Their plan was to have ambulances (救护车) to help the injured in wartime. These ambulances would have large red crosses on them. Soldiers on both sides would know that these ambulances had injured men in them and would not attack them. It was not long before the Red Cross had hospitals on the battlefields(战地) and ships to carry the injured soldiers. Now they even have flying helicopters in the sky.

Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares. Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce ,or possibly erase(抹去)the effect of painful memories. In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased. The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. “Some memories can ruin people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.” But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past. “All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out,” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist(伦理学家). 72. The passage is mainly about . A. a painful memory B. a medical ethicist C. an experiment of erasing painful memories D. an argument about the research on the pill 73. The drug which was tested on people can . A. cause the brain to fix memories B. help people remembering bad experiences C. prevent body producing certain chemicals D. erase all the memories 74. We can infer from the passage that . A. some people disagree to use the pills B. the pill will stop people's bad experiences C. taking the pill will do harm to people's health D. the pill has been produced in America 75. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with? A. Some memories can ruin people's lives. B. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others. C. People need to get rid of bad memories. D. The pill will reduce people's sufferings from bad memories. 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题 共35分) 第一部分 根据句意和中文意思，写出单词的正确形式;或用括号中所给词的适当形式填空。(共10 小题：每题1分，满分10分) 76. Excuse me, what is the __________(费用)to Paris?
