单选题 A pilot cannot fly a plane by sight alone. In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes are not very good at determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving. The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when one {{U}}shouts{{/U}} in a cave. The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of the cave. With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead of sound waves. Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300, 000 kilometers in one second. A radar set sends out {{U}}a short burst{{/U}} of radio waves: Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves {{U}}bounce{{/U}} off objects. By determining the time it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set and other objects. The word "radar," in fact, gets its name from the term "radio detection and ranging." "Ranging" is the term for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set. Besides being of critical importance to pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control, tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather systems and storms.

单选题 A family doctor charged the Night Home Service (NHS) more than ￡ 500,000 in seven years for night visits that his patients did not need, a General Medical Council disciplinary hearing was told yesterday. Jagdeep Gossain charged for up to 540 emergency call-outs a month, increasing his annual salary to close to ￡200,000 a year and using almost a third of the local health authority's out-of-hours GP budget. Dr Gossain, 46, had a target list of about 100 patients in his practice at Fulham, southwest London, whom he used repeatedly on claim forms to Ealing, Hammersmith and Hounslow Health Authority. Nearly all emergency visits conducted by the doctor, who often made up to 40 calls a night, were "clinically inappropriate". He had also duped the GMC into postponing his hearing, before the professional conduct committee, four times by claiming that his bad back made him unfit to attend, Sarah Plaschkes, for the GMC, said. But {{U}}that injury{{/U}} had not prevented him enjoying his favourite sport — weightlifting — at an exclusive gym in Heston. Ms Plaschkes added: "The council submits that Dr Gossain deliberately, dishonestly deceived this professional body by pretending he was too ill to attend the heating when, in fact, he was at a leisure centre." Between May 1990 and April 1998 he claimed an "inordinate and extraordinary number" of night visits, she said. The average GP makes 50 emergency night calls a year. In September 1997 alone Dr Gossain put in 542 claims. Ms Plaschkes alleged that it was unjustifiable reward in the sum of about ￡500,000 from the public purse. Dr Gossain's claims escalated over the years. In 1991 he claimed￡1,000; by 1995 the sum had risen to more than ￡75,000, peaking in 1996 at almost￡160,000. Over the seven-year period he allegedly fleeced the NHS of ￡514,593. In 1998 he claimed ~ 124,591, when the average GP in his health authority claimed￡670. Dr Gossain is accused of doing so many night visits that he "could not have provided adequate care and attention" for the patients he visited. It is also said that his ability to provide competent daytime services "was compromised". Dr Gossain denies serious professional misconduct but, if found guilty, could be struck off the medical register. A BBC Panorama investigation found that his three children went to private school and he drove a Mercedes with private number plates. His wife, Shashi, a pharmacist, has said that his only crime was to have been a workaholic. The hearing continues.

单选题In this section you will find after each of the passages a number of questions or unfinished statements about the passage, each with 4 ( A, B, C and D) choices to complete the statement. You must choose the one which you think fits best. The time for this section is 75 minutes. Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage. Sen. John F. Kerry's 11-day mini-campaign on the theme of national security appears unlikely to produce sensational headlines or seize the country's attention—which is, on balance, to his credit. At a moment when the crisis in Iraq dominates the national discussion, Mr. Kerry is resisting the temptation to distinguish himself from President Bush with bold but irresponsible proposals to abandon the mission, even though that course is favored by many in his party. Nor has he adopted the near-hysterical rhetoric of former vice president A1 Gore, who has taken to describing Iraq as the greatest strategic catastrophe in American history and calling US handling of foreign detainees an "American gulag. " Instead, Mr. Kerry is in the process of setting out what looks like a sober and substantial altemative to Mr. Bush's foreign policy, one that correctly identifies the incumbent's greatest failings while accepting the basic imperatives of the war that was forced on the country on Sept. 11, 2001. In his opening speech on the subject Thursday, Mr. Kerry reiterated one of the central tenets of Mr. Bush's policy: Lawless states and terrorists armed with weapons of mass destruction present "the single greatest threat to our security. " He said that if an attack on the United States with unconventional weapons "appears imminent I will do whatever is necessary to stop it" and "never cede our security to anyone"—formulations that take him close to Mr. Bush's preemption doctrine. Yet Mr. Kerry focused much attention on the president's foremost weakness, his mismanagement of US alliances. The Bush administration, he charged, "bullied when they should have persuadeD． They have gone it alone when they should have assembled a team. " Not only is the truth of that critique glaringly evident in Iraq and elsewhere, but Mr. Kerry is also right to suggest that repairing and reversing the damage probed will require a new president. Though Mr. Bush has belatedly changed course in response to his serial failures in Iraq, there is no evidence that he would pursue a more multilateral foreign policy if reelected． Mr. Kerry's promise to "launch and lead a new era of alliances for the post 9/11 world" nevertheless does not add up to a strategy by itself. Tensions between the United States and countries such as France, Germany and South Korea predate George W. Bush and will not disappear if he leaves office; leaders in those nations have their own ambitions to challenge or contain American power. Strong alliances require a common strategic vision—and the vision offered so far by Mr. Kerry is relatively narrow. His Thursday speech focused on combating threats and on reducing dependence on Middle East oil; this week he will set out policies to block the spread of nuclear weapons. But he has had little to say about the good that the United States should seek to accomplish in the worlD． In an interview Friday, the candidate stressed that he has set out the "architecture" of his foreign policy and will talk more about goals and values in coming weeks. Thus far he has spoken more about protecting American companies and workers from foreign competition—something that hardly promotes alliances—than about fostering democracy in the Middle East or helping poor nations develop. The emerging Kerry platform suggests that ultimately he would adopt many of the same goals as Mr. Bush. In his latest speech he rightly warned of the terrible consequences of failure in Iraq and, like Mr. Bush, embraced elections and the training of Iraqi security forces as the best way forwarD． His proposal for a U. N. high commissioner represents a slight upgrade on the deference already given by the White House to U. N. representative Lakhdar Brahimi; his call for a NATO- led military mission already has been aggressively pursued by the Bush administration, with poor results. There are, in fact, few responsible alternatives to the administration's course. Mr. Kerry's argument is that he has a better chance of making it work. It's not a bold offer to voters—but it's probably the fight one.

单选题Rising Prices Cause House "Apartheid"涨价导致房屋的“种族隔离” The Government has admitted that soaring house prices have left people on average incomes, such as teachers and nurses, locked out of buying their first homes across large parts of southern England, including London and most of the South East. A spokeswoman for the Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott, admitted last night that there was now an effective "housing apartheid", with people in their own homes pulling further and further away from those yet to get on the property ladder. With house prices rising at between 15 and 20 percent a year, incomes, which are rising at between 5 and 10 percent a year, cannot keep up. "Increasing housing supply is a national priority. In large areas of the wider South East, house purchase remains out of reach for families with average household incomes," the official said． A new report out tomorrow will reveal the full scale of the housing crisis. The study by Cambridge University for the housing charity Shelter reveals that the Government will need to spend ￡3.5 billion a year to solve the housing problem. More than 50,000 new homes are needed every year to help people on lower incomes to have their own homes. By 2014 a city the size of Leeds will need to be built. Critics point out that, without the money, millions of people employed in the public sector will be unable to move to the South East to fill vacancies. Without a new influx of staff, many hospitals and schools say that they will struggle to maintain standards. The Government is now expected to announce a package of measures in the Budget to try to help first-time buyers. The Treasury is considering raising the point at which people have to pay stamp duty, a tax paid on every house purchase. The present threshold of ￡60,000 has remained unchanged since 1993, despite house prices increasing by 160 percent in that time. Gordon Brown, the Chancellor, faces being accused of maintaining the threshold as a way of raising more tax because as house prices rise more and more people are dragged into paying the surcharge. More than 75 percent of all first-time buyers now pay the tax. "The Government has to act," said Adam Sampson , the director of Shelter. The lack of affordable housing has a destabilising effect on the economy and its cost in human terms is massive. "Successive governments have spoken about the growing housing crisis. It has now got to the point where it cannot be ignored any longer. Housing should be given the same priority as the other key areas of public life, health and education. " The report says that more than three-quarters of all new homes are needed in the South of England, with about 20 percent in the North and the Midlands. Shelter's figures on housing demand will form the basis of a Treasury review of housing to be published at the time of the Budget next week. The review, by Kate Barker, is likely to say that tens of thousands of new houses are needed and that planning restrictions should be relaxed so that housing developments can be built more easily. She will also criticise a culture of nimbyism which has crept into many, particularly rural, towns. Many local communities block new housing even though it is desperately needed． A study released this weekend by the Halifax revealed that first-time buyers cannot get on to the property ladder in 80 percent of towns and cities across the country. The bank said that areas were classed as "unaffordable" if first-time buyers needed to borrow more than 4.27 times the local average salary to buy a home. By that calculation, 100 percent of towns and cities in East Anglia were out of reach of first- time buyers, while 98 percent of towns and cities in the South West were unaffordable. The Government is set to announce large amounts of extra funding for house building in the Budget. By 2006 the amount spent will have increased by ￡900 million, or 25 percent. There will also be a ￡5 billion pot of money provided for affordable housing by 2006.
