84.B. Governments require sellers of new medicines to demonstrate their safety

and effectiveness. The accepted gold standard of evidence is a randomized
control trial, in which a new drug is compared with their best existing therapy (or
with a placebo, if no treatment is available). Patients are assigned to one arm or
the other of such a study at random, ensuring that the only difference between
the two groups is the new treatment. The best studies also ensure that neither
patient nor physician knows which patient is allocated to which therapy. Drug
trials must also include enough patients to make it unlikely that chance alone
may determine the result.

85.C. But few education programs or social initiatives are evaluated in carefully
conducted studies prior to their introduction. A case in point is the “whole-
language” approach to reading, which swept much of the English speaking world
in the 1970s and 1980s. The whole-language theory holds that children learn to
read best by absorbing contextual clues from texts, not by breaking individual
words into their component parts and reassembling them (a method known as
phonics). Unfortunately, the educational theorists who pushed the whole-
language notion so successfully did not wait for evidence from controlled
randomized trials before advancing their claims. Had they done so, they might
have concluded, as did an analysis of randomized studies carried outby the US
National Reading Panel in 2000, that effective reading instruction requires
phonics.
86.D. To avoid the widespread adoption of misguided ideas, the sensible thing is
to experiment first and make policy later. This is the idea behind a trial of
restorative justice which is taking place in the English courts. The experiment will
include criminals who plead guilty to robbery. Those who agree to participate will
be assigned randomly either to sentencing as normal or to participation in a
conference in which the offender comes face to face with his victim and discusses
how he may make emotional and material restitution. The purpose of the trial is
to assess whether such restorative justice limits reoffending. If it does, it might be
adopted more widely.

87.E. The idea of experimental evidence is not quite new to the social science as
sneering natural scientists might believe. In fact, randomized trials and systematic
reviews of evidence were introduced into the social sciences long before they
became common in medicine. An apparent example of random allocation is a
study carried out in 1927 of how to persuade people to vote in elections. And
randomized trials in social work were begun in the1930s and 1940s. But
enthusiasm later waned. This loss of interest can be attributed, at least in part, to
the fact that early experiments produced little evidence of positive outcomes.
Others suggest that much of the opposition to experimental evaluation stems
from a common philosophical malaise among social scientists, who doubt the
validity of the natural sciences, and therefore reject the potential of knowledge
derived from controlled experiments. A more pragmatic factor limiting the
growth of evidence-based education and social services may be limitations on
the funds available for research.

88.F. Nevertheless, some 11,000 experimental studies are known in the social
sciences (compared with over 250,000 in the medical literature). Randomized
trials have been used to evaluate the effectiveness of driver-education programs,
job-training schemes, classroom size, psychological counseling for post traumatic
stress disorder and increase investment in public housing. And where they are
carried out, they seem to have a healthy dampening effect on otherwise rosy
interpretations of the observations.

89.Read the following passage then choose the best answer for each question. 

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation.
Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning
to night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and
body.
Stress is natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is
not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to
provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of
control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the
individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are
obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the
first signs of unusual difficulties. When, exposed to stress, in whatever form, we
react both chemically and physically. In fact, we make a choice between “flight
and fight” and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between
life and death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme. But
however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a
reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes
endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases
have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it
would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.

90.People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because
___________.
they do not know how to enjoy themselves
they do not believe that relaxation is important for health
they are traveling fast all the time
they are becoming busier with their work

91.According to the author, the most important character for a good manageris
his ___________.
not fearing stress
knowing the art of relaxation
high sense of responsibility
having control over performance

92.Which of the following statements is true?

We can find some ways to avoid stress
 Stress is always detrimental to people
It is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work
Different people can withstand different amount of stress

93.The phrase “such a reaction” in the passage refers to ___________.

making a choice between “flight and fight”
reaction to crises both chemically and physically
responding to crises quickly
losing heart at the signs of difficulties

94.In the last sentence of the passage, the phrase “do so” mostly means
___________.
expose ourselves to stress
find ways to deal with stress
remove stress from our lives
establish links between diseases and stress

95.Read the following passage then choose the best answer for each question. 

The New York Times is a daily newspaper published in New York City. Fora long
time, it has been the newspaper of record in the United States and oneof the
world’s great newspapers. Its strength is in its editorial excellence;it has never
been the largest newspaper in terms of circulation.
The Times was established in1851 as a penny paper whose editors wanted to
report the news in a restrained and objective fashion. It enjoyed early success as
its editors set a pattern for the future by appealing to a cultured, intellectual
readerships instead of a mass audience. However, in the late nineteenth century,
it came into competition with more popular, colorful, if not lurid, newspapers in
New York City. Their publishers ran sensational stories, not because they were
true, but because they sold newspaper. Despite price increases, the Times was
losing £1,000 a week when Adolph Simon Ochs bought it in 1896.
Ochs built the Times into an internationally respected daily. He hired Carr Van
Anda as editor. Van Anda placed greater stress than ever on full reporting of the
news of the day, and his reporters maintained and emphasized existing good
coverage of international news. The management of the paper decided to
eliminate fiction from the paper, added a Sunday magazine section, and reduced
the paper’s price back to a penny. In April 1912, the paper took many risks to
report every aspect of the sinking of the Titanic. This greatly enhanced its
prestige, and in its coverage of two world wars, the Times continued to enhance
its reputation for excellence in world news.
In 1971, the Times was given a copy of the so-called “Pentagon Papers,” a secret
government study of U.Sinvolvement in the Vietnam War. When it published the
report, it became involved in several lawsuits. The U.S. Supreme Court found that
the publication was protected by the freedom of the press clause in the First
Amendment of the U.S Constitution. Later in the 1970s, the paper, under Adolph
Ochs’s grandson, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, introduced sweeping changes in the
organization of the newspaper and its staff and brought out a national edition
transmitted by satellite to regional printing plants.

96.What is the main idea of the passage?

The New York Times publishes the best fiction by American writers.
The New York Times became highly respected throughout the world
The New York Times broadcasts its news to TV stations via satellite.
The New York Times lost its prestige after the Vietnam War.

97.It can be inferred from the passage that the circulation of the Times is
___________.
not the largest in the world
not the best in the world
the smallest in the world
the worst in the world

98.Which phrase is closet in meaning to the word “restrained” in paragraph 2?

106.Read the following passage then choose the best answer for each question. 

Hepatitis C is an illness, unknown until recently, that has been discovered in many
individuals. It has been called an epidemic, yet unlike most illnesses with that
designation, it is not easily transmitted. It is accurately referred to as epidemic in
that so many people have been discovered with the illness, but itis different in
that these people have actually carried the virus for many years. It is only
transmitted by direct blood-to-blood contact; casual contact and even sexual
contact are not believed to transmit the illness. Hepatitis means an inflammation
or infection of the liver. Hepatitis C is generally chronic, as oppose to acute. This
means that it continues to affect the patient and is not known to have a sudden
onset or recovery.
The great majority of people infected with the illness either had a blood
transfusion before the time that the disease was recognized in donated blood, or
experimented with injecting illegal drugs when they were young. Many victims
are educated, financially successful males between the ages of 40 and 50 who
experimented with intravenous drugs as teenagers. There are frequently no
symptoms, so the illness is discovered through routine blood tests. Most
commonly, people learn they have the illness when they apply for life insurance
or donate blood. The blood test reveals elevated liver enzymes, which could be
caused by any form of hepatitis, by abuse of alcohol, or by other causes. Another
test is then performed, and the result is learned. Because the illness produces no
symptoms, it of itself does not affect the victim’s life, at least at first. But the
constant infection in the liver can eventually lead to cirrhosis of the liver, which is
scarring and death of portions of the liver. The cirrhosis in turn can lead to liver
cancer and, ultimately, death. Severe cases can be reversed with a liver transplant.
Yet, because the virus may exist in the body for more than 20 years before being
discovered, after reviewing the condition of the liver, doctors often suggest
waiting and periodically checking the condition rather than performing radical
treatment procedures. The liver’s condition is determined by a biopsy, in which a
device is inserted into the liver and its condition is viewed. If there is little or no
cirrhosis, it is more likely that treatment will be postponed. Treatment frequently
causes more discomfort than the illness itself. It consists of some form of
chemotherapy. Currently, the most frequent treatment is a combination therapy,
with one drug injected three times a week and another taken orally, costing
hundreds of dollars a week. The therapy causes the patient to have symptoms
similar to influenza, and some patients suffer more than others. Unfortunately,
many patients do not respond, or do not respond completely to the therapy.
There is no alternative therapy at this time for non-responders, although
researchers are continually trying to find a cure.
