Statuses are marvelous human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to determine where we fit in society. As we go about our everyday lives, we mentally attempt to place people in terms of their statuses. For example, we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian, whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman, whether the unfamiliar person on our property is a thief or a meter reader, and so on.

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
Just seven years ago, the Jarvik-7 artificial heart was being cheered as the model of human creativeness. The sight of Barney Clark - alive and conscious after trading his diseased heart for a metal-and-plastic pump - convinced the press, the public and many doctors that the future had arrived. It hadnt. After monitoring production of the Jarvik-7, and reviewing its effects on the 150 or so patients the U.S. Food and Drug Administration concluded that the machine was doing more to endanger lives than to save them. Last week the agency cancelled its earlier approval, effectively banning the device.
注:1.cheer 欢呼、喝彩
2.convince 使 相信
3.monitor 监视
4.review 回顾
5.the U.S. Food and Drug Administration 美国食物药品管理局简写FDA
成果型文章:
1.文章中只有一个成果,作者正评价
2.文中出现新、老两个成果,新成果正评,老成果负评,抓住正负评价原因
3.抓住新老成果各自技术特点
The recall may hurt Symbion Inc, maker of the Jarvik-7, but it wont end the request for an artificial heart. One problem with the banned model is that the tubes connecting it to an external power source created a passage for infection . Inventors are now working on new devices that would be fully placed, along with a tiny power pack, in the patients chest. The first sample products arent expected for another 10 or 20 years. But some people are already worrying that theyll work - and that Americas overextended health-care programs will lose a precious $2.5 billion to $5 billion a year providing them for a relatively few dying patients. If such expenditures cut into funding for more basic care, the net effect could actually be a decline in the nations health.
注:1.recall 取消,re 有 向后 含义
2.看到Symbion Inc.就把32题标在这里;看到new devices就把33题标在这里。
3.external 外部的,passage 通道
4.work 可行、有效,they 指代前文 the first sample product
5.providing 引导现在分词做状语
指代题做法:1.将代词所在句代词之前部分的名词以及代词之前句子的名词划出
