Chinese medical experts have warned that antibiotics (抗生素) are “ 41 overused” in hospitals, which may cause serious side-effects for the health of an entire generation.
According to the ministry, 70 percent of Chinese inpatients have received antibiotics, while the maximum number set by the World Health Organization is 30 percent. About 97 percent of 42__ patients used antibiotics but research showed that a large number of them could avoid the need if hospitals conducted proper sanitation measures.
Particularly, antibiotics are overused in the 43 of children. Nearly one third of the daily 10,000 outpatients at the Beijing Children’s Hospital take intravenous（进入静脉的）drips that largely contain antibiotics, said Yang Yonghong, a doctor with the hospital.
“Some doctors might lack proper training on how to 44 antibiotics in a more precise way and avoid 45 risks. Some simply want to play it safe,” said Zhu Zhenggang, president of Shanghai-based Ruijin Hospital.
The ministry 46 a nationwide campaign over the past six months to 47 the use of antibiotics. Vice Health Minister Ma Xiaowei admitted that the government faces great challenges as many public hospitals have 48 supervision on prescription safety under heavy pressure from patients.
Insiders also noted that the overuse of antibiotics was partly 49 by profit-seeking pharmacy firms. There are more than 6,000 pharmacy companies in China that produce more than 1,000 kinds of antibiotics.
About 60 percent of the newly approved medicines by the State Food and Drug Administration last year were antibiotics. According to the SFDA, the country reported 690,000 cases of adverse drug reactions caused by abuse of medicine, including 600 deaths in 2010.

I’ve been teaching piano lessons in my spare time for over 30 years. Even though I have never had the 50 of having a prodigy（天才）, I have taught some very 51 students.
However, I have also had my share of what I call ‘musically 52 ’pupils—one such pupil being Robby, an 11 year old boy, who told me that it had always been his mother’s (a single mom) __53__to hear him play the piano. So I took him as a student.
From the beginning Robby seemed to 54 the natural capability needed to excel. But he dutifully reviewed the elementary piano pieces that I 55 all my students to learn. Over the months he tried and tried 56 I listened and tried to encourage him.
Then one day Robby stopped coming for his lessons. And I was glad about that. After all, he was a bad 57 for my teaching!
Then came the recital（演奏会）. To my 58 , Robby, having received a flyer, asked to be in it.
He told me that his mother had been sick and unable to take him to his piano lessons, but that he had been 59 . “Please Miss Honor, I’ve just got to play.” he insisted. I don’t know what led me to allow him to play in the recital—perhaps it was his 60 or maybe something inside of me saying that it would be all right.
On the night of the performance, I put Robby 61 in the program, just before I was to come up and thank all the students and play a finishing piece. I thought that any 62 he might do would come at the end of the program and I could always salvage（挽救）his 63 performance through my ‘curtain closer’.
It turned out that Robby played wonderfully.

（A）
One day, when Anna was about to walk into her office, the headmaster, Mr. Henry stopped her.
“Now,” he said, “I want you to tell me the truth, my dear.”
“Naturally,” said Anna shortly, fearing that something terrible had happened.
“I have had a most serious accusation（控告）made against you by Mrs. Bond.”
“Mrs. Bond ” said Anna, not understanding. Janet Bond was a quiet, little mouse of a child. As far as Anna could remember she had never had cause to speak an angry word to the girl.
“Mrs. Bond,” went on Mr. Henry, “tells me that you scolded her daughter yesterday afternoon.”
“Scolded ” cried Anna. “I don’t scold. At least not in school,” she added honestly.
“Mrs. Bond’s story is that Janet was a little late back to school in the afternoon. She said that the child had to spend some time in the bathroom, which meant she set out from home a little late.”
“Just a minute,” said Anna, beginning to understand. “She did come late, very late. I had marked her absent, of course. Then she wandered in, when we’d started our paper--cutting, and I believe I said she was a nuisance（讨厌的人）. She didn’t appear to hear, and was certainly quite cheerful.”
“Ah, a nuisance.” Mr. Henry jumped on the word. “You’re sure you only said a nuisance.”
“I may not even have said that,” Anna replied. “It was no more than slight displeasure that I felt and I certainly didn’t scold.”
“Mrs. Bond said that you called her child a blasted（该死的）nuisance. Is that true ”
“Indeed it isn’t,” said Anna, “The child or the mother has made it up!”
Mr. Henry was satisfied with Anna’s explanation.
“Just as I thought, my dear, but of course I had to make sure.”
65. When Mr. Henry stopped Anna, he______.
A. made her feel worried at first B. thought she had done something wrong
C. had made up his mind to scold her D. wanted to tell her a true story
66. Mr. Henry thought that______.
A. Janet had scolded Anna B. Anna had scolded Janet
C. Anna would not tell the truth D. Mrs. Bond had not told the truth
67. To call a child a nuisance is______.
A. not considered serious by the teacher B. considered a serious accusation
C. obviously upsetting for the child D. a sign of great anger
68. Mr. Henry considered Anna a______teacher.

（C）
Nowadays, people have a heated discussion on whether the pressure on international sports players kills the essence (真谛) of sport —the pursuit of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The individual representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself; he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for the entire nation’s hopes, dreams and reputation.
A good example is the football Word Cup. Football is the world’s most important sport. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success. Mention Argentina (阿根廷) to someone and the chances are that he’ll think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup put Argentina on the map.
Sports fans and supporters get quite irrational about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to Argentina, where the finals were played.
So, am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport Certainly not! Do the Argentineans really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football, their nation is in every way better than all others Not really, But it’s nice to know that you won and that in one way at least your country is the best.
72. According to the passage, if a sportsman only thinks about winning, he will .
A. fail to succeed B. lose enjoyment C. be successful D. be unreasonable
73. The main idea of the first paragraph is that .
A. children take part in all kinds of sports because sports activities give them pleasure.
B. competitions between different school teams make sports no longer a personal act for fun.
C. Some people believe that international competition makes sports a task, a responsibility, for the individuals.
D. some people think international competition is in a way opposite to the pursuit of personal excellence.
74. What does the speaker mean when he says “In a sense, winning the World Cup put Argentina on the map”
A. Winning the World Cup makes Argentina a football power in the world.
B. Argentina is not important before it wins the World Cup.
C. Winning the World Cup gives weight to Argentina’s position in the world.
D. Argentina is world-famous for its football because of its obvious position on the map.
75. The word “irrational” in the third paragraph means .
A. passionate B. unreasonable C. angry D. happy
Section C
Directions Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
A. More and more widely used credit cards in USAB. credit cards’ disadvantagesC. Convenience in shopping with credit cardsD. Limit to a credit cardE. The wise way of using a credit cardF. High cost for not paying the bank in time
76.
Credit cards are becoming increasingly popular in people’s daily life. Credit cards offer two major services. First, they are easier and safer to carry than large amounts of money. Second, they permit people to borrow—to buy things they want even when they do not have enough money to pay the full price. Credit cards make it possible to spread out payments over weeks or months.
77.
To receive credit cards, people must prove that they earn enough to pay for what they buy. And they usually must prove that they have paid back any money they borrowed in the past. Then, after they receive the card, credit companies limit how much they can buy with it. Visa and Mastercard, for example, do not permit most of their users to owe more than $1,500 yet even with these restrictions. Credit cards often make it too easy for people to spend the money they cannot pay back.
78.
With credit cards, people pay for goods or services at the end of each month, instead of when they buy them. And when the time does come to pay, most credit cards offer people a choice. They can pay all of what they owe for the month. Or they can pay just part—usually between five and ten percent—of what they owe.
79.
Studies of credit card use have found that each month, about half of all card users pay the full amount they owe. The others pay only part of the amount. It is this group that provides credit card companies with most of their earnings. That is because the people pay a service charge—‘interest’—for the right to postpone full payment. Most pay an interest rate of about 19 percent a year of what they owe. In the last few years, there has been increasing criticism of these high interest rates on credit cards.
80.
The use of credit cards continues to increase. Some people say that in the near future credit cards will replace money completely, but others believe that event is unlikely. However, they think Americans will be using credit cards more and more. A major reason for this is the increasing fear of crime. Credit cards—unlike real money—can be replaced if they are lost or stolen.
Section D
Directions Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
The European Union’s executive body yesterday said it wants to spend some 50 billion euros (US$70 billion) over the next decade on transport, energy and telecommunications projects to better link its member states across national borders.
The proposals come against a background of a continent-wide financial crisis that has prompted heavy criticism of public spending by the EU at a time when national governments are cutting down budgets.
EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso insisted, however, that the Connecting Europe initiative is necessary to overcome the limits of national governments often looking to serve their own electorate（全体选民） first and neglecting multinational plans that would profit the 500 million EU citizens as a whole.
“We are closing the missing links in Europe’s infrastructure(基础设施) networks that otherwise would not be built,” Barroso said, adding that by putting forward the funds for 2014-2020, “we are making a down payment（保证金）or Europe’s future growth and jobs.”
Barroso also launched the idea for special bonds to boost the programs. He said that in a pre-2014 phase, the commission wants to use up to 230 million euros of its budget to mobilize private investment of some 4.5 billion euros.
The overall plan and bond financing received a mixed response.
Guy Verhofstadt, the leader of the ALDE liberal fraction at the European Parliament, said yesterday’s “project bonds launch is a welcome and overdue step in the right direction.”
“If we want to stimulate growth and job creation in Europe, we have to get on with upgrading our major infrastructure networks and be creative about attracting third party investment,” he said.
Germany, the economic juggernaut of the 27-nation EU, insisted that transport network development was foremost the responsibility of the private sector.
“A broad financing of network expansion through the EU budget cannot in any case be a solution.” said Philipp Roesler, Germany’s minister for the economy and technology.
The Connecting Europe plan seeks to invest 31.7 billion euros in the transport sector to better link the network of roads, trains and waterways across borders to create a smooth single market.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
81.Europe’s infrastructure networks will be built to .
82. Most of the national governments in EU are cutting down budgets because .
83. What’s Roesler’s response to the overall plan and bond financing
84. According to the passage, how can the EU stimulate growth and job creation

Chinese medical experts have warned that antibiotics (抗生素) are “ 41 overused” in hospitals, which may cause serious side-effects for the health of an entire generation.
According to the ministry, 70 percent of Chinese inpatients have received antibiotics, while the maximum number set by the World Health Organization is 30 percent. About 97 percent of 42__ patients used antibiotics but research showed that a large number of them could avoid the need if hospitals conducted proper sanitation measures.
Particularly, antibiotics are overused in the 43 of children. Nearly one third of the daily 10,000 outpatients at the Beijing Children’s Hospital take intravenous（进入静脉的）drips that largely contain antibiotics, said Yang Yonghong, a doctor with the hospital.
“Some doctors might lack proper training on how to 44 antibiotics in a more precise way and avoid 45 risks. Some simply want to play it safe,” said Zhu Zhenggang, president of Shanghai-based Ruijin Hospital.
The ministry 46 a nationwide campaign over the past six months to 47 the use of antibiotics. Vice Health Minister Ma Xiaowei admitted that the government faces great challenges as many public hospitals have 48 supervision on prescription safety under heavy pressure from patients.
Insiders also noted that the overuse of antibiotics was partly 49 by profit-seeking pharmacy firms. There are more than 6,000 pharmacy companies in China that produce more than 1,000 kinds of antibiotics.
About 60 percent of the newly approved medicines by the State Food and Drug Administration last year were antibiotics. According to the SFDA, the country reported 690,000 cases of adverse drug reactions caused by abuse of medicine, including 600 deaths in 2010.

I’ve been teaching piano lessons in my spare time for over 30 years. Even though I have never had the 50 of having a prodigy（天才）, I have taught some very 51 students.
However, I have also had my share of what I call ‘musically 52 ’pupils—one such pupil being Robby, an 11 year old boy, who told me that it had always been his mother’s (a single mom) __53__to hear him play the piano. So I took him as a student.
From the beginning Robby seemed to 54 the natural capability needed to excel. But he dutifully reviewed the elementary piano pieces that I 55 all my students to learn. Over the months he tried and tried 56 I listened and tried to encourage him.
Then one day Robby stopped coming for his lessons. And I was glad about that. After all, he was a bad 57 for my teaching!
Then came the recital（演奏会）. To my 58 , Robby, having received a flyer, asked to be in it.
He told me that his mother had been sick and unable to take him to his piano lessons, but that he had been 59 . “Please Miss Honor, I’ve just got to play.” he insisted. I don’t know what led me to allow him to play in the recital—perhaps it was his 60 or maybe something inside of me saying that it would be all right.
On the night of the performance, I put Robby 61 in the program, just before I was to come up and thank all the students and play a finishing piece. I thought that any 62 he might do would come at the end of the program and I could always salvage（挽救）his 63 performance through my ‘curtain closer’.

（A）
One day, when Anna was about to walk into her office, the headmaster, Mr. Henry stopped her.
“Now,” he said, “I want you to tell me the truth, my dear.”
“Naturally,” said Anna shortly, fearing that something terrible had happened.
“I have had a most serious accusation（控告）made against you by Mrs. Bond.”
“Mrs. Bond ” said Anna, not understanding. Janet Bond was a quiet, little mouse of a child. As far as Anna could remember she had never had cause to speak an angry word to the girl.
“Mrs. Bond,” went on Mr. Henry, “tells me that you scolded her daughter yesterday afternoon.”
“Scolded ” cried Anna. “I don’t scold. At least not in school,” she added honestly.
“Mrs. Bond’s story is that Janet was a little late back to school in the afternoon. She said that the child had to spend some time in the bathroom, which meant she set out from home a little late.”
“Just a minute,” said Anna, beginning to understand. “She did come late, very late. I had marked her absent, of course. Then she wandered in, when we’d started our paper--cutting, and I believe I said she was a nuisance（讨厌的人）. She didn’t appear to hear, and was certainly quite cheerful.”
“Ah, a nuisance.” Mr. Henry jumped on the word. “You’re sure you only said a nuisance.”
“I may not even have said that,” Anna replied. “It was no more than slight displeasure that I felt and I certainly didn’t scold.”
“Mrs. Bond said that you called her child a blasted（该死的）nuisance. Is that true ”
“Indeed it isn’t,” said Anna, “The child or the mother has made it up!”
Mr. Henry was satisfied with Anna’s explanation.
“Just as I thought, my dear, but of course I had to make sure.”
65. When Mr. Henry stopped Anna, he______.
A. made her feel worried at first B. thought she had done something wrong

（C）
Nowadays, people have a heated discussion on whether the pressure on international sports players kills the essence (真谛) of sport —the pursuit of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The individual representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself; he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for the entire nation’s hopes, dreams and reputation.
A good example is the football Word Cup. Football is the world’s most important sport. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success. Mention Argentina (阿根廷) to someone and the chances are that he’ll think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup put Argentina on the map.
Sports fans and supporters get quite irrational about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to Argentina, where the finals were played.
So, am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport Certainly not! Do the Argentineans really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football, their nation is in every way better than all others Not really, But it’s nice to know that you won and that in one way at least your country is the best.
72. According to the passage, if a sportsman only thinks about winning, he will .
A. fail to succeed B. lose enjoyment C. be successful D. be unreasonable
73. The main idea of the first paragraph is that .
A. children take part in all kinds of sports because sports activities give them pleasure.
B. competitions between different school teams make sports no longer a personal act for fun.
C. Some people believe that international competition makes sports a task, a responsibility, for the individuals.
D. some people think international competition is in a way opposite to the pursuit of personal excellence.
74. What does the speaker mean when he says “In a sense, winning the World Cup put Argentina on the map”
A. Winning the World Cup makes Argentina a football power in the world.
B. Argentina is not important before it wins the World Cup.
C. Winning the World Cup gives weight to Argentina’s position in the world.
D. Argentina is world-famous for its football because of its obvious position on the map.
75. The word “irrational” in the third paragraph means .
A. passionate B. unreasonable C. angry D. happy
Section C
Directions Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
A. More and more widely used credit cards in USAB. credit cards’ disadvantagesC. Convenience in shopping with credit cardsD. Limit to a credit cardE. The wise way of using a credit cardF. High cost for not paying the bank in time
76.
Credit cards are becoming increasingly popular in people’s daily life. Credit cards offer two major services. First, they are easier and safer to carry than large amounts of money. Second, they permit people to borrow—to buy things they want even when they do not have enough money to pay the full price. Credit cards make it possible to spread out payments over weeks or months.
77.
To receive credit cards, people must prove that they earn enough to pay for what they buy. And they usually must prove that they have paid back any money they borrowed in the past. Then, after they receive the card, credit companies limit how much they can buy with it. Visa and Mastercard, for example, do not permit most of their users to owe more than $1,500 yet even with these restrictions. Credit cards often make it too easy for people to spend the money they cannot pay back.
78.
With credit cards, people pay for goods or services at the end of each month, instead of when they buy them. And when the time does come to pay, most credit cards offer people a choice. They can pay all of what they owe for the month. Or they can pay just part—usually between five and ten percent—of what they owe.
79.
Studies of credit card use have found that each month, about half of all card users pay the full amount they owe. The others pay only part of the amount. It is this group that provides credit card companies with most of their earnings. That is because the people pay a service charge—‘interest’—for the right to postpone full payment. Most pay an interest rate of about 19 percent a year of what they owe. In the last few years, there has been increasing criticism of these high interest rates on credit cards.
80.
The use of credit cards continues to increase. Some people say that in the near future credit cards will replace money completely, but others believe that event is unlikely. However, they think Americans will be using credit cards more and more. A major reason for this is the increasing fear of crime. Credit cards—unlike real money—can be replaced if they are lost or stolen.
Section D
Directions Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
The European Union’s executive body yesterday said it wants to spend some 50 billion euros (US$70 billion) over the next decade on transport, energy and telecommunications projects to better link its member states across national borders.
The proposals come against a background of a continent-wide financial crisis that has prompted heavy criticism of public spending by the EU at a time when national governments are cutting down budgets.
EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso insisted, however, that the Connecting Europe initiative is necessary to overcome the limits of national governments often looking to serve their own electorate（全体选民） first and neglecting multinational plans that would profit the 500 million EU citizens as a whole.
“We are closing the missing links in Europe’s infrastructure(基础设施) networks that otherwise would not be built,” Barroso said, adding that by putting forward the funds for 2014-2020, “we are making a down payment（保证金）or Europe’s future growth and jobs.”
Barroso also launched the idea for special bonds to boost the programs. He said that in a pre-2014 phase, the commission wants to use up to 230 million euros of its budget to mobilize private investment of some 4.5 billion euros.
The overall plan and bond financing received a mixed response.
Guy Verhofstadt, the leader of the ALDE liberal fraction at the European Parliament, said yesterday’s “project bonds launch is a welcome and overdue step in the right direction.”
“If we want to stimulate growth and job creation in Europe, we have to get on with upgrading our major infrastructure networks and be creative about attracting third party investment,” he said.
Germany, the economic juggernaut of the 27-nation EU, insisted that transport network development was foremost the responsibility of the private sector.
“A broad financing of network expansion through the EU budget cannot in any case be a solution.” said Philipp Roesler, Germany’s minister for the economy and technology.
The Connecting Europe plan seeks to invest 31.7 billion euros in the transport sector to better link the network of roads, trains and waterways across borders to create a smooth single market.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
81.Europe’s infrastructure networks will be built to .
