On Long-distance Education

This is the age of information with the rapid development of science and technology. We should adjust our life style to make use of the new information technology.

Nowadays, computers and televisions have already been used in the field of education .We can go to college whenever we want and learn whatever we like, without leaving our home even. This way of learning is called ”long-distance” education . This new way of learning is probably the most convenient way of learning till now, by which we can save a lot of time and energy.

However, we have to admit that there are still many students who prefer to sit in the library or

the classroom to study. For them , learning is not concerned with knowledge itself only. As far as those students are concerned, going to school regularly and studying with the help of the teachers and the classmates is far better than sitting alone in front of computers or television at home.

There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. Fro each question, there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should chose the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

Passage 1

Questions 33 to 37 are based on the following passage:

In the past, operations were difficult. Until the middle of the eighteen fifties, surgery was very dangerous. Many patients died after even the smallest operations. This was because bacteria entered the cuts in the patients’ bodied and started infection. In some countries, up to 90 percent of patients died from infection after operations. In 1865, however, Joseph Lister, a British surgeon, found an answer to the problem. He used an “antiseptic” during and after operations. This killed the dangerous bacteria and most of his patients lived. Since then, surgeons have used antiseptics in all operations.

Surgery has developed in many important ways since the day of Joseph Lister. Today, when patients go to hospital for an operation, they can expect the best treatment, in clean and hygienic conditions.

Passage 2

Questions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage:

Some 4000 Americans ambitions to become physicians are 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 gaining admittance to a good foreign school may be a problem. British medical schools give priority to Britons , and Canada’s 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 master 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. Mexico’s Autonomous University of Guadalajara numbers 1,300 gringos among its 4,000 students.

Despite 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 to be motivated. You have to learn a new language, the school is constant hard work, and it’s 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 who are unable to speak English or whose medical education is not up to U.S. standards.

38. Which of the following is true about U.S. would-be physicians?

A. America medical schools have superfluous applicants

B. language is a big problem all the American students applying to foreign medical schools have to face.

C. Graduates from both American and foreign medical schools should take the same test before prac
