25、enter was unusual. The patient, a 62-year-old man, was made to sleep, tied with blue drapes (消毒帷帘) and lying face up on a narrow table. But no one was touching him.Instead, the operation was being performed by a robot, whose three metal arms went through pencil-sized holes in the mans chest. At the
26、ends of the robots arms were tiny metal fingers, with turning wrists, which held a tiny instrument, a light and a camera. The robots arms and fingers were controlled by Dr. Randall. K. Wolf, the surgeon, sitting at a computer in a corner of the operating room about 20 feet away.This sort of operatio
27、n, heart surgeons say, is the start of what may be the biggest change in their profession since heart bypass surgery (心脏搭桥手术) began nearly 30 years ago. “The reason we make cuts is that we have big hands,” said Dr. Wolf, the director of the surgery at Ohio State. The robots dainty fingers, no longer
28、 than a nail on the small finger, at the end of the long sticks could work better.Eventually, surgeons believe, most heart surgery will be done by robots whose arms are put in through pencil-sized holes punched in patients chests. Instead of directly staring into a patients body, surgeons will view
29、magnified images of the operation on computer screens. In theory, the doctor would not have to be in the same room, or even the same country, as the patient.56. In this passage, the underlined word “dainty” means _.A. small B. weak C. fat D. quick57. According to the passage, the reason that most op
30、erations require large cuts is that _.A. patients have large organs B. surgeons have large handsC. large cuts take less time D. large cuts cost less money58.

Based on the information in this passage, all of the following conclusions are true EXCEPT that _.A. all doctors at Ohio State develop new surgical techniquesB. robot surgery is being developed at Ohio StateC. robot surg
32、ery will be used on many patients in the near futureD. many hospitals will eventually offer robot surgery to patients BInsurance companies provide a service to the community by protecting it against expected and unexpected disasters. Before an insurance company will agree to insure anything, it coll
33、ects accurate figures about the risk. It knows, for example, that the risk of a man being killed in a plane accident is less than the risk he takes in crossing a busy road. This enables it to quote (报价) low figures for travel insurance. Sometimes the risk may be high, as in motor-racing or mountaine
34、ering. Then the company charges a much higher price. If too many climbers have accidents, the price rises further. If the majority of climbers fall off mountains, the company will refuse to insure them.An ordinary householder may wish to protect his home against fire or his property against burglary
35、 (入室行窃). A shopkeeper may wish to insure against theft. In normal cases, the company will check its statistics and quote a premium (保险费). If it is suspicious (可疑的), it may refuse to quote. If it insures a shop and then receives a suspicious claim, it will investigate the claim as a means of protecti
36、ng itself against false claims. It is not unknown for a businessman in debt to burn down his own premises so that he can claim much money from his insurance company. He can be sure that the fire will be investigated most carefully. Insurance companies also accept insurance against shipwreck or disas
37、ter in the air. Planes and ships are very expensive, so a large premium is charged, but a reduction is given to companies with an accident-free record.Every week, insurance companies receive premium payments from customers. These payments can form a very large total running into millions of dollars.
38、 The company does not leave the money in the bank. It invests (投资) in property, shares (股票), farms and even paintings and stamps. Its aim is to obtain the best possible return on its investment. This is not as greedy as it may seem since this is one way by which it can keep its premiums down and con

42、d disastersC. explain how insurance companies operateD. advise people how to insure their life and propertyCTeachers always plan down to the minute what their students will be doing.

43、ay. If parents do plan their childrens lives minute by minute, what happens when that child grows up and goes to college? At some point, kids need to learn to manage their own time.

46、ersions, because its hard to stop and do something like homework. “If that little bit of downtime is television, good luck-getting them to do their homework” says a professor of child development at California State University, “TV is addictive.” A better way to help your child unwind is with a heal

61、held equipment D. never use any of the equipment to do thatEThe business of on-line shopping so far has been disappointing for the pioneering retailers (零售商) who are already offering their services. The problem is that consumers, who say they are interested in the services, are mostly “just looking”
62、.The Internet offers, among other things, an electronic “mall” with scores of retailers selling everything from computer equipment to income tax preparation services. As with anything on the Internet, it is highly decentralized (分散), with no one authority keeping track of transactions (交易), so repor
63、ts of sales are largely inaccurate (不准确). But many of the reports are discouraging.But it is far too soon to sound the death bell for electronic retailing. One reason, say analysts and service providers, is that consumers are only beginning to understand the possibilities of the new technology.On-li
64、ne shopping is just the first link to a host of data bases and multimedia services, allowing customers to research their purchases (购买) and communicate directly with the seller for product service and support. The new services also promise visuals of a quality equal to those ontelevision.Today, few
65、consumers have equipment in their homes capable of receiving such images and data. But McKinsey & Co., the management consulting firm, estimates that the electronic shopping business will reach $ 4 billion to $ 5 billion a year in the United States by the year 2003. That supposes that just 11 percen
66、t of US households will have the technology needed to make online shop- ping work, says George Desvaux, a McKinsey partner.In the end, the success of on-line shopping may turn of something as simple-and as complicated (复杂) as changing the publics idea of how to shop. “The problem with consumers”, sa
67、ys Mr. Desvaux, “is that it is very difficult for them to recognize whether or not they want the product until they have already tried it.”72. By “an electronic mall” (in Line 1, Paragraph 2 ) the writer refers to _.A. the pioneering small businesses B. the business transaction by a computerC. a num
68、ber of functions a computer offers D. a number of shops offering services through a computer73. On-line shopping in the US has not been doing well mainly because _.A. consumers only want to do research on some productsB. consumers are not very familiar with the new technologyC. consumers are not wil
69、ling to spend money buying the equipmentD. consumers only want to get some relevant (相关的) information about the product74.

75、o, just do our best and keep fit.作文参考：Wealth and HealthWhich is more important, wealth or health? Different people have different opinions. Some people prefer wealth, holding that money can not bring everything, but without it, one can do nothing. In order to accumulate more money they can do anythi
76、ng. However, other people regard health as more important. Once health is lost, it is no use having a lot of money.As far as I am concerned, I love wealth, but I value health more. Everybody wants to live a happy life. So they try their best to earn money which they can ensure they lead a comfortable life, but if happiness and comfort are achieved at the cost of their health, how can they be happy? Without health money becomes meaningless.In my opinion, no one agrees that a wealthy person without good health can be happy. So, just do our best and keep fit.
