we commonly think that our health is affected by our age, gender, lifestyle and genetic factors that we inherit from our parents. however, these factors are only a small part of what affects our health. other factors include our social relationships, income, education and working conditions. let's look at stress for example. unemployment or poor working conditions create unstable life situations and cause stress, which has negative effects on health. one major factor, education, determines income or employment. however, even if you are employed, some workplace conditions, such as lack of flexibility and control over your workday can cause stress. as you can see, many complex social processes and other factors are connected with one another to affect our health. studying how these factors work together in large populations is a challenge for researchers and that is what we would like to look at next.

passage one(题材:人文)
new orleans, with too many private hospitals competing desperately for paying patients, has become notorious for dumping patients. a typical "dump" was described by a director of emergency medical care at charity hospital. early in november his department received a call from a private hospital seeking to transfer a patient. they told us he had slight facial lacerations, the director said. "it sounded ordinary enough. but what the emergency room doctors found when the man arrived was something else. his face was torn to bits. we found teeth in the man's throat. i could take my fingers and move his jaws back and forth like a flag in a high wind. the bottom part of the man's face was crushed. we had to give him six pints of blood. he wasn't getting enough oxygen because of the blood in his throat." doctors at the first hospital had done nothing for the man other than transfer him.
dumping has become so routine in new orleans that, even though anyone needing emergency treatment is supposed to be taken to the nearest hospital, ambulance crews routinely ask accident victims or members of the families if they have insurance. if the answer is no, the ambulance crew quietly transfers patients to charity hospital.
frequently, the transferees weren't told the reason for the transfer. a quarter of all those transferred were physically unstable—they suffered from bleeding, shock, severe burns, etc.—and shouldn't have been transferred.
patients who get dumped aren't the only ones hurt. at a hospital such as cook county, in los angeles, which treats nearly a thousand patients a day in its emergency room, extra cases create real hardship." these patients go through incredible ordeals. some of them don't get seen the day they come and have to come back and line up again," said hospital personnel.
despite the horrors revealed by studies of dumping, not many cases have resulted in lawsuits. this isn't surprising, for people who get dumped often don't have the resources to fight legal battles, and in many states there are no laws protecting against dumping. on the national level, legislation is pending to protect patients by mandating that patients be stabilized before they are transferred.
61. in a typical case of dumping patients, the private hospital would ______.
deliberately get rid of patients with no means to pay
refer a difficult case to a better-equipped hospital
deal quickly with the patient before transferring
only give primary treatment to paying patients
答案:a
预估难度:中
知识点:具体细节
62. as required in new orleans, ________.
the medical insurance does not cover the ambulance
the patient can't be transferred against his or her will
the ambulance crews should include experienced doctors
the patient in emergency should be sent to a nearby hospital
答案:d
预估难度:易
知识点:判断推理
63. as implied in the 4th paragraph, patients who get dumped ________.
are accepted normally and treated quickly
often need to wait for their turns just like others
may disrupt the routine treatment of other patients
are usually taken back to the hospital where they belong
答案:c
预估难度:中
知识点:判断推理
64. what, according to the passage, is the legal problem about dumping?
the transferees can hardly make out a good case.
the transferees are not rich enough to hire lawyers.
the transferees often have difficulty fighting legal battles.
the transferees are often not surprised by the horrors due to dumping.
答案:c

65. we can infer from the last paragraph that in the us ________.

passage two(题材:科普)
brittany donovan was born 13 years ago in pennsylvania. her biological father was sperm donor g738. unbeknown to brittany's mother, g738 carried a genetic defect known as fragile x-a mutation that all female children born from his sperm will inherit, and which causes mental impairment, behavioral problems and atypical social development.
last week, brittany was given the green light to sue the sperm bank, idant laboratories of new york, under the state's product liability laws. these laws were designed to allow consumers to seek compensation from companies whose products are defective and cause harm. nobody expected them to be applied to donor sperm.
thousands of people in the us have purchased sperm from sperm banks on the promise that the donor's history has been carefully scrutinized and his sample rigorously tested, only for some of them to discover that they have been sold a batch of bad seed. some parents learn about genetic anomalies after their disabled child is born and they press the sperm bank for more information. others realize it when they contact biological half-siblings who have the same disorder.
so will donovan vs idant laboratories open the floodgates? it seems unlikely. new york's product liability laws are highly unusual in that they consider donor sperm to be a product just like any other. most other us states grant special status to blood products and body parts, including sperm. in these states, donor sperm is not considered a"product"in the usual sense, despite the fact that it is tested, processed, packaged, catalogued, marketed and sold. similarly, european union product liability law could not be used in this way.
even if this lawsuit is an isolated case, it still raises some difficult questions. first, to what lengths should sperm banks go to ensure they are supplying defect-free sperm? as we learn more and more about human genetics, there is a growing list of tests that could be performed. nobody would deny that donor sperm carrying the fragile x mutation should be screened out-and there is a test that can do so-but what about more subtle defects, such as language impairment or susceptibility to early alzheimer's?
66. donovan sued idant laboratories for ________.
selling donor sperm as a product
supplying problematic donor sperm
boasting defective biological products
failing to protect the client's confidentiality
答案:b
预估难度:易
知识点:具体细节
67. under the state's product liability laws, the controversial question of the case was whether ________.
donated sperm could be considered just a product
donovan could be allowed to sue the sperm bank.
donovan's genetic defect could be confirmed
the company could afford the compensation
答案:a
预估难度:中
知识点:判断推理
68. it can be inferred from the passage that actually thousands of people in the us purchase sperm _______.
out of their desperate needs
regardless of repeated warnings
with a series of privacy violations
without knowing its potential dangers
答案:d
预估难度:中
知识点:判断推理
69. the reason why the case is unlikely to open the floodgates is that the ny-based laws _______.
guarantee the safety of donor sperm
give special status to the issue of sperm
treat donor sperm as a product by all means
are specially designed for body parts, including sperm
答案:c
预估难度:易
知识点:具体细节
70. which of the following can most probably serve as the general idea of the passage?
a chance in a million.
science behind the law.
a product hard to guarantee.
no such a thing as donor sperm.

passage three(题材:医普)
after 25 years of battling the mother of all viruses, have we finally got the measure of hiv? three developments featured in this issue collectively give grounds for optimism that would have been scarcely believable a year ago in the wake of another failed vaccine and continuing problems supplying drugs to all who need them.
perhaps the most compelling hope lies in the apparent "cure" of a man with hiv who had also developed leukemia. doctors treated his leukemia with a bone marrow transplant that also vanquished the virus. now us company sangamo biosciences is hoping to emulate the effect using gene therapy. if it works, and that is still a big if, it would open up the possibility of patients being cured with a single shot of gene therapy, instead of taking antiretroviral drugs for life.
antiretroviral therapy (art) is itself another reason for optimism. researchers at the world health organization have calculated that hiv could be effectively eradicated in africa and other hard-hit places using existing drugs. the trick is to test everyone often, and give those who test positive art as soon as possible. because the drugs rapidly reduce circulating levels of the virus to almost zero, it would stop people passing it on through sex. by blocking the cycle of infection in this way, the virus could be virtually eradicated by 2050.
funding such a long-term program would cost serious money-initially around s3.5 billion a year in south africa alone. huge as it sounds, however, it is peanuts compared with the estimated $1.9 trillion cost of the iraq war. it also looks small beer compared with the costs of carrying on as usual, which the who says can only lead to spiraling cases and costs.
the final bit of good news is that the cost of art could keep on falling. last friday, glaxosmithkline chairman andrew witty said that his company would offer all its medicines to the poorest countries for a lower price than the typical price in rich countries. gsk has already been doing this for art, and, hopefully, other companies may follow their lead.
no one doubts the devastation caused by aids. in 2007, 2 million people died and 2.7 million more contracted the virus. those dismal numbers are not going to turn around soon—and they won't turn around at all without huge effort and investment. but at least there is renewed belief that, given the time and money, we can finally start ridding the world of this most fearsome of viruses.
71. which of the following can be most probably used to describe the key message conveyed in the passage?
optimism should never be lost, whatever happens.
we can see some light at the end of the tunnel.
a quick fix is no longer a dream.
disasters can still hit endlessly.
答案:b
预估难度:中
知识点:大意概括
72. according to the passage, the case of the apparent"cure"could ______.

答案:d

73. which of the following is referred to as another bit of optimism?

74. it can be safely inferred from the passage that in the foreseeable future ________.

试卷二(paper two)
part v 书面表达(writing)
本部分为书面表达,旨在测试考生使用英语书面表达自己思想的能力。测试分为摘要写作翻译(汉译英)和命题作文 3 种形式,每年任选其中一种。题材内容主要为与医学相关的社会议论话题或科普内容。
该部分共计 20 分。考试时间 50 分钟
1. 摘要写作(summary writing)
要求考生阅读一篇汉语短文并为其撰写英文摘要。摘要具有一定的体例规范要求,而不是简单的选择性汉译英。考生在阅读一篇字数为 600~800 之间的汉语短文后,用英语写出一篇约 200 个单词的摘要。该题型重点考查考生的分析归纳和书面表达能力,在分析归纳方面,要求考生撰写的摘要必须覆盖所规定的所有要点或重点,偏离主题或漏写要点会影响得分。在英语书面表达能力方面,要求所写摘要用词恰当、语法正确、篇章结构合理,文字通顺,符合英语表达习惯。
答题要求:
(1) 紧扣主题,归纳总结。
(2) 需涵盖所有重点内容。
(3) 避免选择原句进行简单翻译。
(4) 无须推演或推论。
例:
薪酬收入与付出极不平衡是全科医生(general practitioner, gp)目前最为突出的问题。全科医生肩负基本医疗和公共卫生两项任务。这意味着除了医疗本职工作之外,还需要承担预防保健、病人康复和慢性病管理、健康管理等任务。胜任这些任务就需要更高的综合素质。
据上海长宁区某社区医院医生透露,上级要求社区医生学习中医、心理咨询、健康管理、营养等,并且还要求到达中级证书水平。学了这么多证书出来,每天上班既要从事医疗工作,又要做公卫工作,一个人要签约近 3000 名居民,收入却依然是四五千。增加了这么多技能,提供了这么多服务,工资却没有变化,全科医师心理的天平自然会不平衡。
据央视报道,上海潍坊社区的医生李亚玲一年收入是 7 万元,而与她同期毕业在某三甲医院工作的同学收入比她高 1 倍。面对这样的现实,如果有机会找到收入更高的工作,她没理由不改行。有数据显示,2007 年至 2009 年,北京市社区卫生服务机构共引进 2000 人,但 3 年里流失率非常高,而社区医生流失原因中 67% 是因为薪酬低。
据了解,国外全科医生的收入是社会平均工资的 3~4 倍,这与当下我国社会全科医生的薪酬形成鲜明对比。国外全科医生的待遇普遍较高,英国、德国等发达全科医生待遇约是社会平均收人的 3~4 倍,与此相对,我国全科医生收入与社会平均收入水平基本持平,仅有 4% 左右的医生年收入超过 10 万元,相较于发达 3~4 倍于社会平均收人水平的全科医生收人,我国全科医生的待遇较低,薪酬回报不具有吸引力,这也是我国全科医生行业人才匮乏、素质整体较低的重要原因。
参考答案(19~20分)
用中文概括三个重要方面:
(1) 问题的存在/性质。
(2) 全科医生需严格的资质要求。
(3) 全科医生收入偏低,以及其因果关系。
currently, the problem is that general practitioners(gp) are short-paid. their income does not match with their hard job. they have a wide range of duties such as clinical practice, preventive healthcare, patient's rehabilitation, chronic disease management, and health management. such duties are quite demanding on the gp. however, the efforts they have made are not paid for enough. on the one hand, gps are required to receive continuing medical education for certificates and qualifications. once a gp is qualified, he/she has to be engaged in both medical practice and public health for 3 000 local residents who have signed a contract with their gp. on the other hand, gps are quite short-paid for their hard efforts. as a case in point, dr. li yaling, a gp for a local community, earns her annual income of rmb70,000.00, much lower than that made by her counterpart who works in a tertiary hospital. gps in britain, germany and other developed countries earn their annual income 3~4 times higher than the national average income, while chinese gps make approximately the national average. as a result, they tend to leave their jobs for higher-paid positions. the insufficient workforce can lead to lowered quality of medical service in general.
2. 翻译(translation;汉译英)
将一篇 300 个字左右的汉语短文翻译为英语,短文可以是一段,也可以是数段,共计 20 分。考试时间 50 分钟,该题型旨在测试考生汉译英的能力,重点考查考生用英语准确再现汉语原文思想和内容的能力。
答题要求:
(1) 译文必须忠实于原文,不能随意发挥。
(2) 用词恰当,注意词性的必要转换。
(3) 注意使用正确的英语语法。
(4) 文字通顺,符合英语表达习惯。

由于人口老龄化进程加速和疾病谱(disease spectrum)从传染病为主向以慢性非传染性疾病为主的转变,医学模式已从传统的生物医学模式转变为生物—心理—社会医学模式。与此相应,医疗卫生服务已向四个方面扩展,即从单纯治疗扩展到预防保健,从生理扩展到心理,从医院服务扩展到家庭和社区,从单纯的医疗技术措施扩展到综合的社会服务。
为适应医学模式转变而发生的上述四个变化,是医学社会化的必然趋势,也是产生社会医学的客观依据。

the medical model has changed from the biomedical one to the biology-psychology-society one simply because of the increasing speed of aging populations and the shift of disease spectrum from infectious disease to chronic and non-infectious ones. correspondingly, the healthcare services are managed in four directions:from the single medical treatment to preventive healthcare, from physiology to psychology, from the hospital service to community services and homecare, and from the single therapies of medical technology to the comprehensive social work.
in response to these four transfers caused by the shift of the medical model, inevitably, the medical socialization comes into being. the inevitable trend produces objective evidence for the development of social medicine.
