21、The cost of medical care in the United States is very high. The time and money that doctors spend on their medical education is probably one reason for this problem.

A visit to a doctor’s office costs from 15 to 50 dollars. It’s so expensive. Many people in the United States think that doctors are overpaid. However, most doctors disagree. They say that they were asked to study medicine for a long time. Tuition for many years of medical education costs a lot of money. Doctors say that it is necessary for most medical students to borrow money from the bank to pay their tuition. Because their money must be repaid to the bank, young doctors need to receive a lot of money for their work. So they charge(收费)people high prices for medical care.

Therefore the cost of medical care in America is high. Because high tuition is one cause of high costs, one way to lower costs would be to have medical school that are free or have low tuition.

【1】The underlined word "tuition" in the passage means “______”

A.eating at school B.studying the courses

C.money used for education D.living at school

A.a visit to a doctor’s office may cost much in the USA

B.the cost of medical care is the only reason for the high costs in the USA

D.the high cost of tuition in medical schools is one reason for the high cost of medical care in the USA

B.He thinks it is a big problem and suggests (建议) solving (解决) it.

C.He doesn’t think the medical students should borrow money from banks.

D.He doesn’t think it necessary for the medical students to study for a long time.

22、I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters.  Standing by her chair, looking at  the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.

Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. "But the desk, " she would say again, "it's for Elizabeth. "

I never saw her be angry, and never saw her cry. I knew she loved me-she showed it in action.  But as a young  girl, I  wanted  heart-to-heart  talks  between mother and daughter.

They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was "too emotional(易动感情的) ". But she lived "on the surface(表面) ".

As years passed T had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive(原谅)me.

I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.

My hope turned to disappointment(失望)，then little interest and,  finally,  peace-it  seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.

Now the present of her desk told, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work.  I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside-a photo of my father and a one- page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times.

Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.

23、   Iceland lies in the North Atlantic Ocean. It is the second largest island in Europe. The country has a total area of 103,000 square kilometers and a coastline of about 6,600 km. The island is 300 km wide from north to south, and 500 km across from west to east.

From 1262 to 1944 Iceland was ruled first by Norway and then by Denmark. Centuries of foreign rule, and such things as volcanoes(火山) and the weather, made life very difficult at times for the Icelanders: there was lots of hard work and little change. The situation began to improve during the nineteenth century. Then in 1944 Iceland became an independent republic; since that time it has become a quite rich country where the people enjoy having cars, modern houses and lots of electrical equipment. If you look at the kind of products that Iceland exports today—fish, meat and wool for example—it’s easy to see that both the sea and the land are important to Icelanders. This has been true in fact since the time of the first Icelanders—Vikings from Norway who arrived in AD874.

Some things in the lives of the Icelanders have changed very little—the Icelandic language, for example, 700 years ago the stories called Sagas were first written down, these can still be read in the old language without much difficulty by Icelandic speakers today.

【1】In Iceland, the distance from north to south is _________that from west to east.

A.much longer than B.shorter than

C.the same as D.a little longer than

【2】What has hardly changed in Iceland?

A.Exporting products. B.The Icelandic language.

C.House equipment. D.The lives of the Icelanders.

【3】Which of the following sentences is NOT true?

A.Iceland has been an independent republic since Vikings began to live there.

B.Iceland is a country of many small islands.

C.Iceland is not the largest island in the world,

D.Iceland is quite a modern country now.
