听力原文： I knew it wouldn't be long before they discovered my escape from the boat house where they had locked me up, but now I had no choice except to go on. I stumbled up the path which rose steeply to the top of the cliff. Once there, I stopped for a moment to get my breath back, looking out as I did so across the sea. I could see the steamer which came across once a week from the mainland making its way towards the harbour. From where I stood, it looked like a toy or model someone had built. I began waving my arms in the air, then I removed my jacket and used that too to attract attention. But it all seemed hopeless as the steamer sailed steadily on towards the mouth of the harbour. I began to shout, in a last desperate attempt to stop her, and when my throat was quite dry, and my arms aching from the effort I had made, then at the last moment the miracle happened. The steamer began to slow up, and then to move in, away from the harbour and what awaited her there.

Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
No other country spends what we do per capita for medical care. The care available is among the best technically, even if used too lavishly and thus dangerously, but none of the countries that stand above us in health status have such a high proportion of medically disenfranchised (被剥夺了公发权利的 ) persons. Given thc evidence that medical care is not that valuable and access to care not that bad, it seems most unlikely that our bad showing is caused by the significant proportion who are poorly served. Other hypotheses have greater explanatory power: excessive poverty, both actual and relative, and excessive affluence.
Excessive poverty is probably more prevalent in the U.S. than in any of the countries that have a better infant mortality rate and female life expectancy at birth. This is probably true also for all but four or five of the countries with a longer male life expectancy. In the notably poor countries that exceed us in male survival, difficult living conditions are a more accepted way of life and in several of them, a good basic diet, basic medical care and basic education, and lifelong employment opportunities are an everyday fact of life. In the U.S. a national unemployment level of 10 percent may be 40 percent in the ghetto while less than 4 percent elsewhere. The countries that have surpassed us in health do not have such severe or entrenched problems. Nor are such a high proportion of their people involved in them.
Excessive affluence is not so obvious a cause of ill health, but, at least until recently, few other nations could afford such unhealthful ways of living. Excessive intake of animal protein and fats, dangerous intake of alcohol and use of tobacco and drugs (prescribed and proscribed), and dangerous recreational sports and driving habits are all possible only because of affluence. Our heritage, desires, opportunities, and our machismo (大男子气概), combined with the relatively low cost of bad foods and speedy vehicles, make us particularly vulnerable to our affluence. And those who are not affluent try harder. Our unacceptable health Status, then, will not be improved appreciably by expanded medical resources nor by their redistribution so much as by a general attempt to improve the quality of life for all.
