According to the ministry, 70 percent of Chinese inpatients have received antibiotics, while the  28  number set by the World Health Organization is 30 percent. About 97 percent of surgery patients used antibiotics but research showed that a large number of them could avoid the need if hospitals conducted proper sanitation(公共卫生) measures.  29  , antibiotics are overused in the  30  of children. Nearly one third of the daily 10,000 outpatients at the Beijing Children's Hospital take intravenous(进入静脉的) drips that largely contain antibiotics, said Yang Yonghong, a doctor with the hospital." Some doctors might lack proper training on how to  31  antibiotics in a more precise way and avoid   32   risks. Some simply want to play it safe,"said Zhu Zhenggang, president of Shanghai-based Ruijin Hospital.The ministry  33  a nationwide campaign over the past six months to regulate the use of antibiotics. Vice Health Minister Ma Xiaowei admitted that the government faces great challenges as many public hospitals have  34   supervision on prescription(处方) safety under heavy pressure from patients.Insiders also noted that the  35  antibiotics was partly driven by profit-seeking pharmacy firms. There are more than 6,000 pharmacy companies in China that produce more than 1,000 kinds of antibiotics. About 60 percent of the newly  36  medicines by the State Food and Drug Administration last year were antibiotics.

That was because a professor   37   me to do so. She said," Now is the time for you to travel around the world,  38  your knowledge through actual experiences and have fun!" I agreed with her. Since I started to work for a  39  company, however, I have done most of my traveling through the Internet. By using the Internet, I have seen the sights of many cities on my computer screen. And I have really made business  40  , too. With the help of the Internet, I have also got  41  about food in different countries.Therefore, I was beginning to feel that actual trips were  42  necessary when I happened to read a famous chef's comment on the Internet. He said, "it is very difficult to have real Italian food in a foreign country, because we enjoy food and the atmosphere around us at the same time. So why don't you fly over to Italy and enjoy real Italian  43  ?" Those words reminded me of my  44   advice. As information technology  45   , you might be able to do without making some real trips. But this also means that you will miss the various  46  you can get from traveling. Today there are people who  47  direct communication with others and spend much of their time on the Internet. It is not surprising to see a group of people  48  not with each other but into their micro phones. It seems as if such people are  49  by an invisible wall. They seem to be losing out on a good chance to  50  and talk with other people. I do not think that they are taking good advantage of information technology. We should use information technology as a tool to make our daily communication more fruitful. However, we should never let it  51  our time for face-to-face communication. Let's make use of information technology more wisely, and have great fun in experiencing the actual world. 37.A.promised   B.allowed    C.hurried    D. encouraged38.

Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand. So I went on the net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store.There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy! I pointed at it and asked an assistant, “Can I have one of those?” He looked perturbed(不安)."Do you want to try it first? he said. It didn't quite sound like a question."Do I need to? I replied, "There is nothing wrong with it?" This made him look a bit insulted and I started to feel bad. "No, no. But you should try it, " he said encouragingly. "Compare it with the others. "I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to take Z and possibly R into account at the same time. But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice, the clever choice, the wise choice. In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant seemed a sincere man. So I let him take out of my chosen camera from cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers and when he started to introduce the special features, I interrupted to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well. 55. The shop assistant insisted that the writer shouldA. try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it.B. compare the camera he had chosen with the others.C. get more information about different companies.D. trust him and stop asking questions. 56. What does the writer mean by "it would be worth half what I paid for it "(paragraph 2)?A. He should get a 50% discount.B. The price of the camera was unreasonably high.C. The quality of the camera was not good. D. The camera would soon fal in value. 57. The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because heA.knew very little about it B.didn't trust the shop assistantC. wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the bestD. had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers 58. It can be inferred from the passage that in the writer's opinion,A. people waste too much money on camerasB. cameras have become an important part of our daily lifeC. we don't actually need so many choices when buying a productD. famous companies care more about profit than quality Section C(8分)A. There are many ways for parents to deal with the problems.B. The mess can disturb the whole household.C. Parents are all angry at it.D. Humor can help, too.AB. Parenting experts also recommend that parents first ask children in a nice way to clean up and agree on a reasonable time limit.AC.What doesn't work, parenting experts say, is constant lectures, verbal threats or getting very angry. An 18-year-girl Kayla Perkins explains what is in her bedroom,"I throw something on the floor and I know right where it is. ” However, her parents, Steve and Deborah Perkins, of Mckinney, Texas, haven't caught on. Even Kayla admits that, at the worst, her room is a mess. Most families at some point have at least one child whose room looks like a landfill.   59   Dirty clothes pile up; dirty dishes get lost in the mess and smell bad; homework is lost; and valuable things are ruined.Some parents let it go, believing that a bedroom is private space for children to manage as they wish. Others lecture their children, offer rewards for cleaning, or punish them when they don't.    60   Mrs Perkins says they picked up all the clothes on Kayla's floor and hid them. They cleaned everything up. When Kayla came back to a bare bedroom, there was screaming and shouting,“How can I live without my clothes?” Mrs Perkins asked Kayla to earn her clothes back by doing housework. These days, she keeps her room clean.   61   For example, since Jessica, the 14-year-old daughter wasn't bothered by the dirty clothes all over her floor, the whole family started using her room as a place to store dirty clothes. Her attitude changed after her family did that. By the time she gave in and cleaned up her room a few days later, even she was laughing.   62   Children often behave better if you treat them in the way you would want to be treated by your boss at work---with respect and high expectations. IV. Summary Writing(10分)Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of thepassage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Early Adopters Fall into a Costly TrapBeing among the first to try out a new piece of technology is cool. When you're the only member of your social circle with the latest hot device, people stare in fascination. However, people tend to underestimate the costs of this temporary coolness, which they pay in more ways than one.Frankly speaking, early adoption is a bad investment. The earliest versions of devices are not only expensive, they are also the most expensive that those devices wil ever be. Companies are attempting to recover the cost of production as fast as they can, and once the profits from early adopters purchases are safely in hands, they can cut the price and shift to the next marketing stage selling the product to everyone else. That's why the cost of the original iPhone dropped about $200 only eight months after its release.Those who are first to leap into a new technology also risk wasting money and time on something that never catch on. In 2006, HD DVDs a new format(制式) for video entered the market. A few eager consumers bought HD DVD players that were discontinued in early 2008. The early adopters were then stuck with pricey devices that just sat on their shelves collecting dust.Another good reason to resist the early adoption temptation is that the first version of a product typical has imperfections. For example, when Microsoft's game machine, Xbox One, was first released in 2013, users immediately began to complain of problems. Devoted gamers worked to find and share solutions to these issues. Such problems are so common with new technology that early adopters are basically unpaid testers.So don't join the first wave of consumers who invest in the latest version of device, instead,  wait and see. IV.

Firstly,earliest versions of devices are the most expensive and its prices may drop quickly. Besides, these devices may never be popular and end up useless. Finally, they may have many imperfections which needs improving. 翻译1. This is such a good book that I recommend that all students should read it.2.
