Should doctors ever lie to benefit their patients — to speed recovery or to cover the coming of death. In medicine as in law, government and other lines of work, the requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed (變矮小)by greater needs: the need to shelter from brutal news or to uphold a promise of secrecy or to promote the public interest.
What should doctors say, for example, to a 46-year-old man coming in for a routine physical checkup just before going on vacation with his family who, though he feels in perfect health, is found to have a form of cancer that will cause him to die within six months. Is it best to tell him the truth? If he asks, should doctors lie that he is not ill, or minimize the gravity of the illness? Should they at least hide the truth until after the family vacation?
Doctors face such choices often. At times, they see important reasons to lie for the patients' own sake; in their eyes, such lies differ sharply from self-serving ones.
Studies show that most doctors sincerely believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition, and that informing them risks destroying their hope, so that they may recover more slowly, or deteriorate (惡化)faster, perhaps even commit suicide.
But other studies show that, contrary to the belief of many physicians, a great majority of patients do want to be told the truth, even about serious illness, and feel cheated when they learn that they have been misled. We are also learning that truthful information, kind-hearted conveyed, helps patients cope with illness: help them tolerate pain better, need less medicine, and even recover faster after an operation.
There is an urgent need to debate this issue openly. Not only in medicine, but in other professions as well, practitioners may find themselves repeatedly in difficulty where serious consequences seem avoidable only through deception (欺騙). Yet the public has every reason to know the professional deception, for such practices are peculiarly likely to become deeply rooted, to spread, and to trust. Neither in medicine, nor in law, government, or the social sciences can there be comfort in the old saying, "What you don't know can't hurt you."
61. The requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed by the following needs except ________.
A. the need to shelter from brutal news
B. the need to promote the public interest
C. the need to expose big corruptions
D. the need to uphold the promise of secrecy
62. As to the 46-year-old man mentioned in the passage, doctors ________.
A. may be in a dilemma
B. should tell him the truth
C. should hide the truth
D. must let him go on vacation
63. According to some studies, most of the doctors believe the followings except ________.
A. that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition
B. that the truthful information may make the patients recover slowly
C. that the patients do want to be told the truth
D. that the truthful information can even make the patients commit suicide
64. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the last paragraph?
A. There is a need to discuss whether to lie or not.
B. The writer believes “What you don’t know can’t hurt you”.
C. Many practitioners may try to avoid serious consequences through deception.
D. The public has every reason to know the professional deception.
65. What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?
A. Deception is beneficial to patients.
B. Whether patients should be told the truth of their illness.
C. Whether patients really want to know the truth of their illness.
D. Who benefits from deception. C
Seals may be able to detect fish up to 100 m away using only their whiskers (胡須), say scientists. Researchers used an artificial fish in their experiment, to create a “trail” in the water that a seal could detect. They described how a trained seal, named Henry, was able to indicate, with a rapid movement of its head, whether the fish moved to the right or to the left.
The study was led by Wolf Hankie of the Marine Science Center at the University of Rostock, Germany. He explained how the seal wore a blindfold (眼罩) and headphones during the experiment to ensure that it could only pick up waves created by the fish with its whiskers. “The animals are actually enthusiastic to wear the mask because it means play time and food rewards,” explained Dr. Hankie.
“We had a small box in the pool to achieve calm water conditions,” he explained. “The seal stayed in the box.” Inside the box, the scientists created a trail with their artificial fish, which was actually a rubber fin (鰭) on a stick that created a trail similar to the swimming motion of a real fish. They operated the fin from outside the box, moving it from left to right or from right to left. The seal responded to the movement by turning its head in the direction that the fin had moved. The seal was able to sense and indicate the direction in which the fin travelled up to 35 seconds after the movement had stopped.
Dr. Hankie believes that seals may also be able to “analyze” the structure of a trail to “work out” more about its source. He and his colleagues used different shapes of fin to create different water disturbances. “They seem to be able to detect differences between different shapes, which might even mean that they can make out different species of fish. We had a surprising result from an experiment with one seal following another,” he said. “The trail left by the first seal was two meters wide, and the second following seal was able to stay right in the middle of it, so it seems they can analyze the internal structure of a trail.”
The researchers are now making experiments using live fish to see how closely seals are able to follow their moving path.
66. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Seals can track movements in the water.
B. An experiment on seals.
C. Seals can make out different species of fish.
D. Seal whiskers sense faraway fish.
67. The underlined word “trail” means ________.
A. wave B. mark C. signal D. fish
68. The seal wore blindfold and headphones so that ________.
A. it could listen to instructions of the scientists
B. the scientists could spot the seal better in the water
C. it could only detect the trail with its whiskers
D. it could become calm
69. We can draw a conclusion that seal whiskers are ________.
A. dull B. sensitive C. artificial D. poisonous
70. Why did Dr. Hankie and his colleagues use different shapes of fin to create different water disturbances?
A. To make the result more correct.
B. To find out whether the seal could distinguish different species of fish.
C. To make the seal more enthusiastic and active.
D. To see if the seal cold work out their sources.
Section B (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.
My name is Bob. My first full-time job after high school was selling vacation packages via telephone for a well-known company. One day, the dialer (接線員) connected me to a man who answered the phone and sounded a bit out of breath. I started with my normal tone, and expecting to hear the normal response, “I don’t want any”, and be hung up on.
Instead he spoke in a weak voice and began to tell me how he wished he could take a vacation like the one I was offering, but he couldn’t because he was dying of emphysema. He explained how he was on oxygen, and it took almost all his energy just to get to the phone to answer the call. I apologized to him for that. He asked me if I smoked and then begged me to stop. He told me smoking is what was killing him. He told me to spend every day with my loved ones, and tell them all the time how much I love them. At this point, I was in tears, and couldn’t control myself, and he could tell. We ended the call, and I put my phone on hold to prevent another call from coming in so I could collect myself.
After a few moments, I decided to write down his name and address, and just send him a card telling him that I appreciated his advice and that I would pray for him and his family. Shortly after, I received a nice letter back from Frank, along with a picture of him and his wife. We continued to write back and forth over the next few months, and became very fond of each other. He was old enough to be my grandfather, and in many ways, I felt as if he was.
About a year later I received a letter from his wife. When I read it, my eyes were filled with tears. She told me how Frank’s battle with the disease had finally come to an end, and he passed away shortly before Christmas. She wanted to thank me for the letters, and then explained how Frank touched many lives over the years. At his funeral, they read the first letter I had written to Frank to show how he affected a 19-year-old he had never even met.

作文：One possible version:
I still remember how nervous when I was on my first day in the new school three years ago, when I found it difficult to follow my teacher in the first English class. The teacher spoke English throughout the class, which was totally different from the lessons I had taken before. In the morning class the next day, the English teacher came to me while I was reading the text aloud as other students. After listening to me for a while, she gave me a big smile and said she liked my voice very much.
The smile shone on the whole day and the following days. A week later, I volunteered to take charge of English study in my class. Thanks to the comforting smile in my first morning class, I began to be confident.
The best example of universally understood body language may be the smile.A smile can help us get through difficult situations and find friends in a world of strangers.A smile can open doors and tear down walls.

Should doctors ever lie to benefit their patients — to speed recovery or to cover the coming of death. In medicine as in law, government and other lines of work, the requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed (變矮小)by greater needs: the need to shelter from brutal news or to uphold a promise of secrecy or to promote the public interest.
What should doctors say, for example, to a 46-year-old man coming in for a routine physical checkup just before going on vacation with his family who, though he feels in perfect health, is found to have a form of cancer that will cause him to die within six months. Is it best to tell him the truth? If he asks, should doctors lie that he is not ill, or minimize the gravity of the illness? Should they at least hide the truth until after the family vacation?
Doctors face such choices often. At times, they see important reasons to lie for the patients' own sake; in their eyes, such lies differ sharply from self-serving ones.
Studies show that most doctors sincerely believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition, and that informing them risks destroying their hope, so that they may recover more slowly, or deteriorate (惡化)faster, perhaps even commit suicide.
But other studies show that, contrary to the belief of many physicians, a great majority of patients do want to be told the truth, even about serious illness, and feel cheated when they learn that they have been misled. We are also learning that truthful information, kind-hearted conveyed, helps patients cope with illness: help them tolerate pain better, need less medicine, and even recover faster after an operation.
There is an urgent need to debate this issue openly. Not only in medicine, but in other professions as well, practitioners may find themselves repeatedly in difficulty where serious consequences seem avoidable only through deception (欺騙). Yet the public has every reason to know the professional deception, for such practices are peculiarly likely to become deeply rooted, to spread, and to trust. Neither in medicine, nor in law, government, or the social sciences can there be comfort in the old saying, "What you don't know can't hurt you."
61. The requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed by the following needs except ________.
A. the need to shelter from brutal news
B. the need to promote the public interest
C. the need to expose big corruptions
D. the need to uphold the promise of secrecy
62. As to the 46-year-old man mentioned in the passage, doctors ________.
A. may be in a dilemma
B. should tell him the truth
C. should hide the truth
D. must let him go on vacation
63. According to some studies, most of the doctors believe the followings except ________.
A. that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition
B. that the truthful information may make the patients recover slowly
C. that the patients do want to be told the truth
D. that the truthful information can even make the patients commit suicide
64. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the last paragraph?
A. There is a need to discuss whether to lie or not.
B. The writer believes “What you don’t know can’t hurt you”.
C. Many practitioners may try to avoid serious consequences through deception.
D. The public has every reason to know the professional deception.
65. What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?
A. Deception is beneficial to patients.
B. Whether patients should be told the truth of their illness.
C. Whether patients really want to know the truth of their illness.
D. Who benefits from deception. C
Seals may be able to detect fish up to 100 m away using only their whiskers (胡須), say scientists. Researchers used an artificial fish in their experiment, to create a “trail” in the water that a seal could detect. They described how a trained seal, named Henry, was able to indicate, with a rapid movement of its head, whether the fish moved to the right or to the left.
The study was led by Wolf Hankie of the Marine Science Center at the University of Rostock, Germany. He explained how the seal wore a blindfold (眼罩) and headphones during the experiment to ensure that it could only pick up waves created by the fish with its whiskers. “The animals are actually enthusiastic to wear the mask because it means play time and food rewards,” explained Dr. Hankie.
“We had a small box in the pool to achieve calm water conditions,” he explained. “The seal stayed in the box.” Inside the box, the scientists created a trail with their artificial fish, which was actually a rubber fin (鰭) on a stick that created a trail similar to the swimming motion of a real fish. They operated the fin from outside the box, moving it from left to right or from right to left. The seal responded to the movement by turning its head in the direction that the fin had moved. The seal was able to sense and indicate the direction in which the fin travelled up to 35 seconds after the movement had stopped.
Dr. Hankie believes that seals may also be able to “analyze” the structure of a trail to “work out” more about its source. He and his colleagues used different shapes of fin to create different water disturbances. “They seem to be able to detect differences between different shapes, which might even mean that they can make out different species of fish. We had a surprising result from an experiment with one seal following another,” he said. “The trail left by the first seal was two meters wide, and the second following seal was able to stay right in the middle of it, so it seems they can analyze the internal structure of a trail.”
The researchers are now making experiments using live fish to see how closely seals are able to follow their moving path.
66. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Seals can track movements in the water.
B. An experiment on seals.
C. Seals can make out different species of fish.
D. Seal whiskers sense faraway fish.
67. The underlined word “trail” means ________.
A. wave B. mark C. signal D. fish
68. The seal wore blindfold and headphones so that ________.
A. it could listen to instructions of the scientists
B. the scientists could spot the seal better in the water
C. it could only detect the trail with its whiskers
D. it could become calm
69. We can draw a conclusion that seal whiskers are ________.
A. dull B. sensitive C. artificial D. poisonous
70. Why did Dr. Hankie and his colleagues use different shapes of fin to create different water disturbances?
A. To make the result more correct.
B. To find out whether the seal could distinguish different species of fish.
C. To make the seal more enthusiastic and active.
D. To see if the seal cold work out their sources.

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.
My name is Bob. My first full-time job after high school was selling vacation packages via telephone for a well-known company. One day, the dialer (接線員) connected me to a man who answered the phone and sounded a bit out of breath. I started with my normal tone, and expecting to hear the normal response, “I don’t want any”, and be hung up on.
Instead he spoke in a weak voice and began to tell me how he wished he could take a vacation like the one I was offering, but he couldn’t because he was dying of emphysema. He explained how he was on oxygen, and it took almost all his energy just to get to the phone to answer the call. I apologized to him for that. He asked me if I smoked and then begged me to stop. He told me smoking is what was killing him. He told me to spend every day with my loved ones, and tell them all the time how much I love them. At this point, I was in tears, and couldn’t control myself, and he could tell. We ended the call, and I put my phone on hold to prevent another call from coming in so I could collect myself.
After a few moments, I decided to write down his name and address, and just send him a card telling him that I appreciated his advice and that I would pray for him and his family. Shortly after, I received a nice letter back from Frank, along with a picture of him and his wife. We continued to write back and forth over the next few months, and became very fond of each other. He was old enough to be my grandfather, and in many ways, I felt as if he was.
About a year later I received a letter from his wife. When I read it, my eyes were filled with tears. She told me how Frank’s battle with the disease had finally come to an end, and he passed away shortly before Christmas. She wanted to thank me for the letters, and then explained how Frank touched many lives over the years. At his funeral, they read the first letter I had written to Frank to show how he affected a 19-year-old he had never even met.

作文：One possible version:
I still remember how nervous when I was on my first day in the new school three years ago, when I found it difficult to follow my teacher in the first English class. The teacher spoke English throughout the class, which was totally different from the lessons I had taken before. In the morning class the next day, the English teacher came to me while I was reading the text aloud as other students. After listening to me for a while, she gave me a big smile and said she liked my voice very much.
The smile shone on the whole day and the following days. A week later, I volunteered to take charge of English study in my class. Thanks to the comforting smile in my first morning class, I began to be confident.
The best example of universally understood body language may be the smile.A smile can help us get through difficult situations and find friends in a world of strangers.A smile can open doors and tear down walls.
