［参考译文］
研究者们最近发现治疗人类突发性疾病的药对于延长人类的寿命也有帮助。研究者们对蛔虫使用了这种药，结果发现蛔虫的寿命增加了50%。使用蛔虫作为研究对象是非常有意义的，因为蛔虫在很多重要方面与人类都颇为相似，尤其是在基因和蛋白质的构成方面。研究中使用的药物已经在人类的实际生活中被使用过了，特别是抗癫痫药。这种药同样也会增加蛔虫的神经肌肉活动，研究者们认为这种活动与延缓衰老同样有着某种联系。
41. ［答案］E
［解析］空前文字提出了文章的主题，也就是概括性地介绍了文章的内容：“一项研究表明治疗人类突发性疾病的药物能延缓虫子的衰老，由于人类的分子结构与虫子相似，所以有可能这种药物也能延缓人类的衰老”。只有选项E继续概括性地介绍了文章的内容：“这项研究同样也表明神经肌肉活动与衰老有关系”。
42. ［答案］F
［解析］空前文字概括介绍了Evason的实验，只有选项F非常清楚地描述了实验对象，并说明为什么使用这个实验对象的原因。这实际上都是介绍实验的一部分。
43. ［答案］B
［解析］空前文字一直提到实验的进程和结果，选项B进一步提到了这次实验的结果。同现原则，这一空的正确选项应该是B。
44. ［答案］A
［解析］空前文字提到：“有理由相信这种实验结论对更高级的动物，如人类，也同样适用”。所以这一空应该继续谈到实验结果对人类究竟是不是适用的问题。选项A提到：“但是科学家们目前还不知道究竟对人类是不是适用，除非也在人类身上做相同的实验”。显然，选项A最合适。
45. ［答案］D
［解析］空前文字提到了另一个问题：神经肌肉活动与延缓衰老的问题；只有选项D继续提到了这个问题，所以选D。
选项C：该选项指出：“蛔虫实际上并不是理想的实验对象，因为蛔虫不是人类，尽管两者分子结构相同。”显然，这个选项与原文主旨完全背离。连实验对象都是错误的话，文章的结论就更加不可能是正确的。这个选项应该排除。
选项G：该选项指出：“这种药物已经用于延缓人类衰老了，虽然还需要更多的证据来证明这种药物真的会起作用”。这种论点显然是不对的；没有做过实验怎么能够就冒然使用呢？而且与文中提到的“目前还没有在人类身上做实验”这一点完全相左。这个选项也是明显的干扰选项。

上周日，中国中央银行行长周小川表示，如果有必要，中国将考虑扩大人民币的交易区间。
周小川在南非开普敦召开的20国集团会议上说，调整人民币浮动汇率区间决定于世界经济形势，而且这也不是国家增强货币弹性的唯一工具。
五月，中国人民币对美元汇率的日波幅从±0. 3%扩大到±0. 5%。
然而，市场观察家认为，各商业性银行服从中央银行的命令将从下周起加强外汇储备。这将影响市场对美元的需求，在未来一段时间内缓和人民币对美元汇率的升值速度。

Dear Sir:
I read with interest your advertisement in the Communications of the A.C.M for the position of Director of the new Computer-Aided Learning Center being set up by Ray Conwell Co., Inc. RCC has a reputation for producing high-quality products such as the Mandolin Network System. I am interested in joining such a professional organization。
As you can see from the enclosed resume, my previous work has included supervision of software product development as well as extensive work in computer-aided learning. Although my educational training concentrated on theoretical computer science, my current interests lie more in applications of computer science principles to produce viable products。
My years of studying and teaching in the university setting have given me a good knowledge of pedagogical process. I look forward to the opportunity to apply this in the development of a state-of-the-art CAL system. My previous experience in systems design work makes me confident that I could make a valuable contribution to Ray Conwell Co., Inc。
I am looking forward to your reply。
Sincerely Yours,
Merwin. D. Kresh

From the pie chart we see health care expenditures in U.S.A in 1999, which consists of seven parts: hospital care, physician service, program administration and insurance costs, nursing care, dental service, drug and medical expenses and others。
As we may see from this chart, hospital care takes the greatest portion of the whole health care expenditures, accounting for 40% of the total sum. Physician services ranks the second, closely following hospital care, taking up 20% (＄110 billion) of the total sum of ＄550 billion. The other expenditures include nursing care, dental service, drug and medical expenses, program Administration and insurance costs, and other expenditures。
This chart shows clearly the Americans, just like people elsewhere in the world, take more attention to the welfare directly concerning their health: they spend a major part (60%) of their health care expenditures on hospital care and physician services. Nursing care ranks the third, preceding drug and medical expenses, which seems to be different from what exist in most third word countries, for example, in China, where drug and medical expenses account for a major part of the total health care expenditures. In my opinion, the labor force is much more expensive in the U.S. than in the third world countries, and that is why nursing care costs more than quite a few items do. (220 words)
