The United States has more than one hundred twenty medical colleges. The American Association of Medical Colleges says these schools have about seventy thousand students.How hard is it to get into one of the top medical schools, like for example the one at Yale University in Connecticut? Last year almost three thousand seven hundred students hoped to get accepted there. Only one hundred seventy-six -- or less than five percent -- were admitted.People who want to become medical doctors often study large amounts of biology, chemistry and other science. Some students work for a year or two in a medical or research job before they try to get accepted to medical school.Medical students spend their first two years in classroom study. They learn about the body and all of its systems. And they begin studying diseases -- how to recognize and treat them. By the third year, students guided by experienced doctors begin working with patients in hospitals. As the students watch and learn, they think about the kind of medicine they would like to practice as doctors. During the fourth year, students begin applying to hospital programs for the additional training they will need after medical school. Competition for a residency at a top hospital can be fierce.A medical education can be very costly, especially at a private school. One year at a private medical college can cost forty thousand dollars or more. The average at a public medical school is more than fifteen thousand dollars. Most students have to take out loans to pay for medical school. Many finish their education heavily in debt.Doctors are among the highest paid professionals in the United States. Specialists in big cities are generally the highest paid. But there are also doctors who earn considerably less, including those in poor communities.(1)Which of the following ideas is NOT suggested in the passage?A、It is hard to get into one of the top medical schools.B、The United States has more than one hundred twenty medical colleges.C、Medical students need two years' classroom study.D、After graduating from medical schools, the students become doctors.(2)How many years the medical students take to graduate from medical school?A、2B、3C、4D、1(3)In what way many medical students pay for their medical education?A、Have part-time jobs in hospitals.B、Take out loans.C、Their parents pay for it.D、Work hard for the scholarship.(4)What the medical students begin to do in their fourth year of study?A、Looking for a job.B、Working with patients in hospitalsC、Applying to hospital programs for the additional training.D、Learning about the body and all of its systems(5)_______ are generally the highest paid.A、Specialists in big cities.B、Experienced doctors.C、Doctors in poor communitiesD、Doctors who graduated from private medical schools.

共用题干Learning Disorder一Dyslexia
As many as 20% of all children in the United States suffer from some form of the learning disorder
called dyslexia.
Experts on dyslexia say that the problem is not a disease.They say that persons with dyslexia use infor-
ination in a di价rent way.One of the worlds great thinkers and scientists Albert Einstein was dyslexic.Ein-
stein said that he never thought in words the way that most people do.He said that he thought in pictures in-
stead.The American inventor Thomas Edisoii was also dyslexic.Dyslexia first was recognized in Europe and
the United States more than 80 years ago.Many years passed before doctors discovered that persons with the
disorder were not mentally slow or disabled.The doctors found that the brains of persons with dyslexia are
different,In most people,the left side of the brain一the part that controls language一is larger than the right
side.In persons with dyslexia,the right side of the brain is bigger. Doctors are not sure what causes this
difference.However,research has shown that dyslexia is more common in males than in females,and it is
found more often in persons who are left-handed.No one knows the cause of dyslexia,but some scientists
believe that it may result from chemical changes in a babys body long before it is born.They are trying to
find ways to teach persons with dyslexia. Dyslexic persons think differently and need special kinds of teaching
help.After they have solved their problems with language,they often show themselves to be especially intelligent
or creative.The first cases of dyslexia in Europe were discovered less than a century ago.A:RightB:WrongC:Not mentioned

Few men have influenced the development of American English to the extent that Noah Webster did.After a short career in law,he turned to teaching,but he discovered how inadequate the available schoolbooks were for the children of a new and independent nation.In response to the need for truly American textbooks,Webster published A Grammatical Institute of the English Language,a three-volume work that consisted of a speller,a grammar,and a reader.The first volume,which was generally known as The American Spelling Book,was so popular that eventually it sold more than 80 million copies and provided him with a considerable income for the rest of his life.Can you imagine that?Anyway,in 1807,Noah Webster began his greatest work,An American Dictionary of the English Language.In preparing the manuscript,he devoted ten years to the study of English and its relationship to other languages,and seven more years to the writing itself. Published in two volumes in 1828,An American Dictionary of the English Language has become the recognized authority for usage in the United States.Webster's purpose in writing it was to demonstrate that the American language was developing distinct meanings,pronunciations,and spellings from those of British English. He is responsible for advancing many of the simplified spelling forms that distinguish American English from British.Webster was the first author to gain copyright protection in the United States by being awarded a copyright for The American Spelling Book and he continued to lobby over the next fifty years for the protection of intellectual properties,that is,for author's rights.By the time that Webster brought out the second edition of his dictionary,which included 70,000 entries instead of the original 38,000, the name Webster had become synonymous with American dictionaries.It was this second edition that served as the basis for the many revisions that have been produced by others, ironically,under the uncopyrighted Webster name.Webster remains active in promoting copyright protection throughout his life.A:Right B:Wrong C:Not mentioned

The American Revolution was not arevolution in the sense of a radical or total change. It was not a sudden andviolent overturning of the political and social framework, such as lateroccurred in France and Russia, when both were already independent nations.Significant changes were ushered in, but they were not breathtaking. Whathappened was accelerated evolution rather than outright revolution. During theconflict itself people went on working and praying, marrying and playing. Mostof them were not seriously disturbed by the actual fighting, and many of themore isolated communities scarcely knew that a war was on.
America′s War of Independence heralded thebirth of three modem nations. One was Canada, which received its first largeinflux of English-speaking population from the thousands of loyalists who fledthere from the United States. Another was Australia, which became a penalcolony now that America was no longer available for prisoners and debtors. Thethird new comer--the United States--based itself squarely on republican principles.
Yet even the political overturn was not asrevolutionary as one might suppose. In some states, notable Connecticut andRhode Island, the war largely ratified a colonial self-rule alreadyexisting.British officials, everywhere ousted, were replaced by a home-growngoverning class, which promptly sought a local substitute for king andParliament.
What does the author mean by "people went on working andpraying, marrying and playing" in Paragraph 1?A.People had enough leisure time then.
B.More people got married than divorced.
C.Life went on as usual.
D.The war created new jobs.

问答题Practice 8 The United States has long been known as a “melting pot”, because many of its people are descended from settlers who came from all over the world to make their homes in the new land. The first immigrants in American history came from England and the Netherlands. Attracted by reports of great economic opportunities and religious and political freedom, immigrants from many other countries flocked to the United States in increasing numbers, reaching a peak in the years 1880—1914. Between 1820 and 1980 the United States admitted almost 50 million immigrants. Some 1,360,000 American Indians, descendants of North America's first inhabitants, now reside in the United States. Most live in the West, but many are in the south and north central areas. Of the more than 300 separate tribes, the largest is the Navaho in the Southwest. Black people were first brought to America from Africa as slaves. Their descendants now make up nearly 12 percent of the population. They once lived mainly in the agricultural South but now are scattered throughout the nation.
