Task 2
Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.
If you own a car, you are probably considering buying some kind of car insurance (保险). However, when you are actually purchasing car insurance, it can be difficult for you to decide which is your best choice. The ideal buying process is to first research and decide, then purchase. Research first
Before buying car insurance, you should find out the purpose of your purchase and how the insurance meets your needs.
Decide on suitable Car Insurance Policies (保单)
A neglected part of car insurance is the part which covers medical bills. Medical payments can add up very quickly in an accident situation, and the insurance should cover the bills incurred(招致) both by you and by the passengers in your car. Make sure you know the full value that your insurance covers.
Purchase the best Car Insurance for your needs
You have a number of choices when it comes to the actual purchase of the car insurance. Each has advantages and disadvantages, and these may be influenced by your individual taste and previous buying experience. Insurance companies may offer you goodadvice, but prices on the Internet are often better.
According to the first paragraph, when buying car insurance, one should first______.
A．decide on the number of policies to purchase
B．do careful research on the different choices
C．choose the best insurance company
D．look for the lowest insurance rate
第3题
The Human Tissue Authority’s position on the retention of body parts for medical research after a post-mortem examination is equally flawed. The new consent forms could have been drafted by some evil person seeking to stop the precious flow of human tissue into the pathological laboratory. The forms are so lengthy that doctors rarely have time to complete them and, even if they try, the wording is so graphic that relatives tend to leg it before signing. In consequence, the number of post mortems has fallen quickly.
The wider worry is that the moral shortsightedness evident in the Human Tissue Act seems to infect every facet of the contemporary debate on medical ethics. Take the timid approach to embryonic stem cell research. The United States, for example, refuses government funding to scientists who wish to carry out potentially ground-breaking research on the surplus embryos created by IVF treatment.
Senators profess to be worried that embryonic research fails to respect the dignity of “potential persons”. Rarely can such a vacuous concept have found its way into a debate claming to provide enlightenment. When is this “potential” supposed to kick in？ In case you were wondering, these supposedly precious embryos are at the same stage of development as those that are routinely terminated by the Pill without anyone crying. Thankfully, the British Government has refused the position of the United States and operates one of the most liberal regimes in Europe, in which licences have been awarded to researchers to create embryos for medical research. It is possible that, in years to come, scientists will be able to grow organs in the lab and find cures for a range of debilitating diseases.
The fundamental problem with our approach to ethics is our inability to separate emotion from policy. The only factor that should enter our moral and legal deliberations is that of welfare, a concept that is meaningless when applied to entities that lack self-consciousness. Never forget that the research that we are so reluctant to conduct upon embryos and dead bodies is routinely carried out on living, pain-sensitive animals.

(a) Explain the purpose of a value for money audit. (4 marks)
(b) Bluesberry hospital is located in a country where healthcare is free, as the taxpayers fund the hospitals which are owned by the government. Two years ago management reviewed all aspects of hospital operations and instigated a number of measures aimed at improving overall ‘value for money’ for the local community. Management have asked that you, an audit manager in the hospital’s internal audit department, perform. a review over the measures which have been implemented.
Bluesberry has one centralised buying department and all purchase requisition forms for medical supplies must be forwarded here. Upon receipt the buying team will research the lowest price from suppliers and a purchase order is raised. This is then passed to the purchasing director, who authorises all orders. The small buying team receive in excess of 200 forms a day.
The human resources department has had difficulties with recruiting suitably trained staff. Overtime rates have been increased to incentivise permanent staff to fill staffing gaps, this has been popular, and reliance on expensive temporary staff has been reduced. Monitoring of staff hours had been difficult but the hospital has implemented time card clocking in and out procedures and these hours are used for overtime payments as well.
The hospital has invested heavily in new surgical equipment, which although very expensive, has meant that more operations could be performed and patient recovery rates are faster. However, currently there is a shortage of appropriately trained medical staff. A capital expenditure committee has been established, made up of senior managers, and they plan and authorise any significant capital expenditure items.
Required:
(i) Identify and explain FOUR STRENGTHS within Bluesberry’s operating environment; and (6 marks)
(ii) For each strength identified, describe how Bluesberry might make further improvements to provide the best value for money. (4 marks)
(c) Describe TWO substantive procedures the external auditor of Bluesberry should adopt to verify EACH of the following assertions in relation to an entity’s property, plant and equipment;
(i) Valuation;
(ii) Completeness; and
(iii) Rights and obligations.
Note: Assume that the hospital adopts International Financial Reporting Standards. (6 marks)
第5题
Death is normal; we are genetically programmed to disintegrate and perish, even under ideal conditions. We all under stand that at some level, yet as medical consumers we treat death as a problem to be solved. Shielded by third-party payers from the cost of our care, we demand everything that can possibly be done for us, even if it's useless. The most obvious example is late-stage cancer care. Physicians—frustrated by their inability to cure the disease and fearing loss of hope in the patient—too often offer aggressive treatment far beyond what is scientifically justified.
In 1950, the U.S. spent $12.7 billion on health care. In 2002, the cost will be $1540 billion. Anyone can see this trend is unsustainable. Yet few seem willing to try to reverse it. Some scholars conclude that a government with finite re sources should simply stop paying for medical care that sustains life beyond a certain age—say 83 or so. Former Colorado governor Richard Lamm has been quoted as saying that the old and infirm "have a duty to die and get out of the way", so that younger, healthier people can realize their potential.
I would not go that far. Energetic people now routinely work through their 60s and beyond, and remain dazzlingly productive. At 78, Viacom chairman Stunner Redstone jokingly claims to be 53. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor is in her 70s, and former surgeon general C. Everett Koop chairs an Internet start-up in his 80s. These leaders are living proof that prevention works and that we can manage the health problems that come naturally with age. As a mere 68-year-old, I wish to age as productively as they have.
Yet there are limits to what a society can spend in this pursuit. Ask a physician, I know the most costly and dramatic measures may be ineffective and painful. I also know that people in Japan and Sweden, countries that spend far less on medical care, have achieved longer, healthier lives than we have. As a nation, we may be overfunding the quest for unlikely cures while underfunding research on humbler therapies that could improve people's lives.
What is implied in the first sentence？
A．Americans are better prepared for death than other people.
B．Americans enjoy a higher life quality than ever before.
C．Americans are over-confident of their medical technology.
D．Americans take a vain pride in their long life expectancy.

根据以下内容回答题：
Traditionally．universities have carried out two main activities：research and teaching．Many expels would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the communi-ty．The fundamental question，however，is how does the community want or need to be served？
In recent years universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both the govemments and the public to ensure that they do not remain…ivory towers”(象牙之塔)of study separated from the realities of everyday life．University teachers have been encouraged，and in some cases compelled，to provide more courses which produce graduates with the techni-cal skills required for the commercial use．If Aristotle wanted to work in university in the uk today，he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so rea．Dily employable as a philosopher．
A post．industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers，engineers，managers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but“man”，as the Bible says，“does not live by bread alone．”Apart from requiring medical and social services，which do not directly contribute to economic growth，the society should also value and enjoy litera-ture．music and the arts．In these cost-conscious times，it has even been pointed out in justifi-cation for the funding of the arts that they can be useful money earners．A successful musical play，for instance，can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other things．
We can know from the first paragraph that the author__________ ． 查看材料
A.believes traditional’universities have done a good job serving the community
B.believes it remains to be discussed how universities should meet the needs of society

Effects of Exercise on Elderly Diabetics(糖尿病人)
Most older people with S0—called type 2 diabetes(糖尿病)couldstop taking insulin(胰岛素)if they would do brisk(轻快的)exercise for 30minutes just three times a week，according to new medical research resultsreported in a Copenhagen newspaper．Results from tests conducted on diabeticsat the Copenhagen central hospital Rigshospitalet'S Center for Muscle Researchshowed that physical exercise can boost the body's ability to make use ofinsulin by 30 per cent．This is equal to the effect most elderly diabetics getfrom their insulin medication(药物治疗)today．
Researchers had a group of non-diabetic men and agroup of men with type 2 diabetes，all more than 60 years of age，exercise onbicycles six times a week for three months．After the three months the doctorsmeasured how much sugar the test subjects,muscles could make use of as ameasure for how well their insulin worked．
Associate Professor Dr Flemming Dela of the Muscle Research Center saidthe tests demonstrated that the exercising diabetics had made as good use of insulinas the healthy non．diabetic persons．“This means that the insulin works just aswell for both groups．Physical exercise cannot cure people of diabetes，but itcan eliminate almost all their symptoms．At the same time It can put off thepoint at which they have to begin taking insulin．”Dela said．
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas(胰腺)，controlling sugar inthe body and is used against diabetes．
Dela said that to achieve the desired effect diabetics need onlyexercise to the point where they begin to sweat。but that the activity has to bemaintained since it wears off after five days without sufficient exercise．
Most diabetics realize that they have to watch their diet whileremaining unaware of the importance of exercise。Dela added．
第 41 题 What is the effect of exercise on elderlypeople with type 2 diabetes？
A．It can help the body make betteruse of insulin
B．It can worsen their symptoms．
C．It can help them to eat more．
D．It can cure them of thedisease．
