Nowadays it is a common practice for some doctors and nurses to tell a lie to the patient who has got deadly disease. They try to hide the truth from the patient because they believe that the patient may suffer from severe mental trauma hearing the bad news.

But some others feel disclosing the truth is better. Then the patient can plan their last days better, and will be able to fulfill his last wishes and die peacefully. After all, the patient has the right to know his condition of disease.

In my opinion, whether or not we tell the patient the truth depends on different people and different situations. If the patient is afraid of death or is negative about life, doctors and nurses should hide the truth from him. On the contrary, if the patient is rational and positive, it is unnecessary to keep him in the dark and hide the truth intentionally.

Air turbulence can substantially accelerate the appearance of large droplets

triggering rain by presenting a new mechanism, the "sling effect", which

increases collisions of droplets that have become detached from the airflow.

First, vapor condensation in cloud cores produces small droplets resembling one

(5) another in size, which then expand to raindrop size by coalescing under the

effects of air turbulence—a force thought to cause collisions of similar-sized

droplets whose radii exceed a few micrometers. Then, turbulent vortices act as

small centrifuges that spin heavy droplets out, creating concentration

heterogeneities and jets of droplets, both of which increase the mean collision

(10) rate, which in turn accelerates rain initiation.

One can conclude that rain prediction requires a quantitative description of

droplet collision in turbulence, a mechanism which helps meteorologists to

forecast rainfall, but detailed understanding of the phenomenon entails

consideration of such factors as warm and cold fronts stretching over hundreds

(15) of miles, individual clouds perhaps a mile or so across, and even, as the

mechanism illustrates, tiny eddies perhaps a few centimeters or so in size.

The primary purpose of the passage is to

A．explain and resolve a controversy among meteorologists

B．present and describe a recently discovered phenomenon

C．suggest and prove a theory on the cause of a phenomenon

D．describe and confirm research findings under question

E．discuss and evaluate the soundness of certain experimental observations

For the past forty years it has been known that the ammonia produced by

the rhizobia bacteria in soybean roots diffuses through membranes surrounding

bacterial cells into the soybean tissue. Interestingly, these membranes are

Line highly impermeable to organic molecules such as amino acids. Once in the plant

(5) tissue, ammonia can be incorporated into the amino acids glutamine and

glutamate, which are used to synthesize other amino acids and nitrogen-

containing molecules the plant needs, such as proteins, nucleotides and nucleic

acids.

But it has recently been discovered that the ammonium or ammonia formed

(10) by nitrogen fixation is rapidly converted into the amino acid alanine, which is

then transported out of the bacterium; thus little if any fixed nitrogen leaves the

bacteria as ammonia. While researchers remain perplexed by the means through

which alanine actually passes the membranes, they speculate that the process

may keep the newly fixed nitrogen separate from the everyday nitrogen

(15) metabolism of the bacteria themselves, thus ensuring the rapid export of most

of it to the plant.

The passage suggests which of the following about scientists' conception of the function of the amino acid alanine in the rhizobia's nitrogen fixation process?

A．They have proposed at least one hypothesis that might account for the function of the immediate conversion of ammonia into alanine.

B．They have established the relationship between alanine and the production of nitrogen-containing molecules beneficial to soybean plants.

C．They continue to believe that ammonia plays an integral role in the symbiosis between rhizobia and soybean plants.

D．They remain uncertain as to how glutamine and glutamate can be produced in the absence of ammonium or ammonia.

E．They have largely rejected the notion that ammonia or ammonium plays any role in nitrogen fixation.
