The city of Bath was founded by the Romans almost two thousand years ago.It has been famous for its  26  pleasing architecture and healing thermal springs ever since.

There are three hot springs in Bath;one is the King's Spring,upon which the Roman Baths and a temple were  27  .The other two arethe Cross Spring and the Hetling Spring,close to each other in Hot Bath Street.Although Bath is  28  known as a Roman and Georgian city,many people came in the intervening centuries to make use of the  29  waters.

While the Georgians made taking the waters'or bathing particularly fashionable,it was  30  generations who paved the way,creating greater interest in Bath and its springs.CharlesⅡ,desperate for an heir and unable to produce a  31  son,came to Bath to take the waters in the hope that their magical powers would do something to  32 the situation.Craving for a male heir,James and Mary both came to Bath and soon after produceda son,which bred many conspiracy theories about who was the real father of their  33  .Regardless,the ‘miracle’created something of a boom in tourism for Bath and once Queen Anne had paid a visit in 1702,sealing it as the place to be,the whole nation  34  to the city.

Afterwards,the spas(礦泉療養(yǎng)浴場(chǎng))in Bath continued to go in and out of fashion for more than 150 years until they closed completely.The new Bath Spa,which opened in 2006, 35  modern architecture with the ancient spring,now the New Royal Bath.

The Doctor Will Skype You Now

A)Fazila is a young woman that has been dealing with eczema(濕疹),a common skin condition,for the pastfive years,but never got it treated.The nearesthospital is an hour away,by boat and bus,and her skin condition didn't seem serious enough to make the trek,so she ignored it—until a new technology brought thedoctor to her.Fazila lives on one of the remote river islands in northern Bangladesh.These islands are low-lying,temporary sand islands that are continuously formed and destroyed through sand buildup and erosion.They are home to over six million people,who face repeated displacement from flooding and erosion—which may be getting worse because of climate change-and a range of health risks,including poor nutrition,malaria(瘧疾)and other water-borne diseases.

B)The most dangerous thing for these remote island dwellers is landerosion.The second is lack of access to medical supplies and doctors.There are no doctors within miles,and while child mortality and maternal death  have gone down in the rest of the country,this is not the case for the islands.The medical situation is so bad that it really takes away from the quality of their life.Yet for many island inhabitants—some of Bangladesh's poorest—paying for health care is a costly ordeal.Victims of erosion lose their houses,agricultural land and  jobs as farmers,fishermen and day laborers.Though government hospitals are free,many people hesitate to go,citing long commutes,endless lines and questionable diagnoses.For convenience's sake,one-third of rural households visit unqualified village doctors,who rely on unscientific methods of treatment,according to a 2016 study in the peer-reviewed journal Global Health Action.

C)On the islands,there's even a colloquial(口頭的)expression for the idea of making medical care your lowest priority:It's known as “rog pushai rakha"in Bengali,which roughly translates to“stockpiling their diseases”—waiting to seek medical attention until a condition becomes extremely serious.Now,a new virtual medical service called Teledaktar(TD)is trying to make health care more easily accessible.Every week,TD's medical operators travel to the islands by boat,carrying a laptop,a portable printer for prescriptions and tools to run basic medical screenings such as blood pressure,blood sugar,body temperature and weight.They choose an area of the island with the best Internet reception and set up a makeshif(臨時(shí)湊合的)medical center which consists of plastic stools and small tables borrowed from the locals'homes,a tent in case of rain and a sheet that is strung up to give the patients privacy during their session.

D)Launched in October 2018,TD has eight centers in towns and villages across rural Bangladesh and on three islands.It is funded by a nonprofit organization founded by Bangladeshi entrepreneurs,finance and technology professionals.Inside the center,the laptop screen lights up to reveal Dr.Tina Mustahid,TD's head physician,live-streamed(網(wǎng)絡(luò)直播)from the capital city of Dhaka for free remote medical consultations. Affectionately called Doctor Apa—“older sister”in Bengali—by her patients,she is one of three volunteer doctors at TD.

E)“I diagnose them through conversation,”says Dr.Mustahid.“Sometimes it's really obvious things that local doctors don't have the patience to talk through with their patients.For example,a common complaint mothers come in with is that their children refuse to eat their meals.The mothers are concerned they are dealing with indigestion,but it's because they are feeding the childrenpackaged chips which are cheap and convenient.I tell them it is ruining their appetite and ask them to cutback onunhealthy snacks.”Dr.Mustahid says building awareness about health and nutrition is important for island patientswho are cut off from mainland resources.

F)Even off the islands,Bangladesh faces a critical deficit of health services.The country has half the doctors-per-person ratio recommendedby the World Health Organization: roughly one doctorper 2,000 people,instead of one doctor per 1,000 people.And of those physicians,many are concentrated in cities:70% of the country's population live in rural areas,yet less than 20% of health workers practice there.Over 70% of TD's 3,000 patients are female,in part because many are not comfortable speaking with local doctors who tend to be male.The rural women are mostly not literate or confident enough to travel ontheir ownto the nearest town to visit medical facilities.Many have spent their entire lives rebuilding their homes when the islands flood.Early marriage and young motherhood,which are prevalent in these parts of Bangladesh,also contribute to the early onset of health problems.

G)For most TD patients on the islands,Dr.Mustahid is the first big-city doctor that they've everconsulted.TD doctors are notmeant to treat serious illnesses or conditions that requirea doctor to be physically present,such as pregnancy.But they can write prescriptions,diagnosecommon ailments—including digestive issues,joint pain,skin diseases,fever and the common cold and refer patients to doctors at local hospitals.The visit is also an opportunity for the patients,especially women,to air their concerns about aging,motherhood and reproductive health according to Dr.Mustahid.The doctors also offer health,dietary and lifestyle advice where necessary,including insight on everything from recognizing posmatal(產(chǎn)后的)depression to daily exercise.Dr. Mustahid regularly recommendsher patients to takea daily thirty-minute morning walk before the sun getstoo intense.

H)After a few sessions about general health issues Fazila finally opened up about something else that was bothering her:her persistent skin condition.It can get expensive to travel to the doctor,so usually the womenliving on the islands describe their llness to their husbands.The husbands then go tothe pharmacy,try to describe the issue and return home with some random medicines.Nothingworked for Fazila until she startedseeing Dr.Apa.

I)Other nonprofits are also starting to provide health services on the islands.A local non-governmental organization called Friendship operates floating boat hospitals that provide health services to islands all  over Bangladesh,docking at each for two months at a time.Friendship also runs satellite clinics in which one  doctor and one clinic aide who are residents of the community disperse health andhygiene information.

J)TD sill has a few major challenges.Many residents complain the medicines they are prescribed are sometimes unaffordable,but the government isn't doing enough for them. Patients often ask why the medicine isn't free along with the consultation from the doctors.The organizations are linked to local pharmacies and offer discounts to the patients and make sureto prescribe the most cost-effective brands,but still many residents can't afford even that.

K)Nevertheless,TD's remote consultations seem to be popular:Of 3,000 patients,at least 200 have returmed for follow-ups,according to TD.The reason,explains one resident, might be the simple gesture of treating the island inhabitants with respect.“Dr.Apa is patient,”he says,“At government hospitals,the doctors treat us very badly,but here they listento us,I can repeat myself many times and no one gets annoyed.”

36.Some children on the remote islands won't eat their meals because they arefed cheap junk food.

37.Unlike other parts of Bangladesh,the number of women who die from giving birth remains high on the river  islands

38.One big problem many islanders have is that they can't afford the prescribed medicines, even with discounts offered.

39.TD is a virtual medical service financially supported by one of the nation's nonprofit organizations.

40.TD doctors are welcome to the islanders because they treat the sick with respect and patience.

41.Women islanders tend to have health problems early partly because they get married and give birth early.

42.TD doctors make weekly visits to the remote islands to provide services at a temporary medical center.

43.TD doctors provide the islanders with online diagnoses and treatments for common diseases.

44.The residents of the river islands have to keep moving their homes because of floods and land erosions.

45.Women islanders usually rely on their husbands to get some medicines for them without diagnoses and prescriptions.

Section C

Directions:There are 2 passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice  andmark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.

Selective collegesand universities in the U.S.are under fire for being too elite and too expensive,and for not training graduates for the world of work.Such charges ignore the fact that these institutions continue to prepare students for success in their work,for thoughtful engagement in civic life,for lifelong learning,and  for understanding the world and those with whom they live.

These colleges and universities must be doing something right.Applications are at record highs,and their financial aid programs make them more accessible than ever.This model of education has long played a centralrole in creating opportunity,driving economic growth,and spurring innovation.

Yet,there is growing skepticism about the value of this model.The recent tax reform bill is a wake-up call that our strongest colleges and universities are under assault by some in government.The initial proposals would have made education unaffordable for many by taxing tuition waivers for graduate students and ending deductions for student loan interest. Thankfully,these provisions were ultimately stripped from the bill,but lawmakers let stand a new tax on the investment income of some colleges and universities.

While these attacks are motivated by misguided ideas,we need to do a better job of explaining why these claims are false and why what we do is valuable.We cannot take for granted that any of this is obvious.

It is often said that elite colleges and universities do not trainstudents,particularly those who study the liberal arts,for the workforce.But this can be refuted by scholarly research.The data are clear:a liberal arts education is great career preparation,both for excellent lifetime earnings and for satisfaction with the work.This education develops the skills of critical thinking,rigorous analysis of data and facts,communication with the written and spokenword,understanding of cultural differences and issues,and the ability to keep learning.In fact,liberal arts graduates do extremely well in every imaginable field.

Access to an education at selective colleges and universities is now more available than ever to low-and  middle-income families.We have built endowments from donations by alumni(校友)and parents who understand and  appreciate our mission to provide access and opportunity,and a significant portion of there turns from these endowments is used to fund financial aid.

Ironically,the new tax on endowmentsdrains financial aid funds from the very schools most able to offer opportunity to those who have earmed a spot but cannot otherwise afford this education.Beyond the virtue of access to those who have earned a place at these schools,the diversity of economic backgrounds enhances theeducation and experience of all of our students.

46.What fact does the author emphasize concerning selective colleges and universities? 

A)They havebeen ignoring the training of graduates for the world of work.

B)They have been doing well in ensuring their students a successful future.  

C)They have been constantly attacked for being too eliteand too expensive. 

D)They have been actively engaged in civic life beyond the school campus.

47.What does the author say in arguing for the model of education in the U.S.?

A)It has contributed substantially to the nation'soverall development.

B)It has succeeded in maintaining sustainable financial aid programs. 

C)It has given priority to innovative programs for graduate studies.

D)It has played a central role in atracting international applicants.

48.What do we learn about the initial proposals concerning the recent tax reform bill?

A)They would have stripped many students of life's chances.

B)They would have deducted graduate student loan interest.

C)They would have added to many students'financial burden.

D)They would have increased the number of tuition waivers.

49.What do the data show about elite colleges and universities?

A)Their graduateslack the rigor required for doing statistical analysis.

B)Their students prove to be inadequately prepared fortheir future careers.

C)Their focus on research is conducive to developing students'critical thinking

D)Their liberal arts education enables graduatesto excel in whatever field they are in.

50.What is an advantage of providing financial aid for students?

A)Every student can choose the institution they wish to attend.

B)All students can benefit from a diversified student population.

C)All students will be able to earm aplace on university campus.

D)Less privileged students will be more competitive at elite schools.

Passage Two

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage

When a group of Australians was asked why they believed climate change was not happening,about 36% said it was“common sense”,according to a report published last year by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial  Research Organization.This was the most popular reason for their opinion,with only 11% saying their belief  that climate change was not happening was based on scientific research.

But what do we mean by an appeal to common sense?Presumably it's anappeal to rationality of some sort that forms the basis of more complex reasoning.The appeal to common sense,however,is usually nothing more than an appeal to thinking that just feels right,but what feels right to one person may not feel right to another.Whether it feels right is usually a reflection of the world view and ideologies we have internalised,and that frames how we interact with new ideas.When new ideas are in accord with what we already believe,they are more readily accepted.When they are not,they,and the arguments that lead to them,are more readily rejected

We often mistake this automatic compatibility testing of new ideas with existing beliefs as an application of common sense,but,in reality,it is more about judging than thinking.As Nobelist Daniel Kahneman notes in Thinking,Fast and Slow,when we arrive at conclusions in this way,the outcomes also feel true,regardless of whether theyare.Weare not psychologically well equipped to judge our own thinking.

We are also highly susceptible to a range of cognitive biases such as giving preference to the first things that come to mind when making decisions or giving weight to evidence.

One way we can check our internal biases and inconsistencies is through the social verification of knowledge,in which we test our ideas in a rigorous and systematic way to see if they make sense not just to us,but to other people.The outstanding example of this socially shared cognition is science.

That does not mean that individuals are not capable of excellent thinking,nor does it mean no individual is rational.But the extent to which individuals can do this on their own is a function of how well integrated they are with communities of systematic inquiry in the first place.You can't learn to think well by yourself.

In matters of science at least,those who valuetheir common senseover methodological, collaborative investigation imagine themselves to be more free in their thinking,unbound by involvement with the group,but in reality they are tightly bound by their capabilities and perspectives.We are smarter together than we are individually,and perhaps that's just common sense.

51.What does the author intend to show by citing the findings from the report published last year?

A)People seldomappeal to rationality in their thinking.

B)It is often the case that truth lies in the hands of afew.

C)Common sense and science are the two sides of a coin.

D)Few people know if climate change is really happening.

52.What is the appeal to common sense according to the author?

A)It is the basis for the internalisation of individuals'ideologies.

B)It is a series of conceptions formulated from complex reasoning.

C)It is collective wisdom that helps people interact with new ideas.

D)It is something subjective based on what one perceives to be right.

53.What does Daniel Kahneman think is the problem of testing newideas with existingbeliefs?

A)It may lead to incorrect judgment.

B)It makes no use of common sense.

C)It fails to correct mistakes through serious reasoning

D)It can produce psychologically unacceptable outcomes.

54.What can we do to be less susceptible to cognitive biases?

A)Give equal weight to evidence of both sides in a conflict.

B)Provide convincing examples in developing an argument.

C)Establish socially shared cognition via scientific methods.

D)Avoid inconsistencies when addressing controversial issues.

55.What message doesthe author try to convey at the end of the passage?

A)Multiple perspectives stimulate people'sinterest in exploring the unknown

B)Individuals can enhance their overall capabilities by interacting with others.

C)Individuals should think freely to break from the restrictions of common sense. 

D)Collaborative efforts can overcome individuals limitations in scientific inquiry.
