17、ea of New York State. Part Reading Comprehension (30 minutes, 30 marks)Directions: Read the following passages and choose the best answer to each of the questions following the passage.Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:About 4,000 Americans with ambitions to become physicians are
18、 studying for their M.D.s abroad. Many were rejected by U.S. medical schools simply because there was no room. Last year, for example, some 13,000 of 35,000 would-be physicians who applied to U.S. schools were accepted. Of those who were turned down, well over 600 are trying the foreign route.But ga
19、ining admittance to a good foreign school may be a problem. British medical schools give priority to Britons, and Canadas world-renowned McGill University School of Medicine takes only a handful of well qualified Americans annually. But several schools do welcome U.S. medical students-if they can ma
20、ster the local language. More than 500 Americans are enrolled in the Belgian universities at Brussels and Louvain, for example. Some 800 attend the Italian University at Bologna; 175 at Rome. Mexicos Autonomous University of Guadalajara numbers 1,300 American students among its 4,000 students.Despit
21、e difficulties abroad, many Americans complete their medical educations, and manage to win the respect of their professors and classmates. One second-year student at Louvain has a simple explanation for those successes: “Anyone who comes here is motivated. You have to learn a new language, the schoo
22、l is constant hard work, and its difficult to get back into the States to practice.”Before they can intern or practice in the United States, graduates of foreign schools must pass a special examination required by medical-education authorities. The tough test is designed primarily to weed out those
23、who are unable to speak English or whose medical education is not up to U.S. standards.31. Which of the following is the reality that U.S. would-be physicians have to face?A) As many as one-third of last years applicants of medical schools are now applying to foreign schools. B) American students ap
24、plying to foreign medical schools have to master a new language in two years.C) Graduates from foreign medical schools have to pass a very tough test before practicing in the United States. D) American applicants are not given priority when they apply to Belgian medical schools.32. Some foreign medi
25、cal schools reject American applicants because _.A) they have to consider the applicants from their own countries firstB) they offer the courses in EnglishC) American applicants are not well qualifiedD) not many American students become successful in foreign medical schools 33. Which of the followin
26、g is one of the difficulties for all the American students at foreign medical schools?A) The quality of medical education in foreign countries is not as good as that in America.B) There is brutal racial discrimination against them when they apply for interns in foreign countries.C) They are not give
27、n any opportunities to practice at local places if they cannot speak a foreign language.D) They are not treated the same as graduates from American medical schools when trying to go back to America to practice.34. Why American students who study at Louvain should be motivated?A) Because they have ga
28、ined respect from their classmates and professors.B) Because they have to overcome a lot of difficulties. C) Because the medical education is not up to U.S. standards.D) Because success comes much easier than when they are in the U.S. 35. Which of the following can be the title of this passage?A) Me
29、dical Schools in America B) Life at Medical SchoolsC) The Tough Foreign RouteD) American Would-be PhysiciansQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Schools expect textbooks to be a valuable source of information for students. My research suggests, however, that textbooks that address t
30、he place of Native Americans within the history of the United States distort history to suit a particular cultural value system. In some textbooks, for example, settlers are pictured as more humane, complex, skillful, and wise than Native American. In fact, textbooks stereotype and look down upon th
31、e numerous Native American cultures while reinforcing the attitude that the Europeans who reached the New World are superior in their culture. Although textbooks evaluate Native American architecture, political systems, and home-making, I contend（坚信）that they do it from a European perspective without recognizing that other perspectives are possible. One argument against my contention asserts that, by nature, textbooks are culturally biased and that I am simply underestimating childrens ability to see through these biases. Some researchers even claim that by the time stud
