His muscle and brawn supplied the power for all the exploration and trade, but in spite of the harshness of his life the privation suffering, and constant threat of death by exposure, drowning, and Indian attack they developed a nonchalance and joy in the wilderness that has never been equaled in mans conquest and exploitation of a new land. These exuberant french Canadian canoe men, with songs in the face of monotony and disaster, were the ones who stood out Their barely adequately contracts with the various fur companies proved that profit had little to do with their choice of work, that it must have been some thing else perhaps the lure of far places, the romance and adventure of a way of life they had never known before.

52. The reader can most safely conclude that an outstanding quality of the voyagers was their A imaginativeness D inventiveness 53. In the passage the author indicates that history can be unders tood by A reading the statements of voyagers of the people C reading about military men D trusting the word of a people C point out the disadvantages of village lie eg seems 4. One of the author s purpose in writing this passage seems to be to A defend the voyagers from unfair criticism B be obviously critical of the voyagers mot D describe the lifestyle of the voyagers Passage 2 As a growing number of Americans live to age 85 and beyond, will heal thy Americans be low age 65 support massive heal th care expenditures to keep alive the extremely ill or the very old?or will there be some attempt to ration(定量分配) expensive life saving technologies?For instance, more than 30 percent of medicare s money goes to patients with less than a year to live. Overall, 4 percent of Americans account for 55 percent of all hospital costs. The idea of rationing care is alien to most Americans. The British, however, have been living for a long time with a system that requires hard choices. For instance, up to the age of 45 or 50, the rate of kidney dialysis and transplant in Great Britain is nearly the same as in the United States. But only a mall number of patients over age 55 are placed on dialysis. There is no official age cutoff; instead, British doctors typically do not refer elderly people who are ill with other diseases, such as diabetes or heart trouble, to dialysis centers. Since funds for medical care are not infinite, will americans be confronted in the near future with a similar kind of moral dilemma?If the United States were to attempt to pare(il/b)medical expenses by rationing services, which of our central values would we have to modify?Consider the question: How much should we spend on our nation s health care?The next level of rationing would entail how we spend the money Do we invest in preventative and primary care or do we continue to emphasize curative medicine?The final level of rationing would be the individual level. Consider this situation raised by William Schwartz, a physician and professor of medicine: If we know that keeping someone alive for another few months at a cost of 100000 will mean that this money is not available for the care of several people with hip or heart disease, should we use the limited resource for maintaining a life of poor quality for a few months and deny care to others?

Since funds for medical care are not infinite,will Americans be confronted in the near future with a similar kind of moral dilemma?If the United States were to attempt to pare(减少)medical expenses by rationing services,which of our central values would we have to modify?Consider the problem on three levels.First,there is the macro level.At this level we would confront the question:How much should we spend on our nation's health care?The next level of rationing would entail how we spend the money:Do we invest in preventative and primary care or do we continue to emphasize curative medicine?The final level of rationing would be the individual level.Consider this situation raised by William Schwartz,a physician and professor of medicine:If we know that keeping someone alive for another few months at a cost of 100000 will mean that this money is not available for the care of several people with hip or heart disease,should we use the limited resource for maintaining a life of poor quality for a few months and deny care to others?
