A significant number of people seek to adopt children from other countries, a process know

n as international adoption. People seek to adopt abroad for many reasons. Many people want to adopt an infant or a very young child. Some also hope to adopt children who share their ethnic heritage. Such prospective parents may find a shortage of suitable children available for adoption in the United States. Publicity regarding the availability of infants in a particular country also encourages some people to seek to adopt there. Many people adopt abroad because of anxieties regarding domestic adoptions, especially fears that the birth mother will refuse to proceed with an arranged adoption after she gives birth to the child. In a few, well-publicized cases in the United States, biological parents have attempted to reclaim their child years after it was adopted, adding to the worries of prospective parents.

Three methods can be used for international adoption. The majority of prospective adoptive parents use an adoption agency. Others consult adoption facilitators in the United States. Some prospective parents choose to establish direct communication with contacts in a particular country. Many state-licensed adoption agencies place children from other countries. These agencies are familiar with the adoption laws of foreign countries and usually maintain contacts in countries where many childtren are waiting to be adopted. Agencies send information about the adoptive parents directly to their contacts, who then locate an appropriate child for the adoptive parents.

Facilitators in the United States also help prospective parents locate suitable children abroad. Facilitators usually have foreign contacts who help resolve legal issues pertaining to adoption in a particular country. In some cases, facilitators travel to other countries and directly assist in adoptions. Prospective parents can also work with facilitators in another country or deal directly with foreign institutions, such as orphanages.

People who wish to adopt abroad must follow the procedures and requirements of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Before an international adoption can go forward, the results of a home study and extensive documentation must be submitted to both the INS and the courts in the child's country of origin. Required documentation usually includes birth certificates, marriage certificates, letters of employment, medical letters, and personal references.

The legal process in the child's country of origin results in either a full and final adoption or a guardianship, in which the prospective parent is granted custody of the child until the adoption is finalized. If a full and final adoption has been approved in the child's country of origin and the INS has permitted the child to enter the United States, parents can usually get U.S. birth certificates and citizenship papers without readopting the child in the United States.However, the U.S. State Department recommends readoption in the United States. When a guardianship is established in the child's country of origin, prospective parents must complete normal pre-adoption procedures, such as a home study, in their local county court in order to obtain a visa for the child. The adoption must be finalized when the child comes to live in the United States.

All adoptive parents worry about the health of their adopted children. In many developing nations and in some countries of Eastern Europe, poor medical treatment can lead to health problems among young children. Medical records may be unavailable or incomplete. Prospective parents should consult a physician regarding the health of the child they are seeking to adopt prior to the adoption. After a child has been adopted from abroad, parents should try to find a pediatrician who is familiar with the medical conditions in the country in which the child was born. Many local hospitals in the Uni

A.Many people want to adopt an infant or a very young child who share their ethnic heritage and they may find a shortage of suitable children available for adoption in the United States.

B.The public regard the parents can not give birth to the child so they seek to adopt abroad.

C.In a few, wealthy families in the United States, some parents have attempted to claim their abilities and conditions to adopt one or more child to ease the pressure of society.

D.There are children-sales agencies who provide enough children to the prospective parents.

听力原文: We all know what a significant number of obstacles the tourist industry had to face between 2001 and 2003. From military conflicts to SARS, passing through terrorism and a sluggish economic situation, all negative factors came together to damage tourism results. The impact was significant and rather global. For the first time since 1982, 2003 shows a drop in international tourist arrivals (-1.5%).

However, the period 2004 - 2005 was not much calmer. From the devastating Tsunami to the more recent hurricanes distressing the coasts of the US and Mexico, without forgetting several terrorist attacks and the surge in oil prices. The good news though was that world economy resisted in spite all, and grew by 5% in 2004 and is set to increase by 4% in 2005. And the other good news is that notwithstanding all these threats, world tourism showed again its resilience with such events having only a limited impact in terms of geographical and temporal spread.

International tourist arrivals grew in 2004 to an exceptional total of 763 million, which represents an overall increase of over 10%. This result was much due to the unprecedented recovery of tourism in Asia with a growth of 28% over the trouble year of SARS. Likewise international tourism receipts grew by 9% after dropping 3% the previous year, whereas in Asia this growth was of almost 25%.

And growth continues in 2005. According to the latest data published by WTO in the October issue of the WTO World Tourism Barometer, international tourist arrivals grew by almost 6% up to July, which represents an increase of 25 million arrivals worldwide. Such growth trend was particularly strong in Asia, where after an extraordinary 28% growth in 2004, arrivals were up by 9%, again above the world average and above the long term forecast growth of around 6% a year. 2005 is estimated to end with a growth in tourist arrivals of 5% to 6%, while estimates for Asia indicate a projected 10% increase, much driven by China's exceptional performance, where tourist arrivals grew by an extraordinary 14% until October.

Which of the following is not mentioned as an obstacle of the world tourism industry?

A.SARS.

B.Terrorism.

C.Inflation.

D.Sluggish economy.

The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals
may play a significant role in the process of recovery from illness. As part of a nation-wide effort in Britain to bring art out the galleries and into public places, some of the country's most talented artists have called in to transform. older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2 500 National health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have significant collections of contemporary art in corridors, waiting areas and treatment rooms.

These recent initiatives owe a great deal to one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in north-eastern England.

The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering form. an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view on to a garden needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at during the early 1970s. he felt the artist had lost his place in modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience.

A typical hospital waiting room might have as many as 5 000 visitors each week. What better place to hold regular exhibitions of art? Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the out-patients' waiting area of the Manchester royal Infirmary in 1975. Believed to be Britain's first hospital-artist, Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates.

The effect is striking. Instead of the familiar long, barren corridors and dull waiting rooms, the visitors experience a full view of fresh colours, playful images and restful courtyards.

Compared with the total number of Britain's National Health Service hospitals, the hospitals which have art collections is only ______.

A.4%

B.40%

C.25%

D.50%.

第11题

听力原文: The term "Artificial Languages" refers to those that have been artificially con
structed, each in the hope that it might eventually become a universal tongue. Although a number of such languages have been created, only one, Esperanto, has achieved a significant measure of international recognition.

The first attempt at an artificial language was Volapuk, which appeared at about 1880. Though difficult to learn and as a result short-lived, it did inspire others to attempt a better system. In 1887, L. L. Zamenhof, of Warsaw, Poland, introduced Esperanto, with its greatly simplified grammar and logically constructed vocabulary. Esperanto, meaning "one who hopes", soon developed a large following of dedicated speakers, and later a significant body of literature. Many of the world's literary masterpieces have been translated into Esperanto. Numerous attempts to improve or reform. it were in the end abandoned, and today it remains basically the same as designed by Zamenhof.

In the 20th century Occidental and Inter-lingual appeared, but these are designed primarily for scientific and technical use and stress reconcilability rather than active speech. The great advantage of artificial languages lies in their simplicity and the absence of irregular grammatical forms. However, they suffer from the lack of native speakers and national prestige, and in recent years interest in them has generally declined. The tremendous increase in the use and study of English since World War Ⅱ has led many to believe that English, rather than an artificial language, has the best chance of eventually becoming a universal tongue.

Why did the artificial languages appear?

A.To take the place of any other language.

B.To make it be a universal tongue eventually.

C.To show the man's wisdom.

D.To get significantly international recognition.
