单选题The speaker's experience in reading classified documents made him realize that ______.

单选题{{B}}Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:{{/B}} I doubt that any historically valid treatment of that presidential administration can emerge for at least another decade, if then. I confess that when I came out of the White House I signed up to do an "insider volume", but sober, professional second thoughts have led me to put that project on ice until at least 1980. The problem is that I simultaneously know too much, and not enough. I know what I thought was happening. But I cannot fully document what happened. And I have seen enough highly classified documents to know that most of what the observers thought was happening was at best half right, at worst dead wrong. This has steered me in a different direction as far as writing is concerned. I am now preparing what is frankly and unashamedly an ex parte memoir, "My Experiences in Washington." It is based on what I believed to be true, on the picture as I conceptualized it, of the presidential administration under which I worked.

单选题 Crossing Wesleyan University's campus usually requires walking over colorful messageschalked on the ground. They can be as innocent as meeting announcements, but in a growingnumber of cases the language is meant to shock. It's not uncommon, for instance, to see lewdreferences to professors'sexual preferences scrawled across a path or the mention of the word"Nig" that African-American students say make them feel uncomfortable. In response, officials and students at schools are now debating ways to lead theircommunities away from forms of expression that offend or harass (侵扰). In the process, they' reputting up against the difficulties of regulating speech at institutions that pride themselves onfostering open debate. Mr. Bennet of Wesleyan says he had gotten used to seeing occasional talkings filled withfour-letter words. Campus tradition made any horizontal surface not attached to a building apotential billboard. But when talkings began taking on a more threatening and lewd tone, Bennetdecided to act. "This is not acceptable in a workplace and not aeeeptahle in an institution of higherlearning." Bennet says. For now, Bennet is seeking input about what kind of message-postingpolicy the school should adopt. The student assembly recently passed a resolution saying the"right to speech comes with implicit responsibilities to respect community standards" Other public universities have confronted problems this year while considering various ways ofregulating where students can express themselves. At Harvard Law School, the recent controversywas more linked to the academic setting. Minority students there are seeking to curb what theyconsider harassing speech in the wake of a series of incidents last spring. At a meeting held by the "Committee on Healthy Diversity" last week, the school's BlackLaw Students Association endorsed a policy targeting discriminatory harassment. It would trigger areview by school officials if there were charges of "severe or pervasive conduct" by students orfaculty. The policy would cover harassment based on, but not limited to, factors such as race,religion, creed, sexual orientation, national origin, and ethnieity (种族划分). Boston attorney Harvey Silverglate, says other schools have adopted similar harassmentpolicies that are actually speech codes, punishing students for raising certain ideas. "Restrictingstudents from saying anything that would be perceived as very unpleasant by another studentcontinues uninterrupted, " says Silverglate, who attended the Harvard Law town meeting lastweek.

单选题 Everyone, it seems, has a health problem. After pouring billions into the National Health Service, British people moan about dirty hospitals, long waits and wasted money. In Germany the new chancellor, Angela Merkel, is under fire for suggesting changing the financing of its health system. Canada's new Conservative Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, made a big fuss during the election about reducing the country's lengthy medical queues. Across the rich world, affluence, ageing and advancing technology are driving up health spending faster than income. But nowhere has a bigger health problem than America. Soaring medical bills are squeezing wages, swelling the ranks of the uninsured and pushing huge firms and perhaps even the government towards bankruptcy. Ford's announcement this week that it would cut up to 30000 jobs by 2012 was as much a sign of its "legacy" health-care costs as of the ills of the car industry. Pushed by polls that show health care is one of his main domestic problems and by forecasts showing that the retiring baby-boomers (生育高峰期出生的人) will crush the government's finances, George Bush is expected to unveil a reform plan in next week's state-of-the-union address. America's health system is unlike any other. The United States spends 16% of its GDP on health, around twice the rich-country average, equivalent to $6280 for every American each year. Yet it is the only rich country that does not guarantee universal health coverage. Thanks to an accident of history, most Americans receive health insurance through their employer, with the government picking up the bill for the poor and the elderly. This curious hybrid (混合物) certainly has its strengths. Americans have more choice than anybody else, and their health-care system is much more innovative. Europeans' bills could be much higher if American medicine were not doing much of their Research and Development (R&D) for them. But there are also huge weaknesses. The one most often cited—especially by foreigners—is the army of uninsured. Some 46 million Americans do not have cover. In many cases that is out of choice and, if they fall seriously ill, hospitals have to treat them. But it is still deeply unequal. And there are also shocking inefficiencies: by some measures, 30% of American health spending is wasted. Then there is the question of state support. Many Americans disapprove of the "socialized medicine" of Canada and Europe. In fact, even if much of the administration is done privately, around 60% of America's health-care bill ends up being met by the government. Proportionately, the American state already spends as much on health as the OECD (Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development) average, and that share is set to grow as the baby-boomers run up their Medicare bills and ever more employers avoid providing health-care coverage. America is, in effect, heading towards a version of socialized medicine by default.

单选题{{B}}Passage 14{{/B}} The new prestige of the British graduates is the most spectacular because in the past Britain has been much {{U}}(1) {{/U}}interested in universities and degrees than other advanced countries—or even some backward {{U}}(2) {{/U}} In 1901 Ramsay Muir observed that Britain had {{U}}(3) {{/U}} universities per head than any other civilized country in Europe except Turkey.

More people are working than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops and factories are discovering the greater efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunchrooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever-increasing output. Thus the "typical" Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than his counterpart of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comforts and ease of life. What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality. Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and its consumer products. The so-called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that "assembly-line life" will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life-to joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local cafe? Since the late 1940's life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gain. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are the young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of the competitive, goods-oriented culture. Occasionally, they have reacted against the trend with considerable violence. In spite of the critics, however, countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modem economic world. They find that the present life brings more rewards, conveniences, and pleasures than that of the past. They believe that a modern, industrial France is preferable to the old.
