Before this time health care had to be paid for by individuals. su.15 更多內(nèi)容盡在 /susuh15 su.15 更多內(nèi) 容盡在 /susuh15 Nowadays central government is directly responsible for the NHS although it is administered by local health authorities. About 83 percent of the cost of the health service is paid for by general taxation and the rest is met from the National Insurance contributions paid by those in work. There are charges for prescription and dental care but many people, such as children, pregnant women, pensioners, and those on Income Support, are exempt from payment. Most people are registered with a local doctor (a GP, or General Practitioner) who is increasingly likely to be part of a health centre which serves the community. As the population of Britain gets older, the hospital service now treats more patients than before, although patients spend less time in hospital. NHS hospitalsmany of which were built in the nineteenth centuryprovide nearly half a million beds and have over 480, 000 medical staff. The NHS is the biggest employer in Europe although Britain actually spends less per person on health care than most of her European neighbours. During the 1980s there was considerable restructuring of the Health Service with an increased emphasis on managerial efficiency and the privatization of some services (for example, cleaning). At the end of the 1980s the government introduced proposals for further reform of the NHS, including allowing some hospitals to be self-governing, and encouraging GPs to compete for patients. Patients would be able to choose and change their family doctor more easily and GPs would have more financial responsibility. The political questions continue of how much money should be provided to support the NHS and where it should come from. 56. We can know from the first paragraph that _. A. the original aim of the NHS was to provide equal basic health care for everybody B. people didnt have to pay for health care since the NHS was set up C. patients were charged for receiving health care before 1948 D. the NHS was an organization which gave free advice to villagers 57. What do we know about the NHS? A. Its managed by the central government. B. Its cost is mainly paid for by the National Insurance contributions. C. It hires more people than any other unit in Europe.

C BEIJING, Nov. 26U.S. dollar hit another record low against the euro on Friday, with the European currency climbing above $1.32 for the first time. The green-back fell to its lowest in nearly five years against the yen the same day. By 1943 EST, the dollar was trading at US$1.3265 per euro, compared with US$1.3270 in thin late New York trade. It was at 102.55 yen, little changed from New York after touching 102.37, a level not seen since March 2000, in London. Japanese Finance Minister Sadakazu Tanigaki repeated his warning against dollar weakness, threatening to take action against sudden moves, but market participants said such verbal intervention (口頭干涉 ) had long lost its clout. Traders were expecting market liquidity to remain thin on Friday because of the extended U.S. holiday. In such thin trading, many said a fall in the dollar past 102 yen and US$1.33 per euro was a real possibility. Referring to recent currency movements as “brutal”, European Central Bank chief Jean-Claude Trichet, who is the most vocal European policymaker su.15 更多內(nèi)容盡在 /susuh15 su.15 更多內(nèi) 容盡在 /susuh15 on dollar weakness, is due to make comments in Rio de Janeiro, along with ECB council member and Spanish central bank governor Jaime Caruana.

Like our sun, stars are unbelievably hot furnaces (熔爐 ) that burn their own matter as fuel. When most of the fuel is used up, the star begins to die. The death of a star is not a quiet event. First there is a huge explosion. As its outer layer is blasted off into space, the dying star shines as brightly as a billion suns. After the explosion gravity pulls in whats left of the star. As the outside of the star sinks toward the center, the star gets smaller and smaller. The material the star is made of becomes tightly packed together. A star is so dense that a teaspoon of matter from it weighs billion of pounds. The more the star shrinks, the stronger the gravity inside it becomes. Soon the star is very tiny, and the gravity pulling it in is unbelievably strong. In fact, the gravity is so strong that it even pulls light into the star! Since all the light is pulled in, none can go out. The star becomes black when there is no light. Then a black hole is born! Thats what we know about black holes. What we dont know is this: What happens inside a black hole after the star has been squeezed into a tiny su.15 更多內(nèi)容盡在 /susuh15 su.15 更多內(nèi) 容盡在 /susuh15 ball? Does it keep getting smaller and smaller forever? Such a possibility is hard to imagine. But if the black hole doesnt keep shrinking, what happens to it? Some scientists think black holes are like doorways to another world. They say that as the star disappears from our universe, it goes into another universe. In other words a black hole in our universe could turn into a “white hole” in a different universe. As the black hole swallows light, the white hole shines brightlysomewhere else. But where? A different place, perhaps, or a different time many years in the past or future. Could you travel through a black hole? Right now, no. Nothing we know of could go into a black hole without being crushed. So far the time being, black hole must remain a mystery. Black holes are a mysterybut that hasnt stopped scientists from dreaming about them. One scientist suggested that in the future we might make use of the power of black holes. They would supply all of Earths energy needs, with plenty to spare. Another scientist wondered if a black hole could some day be used to swallow earthly wastea sort of huge waste disposal(處理 ) in the sky! 68. When the star begins to die _. A. there is no fuel left in it B. its outer layer goes into space first C. a huge explosion will happen D. it doesnt give off light any longer 69. Which of the following doesnt help produce a black hole? A. The gravity inside the star is very strong. B. The light cant go out of the star. C. The star becomes smaller and smaller D. The dying star shines very brightly. 70. The black hole _. A. continues becoming smaller and smaller all the time B. goes into another universe and becomes a white hole C. can pull in everything we know of in the world D. will appear at another place at a different time 71. Whats the best title for this passage? A. A New Scientific Discovery: Black Holes B. How Do Black Holes Come Into Being? C. What Are Black Holes? su.15 更多內(nèi)容盡在 /susuh15 su.15 更多內(nèi) 容盡在 /susuh15 D. Travel Through A Black Hole E Anti-bird flu contingency (意外事故 ) measures, including a proposal to separate poultry from humans and a series of traffic and logistics (后勤 ) measures will be discussed at the Legislative Councils Food Safety and Environmental Hygiene Panel meeting next month. Secretary for Health, Welfare and Food Dr York Chow says the contingency plan would come into force if an outbreak occurred near Hong Kong. Speaking on a radio talk show this morning, Dr Chow said the separation of poultry from humans policy, which will be determined after a decision whether to set up a central slaughtering (屠宰 ) house or several regional ones, would be based on the demand for live chickens. He pointed out that at present there were 30,000 live chickens imported from the Mainland and 30,000 supplied locally. If this demand persisted, there would be no central slaughtering house or wholesale point that could handle such an amount and regional slaughtering houses could be the choice. He added that building of regional slaughtering houses took time, but stressed the need to study the views of the public and the sector before a final decision was made. Regarding avian flu vaccination (種痘 ) for humans, Dr Chow said it was still being developed. He added that it may not be reliable in the case of an outbreak as records show vaccination can only offer 5% protection against a virus. He said Hong Kong had more experience and expertise than neighbouring territories in the fight against viral outbreaks, and was willing to offer them help. He added there was no “boundary” for infectious diseases and close cooperation among different countries had to be maintained to fight against a possible outbreak. 72. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _. A. the government is planning to take strong action to fight against bird flu B. an outbreak which happened near Hong Kong made people very frightened C. anti-bird flu contingency measures will come into use next month D. Dr York Chow will organize a meeting to discuss the contingency plan 73. According to the passage, t
