该项涂黑。
A
Once Dr．Mellinkoff invited me to join him at the hospital to discuss interesting cases with his
students．The case at hand was a Guatemalan man, aged 34, who had a fever and many other
medical ^problems．His condition was not improving, and there was not much hope he would live．
Dr．: Mellinkoff asked to see the patient．He introduced himself in Spanish and, in a very gentle
voice, asked how he felt．The patient smiled and said everything was all right．Then the doctor
asked if he was able to eat．The patient said that he had no desire to eat．
"Are you getting food you like?"
The patient said nothing．
"Do you get the kind of food you have at home?"
The answer was no．
The doctor put his hand on the man's shoulder and his voice was very soft．
"If; you had food that you liked, would you eat it?"
"Yes, yes," the patient said．
The change in the patient's appearance couldn't have been more obvious．Nothing was said,
but it was easy to tell that a message had been sent and! had also been received．
Later, the doctor asked why the Guatemalan man wasn't getting food he could eat．One of the
students said, "We all know how difficult it is to get the kitchen to make special meals．"
"Suppose," the doctor replied, "you felt a certain medicine was absolutely necessary but that
our hospital didn't carry it, would you accept defeat or would you insist the hospital meet your
request?"
"I would probably insist," the student said．
"Very well," the doctor said．"You might want to try the same method in the kitchen．It won't
be-easy, but I can help you．Meanwhile, let's get some food inside this man as fast as possible, and
stay with it．Or he'll be killed by hunger．By the way, there must be someone among you who can
speak Spanish．If we want to make real progress, we need to be able to talk with him．"
Three weeks later．Doctor Mellinkoff told me that the Guatemalan ma n had left the hospital
under his own power． It takes more than medicine to help sick people; you also have to talk to
them and make them comfortable．
56．The patient had no desire to eat because
A．he was not hungry B．he was seriously ill
C．he was given special meals D．he was not satisfied with the food
57．According to the passage, we can conclude that .
A．the patient’s native language was Spanish

C．Dr. Mellinkoff performed an operation on the patient
D．the hospital failed to provide the right medicine for the patient
58．Which of the following words can be used to describe Dr. Mellinkoff?
A．Cold. B．Considerate. C．Curious. D．Careless.
59．What do you think Dr. Mellinkoff wanted to tell his students in this case?
A．Doctors should be good at foreign languages.
B．Doctors should know their patients’ real problems.
C．Doctors should try to improve their medical skills.

B
Gifts for the hard to please

It tastes just like chicken
Away from home, eating is more than just a way to keep your stomach full．It is a language all
its own, and no words can say, "Glad to meet you ．．．glad to be doing business with you ．．．"
quite like sharing a meal offered by your host．
Clearly, mealtime is not the time for you to say, "Thanks, but no thanks．" Acceptance of the
food on your plate means acceptance of host, country, and company．So, no matter how difficult it
may be to swallow, swallow．Or, as one experienced traveler says, "Travel with a cast-iron stomach
and eat everything everywhere．"
Often, the food offered represents proudly your host country's eating culture．What would
Ataiericans think of a French person who refused to take a bite of homemade apple pie or sirloin?
Our discomfort comes not so much from the thing itself; it comes from our umamiliarity with
it．After all, an oyster has remarkably the same look as a sheep's eye; and a first look at a lobster
would remind almost anybody of a creature from a science fiction movie, not something you dip in
butter and eat．By the way, in Saudi Arabia sheep's eyes are a famous dish and in parts of China it's
bear's paw soup．
Can you refuse such food without being rude? Most experienced business travelers say no, at
least not before taking at least a few bites．It helps, though, to slice any item very thin．This way,
you minimize the taste and the reminder of where it came from．Or, " Swallow it quickly, " as one
traveler recommends．"I still can't tell you what sheep's eyeballs taste like．" As for dealing with
taste, the old line that "it tastes just like chicken" is often thankfully true．Even when the "it" is
really rat or snake．
Another useful piece of advice is not knowing what you are eating．What's for dinner? Don't
ask． Avoid glancing into the kitchen or looking at English-language menus． Your host will be
pleased that you are eating the food he offers, and who knows? Maybe it really is chicken in that
soup．
63．The purpose of the article is to ____．
A．introduce unfamiliar food
B．share the writer's personal experiences
C．suggest ways to overcome a cultural barrier
D．advise on how to politely refuse to eat foreign food
64．According to the writer, people hesitate at strange food mainly due to ____．
A．the way it looks B．safety worries
C．lack of in formation about it D．the unfamiliar atmosphere
65．From the article we can infer that ____．
A．an American may feel comfortable with sirloin
B．one should refuse strange food after a few bites
C．English-language menus are not always d ependable
D．one needs a cast-iron stomach to travel in other cultures
66．One may say "It tastes just like chicken．" when ____．
A．showing respect for chicken-loving nations
B．greeting people with different dieting habits
C．evaluating chefs at an international food festival
D．getting someone to try a visually unpleasant meal
D
Employment practices often reflect the needs of employers several decades ago．Times have
changed．And so too has the Canadian workforce．Yet many employment practices have not kept
pace with this change． For example, some work environments and washrooms designed for
able-bodied workers seldom accommodate people who use a wheelchair．
Modernizing these practices is what employment equality is about．For example, making sure
work benches and washrooms are adapted for disabled people entering the workplace paves the
way for work ers who become disabled on the job．By doing so, any given group of people? formerly
discriminated against-now has access to better employment opportunities．
The objective, of course, is to make the workplace reflect Canadian society．However, this does
not necessarily mean setting and enforcing quotas(实行配额） . Rather, it means identifying the
barriers to employment and designing measures, with achievable goals and clear timetables, to
remove them．
For example, according to the Canadian Union of Public Employees-Canada's largest union, it
would be unrealistic in the short term to insist that because half of the working age population is
women, that half of the employees of an engineering firm should be women．At this moment, there
would not be enough qualified female engineers．
A reasonable numerical goal would be based on the number of women who actually are
engineers （8% ） and those who are studying to become engineers （25% ）．A short term goal
of 13% would be appropriate without running the risk of hiring unqualified people．
Equally important is to ensure people who have been disadvantaged the chance to become
qualified for new opportunities．If aboriginal people （土著居民） , for example, can't qualify for
certain jobs because they haven't had access to appropriate educational opportunities, then an
employment equality program would have to address that problem with training programs.
Employment laws in this country cannot be considered displeasing if they guarantee all
Canadians fair and equal access to the workforce.
67．The passage is mainly about how to ____.
A．modernize equipment for the disabled at work
B．achieve equality of employment opportunities
C．protect women's rights in employment
D．complete a job training program
68．The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 3 refers to ____.
A．barriers B．measures C．goals D．timetables
69．The example of women shows that ____.
A．only a small percentage of women engineers will get promoted
B．13% of the working age women should be hired as engineers
C．policy makers should adopt a practical and flexible approach
D．the quota of women for employment should be raised
70．The underlined word "address" in Paragraph 6 probably means _
A．put forward B．run into C．find out D．deal with

What is a dream?
For centuries, people have wondered about the strange places that they seem to visit in their
sleep. 71 However, they have been valued as necessary to a person's health and happiness.
Historically people thought dreams contained messages from God. It was only in the twentieth
century that people started to study dreams scientifically believing that they tell about a person's
character. 72 He believed that dreams allow a person to express fantasies or fears, which
would be socially unacceptable in real life.
The second theory to become popular was Carl Jung's compensation theory. Jung, a former
student of Freud, said that the purpose of a dream is not to hide something, but rather to
communicate it to the dreamer. 73 Thus, people who think too highly of themselves may
dream about falling; those who think too little of themselves dream of being heroes.
Using more recent research, William Domhoff from the University of California found that
dreaming is a mental skill that needs time to develop in humans. , 74 Until they reach age
five, they can not express very well what their dreams are about. Once people become adults,
there is little or no change in their dreams. The dreams of men and women differ. For instance,
The characters that appear in the dreams of men are often other men, and often involve
physical aggression.
The meaning of dreams continues to be difficult to understand. 75 If you dream that a
loved one is going to die, do not panic. The dream may have meaning, but it d oes not mean that
your loved one is going to die.
A．Dreams make up for what is lacking in waking life.
B．However, people should not take their dreams as reality.
C．They have been considered as meaningless nighttime journeys.
D．It gives scientists chances to better understand human mind.
E．Children do not dream as much as adults.
F．They think their mind is trying to tell them something.
G．First, there was Sigmund Freud’s theory.
