第一篇
The Hammersmith Hospital in West London, home of the Royal Post-graduate Medical School has been the scene(发生地点) of many innovations in medicine. It is now home(中心地,根据地) to the most expensive and ambitious medical technology project ever in Britain, which this year will make the Hammersmith the world's first fully digital hospital. The paper-free office brought about by computerization and modern information technology is familiar to(为……所熟悉) many office workers today. It has taken longer for the same technology to be applied to medical imaging(医学影像学), because of the immense computing power and high cost o the equipment required.
But now the Hammersmith is becoming the first hospital in which all imaging data-- X-rays, ultrasonic ,CT and MRI images--are stored not on cumbersome, inflammable films but as digital data on optical discs. The first consequence of this can be seen in the air-conditioned computer room in the new building, where two compact(坚实的,结实的) cabinets each about as tall as a man and 0.6m wide are ready to store every X-ray and scan made at the Hammersmith in the next 16 years on optical discs(光盘).
Space saving is the most obvious but not the most important advantage of the digital h6spital. A consultant conducting a clinic with a workstation linked by fibre optics(光纤) to the data store has no need of cumbersome trolleys loaded with patients' X-rays. The new technology considerably reduces the exposure to ionizing (电离的) radiation needed to get pictures doctors need, corresponding to reducing the slight but inevitable health risk that come with repeated X-rays.
X-rays record their images on fluorescent(荧光的) plates, lasers read off and store the data and the plates are wiped clean to use again. This requires less radiation than conventional(常规的) imaging. The ability to enhance imaging also reduces the need for extra exposures.
Another advantage is that any stored image can be sent to any of the hospital's 138 workstations in four seconds(soon that will come down(降落) to two seconds). Soon it will be possible to send it direct to other hospitals, or to computer screens in GP's(全科医生) clinics.
PACS(图像存档通讯系统) is the most expensive single medical technology project ever funded in UK. Most of the money has come from the Department of Health, which has realized that it will benefit patients at the Hammersmith Hospital and those referred from elsewhere, in terms of(按照) better, quicker and safer diagnosis and treatment.
Another technique uses radio a belled(用放射性同位素示踪的) white blood cells to guide doctors to the sites of hidden abscesses(脓肿) or other trouble spots.
In the most innovative technique of all, interventional(干预的,介入的) radiology, doctors use tiny instruments at the ends of fine catheters(导管), inserted deep into the body under local anaesthetic, to perform. a growing amount of microsurgery, viewed by surgeons—and patients if appropriate—in extremely clear detail. Every scrap(碎片,段) of unwanted image is electronically edited off the screen by the computer.
The Hammersmith Hospital is also pioneering interventional radiography, in which doctor carry out microsurgery at the same time as they image the patients' organs in minute detail. The blocking or unblocking of arteries to prevent damage due to bleeding or thrombosis(血栓形成) is among the conditions now being treated in this way.

Did you know that London is one of the most multicultural cities in the world？ Here, there are about 300 different cultures living side by side. Forget tea and sandwiches, now it is more common for a Londoner to drink cappuccino for breakfast, and eat Thai food for lunch in the local pub. Let’s see how life has changed in Britain’s capital.
A India
Most people from India arrived in London in the 1950s and 60s. Now there is a strong Asian presence here – in the shops, markets and, of course, the restaurants. In fact, curry is Britain’s favorite takeaway meal. A typical family has a curry every two weeks, either delivered or bought ready-made from the supermarket. Indian people live all over London. Southall, in the far west of the city, is one of many places well known for its Indian culture.
B Poland
This community represents more than 1% of the UK’s total population and is growing rapidly. In London, many Polish people live in the Hammersmith area, in the west of the city. Here, there are several Catholic churches, and delicatessens which sell the country’s specialities such as beetroot soup (barszcz) or Polish cakes and snacks. Were they right to come？ Young Poles say they can easily earn three times as much money here as at home, where unemployment remains high.
C West Africa
West Africans – mainly from Ghana and Nigeria – have brought a wealth of languages, music and culture to the British capital. Many London markets sell their traditional foods like yams and different types of rice. A lot of Nigerians live in the south-east London area, in suburbs like Deptford.
1、When did most people from India arrive in London？

B、Unemployment remains high in the UK.
C、They are growing rapidly.
5、What kind of traditional West Africa foods do markets sell？
A、Ghana and Nigeria.
B、Languages，music and culture.
C、Yams and different types of rice.
听力原文： In 1977, a baby girl became seriously ill in Qatar, near Saudi Arabia. Doctors were unable to diagnose the cause of her illness with confidence, so she was flown to London and admitted to Hammersmith Hospital, where specialists help was available. She was then only semi-conscious and on the "Dangerously Ill" list. A team of doctors hurried to examine the baby only to discover that they too, were baffled by the very unusual symptoms. While they were discussing the baby's ease, a nurse asked to speak to them.
"Excuse me," said Nurse Marsha Maitland, "but I think the baby is suffering from thallium (铊) poisoning."
"What makes you think that？" Dr. Brown said. "Thallium poisoning is extremely rare."
"A few days ago, I was reading a novel called A Pale Horse by Agatha Christie," Nurse Maitland explained. "In this book, somebedy uses thallium poison, and all the symptoms are described. They're exactly the same as the baby's."
"You're very observant and you may be right," another doctor said. "We'll carry out some tests and find out whether it's thallium or not."
The tests showed that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium, a rare metallic substance used in making optical glass. Once they knew the cause of the illness, the doctors were able to give the baby the correct treatment. She soon recovered and was sent back to Qatar.
(23)
A．She was a British girl whose parents were working in Qatar.
B．The hospitals in Qatar were full at that time.
C．She was the daughter of a doctor in one of the places.
D．The Qatar doctors were not sure they could cure her.
A family doctor charged the Night Home Service (NHS) more than ￡ 500,000 in seven years for night visits that his patients did not need, a General Medical Council disciplinary hearing was told yesterday.
Jagdeep Gossain charged for up to 540 emergency call-outs a month, increasing his annual salary to close to ￡200,000 a year and using almost a third of the local health authority's out-of-hours GP budget.
Dr Gossain, 46, had a target list of about 100 patients in his practice at Fulham, southwest London, whom he used repeatedly on claim forms to Ealing, Hammersmith and Hounslow Health Authority.
Nearly all emergency visits conducted by the doctor, who often made up to 40 calls a night, were "clinically inappropriate". He had also duped the GMC into postponing his hearing, before the professional conduct committee, four times by claiming that his bad back made him unfit to attend, Sarah Plaschkes, for the GMC, said.
But that injury had not prevented him enjoying his favourite sport — weightlifting — at an exclusive gym in Heston.
Ms Plaschkes added: "The council submits that Dr Gossain deliberately, dishonestly deceived this professional body by pretending he was too ill to attend the heating when, in fact, he was at a leisure centre."
Between May 1990 and April 1998 he claimed an "inordinate and extraordinary number" of night visits, she said. The average GP makes 50 emergency night calls a year. In September 1997 alone Dr Gossain put in 542 claims.
Ms Plaschkes alleged that it was unjustifiable reward in the sum of about ￡500,000 from the public purse. Dr Gossain's claims escalated over the years. In 1991 he claimed￡1,000; by 1995 the sum had risen to more than ￡75,000, peaking in 1996 at almost￡160,000. Over the seven-year period he allegedly fleeced the NHS of ￡514,593.
In 1998 he claimed ~ 124,591, when the average GP in his health authority claimed￡670. Dr Gossain is accused of doing so many night visits that he "could not have provided adequate care and attention" for the patients he visited. It is also said that his ability to provide competent daytime services "was compromised".
Dr Gossain denies serious professional misconduct but, if found guilty, could be struck off the medical register.
A BBC Panorama investigation found that his three children went to private school and he drove a Mercedes with private number plates. His wife, Shashi, a pharmacist, has said that his only crime was to have been a workaholic. The hearing continues.
For what was the doctor in the passage charged？
A．For his incompetence.
B．For his unnecessary services to the patients.
C．For unusually large number of night visits.
D．All the above.
