His father was a dentist and as a result Tim had the opportunity of meeting many doctors either at home or elsewhere. When he was fourteen he was already hanging around the clinic of a local doctor 26 he was supposed to be helping to wrap up medicine bottles, but was actually trying 27 (listen) to the conversations 28 (take place) between the doctor and his patients in the next room.During the war Tim served in the Navy as a surgeon（外科医生）.“That was the happiest time of my life. I was dealing with very real suffering and 29 the whole making a success of it .”In California he taught the country people simple facts about medicine. He saw himself as a life-saver. He 30 (prove) his skills to himself and his ability to take decisions. Thus, while he was able to tell them what to do, he could feel he was serving them. After the war, he got married and chose to be a doctor in the countryside, working under an old doctor who was popular in the area, 31 who hated the sight of blood and believed that the secret of medicine was faith. This gave the younger man many opportunities to go on 32 (work) working as a life ?saver.(B)An American novelist Jonathan Franzen tells readers that he appreciated real, printed newspapers more “as the Internet rose to power, disseminating information that could be trusted as little as it cost to read it.”That’s 33 turn of phrase that we could apply to the discussion of Internet rumors(谣言)and their impact: this kind of information can 34 (trust) as little as it costs to read it.

So 36 do we tell the real from the false? 　　Like anything, it takes practice at asking questions and, above all, paying attention to details 37 (give) already. Who is the author? Do you know a real name or just a username(用户名)?Why 38 you trust this person? Does he or she provide some credentials (证明)? There are big differences in the domains, and it is important to understand 39 .　　It was 40 (easy) to tell a trustworthy source in the days before the Internet. Then, we all knew which newspapers had the highest standards and which ones were more for sensation and entertainment than for real news and commentary.Section B(9%)Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.
