21、Medical errors (ME) are among the most important patient safety challenges facing hospitals and healthcare systems nowadays. Since the Institute of Medicine(IOM) report in 1999 “To Err is Human,” an increasing number of studies have shown how common and deleterious ME are, especially in hospital medicine. With this, healthcare leaders invested time and resources toward identifying and reducing ME.
A medical error is defined as “an incidence when there is an omission or a mistake in planning or execution that leads or could lead to unintended result.” While the majority of ME do not lead to an apparent adverse effect, a significant number of patients either suffer a permanent injury or death from ME every year in the United States and around the world as a result of those errors.
Medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States after heart disease and cancer. It is estimated that more than 200,000 patients die annually in the United States from ME. Furthermore, in addition to the harm inflicted on patients, medical errors are associated with an increased healthcare cost. In a 2008 report, it was estimated that medical errors cost the healthcare system in the United States more than 17 billion dollars annually.
The first step in combating ME and improving patient safety is to study the different types of medical errors to better understand why medical errors happen. The causes, types, and rates of ME can vary from one institution to the other and change over time, especially as we implement changes in our healthcare delivery. Therefore, it is important to capture, track and analyze all medical errors as possible at the institutional level.
As most of the nonmedication medical errors are hard to capture electronically and manual chart review is both unmanageable and time consuming, self-reporting is still the most reliable approach to capturing ME. Unfortunately, underreporting of ME is a commonly reported challenge even when healthcare institutions mandated reporting. While there is no agreement on what defines “underreporting of ME,” it commonly refers to the lack of reports on significant ME events.
【1】What does the underlined word “deleterious” probably mean in the first paragraph?
A．Important.
B．Useful.
C．Harmful.
D．Adequate.
【2】What is the worst effect of ME?
A．Annual patients deaths.
B．Heart disease and cancer.
C．Increasing healthcare cost.
D．Destruction of healthcare system.
【3】What is the first step to fight against ME to improve the patient security?
A．To do research on the different types of ME.
B．To figure out the reason why ME happens.
C．To identify different institutions over time.
D．To analyze the changes in the health delivery.
【4】Why is self-reporting still the most reliable way to capture ME?
A．Because less typical medication ME events recorded.
B．Because the patients are willing to offer the report of ME.
C．Because healthcare institution gives the authority to the patients.
D．Because there is difficulty in electronic capture as well as manual inefficiency.

23、Chinese President Xi Jinping stressed Wednesday that the socialist path China has followed is "correct," and it is the choice of the “history and people.”
Citing(引用) the remarkable achievements China has made over the past 37 years when it initiated the reform and opening-up policy, Xi noted that it only took several decades for China to complete the journey the developed countries have gone through for centuries.
“That fully shows that the Chinese people are following a correct path,” the president said while addressing a banquet hosted by Lord Mayor of the City of London Alan Yarrow on Wednesday evening.
Meanwhile, he pledged that China will stay committed to a peaceful development path and does not accept the logic that a country will seek hegemony(霸权，领导权) once it gets strong.
“No one and nothing — in any reason — can influence China’s determination and will to pursue the path of peaceful development,” he said.
In his speech, the president also explained in detail about the development of friendly relations between China and Britain, citing tea culture, literature, movies, TV dramas, football and cultural exchanges.
He specifically referred to Shakespeare’s influence on him by sharing the story of his youth time in the countryside, when he was deeply attracted by the master’s works.
“The China-Britain friendship has been deeply rooted in the hearts of our two peoples. And there is a solid foundation in public opinion and in society for the two countries to grow long-term relations,” he added.
【1】 According to the passage we know that President Xi Jinping is paying a visit to _______.
A. the U.S.A B. Britain C. Canada D. Russia
【2】 Where can you probably NOT find this passage?
A. On the website B. In a magazine
C. In an essay D. In a newspaper
【3】The underlined word “pledged” in Paragraph 4 could possibly be replaced by ___________.
A. predicted B. confirmed
C. announced D. promised
【4】According to this passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A. Xi mentioned tea culture to emphasize the importance of agriculture in friendship.
B. President Xi Jinping was very interested in Shakespeare's works when in the countryside.
C. The developed countries took hundreds of years to develop to the level that China is now at.
D. There exists a belief that China will seek hegemony once it gets strong.
24、Can a computer think? That depends on what you mean by “think”. If solving a mathematical problem is “thinking”, then a computer can “think” and do so much faster than a man. Most mathematical problems can be solved quite mechanically by repeating certain straightforward processes over and over again. Even the simple computers of today can be geared for that.
It is frequently said that computers solve problems only because they are “programmed” to do so. They can only do what men have them do. One must remember that human beings also can only do what they are “programmed” to do. Our genes “program” us the instant the fertilized ovum is formed, and our potentialities are limited by that “program”.
Our “program” is so much more enormously complex, though, that we might like to define “thinking” in terms of the creativity that goes into writing a great play or composing a great symphony, into developing a brilliant scientific theory or a profound moral judgment. In that sense, computers certainly can’t think and neither can most humans.
Surely, though, if a computer can be made complex enough, it can be as creative as humans. If it could be made as complete as a human brain, it could be the equivalent of a human brain and do whatever a human brain can do.
But how long will it take to build a computer complex enough to duplicate the human brain? Perhaps not as long as someone thinks. Long before we approach a computer as complex as our brain, we will perhaps build a computer that is at least complex enough to design another computer more complex than itself. This more complex computer could design one still more complex and so on and so on and so on.
In other words, once we pass a certain critical point, the computers take over and there is a “complexity explosion”. In a very short time thereafter, computers may exist that not only duplicate the human brain but far surpass it.
【1】In what sense does the writer think that humans are programmed?
A．He thinks a man’s abilities are not limited, as a computer’s are.
B．Their characteristics, powers, etc. are fixed before birth.
C．In the sense that humans will always be superior to computers.
D．Computers must be operated by men, but man can operate by himself.
【2】The writer mentions two kinds of “thinking”. They are________.
A．mathematical thinking and language thinking
B．writing thinking and composing thinking
C．mechanical thinking and creative thinking
D．none of the above
【3】What does the “critical point” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．When one computer is itself clever enough to design a better one.
B．The point at which a computer is an exact copy of a human brain.
C．When a computer can be made as creative as we are.
D．When the computers destroy each other in an explosion.
【4】The underlined word “explosion” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.
A．damage
B．noise
C．excitement
D．leap forward
【5】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Human Brain and Computer’s Thinking.
B．About Computer’s Creative Thinking.
C．How to Build a Complex Computer?
D．Can a computer Think?
25、After having a child, I found my regular exercise interrupted. I was not only busy, but I also lacked the motivation. Solo gym sessions or some quick _______ following the DVD while the baby was sleeping didn’t _______ me at all. So I decided to sign up for a hiking trip in Peru, hoping that it would get me _______ again.
Looking over my travel arrangements before I left, I _______ phrases such as “3-hour hike through primitive forests” and “sliding with a rope down waterfalls”, and I started to feel a little _______.
However, as we made our way through the forests and were _______ with amazing views of awesome waterfalls, this team of strangers _______ me to go on. Being physically active with a group motivated me to reach the _______ or the valley below—rather than simply lying down on the forest floor and giving up, _______ I might have done if I were alone.
Experts confirm my experience: Group exercise can really start a new attitude toward fitness. “People get a better ________ in a group than they do on their own,” said Allison Kimmel, a group ________ instructor.
