从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案，并在答题卡上将相应的字母涂黑。 Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
In March 2004, Joe Ryan got a notice from a hilling agency for a hospital near Denver, Colorado. The hospital wanted payment for surgery totaling $ 41, 188. Ryan had never set foot in that hospital. Obviously there was some mistake. \it was a joke. \Ryan.
But when he called the billing agency, nobody laughed. Someone, who's also named Joe Ryan, using Rvan's Social Security nuether, had indeed been admitted for surgery. He figured clearing this up would take a just few phone calls.
Two years later, Ryan continues to suffer from the damage to his credit rating and still doesn't know if his medical record has been cleared of wrong information.
Joe Ryan was the victim of a little-known but frightening type of consumer cheating that is on the rise: medical identity theft, which involves using your name to get drugs, expensive medical treatment and even cheating insurance payments.
As Ryan discovered, money isn't the half of it. When someone steals your name to receive health care, his medical history becomes part of your record -- and setting the record straight can be extremely diffieuh, That's because, in part, the information is handed out among dozens of care givers, from doctors to medicine stores to insurance companies and labs.
\they had
a three-inch-thick record for me, but they wouldn't let me see it. I showed them my ID, and they
said that's not Joe Ryan's signature. Well, of course not ! They had this other guy's signature. \
Ryan had fallen into a victim's Catch-22; If your record doesn't appear to be yours, you may not have the right to read it, much less change it.
Ryan's next step was a visit to the police department. But the police said that there was not much they could do, that the local law enforcement has little experience with medical ID theft,and cases like this can end up being considered a civil matter.
21. The biffing agency sent Joe Ryan a notice to __ 【 】 A. play a joke on him for medical treatment B. inform him of the payment for his surgery
C. clear up the wrong information in his medical record D. correct the mistakes about payment for his surgery
22. Joe Ryan initially thought his problem was __ 【 】 A. easy to settle B. difficult to settle C. impossible to solve D. unnecessary to solve
23. The number of the medical identity theft cases is __ 【 】 A. increasing B. decreasing

C. the widely spread medical information of the victim D. the difficulty in changing the wrong medical history
25. It can be known that the medical ID theft is ___ 【 】 A. a civil matter B. a medical case C. a political issue D. a domestic event Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

Any actor, director or screenwriter who wants to depict it must first meet with Reiner. \are basically advertising cigarettes to kids. \ Movie characters light up more often than people do in real life, argues Stanton Glantz, a professor of medicine who has launched a \study found that on average the 20 top-grossing films featured 50% mare instances of smoking an hour in 2000 than in 1960. And an American Lung Association survey discovered that 61% of the tobacco use in films last year occurred in movies rated G, PG and PG-13. With teen smoking up dramatically in the past decade, a movement is building to hold Hollywood accountable. So Glantz says, \

They hit the bosses with hard facts: a million teens a year become daily smokers,and a third of those will eventually die from tobacco-related illness. When Doran and Moses met with executives from Imagine Pictures, says Doran, \?Smoking is not in any of our scripts. ' But then they called the next day and said, ' We looked, and it's everywhere. ' \take smoking out of one script after the meeting.\the actor insisted on smoking, \says.

I met him on the Interuet and we chatted tbr several months. Every time I suggested we meet in person, he would come up with an excuse. I thought it was strange - but he told me that he had not gotten over the death of his wife and he was still grieving for her. I thought that he needed a friend and decided that I cmdd he that friend. We sent cards, exchanged gifts, talked on the phone and i was sure that we would meet someday. I had spoken with his children so 1 was sure that what he told me was true. I could not wait for the day when we would meet. I was so looking forward to being able to reach out and touch him, to hug him, to hold him and feel his big strong arms around me.
After ahnost two years of time, thousands of dollars on long distance phone calls, I was vet7 frustrated at the endless stream of excuses as to why we could never seem to make a time to meet.Finally, I contacted the website WhoisHe. corn and asked if they could check out the man who had taken up so much of m; heart, my energy and my life. 1 had enough information about him and felt that if I could confirm what he had been telling me -- I could feel okay about these delays. I had hopes that I didn't want to dash if he was telling the trnth. I believed I could wait a little while longer.
Well, I am glad that 1 decided to have him checked out--he was nothing he claimed to be.He was first and foremost a roan'ted man. He was not a man grieving for the loss of his wife. He was a man cheating on his wife. with me—and I found out later, with countless others on the \He talked of spending his life together with me. He told my son that he wanted to make me happy. Basically, he just lied. He was such a good liar l did not see it coming. It was as if he had been able to worm his way into my heart--and he didn't care about the effect he had on my hopes and dreams.
Each of us should look at the signs that arc so clear if we are willing to see them. Do not let someone keep making excuse after excuse, ff something feels wrong—likely it is. It is good to know the truth and be able to deal with it. Next time I will pay more attention. I may never be able to trust someone online again.
