that ” she asked in disbelief. I looked at her and bit my lip. “She asked me what I was worried about and I told her.” I said, hanging my head. “And give her more to worry about” replied my consultant. “You dont say the word cancer until its c

31、onfirmed. Even if you suspect it, think very carefully before you tell people.”As it turned out, it wasnt cancer. But I did learn that when someone is stressed and worried about their loved one theyre sometimes selective in what they hear and as a doctor its important to be mindful of this. In being

32、 truthful, Id made the situation worse. 51. The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to show that the author _.A. misunderstood the doctor-patient relationshipB. was anxious to receive Christmas giftsC. regarded honesty as the best policyD. had an unhealthy eating habit 52.

33、was angry with him because _.A. he told the daughter what he suspectedB. he delayed running the necessary testsC. he failed to confirm the parents diseaseD. he forgot what the consultant had advised 53.

Telling the truth may not always be the best solution.D. Selecting pleasant words may not be the perfect policy.BHowling is a b

35、ehavior commonly observed among a wolf pack. As pack animals, wolves work together to hunt and rely on howling as an important means of communication among each other. There are different explanations of a wolfs howl and it appears that there may be more to discover.One theory is that wolves howl to

36、 bond better together. Its almost as if howling together helps the pack stay together. Perhaps something similar to people feeling a sense of involvement with each other when singing a song together. But this theory may be wrong, explains Fred H. Harington, a professor who studies wolf behavior.Inde

37、ed, there have been times when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a chorus, and the next, quarreling among each other. It appears that usually the lowest-ranking members of the pack may actually be “ punished ” for joining in the chorus at times. So is howling a way to strengthen a social b

38、ond or just a way to reconfirm status among its members Why do wolves howl for sure What is clear, however, is that howling is often used among packmates to locate each other. Hunting grounds are distant and it happens that wolves may separate from one another at times. When this happens, howling ap

39、pears to be an excellent means of gathering.Howling, interestingly, is a contagious behavior. When one wolf starts to howl, very likely others will follow. This is often seen to occur in the morning, as if wolves were doing some sort of “ roll call ” where wolves all howl together to report their pr

40、esence. 55. What the possible similarity between wolves howling together and humans singing in chorus?A. The act of calling each other.B. the sense of accomplishment.C. The act of hunting for something.D. The sense of belonging to a group. 56. Why does Harrington think the “ social bond ” theory may

41、 be wrong?A. Wolves separate from each other after howling.B. Wolves tend to protect their hunting grounds.C. Wolves sometimes have quarrels after howling together.D. Wolves of low rank are encouraged to join in the chorus. 57. Researchers are sure that wolves often howl to _ .A. show their ranksB.

42、find their companionsC. report the missing onesD. express their loneliness 58. “ Howling is a contagious behavior ” ( in the last paragraph ) means _ .A. howling is a signal for huntingB. howling is a way of communicationC. howling often occurs in the morningD. howling spreads from one to anotherCIn

43、 todays throw-away society, dealing with the citys growing mountain of waste is an increasing challenge for the city council（市議會）.Recently, Edinburgh is faced with the problem of disposing of（處理）about 250,000 million tons of waste a year. Despite different ways to dispose of much of it in a green ma

44、nner largely through encouraging recycling its aging facilities such as the Powderhall landfill do not have the ability to deal with it.The European Union (EU) has issued a new policy, regulating how such mountains of waste are to be disposed of. The five councils ( Edinburgh, East Lothian, West Lot

45、hian, Midlothian and Borders ) face fines around 18 million a year from 2013 if they dont increase recycling levels and rely less on landfill. With this in mind, the councils got together with the idea of building a large incinerator plant（垃圾焚燒廠）to burn half of the waste produced in their districts.

46、 But this plan fell apart after the change of target levels by a new UK government waste policy which required that no more than 25% of the citys waste should be disposed of in this way by 2025.After the plan was abandoned, a private company which already transported millions of tons of the citys wa

47、ste by train to a landfill site near Dunbar, offered an alternative solution when it suggested opening a huge waste site near Portobello.Since Powderhall is supposed to close in 2015, it seemed necessary for the members of the Edinburgh Council to accept the suggestion. But soon they turned it down

48、after 700 local objections reached them because it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud noise through heavily populated areas.That still leaves the council with a problem. By 2013, only 50% of 1995 levels of waste will be allowed to be sent to landfill. Even if recycling targets ar

49、e met, there will still be a large amount of rubbish to be burnt up. Due to this, Edinburgh and Midlothian councils have now decided to work together to build an incinerator plant as time to find a solution is fast running out. 59. The main way of handling waste in a green manner in Edinburgh is _.A

50、. recycling B. restoring C. burying D. burning 60. The five councils worked out a plan to build an incinerator plant to _.A. reduce the cost of burying wasteB. meet the EU requirementsC. speed up waste recyclingD. replace landfill sites 61. The city council of Edinburgh rejected the suggestion to op

51、en a huge landfill site near Portobello because _.A. it came from a private companyB. the council was not interested in itC. it was not supported by EUD. the local people were against it 62. What is the final decision of Edinburgh and Midlothian Councils A. To open a new landfill nearby.B. To close

52、the Powderhall landfill in 2015.C. To set up a plan for burning waste.D. To persuade people to deduce their waste.DFeeling blue about world “ Cheer up,” says science writer Matt Ridley. “ The world has never been a better place to live in, and it will keep on getting better both for humans and for n

53、ature. ”Ridley calls himself a rational optimist rational, because hes carefully weighed the evidence; optimistic, because that evidence shows human progress to be both unavoidable and good. And this is what hes set out to prove from a unique point of view in his most recent book, The Rational Optim

54、ist. He views mankind as a grand enterprise that, on the whole, has done little but progress for 100,000 years. He backs his findings with hard facts gathered through years of research.Heres how he explains his views.1) Shopping fuels inventionIt is reported that there are more than ten billion diff

55、erent products for sale in London alone. Even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty, our own generation has access to more nutritious food. more convenient transport, bigger houses, better cars, and of course, more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us. This will continue

56、as long as we use these things to make other things. The more we specialize and exchange, the better off well be.2) Brilliant advancesOne reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer-lived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needs food, clothing, fuel and shelter have grown a lot cheaper. Take one example. In 1800 a candle providing one hours light cost six hours work. In the 1880s the same light from an oil lamp took 15 minutes work to pay for. In 1950 it was eight seconds. Today its
