Eachparagraph is marked with a letter: Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter onAnswer Sheet 2.

　　The Doctor Will Skype You Now

　　A) Fazila is a young woman that has been dealing with eczema (温疹), a common skincondition, for the past five years, but never got it treated. The nearest hospital is an houraway, by boat and bus, and her skin condition didn't seem serious enough to make thetrek, so she ignored it-until a new technology brought the doctor to her. Fazila lives onone of the remote river islands in northern Bangladesh. These islands are low-lying.temporary sand islands that are continuously formed and destroyed through sandbuildup and erosion. They are home to over six million people, who face repeateddisplacement from flooding and erosion--which may be getting worse because ofclimate change-and a range of health risks, including poor nutrition, malaria (疟疾) andother water-borne diseases

　　B) The most dangerous thing for these remote island dwellers is land erosion. The seconcis lack of access to medical supplies and doctors. There are no doctors within miles, andwhile child mortality and maternal death have gone down in the rest of the country, thisis not the case for the islands. The medical situation is so bad that it really takes awayfrom the quality of their life. Yet for many island inhabitants--some of Bangladesh'spoorest--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 governmenthospitals are free, many people hesitate to go, citing long commutes, endless lines andquestionable diagnoses. For convenience's sake, one-third of rural households visitunqualified village doctors, who rely on unscientific methods of treatment, according toa 2016 study in the peer-reviewed journal lobal Health Action.

　　C) On the islands, there's even a colloquial (   头的) expression for the idea of makingmedical care your lowest priority: It's known as “rog pushai rakhain Bengali, whichroughly translates to “stockpiling their diseases”-waiting to seek medical attentionuntil a condition becomes extremely serious. Now, a new yirtual medical service calledTeledaktar (TD) is trying to make health care more easily accessible. Every week, TD'smedical operators travel to the islands by boat, carrying a laptop, a portable printer forprescriptions and tools to run basic medical screenings such as blood pressure, bloodsugar, body temperature and weight. They choose an area of the island with the bestInternet reception and set up a makeshift (临时凑合的) medical center which consistsof plastic stools and small tables borrowed from the locals’ homes, a tent in case of rainand 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 ruraBangladesh and on three islands. lt is funded by a nonprofit organization founded bBangladeshi entrepreneurs, finance and technology professionals. Inside the center, theaptop screen lights up to reveal Dr. Tina Mustahid, TD's head physician, /ive-streamec(网络直播) from the capital city of Dhaka for free remote medical consultations.Affectionately called Doctor Apa- “older sisterin Bengali--by her patients. she isone of three volunteer doctors at TD.

　　E) “I diagnose them through conversation,”says Dr. Mustahid. “Sometimes it's reallyobvious things that local doctors don't have the patience to talk through with theirpatients. For example, a common complaint mothers come in with is that their childrenrefuse to eat their meals. The mothers are concerned they are dealing with indigestion. but it's because they are feeding the children packaged chips which are cheap andconvenient. I tell them it is ruining their appetite and ask them to cut back on unhealthysnacks.”Dr. Mustahid says building awareness about health and nutrition is importantfor island patients who are cut off from mainland resources.

　　F) Even off the islands, Bangladesh faces a critical deficit of health services. The countryhas half the doctors-per-person ratio recommended by the World Health Organization:roughly one doctor per 2,000 people. instead of one doctor per 1.000 people. And otthose physicians, many are concentrated in cities: 70% of the country's population livein rural areas, yet less than 20% of health workers practice there. Over 70% of TD's3000 patients are female, in part because many are not comfortable speaking with localdoctors who tend to be male. The rural women are mostly not literate or confidentenough to travel on their own to the nearest town to visit medical facilities. Many havespent their entire lives rebuilding their homes when the islands flood. Early marriageand young motherhood, which are prevalent in these parts of Bangladesh, alsocontribute to the early onset of health problems

　　G) For most TD patients on the islands, Dr. Mustahid is the first big-city doctor thatthey've ever consulted. TD doctors are not meant to treat serious illnesses or conditionsthat require a doctor to be physically present, such as pregnancy. But they can writeprescriptions.diagnose common ailments--including digestive issues, joint pain, skindiseases. 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 concernsabout aging, motherhood and reproductive health according to Dr. Mustahid. Thedoctors also offer health, dietary and lifestyle advice where necessary, including insighion everything from recognizing postnatal (产后的) depression to daily exercise. DrMustahid regularly recommends her patients to take a daily thirty-minute morning walkbefore the sun gets too intense

　　H) After a few sessions about general health issues Fazila finally opened up aboutsomething else that was bothering her: her persistent skin condition. It can geexpensive to travel to the doctor, so usually the women living on the islands describetheir illness to their husbands. The husbands then go to the pharmacy, try to describe theissue and return home with some random medicines. Nothing worked for Fazila untishe started seeing Dr. Apa.

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

　　J) TD still has a few major challenges. Many residents complain the medicines they areprescribed are sometimes unaffordable, but the government isnt doing enough for themPatients often ask why the medicine isn't free along with the consultation from thedoctors. The organizations are linked to local pharmacies and offer discounts to thepatients and make sure to prescribe the most cost-effective brands. but still manyresidents cant afford even that.

　　K) Nevertheless, TD's remote consultations seem to be popular: Of 3,000 patients. at least 200 have returned for follow-ups, according to TD. The reason, explains one residentmight be the simple gesture of treating the island inhabitants with respect.“Dr. Apa ispatient, he says, “At government hospitals, the doctors treat us very badly, but herethey listen to 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 are fed cheap junk food.

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

　　38. One big problem many islanders have is that they can’t afford the prescribed medicineseven with discounts offered.

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

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

　　4l. Women islanders tend to have health problems early partly because they get marriedand 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 floodsand land erosions.

　　45. Women islanders usually rely on their husbands to get some medicines for them withoutdiagnoses and prescriptions.

　　Section C

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

　　Passage One

　　Ouestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passageSelective colleges and universities in the U.S. are under fire for being too elite and tooexpensive, and for not training graduates for the world of work. Such charges ignore thefact that these institutions continue to prepare students for success in their work, forthoughtful engagement in civic life. for lifelong learning, and for understanding the worldand those with whom they live. These colleges and universities must be doing something right. Applications are atrecord highs, and their financial aid programs make them more accessible than ever. Thismodel of education has long played a central role in creating opportunity, driving economic growth,and spurring innovation Yet, there is growing skepticism about the value of this model. The recent tax reformbill is a wake-up call that our strongest colleges and universities are under assault by somein government. The initial proposals would have made education unaffordable for many bytaxing tuition waivers for graduate students and ending deductions for student loan interestThankfully, these provisions were ultimately stripped from the bill, but lawmakers let stand a new tax on the investment income of some colleges and uniyersities.While these attacks are motivated by misguided ideas, we need to do a better job ofexplaining why these claims are false and why what we do is valuable. We cannot take forgranted that any of this is obvious. lt is often said that elite colleges and universities do not train students, particularlythose who study the liberal arts, for the workforce. But this can be refuted by scholarlyresearch. The data are clear: a liberal arts education is great career preparation, both forexcellent lifetime earnings and for satisfaction with the work. This education develops theskills of critical thinking, rigorous analysis of data and facts, communication with thewritten and spoken word. understanding of cultural differences and issues. and the ability tokeep 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 availablethan ever to low-and middle-income families. We have built endowments from donationsby alumni(校友) and parents who understand and appreciate our mission to provide accessand opportunity, and a significant portion of the returns from these endowments is used tofund financial aid. Ironically, the new tax on endowments drains financial aid funds from the very schoolsmost able to offer opportunity to those who have earned a spot but cannot otherwise affordthis education. Beyond the virtue of access to those who have earned a place at theseschools, the diversity of economic backgrounds enhances the education and experience ofall of our students

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

　　A) They have been 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 elite and too expensive

　　B) It has succeeded in maintaining sustainable financial aid programs

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

　　D) lt has played a central role in attracting 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?

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

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

　　B) All students can benefit from a diversified student population

　　C) All students will be able to earn a place on university campus

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

　　Passage Two

　　Ouestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passageWhen a group of Australians was asked why they believed climate change was nothappening, about 36% said it was “common sense, according to a report published lastyear by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization. This was themost popular reason for their opinion, with only 11% saying their belief that climate changewas not happening was based on scientific research. But what do we mean by an appeal to common sense? Presumably it's an appeal torationality of some sort that forms the basis of more complex reasoning. The appeal tocommon sense, however, is usually nothing more than an appeal to thinking that just feelsright, but what feels right to one person may not feel right to another. Whether it feels rightis usually a reflection of the world view and ideologies we have internalised, and thatframes how we interact with new ideas. When new ideas are in accord with what wealready believe, they are more readily accepted. When they are not, they, and the argumentsthat lead to them, are more readily rejected. We often mistake this automatic compatibility testing of new ideas with existing belief!as an application of common sense, but, in reality, it is more about judging than thinkingAs Nobelist Daniel Kahneman notes in Thinking, Fasl and S/ow, when we arrive atconclusions in this way, the outcomes also feel true, regardless of whether they are. We are not psychologically well equipped to judge our own thinking.We are also highly susceptible to a range of cognitive biases such as giving preferenceto 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 socialverification of knowledge, in which we test our ideas in a rigorous and systematic way tosee if they make sense not just to us, but to other people. The outstanding example of thissocially shared cognition is science. That does not mean that individuals are not capable of excellent thinking, nor does itmean no individual is rational. But the extent to which individuals can do this on their ownis a function of how well integrated they are with communities of systematic inquiry in thefirst place. You can't learn to think well by yourself. In matters of science at least, those who value their common sense over 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 andperspectives. We are smarter together than we are individually, and perhaps that's justcommon sense.

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

　　A) People seldom appeal to rationality in their thinking

　　B) It is often the case that truth lies in the hands of a few

　　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) lt 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 new ideas with existing beliefs?

　　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 does the author try to convey at the end of the passage?

　　A) Multiple perspectives stimulate people's interest 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.
