试题
When it comes to health, the poor are doubly cursed. Not only are they more prone to deadly infectious diseases than the rich, but they have far less access to the means of improvement. Twenty years ago, Paul Farmer, an American doctor and anthropologist(人类学者), set out to do something about this. Amid the political turmoil (混乱) and poverty of rural Haiti, he created a community based health care system called Zanmi Lasante, or Partners in Health. It not only delivers appropriate, affordable medical treatment to thousands of poor people, but goes beyond the clinic to address the social causes making them sick and keeping them from getting better.
　　As Dr. Farmer argues, improving the health of the poor is not just a medical challenge, but a question of human rights. Tackling the inequality, racism and other forms of "structural violence" which oppress the poor is as critical as extending the drugs. Or as his Haiti patients put it, medicine without food is like washing one's hands and drying them in the dirt.
Unfortunately, Dr. Farmer's powerful message is often weakened by his book's academic tone. It does, however, scream out in passages describing the human face of "structural violence".
The good doctor's motives and methods are better described in Mountains Beyond Mountains. This biography is written by Tracy Kidder.Though well written, Mr. Kidder's book also makes for uncomfortable reading. The author is clearly close to his subject, having traveled with Dr. Farmer from the green poverty of Haiti to the tubercular whiteness of Russia. Too close, perhaps. The biographer seems to be seeking his subject's approval, rather than the other way round. Mr. Kidder writes, rather disturbingly, about his fear of disappointing Dr. Farmer, his own pain at wounding him with a critical remark and his relief at the doctor's forgiveness.
When Mr. Kidder's health falls, this dependence becomes all the more intense. But rather than compromise the book's equity(公正), this intimacy serves to highlight Dr. Farmer's admirable, yet ultimately irritating, character. As Mr. Kidder observes, "Farmer wasn't put on earth to make anyone feel comfortable, except those lucky enough to be his patients or those unlucky enough to need him."

　　A) It makes attempts to help the poor on a social level.
　　B) It is aimed at treating poor people for free.
　　C) It is designed to help the poor rise from poverty.
　　D) It offers community help to those who are poor.

　　A) Hands should not be dried in the dirt after washing.
　　B) Medicine is also needed for cleaning hands.
　　C) Medicine is not a long term cure to their poor health

64. The disadvantage of Dr. Farmer's book seems to be that ___________.
　　A) the plots in the book are not attractive enough
　　B) the way he tells the stories is not compelling enough
　　C) the anger he expresses at "stupid deaths" is too strong
　　D) the tone is not strong enough to arouse people's attention

65. Mr. Kidder's book also makes for uncomfortable reading because___________ .
　　A) Mr. Kidder himself has never been involved in Dr. Farmer's life
　　B) Mr. Kidder is afraid of making true comments on Dr. Farmer
　　C) Mr. Kidder's emotions prevent him from independent writing

答案及解析
62. A。原文首段末尾说"它不仅给大量穷人提供适当的可以支付得起的治疗，还越过医疗层面，想要解决让穷人得病或很难康复的社会原因"。由此可推测此医疗系统与传统医院相比的独特之处在于 “它试图在社会层面上帮助穷人”，故A为正确答案。

63. C。原文第二段强调了"穷人的健康问题其实不是简单的医疗问题，还有人权问题"。药物只能治愈穷人的疾病，没有消灭贫穷就像把手放在灰尘中晾干，手还会脏的，即还是会生病的。据此可以推知，C项“药物无法使他们长期保持健康”与文意相符。

64. D。原文第三段首句说"他的强有力的信息通常被他所写的书的学术口吻给减弱了"，言下之意就是口气不够强，故D项"口气不够强，很难引起他人的注意"与文意相符，正确。

65. C。原文第四段最后两句说"作者好像一直在寻求描写对象的同意，他非常苦恼地描述了他害怕让Farmer大夫失望的恐惧和用批评的字眼伤害大夫的痛苦以及对大夫的谅解所感到的欣慰"。由此推测，他对大夫的情感使他不能独立地写作。故C项"Mr. Kidder的感情妨碍了他写作的独立性"是正确选项。

66. B。原文末段说"这种亲密倒突出了Farmer大夫那令人钦佩而又令人愤怒的性格"。Kidder先生写道，"Farmer不是到这个世界上让任何人感到舒适的"，由此推知，他对社会的种种不平等，特别是"结构型暴力"非常愤怒，因此很可能曾严厉地批评过这个社会，因此才会"让很多人感到不舒服"，故B项正确。
