填空题41)____________Many of the options have already been rehearsed in the press: excluding some treatments from the NHS, charging for certain drugs and services, and developing voluntary or compulsory health insurance schemes. 42)____________We spend about 7 per cent of GDP on health, compared with 9 per cent in the Netherlands and 10 per cent in France and Germany. In terms of health outcomes versus spend, we compare pretty favourably. I don' t see private health care providing much of the solution to current problems. 43)____________Neither is close to being implemented, but the future could see a deliberate shift of attention to voluntary health insurance and an emphasis on social insurance. 44)____________Even so, higher taxes will plainly be needed to fund health care. I think we'll eventually see larger NHS charges, more rationing of medical services and restrictions on certain procedures without proven outcomes. Stricter eligibility criteria for certain treatments are another possibility. 45)____________.None of them is going to win votes for the political party desperate enough to introduce them—but then nobody is going to vote for ill—health or an early death either. [A] English National Health Service is a universal health keeping system. But Now, the shortage of money becomes a serious problem. [B] All such options would mean a sharp break with tradition and political fall out that could be extremely damaging. [C] The options provides solution to the shortage of money problem. [D] I expect individuals to take greater responsibility for their personal health using technology that allows self diag-nosis followed by serf- treatment or home care. [E] Looking at how far we' 11 be able to fund the Health Service in the 21st century raises any number of thorny is-sues. [F] More likely is a shift from universal health coverage to top up schemes which give people basic health entitlements but require them to finance other treatment through private financing, or opt out schemes which use tax relief to encourage individuals to make private provision. [G] Compared to its European Union counterparts Britain. operates a low cost health system.

填空题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}} In the following article, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 41-45, choose the most suitable one from the list A--G to fit into each of the numbered blank. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the blanks. Mark your answers on Answer Sheet 1. The government panel that sets U. S. vaccine policy already has begun discussing "universal immunization" as a way to boost vaccination rates and reduce flu-linked sickness and death, Dr. Scott Harper of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said at a vaccine meeting this week. (41) ___________________ Harper acknowledged that the recent crisis momentarily upstaged universal immunization discussions, but said it remains a viable proposal. (42) ___________________ The vaccine meeting, held every year, seeks to set an agenda for the upcoming flu season. Participants many with a financial stake in getting more people vaccinated--said the universal vaccination push is likely to come within the next five years. (43) ___________________ Also, flu vaccine is altered every year because there are always different flu strains circulating. The unused vaccine is discarded at season's end, making flu shots financially unappealing for manufacturers. (44) ___________________ Sanofi Pasteur's Philip Hosbach said the company has two idle U. S. factories "because there's not the return on the investment." Universal vaccination could in the long term help stabilize supply if it increased demand, he said. (45) ___________________ Demand has historically been a problem, too. Millions of the at-risk patients routinely skip annual shots. Some people worry the vaccine isn't safe or they simply don't like shots, but many also underestimate the seriousness of flu, said Dr. Ann O'Malley, a researcher at the Center for Studying Health System Change. A. "Part of our job is to just keep this issue on the radar screen," Harper told vaccine providers, distributors and manufacturers at the national flu vaccine summit here. B. So far only one company, Sanofi Pasteur, is licensed to make U. S. flu vaccine for the upcoming season, though public health officials hope two others, including Chiron, will soon gain approval. C. Estimates suggest that in an average year, flu infects about 82 million people nationwide, hospitalizes 200,000 and kills 36,000. D. Dr. Herb Young of the American Academy of Family Physicians said recommending shots for everyone could ease the confusion--and that his group is moving toward supporting the idea. E. The hurdles, some observers say, are daunting. Unstable supply is one of the biggest. This year the best case scenario--having about 90 million shots available--isn't even enough for the 180 million high-risk people advised to get shots, let alone the total population of 280 million. F. The end of a chaotic season where many people seeking flu shots were turned away because of a shortage might seem an odd time to broach the idea of vaccinating even more people. G. But I'ra Longini, an Emory University biostatistician who specializes in vaccine analysis, said universal vaccination would be unworkable unless supply problems can be resolved.

填空题This week some top scientists, including Nobel Prize winners, gave their vision of how the world will look in 2056, from gas-powered cars to extraordinary health advances, John Ingham reports on what the world"s greatest minds believe our futures will be. For those of us lucky enough to live that long, 2056 will be a world of almost perpetual youth. The prediction is that we will have found a source of inexhaustible, safe, green energy, and that science will have killed off religion. If they are right we will have removed two of the main causes of war—our dependence on oil and religious prejudice. Bruce Lahn, professor of human genetics at the University of Chicago, anticipates the ability to produce "unlimited supplies" of transplantable human organs without a needed new organ, such as kidney. The surgeon would contact a commercial organ producer, give him the patient"s immune-logical profile and would then be sent a kidney with the correct tissue type. These organs would be entirely composed of human cells, grown by introducing them into animal hosts, and allowing them to develop into an organ in place of the animal"s own. But Prof. Lahn believes that farmed brains would be "off limits". He says: "Very few people would want to have their brains replaced by someone else"s and we probably don"t want to put a human brain into an animal body. " Conlin Pillinger, professor of planetary sciences at the Open University fancies that we will be able to show that life did start to evolve on Mars well as Earth. Within 50 years he hopes scientists will prove that alien life came here in Martian meteorites. Meanwhile, we may find evidence of alien life in ancient permanent forest of Mars or on other planets. There is even a chance we will find alien life forms here on Earth. It might be as different as English is to Chinese. Such discoveries are likely to have revolutionary consequences for biology, astronomy and philosophy. They may change the way we look at ourselves and our place in the universe. As soon as the first evidence is found, we will know what to look for and additional discoveries are likely to follow quickly. Man hopes to set up a self-sufficient colony on Mars, which would be a "life insurance policy" against whatever catastrophes, natural or otherwise, might occur on Earth. The real space race is whether we will colonize off the Earth on to other worlds before money for the space program runs out. Ellen Heber-Katz, a professor at the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia, foresees cures for injuries causing paralysis such as the one that affricated Superman star Christopher Reeve. She says: "I believe that the day is not far off when we will be able to prescribe drugs that cause severe spinal cords to heal, hearts to regenerate and lost limbs to regrow." People will come to expect that injured or diseased organs are meant to be repaired from within, in much the same way that we fix an appliance or automobile: by replacing the damaged part with a manufacturer-certified new part. Repairs to the nervous system will start with optic nerves and, in time, the whole body replacement will be routine. Sydney Brenner, senior distinguished fellow of the Crick-Jacobs Center in California, won the 2002 Nobel Prize for Medicine and says that if there is a global disaster, some humans will survive and evolutions will favor small people with bodies large enough to support the required amount of brain power. "Obesity," he says, "will have been solved." A. human organs can be repaired like fixing appliances B. come true with the collaborative efforts C. scientists" vision of the world in half a century D. survive all catastrophes on earth E. humans won"t have to donate organs for transplantation F. live to 100 and more with vitality G. alien life will likely be discovered

填空题After its misadventures in 1993. when American marines were driven out of Somalia by skinny gunmen, America has used a long spoon in supping with Somalia's warlords. This. tike so much else, changed on September 11th. (41) Clandestine. up to a point: within hours of the arrival in Baidoa of nine closely cropped Americans sporting matching satellite phones and shades, their activities were broadcast. After meeting various warlords, the group inspected a compound that had apparently been offered to them as their future base. They also saw an old military depot. Neither can have been encouraging: the compound has been taken over by war-displaced families, and the depot by thorn-scrub. America was already convinced of al-Qaeda's presence in Somalia. It had listed a Somali Islamic group, al-ltihaad al-Islamiya (Islamic Unity), as a terrorist organisation. (42) . It fears that lawless Somalia could become a haven for escapes from Afghanistan. The American navy Is currently patrolling the country's long coastline, while spy planes are said to be crisscrossing the heavens. (43) . With a little bit of help, he told his American visitors, he would be ready "to liberate the country from these evil forces". America had already heard as much through its embassies in Nairobi and Addis Ababa, which maintain contact with the warlords, and from Ethiopia. The warlords are supported by Ethiopia. which has a historical fear of a strong Somalia. in a bid to oppose the government. But their differing views on where to strike at the "terrorists" reveal that their individual ambitions are even sharper than their dislike of the government. Mr. Ismail says that Merca. which is claimed by his Rahanwein clan. is the capital of terror. (44) . The UN says there is only an orphanage there now. But the island is close to Mr. Morgan's home town of Kismaayo, which he failed to capture from a pro- government militia in July, and he is determined not to fail again. None of this looks good for Somalia's official president, Abdiquassim Salad Hassan. whose government is in control of about half the capital, Mogadishu. He has formed his own anti-terrorism unit, and invited America to send investigators, or even troops. America. armed with stories about the presence of al-Itihaad members held back. but on December 18th sent an envoy to Mogadishu. Both Mr. Hassan and the UN say that al-Itihaad is not a terrorist organisation. It emerged as an armed force in 1991. battling for power in the aftermath of Siad Barre's fall. It had some early successes. briefly taking Kismaayo. But it was always dependent on the blessing of its members' clan elders. When the elders eventually called their fighters back. a hard core of Islamists fled to the Gedo border region where, in 1997, they were crushed by Ethiopian troops (45) . The Baidoa alliance plainly hopes to be supported as proxies in a fight against "terrorism" and the Mogadishu regime. But the latest intelligence leaks suggest that the first reports may have overestimated al-Qaeda's presence in Somalia. Nor would Mr. bin Laden and his henchmen find it easy to lie low in an oral culture that considers rumour-mongering to be a form of manners. Even so. the warlords seem to believe that they have won some promise of help. Soon after the arrival of the American group, they pulled out of the peace talks they had been holding with their government in Nairobi.[A] Al-Itihaad subsequently infiltrated Somalia's business class, and now runs Islamic schools, courts and clinics with the money it has accumulated.[B] According to Abdullahi Sheikh Ismait, the acting chairman of the loose alliance of warlords who control most of Somalia and are based in Baidoa. there are "approximately 20.480 armed extremists" in Somalia and "85% of the government is al-Itihaad".[C] Muhammad Hersi Morgan, known as the "butcher of Hargeisa" because he once razed that town to the ground, says an al-Itihaad camp on Ras Kamboni island, is still active.[D] But since September 11th 2001. western governments, anxious to prevent al-Qaeda from using Somalia as a base. have pressed the warlords to make peace.[E] American intelligence officers are working with two warlords to gather information about suspected at-Qaeda people in Somalia.[F] On December 9th America sent a clandestine mission to talk to a collection of Somali warlords. who like to claim that their country, in particular their UN-sponsored government, is overrun with terrorists[G] It had also forced the closure of Barakaat, Somalia's biggest banking and telecoms company, which handles most of the remittances that Somalis working abroad send back to their families.
