10、osing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)Passage 1Class informed everything from the circumstances of patients heart attacks to the emergency care each received, the households they returned to and the jobs they hoped to resume. It shaped their understanding of their illne

11、ss, the support they got from their families, their relationships with their doctors. It helped define their ability to change their lives and shaped their odds of getting better.Class is a potent force in health and longevity in the United States. The more education and income people have, the less

12、 likely they are to have and die of heart disease, strokes, diabetes and many types of cancer. Upper-middle-class Americans live longer and in better health than middle-class Americans, who live longer and better than those at the bottom. And the gaps are widening, say people who have researched soc

13、ial factors in health.As advances in medicine and disease prevention have increased life expectancy in the United States, the benefits have disproportionately gone to people with education, money, good jobs and connections. They are almost invariably in the best position to learn new information ear

14、ly, modify their behavior, take advantage of the latest treatments and have the cost covered by insurance.Many risk factors for chronic diseases are now more common among the less educated than the better educated. Smoking has dropped sharply among the better educated, but not among the less. Physic

15、al inactivity is more than twice as common among high school dropouts as among college graduates. Lower-income women are more likely than other women to be overweight, though the pattern among men may be the opposite.There may also be subtler differences. Some researchers now believe that the stress

16、 involved in so-called high-demand, low-control jobs further down the occupational scale is more harmful than the stress of professional jobs that come with greater autonomy and control. Others are studying the health impact of job insecurity, lack of support on the job, and employment that makes it

17、 difficult to balance work and family obligations.Then there is the issue of social networks and support, the differences in the knowledge, time and attention that a persons family and friends are in a position to offer. What is the effect of social isolation? Neighborhood differences have also been

18、 studied: How stressful is a neighborhood? Are there safe places to exercise? What are the health effects of discrimination?In the last 20 years, there have been enormous advances in rescuing patients with heart attack and in knowledge about how to prevent heart attack, said Ichiro Kawachi, a profes

19、sor of social epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health. Its like diffusion of innovation: whenever innovation comes along, the well-to-do are much quicker at adopting it. On the lower end, various disadvantages have piled onto the poor. Diet has gotten worse. Theres a lot more work stress

20、. People have less time, if theyre poor, to devote to health maintenance behaviors when they are juggling two jobs. Morality rates even among the poor are coming down, but the rate is not anywhere near as fast as for the well-to-do. So the gap has increased.1.Which of the following is probably not c

25、p between different classesPassage 2In studying both the recurrence of special habits or ideas in several districts, and their prevalence within each district, there come before us ever-reiterated proofs of regular causation producing the phenomena of human life, and of laws of maintenance and diffu

26、sion conditions of society, at definite stages of culture. But, while giving full importance to the evidence bearing on these standard conditions of society, let us be careful to avoid a pitfall which may entrap the unwary student. Of course, the opinions and habits belonging in common to masses of

27、mankind are to a great extent the results of sound judgment and practical wisdom. But to a great extent it is not so.That many numerous societies of men should have believed in the influence of the evil eye and the existence of a firmament, should have sacrificed slaves and goods to the ghosts of th

28、e departed, should have handed down traditions of giants slaying monsters and men turning into beasts-all this is ground for holding that such ideas were indeed produced in mens minds by efficient causes, but it is not ground for holding that the rites in question are profitable, the beliefs sound,

29、and the history authentic. This may seem at the first glance a truism, but, in fact, it is the denial of a fallacy which deeply affects the minds of all but a small critical minority of mankind. Popularly, what everybody says must be true, what everybody does must be right.There are various topics,

30、especially in history, law, philosophy, and theology, where even the educated people we live among can hardly be brought to see that the cause why men do hold an opinion, or practise a custom, is by no means necessarily a reason why they ought to do so. Now collections of ethnographic evidence, brin

31、ging so prominently into view the agreement of immense multitudes of men as to certain traditions, beliefs, and usages, are peculiarly liable to be thus improperly used in direct defense of these institutions themselves, even old barbaric nations being polled to maintain their opinions against what are called modern ideas.As it has more than once happened to myself to find my collections of traditions and beliefs thus set up to prove their own objective truth, without proper examination of the grounds on which they were actually received, I take this occasion of remarking that the sam
