The teaching hospital is one associated with a medical school. Teaching hospitals are large, with a range of from 300 to 200 beds. These hospitals always have interns(實習醫(yī)師) and residents(住院醫(yī)師) and additionally have medical students on the hospital wards. They have superb technical resources, and it is here that the most extraordinary events of medicine take place. Open-heart surgery, transplantation of kidneys, elaborate(精致的) nurseries for the newborn, support for management of rare blood diseases, and other wonderful achievements are all available here. Dozens of people may be concerned with the well-being of a particular patient. Important medical decisions are thoroughly discussed, presented at conferences, and reviewed by many personnel.
On the other hand, the quality of personal relationships at teaching hospitals is variable. Many patients feel that they are treated in an impersonal way, and that their laboratory tests receive more attention that their human and social problems. Since these institutions are on the frontier of medicine, there is a tendency to emphasize the new and elaborate procedures, when older and more modest ones might have served as well. With the inexperience of some members of the care team, there is a tendency to order more laboratory tests than what would have been ordered for the same condition in a private hospital. The sick patients are sometimes confused by having to relate to a large number of doctors and students. Medical educators are concerned with such criticisms and have to correct some of the problems. However, some excesses(超額) of technological medicine still occur in these institutions.
【小題1】One of the advantages of a teaching hospital is that         .

A．its first-class personnel are a guarantee of excellent medical care
B．its first-class medical facilities and skills make medical breakthroughs possible
C．the interns, residents and medical students all offer satisfactory services
D．its laboratory staff provide high-class professional aids for the doctors
【小題2】The passage implies that         .
A．private hospitals usually give personalized care of high quality
B．private hospitals have more experienced laboratory staff
C．teaching hospitals use patients as subjects for their experiments
D．teaching hospitals usually give patients improper treatment
【小題3】Treatments of some difficult and complicated cases in teaching hospital are decided         .
A．by specialists in charge of the case
B．by doctors and students together
C．on some special and important occasions
D．through collective efforts and serious review
【小題4】 The problem that still bothers teaching hospitals frequently is         .
A．the inadequate patient care caused by irresponsible nurses.
B．the wrong decisions made by inexperienced doctors
C．improper dependence on technological medicine
D．the inconvenience caused by the presence of medical students

The Oregonian(俄勒岡報) is the daily newspaper for the state of Oregon where the Hagens live. Since it is published in the largest city, which is Portland, most of the readers live within 50 miles of Portland.
From Monday to Saturday, the paper has about 75 pages, of which 20 pages are advertisements. It normally has 5 sections which are called Nation, Sports, Metro(大都會), Living and Business.
Nation is national news mostly with some international news about earthquakes, floods, and tensions(緊張)around the world. Sports cover the professional sports in season, college sports, and high school sports. Metro is local news of the city of Portland which includes political stories, crimes, and good neighbor articles. Living is the section with television programs, movies, comics, music, stories about pets, and advice. Business has listing of more than 10,000 stocks and a regular report about the stock market and business news. The advertising section includes apartments and houses, employment opportunities and items to buy, especially cars and trucks.
On Sunday, the paper is very large weighing more than two kilos. There are additional sections called Art, Books, International, and Travel. Since this is the day most Americans do not work, they have more time for reading. Each of the daily sections is longer so the newspaper is twice the size of the daily sections. However, the advertisements are nearly as many pages as the news on Sunday so the entire paper is more than four times larger than the daily paper.
Some companies print their own advertisements and pay to put them in The Oregonian. These include grocery(雜貨) stores, clothing stores, car agencies(代理處), camera and video equipment stores, toy stores, and computer stores.

His name is James，but people call him Rocky.The name fits.He’s big，over six feet tall，and he’s tough when he needs to? be.James “Rocky” Robinson lives and works in New York City’s Bedford?Stuyvesant district，one of the poorest and most dangerous neighborhoods in the United States.Yet it is here in Bed?Stuy that he is saving lives and reviving a community.

In 1966，when Rocky was twenty?six years old，his seven?year?old niece was struck by a car on the street of Bed?Stuy.Had someone at the scene known first aid or CPR，she might have lived.But by the time she reached a hospital，she was dead.

His niece’s unnecessary death was one reason why Rocky became a paramedic (護理人員)．Working for the Emergency Medical Service of New York City，he realized that more than half the city’s emergency calls came from high?crime areas.According to Rocky，residents of crime?plagued minority neighborhoods like Bed?Stuy sometimes had to wait as long as 26 minutes after calling 911 for an ambulance while calls in richer white communities were answered in_a_fraction_of_the_time.

Rocky decided to find out more about the problem.His research showed that the richer communities had organized their own ambulance corps (特殊部隊) to improve city services because the city was overwhelmed with calls.“If that’s the key to success，”he told his friend and EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) colleague，Joe Perez，“we’ll start our own corps in Bed?Stuy！”

In 1988，Rocky had no idea that he and Joe would be attempting to establish the first minority?run ambulance service in the country，or just how creative he would have to be to overcome the difficulty.The pair’s first challenge was to find a location for the headquarters.They took over an abandoned building that was commonly used by drug dealers.Because there was no electricity or running water (except for the leaks in the roof)，the two men worked during daylight hours.They used a two?way radio to receive emergency calls.

Although they could make do with their new headquarters，Rocky and Joe still lacked the most important component of an ambulance service：an ambulance.An old Chevrolet (雪佛蘭) got them to the scenes of accidents，fires，shootings，and stabbings.But the car didn’t always start.At times，they were forced to strap (用帶捆綁) their trauma kits and oxygen tanks to their backs and run on foot to the emergencies.Everyone laughed，except the victims who were still alive when? Rocky and Joe arrived.

Until the 1980s, the American homeless population is mainly made up of older males. Today, homelessness strikes much younger part of society. In fact, a 25-city survey by the U. S. Conference of Mayors in 1987 found that families with children make up the fastest growing part of the homeless population. Many homeless children gather in inner cities; this transient(變化無常的) and frequently frightened student population creates additional problems — both legal and educational — for already overburdened urban school administrators and teachers.
Estimates of the number of homeless Americans range from 350,000 to three million. Likewise, estimates of the number of homeless school children vary radically. A U.S. Department of Education report, based on state estimates, states that there are 220,000 homeless school-age children, about a third of whom do not attend school on a regular basis. But the National Coalition for the Homeless estimates that there are at least two times as many homeless children, and that less than half of them attend school regularly.
One part of the homeless population that is particularly difficult to count consists of the “throwaway” youths who have been cast of their homes. The Elementary School Center in New York City estimates that there are 1.5 million of them, many of whom are not treated as children because they do not stay in family shelters and tend to live by themselves on the streets.
Federal law, the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1987, includes a section that addresses the educational needs of homeless children. The educational provisions（規(guī)定） of the McKinney Act are based on the belief that all homeless children have the right to a free, appropriate education.
1.It is implied in the first paragraph that ____.

A．the writer himself is homeless, even in his eighties

B．many older homeless residents are going on strike in 25 cities

C．there is a serious shortage of academic facilities

D．homeless children are denied the opportunity of receiving free education

2.The National Coalition for the homeless believes that the number of homeless children is _____.

A．350,000? B．1,500,000? C．440,000? D．110,000

3.One part of the homeless population is difficult to estimate. The reason might well be ____.

A．the homeless children are too young to be treated as children

B．the homeless population is growing rapidly

C．the homeless children usually stay outside school

D．some homeless children are deserted by their families

4.The McKinney Act is mentioned in this passage in order to show that ___.

A．the educational problems of homeless children are being recognized

B．the estimates on homeless children are hard to determine

C．the address of grade-school children should be located

D．all homeless people should have free education

The long, lonely voyage of the Japanese ghost ship is over.

A US Coast Guard cutter poured cannon fire(開炮) into an abandoned Japanese ghost ship that had been floating since last year’s tsunami, sinking the ship into waters more than 305 meters deep in the Gulf of Alaska and removing the danger it created to shipping and the coastline on Thursday.

The cutter’s guns tore holes in the 164-foot Ryou-Un Maru, and then it began to take on water and lean to one side. In about four hours, the ship disappeared into the sea, said Chief Petty Officer Kip Wadlow.

The ship had no lights or communications system, and its tank was able to carry more than 7,570 liters of diesel fuel. Officials, however, didn’t know exactly how much fuel was aboard.

“It’s less risky than it would be running into shore or running into other ships,” coast guard spokesman Paul Webb said.

The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency studied the problem and decided it was safer to sink the ship than let the fuel evaporate and pollute the sea environment.

Ryou-Un Maru was probably among the first wave of the 1.5 million tons of garbage of refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, roofs and fishing nets heading toward North America since last March when a magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck Japan.

As the coast guard was ready to fire on the ship, a Canadian fishing ship, the 19-meter Bernice C, claimed the rights to save the ghost ship in international waters.

Plans to sink it were paused so the Canadian crew could have a chance to take the stricken ship. A Canadian official with knowledge of the situation told the Associated Press that the Bernice C was unable to drag it.

Then the Canadian boat left, and once it was about 10 kilometers from the Japanese ship, the Coast Guard began to fire, first with 25 mm shells, then a few hours later with ammunition twice that size.

State officials have been working to test the danger of garbage including materials affected by a damaged nuclear power plant, to see if Alaska residents, seafood or wild animals could be affected.

1.Which of the following is NOT the reason for sinking the Japanese ship?

A．It had no lights or communications system.    B．It might be washed up onto the shore.

C．It was a danger to other passing ships.        D．The oil it carried could pollute the sea.

2.The plan to fire on the Japanese ghost ship was paused because ________.

A．the ghost ship was beyond the reach of the Coast Guard’s guns

B．the shells were not powerful enough to sink the ghost ship

C．state officials worried the ghost ship might give out radiation

D．a(chǎn) Canadian fishing boat wanted to save the ghost ship

3. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?

A．Japanese ghost ship arriving at US           B．Tsunami garbage heading to US

C．Cannon fire sinking Japanese ghost ship      D．Japanese ghost ship polluting the Pacific
