參考答案

56—60CCBDD61—65BCDAC66—70ADCDC71—75CAABC

56.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一句可知。建立國家保健中心的最初目的是為農(nóng)村居民提供免費(fèi)的基本

健康護(hù)理，而不是針對(duì)所有的人，所以前兩項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。

57.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第4段“TheNHSisthebiggestemployerinEurope…”可知。從第二段第一句

可以看出國家保健中心由中央政府直接負(fù)責(zé)，但山地方當(dāng)局管理，所以A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。

58.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段話"andencouragingGPstocompetefbrpatients"可知政府鼓勵(lì)全科

醫(yī)生之間相互競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，而不是讓他們進(jìn)行競(jìng)賽，看誰的醫(yī)術(shù)高明。

59.D猜測(cè)詞義題。前面提到醫(yī)生開藥方及給病人治療牙病需要收費(fèi)，再結(jié)合but一詞可推斷兒童、

孕婦等可享受免費(fèi)治療。

60.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句可知。

61.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。結(jié)合第一則廣告“he/shewillhavehadatleastthreeyears，experience…”和第二則

廣告“Atleastthreeyears'experienceon...”可知。

62.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)aInterviewswillbearrangedinthenearestcitytoapplicanfshome.“可知。

63.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)兩則廣告的聯(lián)系方式可知。

64.A推理判斷題。前面講的是美元貶值，所以此處的green-back應(yīng)該指的是美元。

65.C推理判斷題。日本財(cái)政部長(zhǎng)反復(fù)警告美元貶值，并威脅說要采取行動(dòng)抵制突如其來的變化，由

此可見他非常擔(dān)心。

66.A猜測(cè)詞義題。根據(jù)上文日本財(cái)政部長(zhǎng)的反應(yīng)及下文Jean-ClaudeTrichet所要采取的行動(dòng)可判此項(xiàng)

正確。

67.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段可知。

68.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第二句可知。

69.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。D項(xiàng)是黑洞形成前的現(xiàn)象。

70.C根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段uNothingweknowofcouldgointoablackholewithoutbeingcrushed.可知。其

余三項(xiàng)都是科學(xué)家們的猜測(cè)。

71.C主旨大意題。題目的選擇應(yīng)具有高度的概括性、強(qiáng)烈的針對(duì)性及一定的醒目性。首先可排除A

項(xiàng)，因?yàn)楹诙丛缫巡辉偈切迈r的話題。B、D兩項(xiàng)只是短文的兩個(gè)方面。

72.A推理判斷題。根據(jù)預(yù)防禽流感的一系列措施可判斷政府對(duì)此非常重視，正計(jì)劃采取行動(dòng)抵制禽

流感。

73.A推理判斷題。根據(jù)前兩段的第一句話可知。

74.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第4段中提到“butstressedtheneedtostudytheviewsofthepublic...”，可見政府

非常重視聽取公眾的意見。

75.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。DrYorkChow只是說香港在處理瘟疫方面比周邊地區(qū)或國家更富有經(jīng)驗(yàn)，所以他

并不是說其它地區(qū)或國家凡事都要向香港請(qǐng)教。
