21、Directions: complete the following passage by using the sentenced given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
It is a common experience for many: You make donations to others, such as unfortunate people in disaster-stricken areas, and you are appreciated. 【1】
A billionaire couple has recently made one of the biggest charitable donations to a university in China’s history. Chen Tianqiao and Chrissy Luo, co-founders of China’s Shanda Group, donated $115 million (799 million yuan) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to help advanced brain research. The couple’s donation will be spent building a neuroscience(神经科学) institute, with the aim of deepening the understanding of how the brain works, according to a statement from Caltech. Chen has been interested in brain research for a long time.
However, this huge donation has caused heated discussions among Chinese scholars and internet users alike.
Many criticized them for choosing to give money to a foreign university rather than Chinese institutes for brain research, which are developing fast and are on track to catch up with the US in just a few years. 【2】
Others, however, support the couple’s choice for brain research. They believe Caltech is a more rational choice compared to Chinese research institutions. 【3】 In addition, the results of the research benefit not only the American people, but also the rest of the world.
A similar controversy started two years ago when Pan Shiyi, chairman of SOHO China, along with his wife Zhang Xin, donated $15 million to Harvard University to help disadvantaged Chinese students.
Many believe that China is still behind in the management and use of donated money, and that as a result, Chinese philanthropists(慈善家) are looking abroad. 【4】 In comparison, Western countries like the US, which have a long history of donating money, have well-developed systems that use the donations efficiently.
“To get more donations, Chinese universities should be bolder and more honest… they need self-reflection, rather than jealousy,” commented Xinhua.
A. Rao Yi, a biologist and professor at Peking University, even said the donation was a “typical mistake”.
B. Some previously planned to donate to a Chinese university, but this didn’t happen after the university refused to give them a report on the planned use of the money.
C. It can shape the industries of the future such as artificial intelligence, robotics and virtual reality.
D. However, donations can also draw criticism.
AB. They can also provide full access for donors who want to trace the use of the money.
AC. It has a long history and has taken a leading position in biology and neuroscience studies, therefore producing more efficient results.

23、 A new study has found the amount of antibiotics (抗生素) given to farm animals is expected to increase by two thirds over the next 15 years. Researchers are linking the growing dependence on the drugs to the increasing need for meat, milk and eggs. However, the drugs could quicken the development of antibioticresistant infections (感染). Such infections are already a major public health concern in the United States.
The World Health Organization (WHO) notes when people stop living in poverty (贫困), the first thing they want to do is eat better, rather than earn more money. For most people, that means their diet should contain more meat.With the rapid development of Asia, people there are eating nearly four times as much meat, milk and other milk products as they did 50 years ago.
To meet the need, farmers have put many animals into smaller spaces. As the animals are crowded together, the easiest way to deal with some of the problems of crowding is to give them antibiotics. It’s clear that antibiotics help animals stay healthy in crowded environments and grow faster. But bacteria can develop resistance to the drugs gradually.
Nowadays, doctors find antibiotics that once worked against the infections no longer work. The bacteria have learned ways to fight against the drugs. The heavy use of antibiotics in farm animals is responsible for the growth of antibiotic resistance worldwide. Each year in the United States, at least two million people get antibioticresistant infections and at least 23,000 die from these infections.
Europe has banned the use of antibiotics to increase animal growth. And the United States is hoping to persuade farmers to stop using antibiotics for that purpose.
【1】What causes the increasing amount of antibiotics given to farm animals?
A．The desire for new drugs.
B．The less effective antibiotics.
C．The outdated farm technology.
D．The need for more various foods.
【2】What do most people want to do first when they get rid of poverty according to the WHO?
A．Making a lot of money.
B．Focusing more on health.
C．Having more meat in their diet.
D．Living in a better environment.
【3】What’s the passage mainly about?
A．The negative effect of antibiotics on farm animals.
B．The advantages of using antibiotics.
C．The reason for banning the use of antibiotics.
D．A new way of raising farm animals.
24、The Supreme Court’s decisions on physician-assisted suicide carry important implications for how medicine seeds to relieve dying patients of pain and suffering.
Although it ruled that there is no constitutional right to physician-assisted suicide, the Court in effect supported the medical principle of “double effects”, a centuries-old moral principle holding that an action having two effects----a good one that is intended and a harmful one that is foreseen---is permissible if the actor intends only the good effect.
Doctors have used that principle in recent years to justify using high doses of morphine to control terminally ill patients’ pain, even though increasing dosages will eventually kill the patient.
Nancy Dubler, director of Montefiore Medical Center, contends that the principle will shield doctors who "until now have very, very strongly insisted that they could not give patients sufficient medication to control their pain if that might hasten death."
George Annas, chair of the health law department at Boston University, maintains that, as long as a doctor prescribes a drug for a legitimate medical purpose, the doctor has done nothing illegal even if the patient uses the drug to hasten death. "It's like surgery, " he says. “We don't call those deaths homicides because the doctors didn't intend to kill their patients, although they risked their death. If you're a physician, you can risk your patient's suicide as long as you don't intend their suicide."
On another level, many in the medical community acknowledge that the assisted-suicide debate has been fueled in part by the despair of patients for whom modern medicine has prolonged the physical agony of dying.
Just three weeks before the Court's ruling on physician-assisted suicide, the National Academy of Science (NAS) released a two-volume report, Approaching Death: Improving Care at the End of Life. It identifies the undertreatment of pain and the aggressive use of "ineffectual and forced medical procedures that may prolong and even dishonor the period of dying" as the twin problems of end-of-life care.
The profession is taking steps to require young doctors to train in hospices, to test knowledge of aggressive pain management therapies, to develop a Medicare billing code for hospital-based care, and to develop new standards for assessing and treating pain at the end of life.
Annas says lawyers can play a key role in insisting that these well-meaning medical initiatives translate into better care. “Large numbers of physicians seem unconcerned with the pain their patients are needlessly and predictably suffering,” to the extent that it constitutes “systematic patient abuse.” He says medical licensing boards “must make it clear ... that painful deaths are presumptively ones that are incompetently managed and should result in license suspension.”
【1】From the first three paragraphs, we learn that_____________
A. doctors used to increase drug dosages to control their patients' pain.
B. it is still illegal for doctors to help the dying end their lives.
C. the Supreme Court strongly opposes physician-assisted suicide.

D. A doctor's medication is no longer justified by his intentions.
【3】Which of the following best defines the word “aggressive" (line 3, paragraph 7 ) ?
A. Bold. B. Harmful. C. Careless. D. Desperate.
【4】George Annas would probably agree that doctors should be punished if they __________.
A. manage their patients incompetently
B. give patients more medicine than needed
C. reduce drug dosages for their patients
D. prolong the needless suffering of the patients
