Want a glance of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the various networks of people about patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient - no matter where he or she may be.
  Online doctors offering advice based on norman symptoms(癥狀)are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis(遠(yuǎn)程診斷)will be based on real physiological data(生理數(shù)據(jù))from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using personal data assistance plus a mobile phone ,it is perfectly practical to send a patient’s important signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipement, the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.
  Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural (countryside) care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster need - especially after earthquakes. On the whole, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and experts’ opinions.
  But there is one problem. Bandwidth(寬帶) is the limiting factor for sending complex (復(fù) 雜 )medical pictures around the world,―CU photos being one of the biggest bandwidth users. Communication satellites say be able to deal with the short - term needs during disasters such as earthquakes or wars. But medicine is looking towards both the second - generation Internet and third generation mobile phones for the future of remote medical service.
  Doctors have met to discuss computer - based tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications, the new technologies should start a new time when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, experts’opinions and diagnosis are common.


  68.The writer chiefly talks about ________ .
  A. the use of telemedicine
  B. the on -lined doctors
  C. medical care and treatment
  D. communication improvement
  69.Which of the following statements is true according to the text?
  A. Patients don’t need doctors in hospitals any more.
  B. It is impossible to send a patient’s signs over the telephone.
  C. Many teams use telemedicine dealing with disasters now.
  D. Broadband communications will become cheaper in the future.
  70.The“problem”in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that ________ .
  A. bandwidth isn’t big enough to send complex medical pictures
  B. the second - generation of Internet has not become popular yet
  C. communication satellites can only deal with short - term needs
  D. there is not enough equipment for spreading the medical care

  68.A

解析:從全文意思可知。
  69.D

解析:從第五段“With the falling price of broadband communications”可知。
  70.D

解析:從第四段第二句“Bandwidth is the limiting factor for sending complex medical pictures…”可知。

Last week,Bill Gates retired from full-time work at the world’s biggest computer software company, Microsoft.He will remain chairman of the company he established with Paul Allen in nineteen seventy-five.

Mister Gates leaves Microsoft at a time of change in the computing industry.Microsoft grew at a time when personal computers,or PCs,were replacing big mainframe computers as the main computing tools.He showed that huge profits could be made in software as PCs increasingly were found “on every desk and in every home.”

Early on,Microsoft understood the importance of the “network effect.” That is, software is the kind of product that increases in value as more people buy and use it.

Now,free Internet software threatens to replace PC-based software.Devices like “smart phones” connect people to the Internet.Google has become a 1eader in Internet Web searching and advertising.Microsoft has struggled to change with the new computer environment.Its efforts to sell music and its latest operating system,Vista,have not been big successes.And an attempt this year to buy Yahoo for over forty-seven billion dollars failed.

In the last several years,Bill Gates has slowly given control of Microsoft to others.In two thousand,he gave the job of chief executive officer to Steve Ballmer, a friend of his since their years at Harvard University.Mister Ballmer has been with Microsoft since nineteen eighty.Still,it is hard to overestimate(過高估計) the influence of Bill Gates on computing.He developed the business model that put the Windows operating system on about ninety percent of the world’s one billion PCs.Microsoft now has almost ninety thousand employees.

At fifty―two years old,Bill Gates is currently the third richest man in the world.He is worth about fifty-eight billion dollars.He remains Microsoft’s biggest shareholder.

Mister Gates will now spend most of his time working at his charity organization, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.The foundation is the world's largest charity with over thirty-seven billion dollars.It provides money for health, education and other projects,mostly in developing countries.
