回答题:
What's Lacking in "Sicko" ?
When it comes to economic decisions, there are always trade offs ( 取舍 ). Gain one thing and you lose something else. 46
The central argument of Michael Moore's movie "Sicko" -that the cure to the nation health care problems is a single-payer system-is hardly novel and is certainly worth consideration, whether or not you agree with it. But in comparing the American system with single-payer plans of other countries-Britain, France, Canada and Cuba Mr. Moore left out the trade-offs, characterizing those countries as health care paradises. 47 Kurt Loder, the film critic who is best known as the anchor ( 主持人 ) of "MTV News" , wrote a critique (批评 ) of the film for MTV's website. " Sicko," he said, "does a real service" in portraying ( 描绘 ) victims of American insurance companies'-like the people, who died because their only treatment options were considered "experimental" and therefore not covered. 48
When "governments attempt to regulate the balance between a limited supply of health care and an unlimited demand for it, they're inevitably forced to ration treatment" . Mr. Loder asserted. 49 Mr. Loder cited the short film "Dead Meat" , which presents anecdotes ( 轶事 ) of failure. In the Canadian single-payer system in its one-sidedness, "Dead Meat" , might have made for a nice double feature with "Sicko", and left movie-goers with a more complete understanding of the complications of deciding on a health care system ,50
This all makes an otherwise "emotionally compelling film not necessarily an intellectually satisfying one, "wrote Darren Barefoot, a Canadian blogger. ( 博客作者 ).
A.This is particularly true in health care, a market in which scarce (稀罕的 ) good are ridiculously expensive, but needed by everybody.
B.Mr. Moore also decided to ignore problems in other countries, like France's high taxes and Britain's cash-short hospitals.
C.But the film as a whole, he concluded, is "breathtakingly meretricious ( 似是而非的 ), " in large part because of its characterizations of other countries 'health care systems.
D.The problems have been noticed-and criticism is coming not just from Mr. Moore's detractors ( 诋毁者).
E.He ticked off a number of negative statistics to counter the positive ones offered by Mr. Moore.
F.Health care is the prevention, treatment, and management of illness.

7、 根据材料回答题:
Compact Disks
If someone says to you your music CDs don't really hold any music on them, and they only have numbers recorded on them, you may not believe it. In fact, he is right in that sound is actually recorded onto the CDs as special numbers-a digital code. The code is pressed onto the CD as bumps(隆起 ) on a long spiral track almost five kilometers long. These bumps are an average of 0.5 microns( 微米) wide.
A small laser beam shines onto the bumps as the CD turns. The light is reflected back to a receiver that records how the laser light bounces back. This lets the CD player turn the reflected light back into the original code. This means you can hear the original code as music.
Digital codes are used with many technologies. E-mail needs these kinds of code numbers. Space probes( 探测仪) communicate with their ground station on earth using digital codes. Bar codes are read as digital-codes in computer systems. Digital communications with cell phones need digital codes. Weather radios also tune into specific signals using these codes.
There are many types of compact disks. One format is called CD-RWs. They can be recorded on and re- recorded on(rewritten on)as you would do with a floppy disk. Another format is the CD-ROM, The technology for recording on these disks is different from other CDs. These CDs have a dye layer that the CD writer can darken or leave clear. The clear and dark spots are the digital code. CD-ROM stands for Compact Disc-Read Only Memory. This disk is like a "super" floppy disk that can hold lots of information. One CD-ROM can hold the same amount of data as 500 floppy disks. Information is permanently recorded onto it. Computer games and other programs are considered to be CD-ROMs.
CDs were first sold to the public in 1982. These CDs still play well and sound fine. Current CDs are expected to last between 70 to 200 years. Of course, you can make sure your CDs last a long time by taking care of them.
Science keeps on developing. It may not be many more years before a completely new technology is invented and introduced to the public for music recording. In the meantime, there is no doubt you will continue to enjoy listening to your favorite music on CDs and playing your favorite computer games on CD-ROMs.
