It is necessary to give you
15、 a blood transfusion because you lost a great deal of blood in the accident. However, special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you. If the blood is too different from your own, the transfusion could kill you. There are four basic types of blood: A, B, AB, and O. A simple test can indica
16、te a persons blood type, which, like hair color and height, is inherited from parents. Because of substances contained in each type, the four groups must be transfused carefully. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receive A or B. O can give to any other group;
17、hence, it is often called the universal donor. For the opposite reason, AB is sometimes called the universal recipient. However, because so many reactions can occur in transfusions, patients usually receive only salt or plasma (liquid) until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the b
18、lood bank of a hospital. In this way, it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion. There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality. Among Europeans and people of European ancestry, about 42 percent have type A while 45 percent have type O. The rarest is type AB.
19、 Other races have different percentages. For example, some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O.(1). A good title for this passage is _.A. Getting Blood and Plasma B. Special Blood Types C. Human Blood Types D. The Blood Bank of a Hospital(2). The word hence in line10 means _A. alwa
20、ys B. oftenC. therefore D. seldom(3). In a blood transfusion, it is easiest to find the acceptable type of blood for a person with the blood type of _A. AB. BC. AB D. O(4). The purpose of using salt and plasma before a blood transfusion is to allow time _.A. to test the reactions to the transfusion
21、B. for matching the blood to be transfused with the patients blood C. for the blood to be delivered from the blood bank D. to select a new type of blood for the patient(5). Most Europeans have blood type _A. AB. B C. O D. A or O 2. In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not wr
22、itten. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches. In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their Field of study with people who had made a special s
23、tudy of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctors degree. Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same questions, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. P
24、erhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Certainly, du
25、ring examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines. One type of test is sometimes called an objective test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answe
26、r. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.(1). In the Middle Ages students _.A. took objective tests B. were timed by clocksC. specialized in one subjectD. never wrote exam
27、s(2). The main idea of paragraph2 is _A. workers now take examinationsB. the population has grownC. there are only written exams todayD. examinations are now written and timed(3). The kind of exam where students must select answers is _.A. personalB. objective?C. spoken?D. written(4). Modern industr
28、y must have developed _.A. before the Middle AgesB. in Greece or RomeC. around the 19lh centuryD. machines to take tests(5). It may be concluded that testing _.A. should test only opinions B. should always be written C. has changed since the Middle Ages D. is given only in factories 3. Learning how
29、to write is like taking a course in public speaking. I d ask whether anyone in class had ever taken such a course. Invariably a few hands would go up. “What did you learn in that course?” Id ask. “Well, the main thing was learning how to face an audience . not to be inhibited( 拘谨 ). not to be nervou
30、s Exactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowadays, you don t hear much about grammar and vocabulary. Instead, you re taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without a prepared script, how to read out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your long-standing nervous inhibitions. The same is true of writing. The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibitions, to break through the invisible barrier that separa
