    D.three tablets a day


    正确答案:C

  • 第2题:

    We can infer from the passage that ______.

    [A]Hollywood hardly improves southern California's economy

    [B]the shipping industry there is as dirty as other industries

    [C]people living near these ports suffer the most

    [D]the polluted air may cause both asthma and smaller lungs


    正确答案:D
    D与原文第二段最后两句话表达的意思一致。A与全文首句不一致,原文只是说航运比好莱坞在促进经济方面作用更大,并没有否认好莱坞。B曲解了第一段最后一句话。原文把港口比喻成引擎,意思是航运业污染严重,但并没有把航运业与其它产业进行污染程度的比较。C与第二段第二句不相符。原文指的是住在通往港口公路两旁的人受影响最大。从第四段港口解决措施来看,污染主要来自卡车,并非港口。

    If the doctor decides that you need treatment he can prescribe medicine. For example he can prescribe antibiotics for an infection. Medicine can be tablets to take with water or liquid to drink. The doctor writes the prescription. You take the prescription to the chemist's, and the chemist will make up the medicine for you. You usually have to pay some money for the medicine but you don't have to pay the full price.

  • 第5题:

    请阅读短文。
    Do who choose to go on exotic, far-flung holidays deserve free health advice before they travel? And even if they pay, who ensures that they get good, up-to-date information? Who, for that matter, should collect that information in the first place? For a variety of reasons, travel medicine in Britain is a responsibility nobody wants. As a result, many travellers go abroad prepared to avoid serious disease.
    Why is travel medicine so unloved? Partly there's an identity problem. Because it takes an interest in anything that impinges on the health of travellers, this emerging medical specialism invariably cuts across the traditional disciplines. It delves into everything from seasickness, jet lag and the hazards of camels to malaria and plague. But travel medicine has a more serious obstacle to overcome. Travel clinics are meant to tell people how to avoid ending up dead or in a hospital when they come home, but it is notoriously difficult to get anybody pay out money for keeping people healthy.
    Travel medicine has also been colonized by commercial interests; the vast majority of travel clinics in Britain are run by airlines or travel companies. And while travel concerns are happy to sell profitable injections, they may be less keen to spread bad news about travellers' diarrhea in Turkey, or to take time to spell out preventive measures travellers could take."The NHS finds it difficult to define travellers' health, says Ron Behrens, the only NHS consultant in travel and director of the travel clinic of the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in London." Should it come within the NHS or should it be paid for? It's Gary area, and opinion is spilt. No one seems to have any responsibility for defining its role, he says.
    To compound its low status in the medical hierarchy, travel medicine has to rely on statistics that are patchy at best. In most cases we just don't know how many Britons contract diseases when abroad. And even if a disease linked to travel there is rarely any information about where those afflicted went, what they are, how they behaved, or which vaccinations they had. This shortage of hard facts and figures makes it difficult to give detailed advice to people, information that might even save their lives.
    A recent leader in British Medical Journal argued. "Travel medicine will emerge as credible disciplines only if the risks encountered by travellers and the relative benefits of public health interventions are well defined in terms of their relative occurrence, distribution and control. Exactly how much money is wasted by poor travel advice. The real figure is anybody's guess, but it could easily- run into millions. Behrens gives one example. Britain spends more than 1 million each year just on cholera vaccines that often don't work and so give people a false sense of security."Information on the prevention and treatment of all forms of diarrhea would be a better priority, he salts.

    What can we conclude from the last paragraph?

    Natural Medicines
    Since earliest days,humans have used some kinds of medicines.We know this because hu- mans have survived .Ancient treatments for injury and disease were successful enough to keep hu- mans from dying out completely.
    They were successful long before the time of modern medicine.Before the time of doctors with white coats and shiny(发亮的)instruments. Before the time of big hospitals with strange and wonderful equipment.
    Many parts of the world still do not have university-educated doctors.Nor do they have ex-pensive hospitals.Yet injuries are treated.And diseases are often cured.How?By ancient meth- ods. By medicines that might seem mysterious, even magical(有魔力的).Traditional medicines are neither mysterious nor magical,however.
    Through the centuries, tribal(部落的)medicine men experimented with plants. They found many useful chemicals in the plants.And scientists believe many of these traditional medicines may provide the cure for some of today's most serious diseases.
    Experts say almost 80% of the people in the world use plants for health care.These natural medicines are used not just because people have no other form of treatment.They are used be-cause people trust them.In developed areas,few people think about the source of the medicines they buy in a store .Yet many widely-used medicines are from ancient sources,especially plants. Some experts say more than 25%of modern medicines come,in one way or another,from nature.
    Scientists have long known that nature is really a chemical factory.All living things contain chemicals that help them survive.So scientists' interest in traditional medicine is not new.But it has become an urgent concern.This is because the earth's supply of natural medicines may be dropping rapidly.

    It is believed by scientists that traditional medicines______.
    A: can cure all kinds of diseases
    B: may cure some of today's most serious diseases
    C: are no longer useful for modem men
    D: are too cheap to be useful

    答案:B
    解析:
    第一段中“…successful enough to keep humans from dying out completely” (有效地使人类免于完全灭绝)与选项B“successful enough for humans to survive ”(有效地使人类生存下来)意思一样。短文中并没有对选项A的内容做比较,实际上也不可能笼统地做这种比较。选项C和D凭常识也能做出判断,绝对肯定和绝对否定都是错误的。
