1.The United States has more than one hundred twenty medical colleges. The American Association of Medical Colleges says these schools have about seventy thousand students.How hard is it to get into one of the top medical schools, like for example the one at Yale University in Connecticut? Last year almost three thousand seven hundred students hoped to get accepted there. Only one hundred seventy-six -- or less than five percent -- were admitted.People who want to become medical doctors often study large amounts of biology, chemistry and other science. Some students work for a year or two in a medical or research job before they try to get accepted to medical school.Medical students spend their first two years in classroom study. They learn about the body and all of its systems. And they begin studying diseases -- how to recognize and treat them. By the third year, students guided by experienced doctors begin working with patients in hospitals. As the students watch and learn, they think about the kind of medicine they would like to practice as doctors. During the fourth year, students begin applying to hospital programs for the additional training they will need after medical school. Competition for a residency at a top hospital can be fierce.A medical education can be very costly, especially at a private school. One year at a private medical college can cost forty thousand dollars or more. The average at a public medical school is more than fifteen thousand dollars. Most students have to take out loans to pay for medical school. Many finish their education heavily in debt.Doctors are among the highest paid professionals in the United States. Specialists in big cities are generally the highest paid. But there are also doctors who earn considerably less, including those in poor communities.(1)Which of the following ideas is NOT suggested in the passage?A、It is hard to get into one of the top medical schools.B、The United States has more than one hundred twenty medical colleges.C、Medical students need two years' classroom study.D、After graduating from medical schools, the students become doctors.(2)How many years the medical students take to graduate from medical school?A、2B、3C、4D、1(3)In what way many medical students pay for their medical education?A、Have part-time jobs in hospitals.B、Take out loans.C、Their parents pay for it.D、Work hard for the scholarship.(4)What the medical students begin to do in their fourth year of study?A、Looking for a job.B、Working with patients in hospitalsC、Applying to hospital programs for the additional training.D、Learning about the body and all of its systems(5)_______ are generally the highest paid.A、Specialists in big cities.B、Experienced doctors.C、Doctors in poor communitiesD、Doctors who graduated from private medical schools.

2.Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.One of the most exciting races ever run is now in progress between doctors fighting malaria(疟疾)and mosquitoes. According to the most recent counts 225 million people a year suffer attacks of malaria and more than two million die. Public health workers around the world are doing all t11ev can to destroy malaria before the mosquitoes that pass on the disease become resistant to the poisons now used against them. It's a race against time and against difficulties,with millions of lives in danger and the chances of winning not in man's favour.Malaria,it is true,has been practically wiped out in thirteen countries. including the United States,and is under attack in many others. But it is equally true that in some parts of the world certain types of malaria-carrying mosquitoes have already learned to resist some of the sprays that formerly killed them. Other types of mosquitoes are not killed as quickly by present sprays as they once were.The World Health Organization is helping national governments to get rid of malaria before resistance among the mosquito population becomes so great that new poisons will have to be found to replace those in use at present. Most of the countries in the world have started,or are planning,campaigns against mosquitoes. If the race against resistance is won by man,it is possible that ten years from now dais old evil will have disappeared completely from the America,perhaps from the world.Malaria has been successfully got. rid of in______.A. all countriesB. some countriesC. no countriesD. most countries

4.Passage FourEqual pay for equal work is a phrase used by the American women who feel that they are looked down upon by the society. They say it is not right for women to be paid less than men for the same work.People who hold the opposite opinion(mainly men)have an answer to this. They say that men have more responsibility than women; a married man is expected to earn money to support his family and to make important decisions, and therefore it is right for men to be paid more. There are some people who hold even stronger opinion than this and are against married women working at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children are given no attention to. If women are encouraged by equal pay to take full-time job, they will be unable to do the things they are supposed to. Women are best at making a comfortable home and bringing up children. They will have to give up their present position in society."This is exactly what they want to give up, "the women who disagree say. "They want to escape from the limited place which society expects them to fill, and to have freedom to choose between a job and home life, or a mixture of the two. Women have the right of equal pay and equal opportunities."These women have expressed their opinions forcefully by using the famous saying, "All men are created equal." They point out that the meaning of this sentence is "all human beings are created equal."48. The women use the phrase "equal pay for equal work" to demand that______.A. women's work shouldn't be harder than men'sB. men should be paid less than womenC. people doing harder work should earn moreD. men and women should be paid the same amount of money for the same work

    As many as 20% of all children in the United States suffer from some form of the learning disorder called dyslexia.
    Experts on dyslexia say that the problem is not a disease.They say that persons with dyslexia use information in a different way.One of the world's great thinkers and scientists,Albert Einstein was dyslexic.Einstein said that he never thought in words the way that most people do.He said that he thought in pictures instead.The American inventor Thomas Edison was also dyslexic.Dyslexia first was recognized in Europe and the United States more than 80 years ago.Many years passed before doctors discovered that persons with the disorder were not mentally slow or disabled.The doctors found that the brains of persons with dyslexia are different.In most people,the left side of the brain一 the part that controls language is larger than the right side.In persons with dyslexia,the right side of the brain is bigger. Doctors are not sure what causes this difference.However,research has shown that dyslexia is more common in males than in females,and it is found more often in persons who are left handed.No one knows the cause of dyslexia,but some scientists believe that it may result from chemical changes in a baby's body long before it is born.They are trying to find ways to teach persons with dyslexia. Dyslexic persons think differently and need special kinds of teaching help.After they have solved their problems with language,they often show themselves to be especially intelligent or creative.

    Generally speaking,dyslexia is more common in left-handed males than in right-handed females.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:A
    解析:
    该题提到数字的问题,所以注意文章中含有数字的句子。文章第一段提到:"As many as 20% of all children in the United States suffer from some form of the learning disorder called dyslexia.”美国有多达20%的儿童患有阅读障碍症。问题句中的one out of five的意思是“每五个人中有一个”,即20%的人。
    问题句说“世界上许多伟大的思想家和科学家都患有阅读障碍症。”文章第二段仅提到爱因斯坦和爱迪生是阅读障碍症患者,并未讲许多科学家和思想家也有这种情况。因此选C。
    利用the first cases作为答案线索词,在第二段找到答案所在句:" Dyslexia first was recognized in Europe and the United States more than 80 years ago.”该句说欧洲和美国在80多年以前首次发现阅读障碍症患者,与问题句The first cases of dyslexia in Europe were discovered less than a century ago吻合。
    注意含有“the left side of the brain/the right side of the brain”的句子,可以在第二段找到答案,相关句说:" In persons with dyslexia , the right side of the brain is bigger.”患阅读障碍症的人的右脑比左脑大。所以该题选B。
    注意文章中含有“the left handed/the right handed”的句子。找到答案相关句:“…research has shown that dyslexia is more common in males than in females,and it is found more often in persons who are left handed.”该句说有研究表明男人比女人更易患阅读障碍症,惯用左手者比惯用右手者更易患阅读障碍症,据此我们可以推断该句子是正确的。
    通读全文,根本就找不到关于“婴儿母亲的不良习惯”的信息。况且文章说阅读障碍的成因尚不清楚,因此选C。
    根据intelligent和creative,我们在文章最后一句话找到答案相关句:" After they have solved their problems with language,they often show themselves to be especially intelligent or creative.”该句说解决了语言方面的问题之后,患有阅读障碍症的人往往表现出超人的智慧或创造力。

    Hypertension Drugs Found to Cut Risk of Stroke
    Australian doctors declared Monday that a cocktail of simple antihypertensive drugs can lower the risk of patients suffering a repeat stroke by more than a third.This is the result of their research.The research, presented at a medical conference in Italy over the weekend,has been valued highly as a major breakthrough in stroke prevention.
    Strokes kill 5 million people a year,and more than 15 million suffer non-fatal strokes that often leave them with useless limbs,slurred speech and other serious disabilities.One in five stroke survivors goes on to have a second,often fatal,stroke within five years of the first.
    An international six-year study of 6,100 patients directed from Sydney University found that by taking two blood pressure-lowering drugs,the risk of secondary strokes can be reduced by up to 40 percent.Even taking one of the commonly available drugs can cut the risk by a third,the study said.The drugs are the diuretic indapamide ( 吲达帕胺)and the ACE inhibitor perindopril , better known by its brand name Cover- syl.The combination was effective even in patients who did not have high blood pressure,the researchers said.They even found that the risk of another stroke could be cut by three quarters among the one-in-ten pa- tients who had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage(出血), the worst type of stroke , where there is direct bleeding into the brain.
    Stephen McMahon,who presented the research at the Milan congress of the European Society of Hypertension,said about 50 million people were alive who had suffered at least one stroke."If most of those patients were able to get access to this treatment,it would result in maybe the avoidance of half a million strokes a year,"the professor told Australia's ABC Radio.
    McMahon said doctors had long known that lowering the blood pressure of those with hypertension could help prevent strokes."What we have shown for the first time is that it does not really matter what your blood pressure is;if you have had a stroke,then lowering blood pressure will produce large benefits,to begin with-even for people whose blood pressure is average or below average,"he said.
    McMahon said the Milan gathering had heralded the research as a"major breakthrough in the care of patients with strokes-perhaps the biggest step forward that we have made in the last couple of decades."

    Which of the following is NOT a symptom left by strokes?
    A:Habitual sleeplessness.
    B:Losing the function of one or more extremities.
    C:Speaking unclearly.
    D:Serious disabilities such as facial paralysis.

    答案:A
    解析:
    由文章第二段最后一句“One in five stroke survivors goes on to have a second , often fatal,stroke within five years of the first.”可知,中风以后存活的病人中,有1/5的人在第一次中风后5年内会再次中风,而且常常是致命的。故C为正确答案。
    由文章第三段的内容可知,服用两种降压药中风复发的危险性可减少40%;单服一种药,其危险性降低1/3,即约33%。可见服用两种药比服用一种药可多减少大约7%,即大约1/14的危险性。
    第二段第一句说非致命的中风常造成病人四肢残废、语言含糊不清以及其他严重残疾。B、C、D三项均属于中风的后遗症(D项的面部麻痹属于严重残疾之一),而A项“习惯性失眠”则不应属于中风的后遗症。故A是正确答案。
    由文章第四段第二句“‘ If most of those patients were able to get access to this treatment , it would result in maybe the avoidance of half a million strokes a year,’”可知,如果大多数病人有机会进行这样治疗的话,每年就可以避免50万次中风的发生。故B为正确答案。
    由文章倒数第二段的内容可知,血压高低并不重要,只要你得了中风,降低血压就有很大益处,即使血压正常或低于正常值也是如此。故D为正确答案。

    阅读下面这篇短文,短文后列出了七个句子,请根据短文的内容对每个句子作出判断。如果该句提供的是正确信息,请选择A;如果该句提供的是错误信息,请选择B;如果该句的信息文章中没有提及,请选择C。
    【解析】
    题干意为“过去医生对于胃溃疡是无能为力”。利用题干中的细节信息词/短 语in the past, doctors作为定位线索,在第一段找到相关句:Doctors have been able to help lessen the pain of ulcers.They could not cure them.相关句意为“医生一直能够帮助减少溃疡造成的痛苦。但是他们不能治愈胃溃疡这种疾病”,由此可见在过去医生虽然不能治愈胃溃疡,但也能对这种疾病进行治疗,因此题干陈述的意义与短文内容不一致。该题主要考查对时态意义的理解:相关句使用了现在完成时态,这表明“减少胃溃疡造成的疼痛(即治疗胃溃疡)”是从过去持续到现在的动作,这也就说明在过去就能对胃溃疡进行治疗。
    题干意为“现在医生能成功地治愈胃溃疡” 该句在句意上与上题有关:一个说过去的情况,一个说现在的情况,因此从上一题的相关句的位置往下找该题相关句,同时关注题干中的细节信息词now , doctors,题干中出现的修饰词successfully在查找相关句的过程中也 需要关注,这样在第一段找到相关句:Now doctors have discovered a cause of ulcers.This means they may have found a way to cure people who suffer from the stomach pain.该句意为“现在医生们已经发现了溃疡的一种致病原因。这就意味着他们可能已经找到一种方法来治疗那些遭受到胃痛困扰的人”,由此不难看出题干与该句的内容不一致:题干在肯定地陈述一个事实:能成功治愈胃溃疡;短文说只是可能:“可能找到治疗方法”,即现在治愈胃溃疡只是一种可能(提示:混淆 “可能性”和“事实”是阅读判断题中“错误”这个答案选项常见的出题形式)。
    题干意为“有些人可能在一生中的某个时候遭受胃溃疡这种疾病的困扰”。利用题干中的细节信息词/短语some people, at some time in their life作为定位线索,这样在 第一段中找到该题相关句:Studies show that ten percent of the population(与some people 呼应)will develop an ulcer at some time in their life.该句意为“研究显示10%的人在他们一生中的某个时候可能遭受胃溃疡的困扰”。很明显,这与题干意义一致。
    题干意为“经过多年的实验后医生已经发现了溃疡的一种致病原因”。利用 题干中的细节信息词/短语doctors, a cause of ulcers,after many years of experiments作为定 位线索,在第一段找到涉及到doctor和a cause of ulcers相关的句子:Now doctors have dis-covered a cause of ulcers.该句没有提到many years of experiments“许多年的试验”,而短文中的其他部分也没有出现many years of experiments,由此可见“是否医生们是经过许多年的试验后才发现溃疡的一种致病原因”是无法从短文中了解到的信息,因此题干陈述的信息是短文中未提及的信息(提示:题干中只要有一部分信息是短文中未提及的信息,就可以由此判断题干陈述的信息是短文中未提及的信息)。
    题干意为“医生对胃溃疡的致病原因的理解已经有了变化”。利用题干中的 细节信息词/短语change, doctors's understanding, the cause of stomach ulcer作为定位线 索,这样找到相关句:Doctors believed(与 doctors' understanding呼应)that ulcers were caused(与the cause of stomach ulcer)by unusually strong stomach fluids,which damaged stomach tissue.Now they have discovered that most ulcers are caused(与the cause of stom- ach ulcer)by a bacterial organism called Hillico Bactor Pilorie or H.Pillorie.这两个句子提到“医生过去认为溃疡是由胃里超强的液体流动造成的。现在他们发现大多数的胃溃疡是由细菌造成的……”,这两个句子通过陈述医生们过去对溃疡的理解和现在对溃疡的理解来说明医生对溃疡的理解已经有了变化,很明显,题干意义就是对这两个相关句意义的概括(提示:有的题干是对短文中相关句子意义的概括总结)。
    题干意为“胃溃疡会导致胃癌”。利用题干中的细节信息短语stomach cancer 作为定位线索词,这样在第二段的结尾部分找到相关句:They also believe curing ulcers will re- duce the number of people who develop stomach cancer.该句意为“他们认为治愈溃疡能够减少患胃癌的人数”,由此可知胃溃疡是造成胃癌的一个原因,题干陈述的信息与短文内容一致。
    题干意为“喜欢吃辛辣食物的人容易患胃溃疡”。利用题干中的细节信息短语a lot of spicy food作为定位线索,结果发现短文中根本没有谈到spicy food,由此可知短文中根本没有涉及到辛辣食物和胃溃疡之间的关系,因此无法依据短文判断出是否喜欢吃辛辣食物的人容易患胃溃疡,由此判断题干陈述的信息为短文中未提及的信息。

    由文章第一段倒数第二句“Studies show that ten percent of the population will develop an ulcer at some time in their lives.”可知,全世界百分之十的人口在其一生中会得胃溃疡。故A 为正确答案。
    文章前两段只是说医生们找到了一种引发胃溃疡的病因,但并没有提及发现这种病因 耗费的时间或者过程。故C为正确答案。
    由文章第二段的倒数第六句“Now they have discovered that most ulcers are caused by a bacterial organism called Hillico Bactor Pilorie or H Pilorie.”可知,现在医生们发现胃溃疡是一种 细菌导致的,这是医生对胃溃疡病因理解的改变。故A为正确答案。
    借助常识和背景知识判断该句的说法正确,所以答案可能为“正确”或“没提到”。借助 题干中的特征词stomach cancer作为答案线索词,这样在第2段的结尾部分找到答案相关句 (They also believe curing ulcers will reduce the number of people who develop stomach cancer.他们 相信治愈溃疡能够减少胃癌的认输),确认题干句的说法正确。
    借助题干中的spicy food作为答案线索词,发现文章中根本没有谈到spicy food,所以判 断该题的说法为“没提到”。

  • 第7题:

    Until the early 20th century failure to bear a son was grounds for divorce.South Koreans greatly preferred boys,who could not only support their parents financially but also carry out ancestral rites.When ultrasound technology became widespread in the 1980s,many South Koreans used it to detect female femses and then have them aborted.Sex ratios became skewed.In response to these trends the South Korean government made it illegal for doctors to reveal the sex of a fetus,Following the Asian financial crisis of 1997,many women took part-time jobs to supplement the family income.Parents noticed,and began to invest more heavily in educating girls.In 2015 three-quarters of South Korean female secondary-schoolers went to university,compared with two-thirds of their male peers.Since 2009 expectant parents have been allowed to know the sex of their baby after 32 weeks'gestation.Many will have found out before,from doctors who trust that parents'attitudes have changed.


    答案:
    解析:
    直到20世纪初,无法生育男孩还是离婚的理由之一。韩国人民非常偏爱男孩,主要是因为男孩不仅可以在经济上赡养父母,还能延续先祖的宗法。20世纪80年代,超声波技术得到广泛应用,许多韩国家庭借此技术手段对胎儿性别进行鉴别,打掉女孩,最终导致男女比例严重失调。时此,韩国政府出台了一项法规,将医生向准父母告知其胎儿性别列为违法行为。继1997年的亚洲金融危机之后,许多妇女通过做兼职工作来补贴家用。父母们意识到了教育的重要性,并加大对女孩子在教育方面的投资。到2015年,有四分之三的中学女生进入大学深造,相比较而言,中学男生大学升学率是三分之二。自2009年起,准父母在怀孕32周后可以知道他们孩子的性别。他们也能提前从医生那里得知,但医生相信准父母的观点已经改变。

    问答题
    Directions:In this section, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary below by choosing a maximum of three words from the passage to fill in the spaces 76-80. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.  Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage.  Headaches are a big problem. But they are not just a problem for the person suffering from the headache. They are a problem for society as well. Each year, millions of people suffer from severe headaches that keep them from doing their jobs. In fact, according to one estimate, headaches cost individuals and businesses more than $50 billion each year! This is one of the reasons research into headaches has become a worldwide effort.  Although he did not know much about how headaches work, Hippocrates was the first doctor to find a way to treat them. Before 400 B.C., Hippocrates discovered that the bark from willow trees was useful in treating pain. He made a white powder from the tree’s bark and gave it to his patients.  Hippocrates did not know it, but he was actually prescribing a natural chemical in willow bark called salicin. When a person eats salicin, the chemical is changed inside her or his body into salicylic acid. It turns out that salicylic acid is good for stopping pain, including headache, but it is bad for a person’s stomach. In the 1800s, a chemist in Germany changed the acid’s form a little to make it easier for people to take. This new form of the chemical was called acetylsalicylic acid, commonly known as aspirin today.  Aspirin was used throughout most of the 1900s to treat headaches, but doctors had little idea about what really caused headaches. When doctors know the cause of a disease, they can find better ways to treat it. Therefore, as medical technology developed, doctors began to use the technology to learn more about the human brain and about headaches.  Currently, doctors classify headaches into two general types: primary and secondary. A primary headache is a condition suffered as only the headache itself. On the other hand, a secondary headache is one caused by another condition. For example, someone who catches the flu may suffer from headaches along with other symptoms of the illness. Flu headaches are thus secondary headaches.  For primary headaches, doctors have determined three possible causes. One kind of primary headache is caused by stress. Doctors usually call these tension headaches. Such headaches are characteristically felt on both sides of the head as a dull, steady pain.Another kind of primary headache is the migraine headache. Doctors believe these headaches are caused by reduced flow of blood to certain parts of the brain. A migraine sufferer usually feels intense pain on one side of the head. The sufferer also becomes sensitive to light and noise. If the migraine is severe, the sufferer may vomit repeatedly.  The third kind of primary headache is known as the cluster headache. Cluster headaches typically occur around the same time each day for weeks or months at a time. The person suffering from this kind of headache usually feels pain on one side of her or his head, and the pain is centered around one of the person’s eyes. Doctors do not know much at present about cluster headaches, but they seem more common among men and could be related to alcohol or other things that affect a person’s blood flow.  Using computers and more advanced medical equipment, doctors continue to learn more about what happens in the brain before and during headaches. Especially in the case of migraines, some doctors believe they have found the part of the brain that sets off the reaction for severe attacks. With this new insight into brain processes, doctors hope new ways will be discovered for stopping disabling headaches before they begin.  Summary:  Doctors knew a long time ago that the  1 from the willow trees could help people who felt pain. Hippocrates was the first doctor to change organic material into a powder and give it to his patients. But it was not until the 1800s that this natural drug was altered and became known as  2 .  With the help of technology, doctors have now gained detailed insight into how the brain works and what happens when a person suffers from a headache. Through this research, headaches have been  3 primary and secondary headaches. There are three types of primary headaches: tension, migraine, and cluster headaches. Although not much is known about cluster headaches, doctors have been able to determine some of the things that  4 During a migraine attack, the sufferer may become  5 and noise.

  • 第13题:

    A report published today by British doctors showed some worrying trends, but also some positive signs that in the long- term the country’s health might improve. The report was based on two years of interviews with family doctors about their patients.

    The doctors expressed concern that patients were eating too much and were generally overweight. The doctors said this was particularly worrying as they were seeing more and more young people with weight problems. But it was not just their patients eating too much concerned doctors, but the quality of the food as well.

    The doctors said that many of their patients led busy lives and did not have time to cook traditional meals. Because of this many of them were turning to unhealthy fast foods. Sales

    of this type of food have been increasing steadily over the last decade, although there were signs that the rate of growth is declining. The doctors felt that there was a clear link between over- consuming of fast food and health problems among their patients.

    But the report was not all bad news. The doctors interviewed also reported an increased awareness of the importance of healthy eating among their patients. Many reported an increase

    in the number of patients they see who had switched to a healthy organic diet.

    [B] doctors’ aggressive medical measures to dying patients

    [C] doctors’ mercy killing to reduce sufferings of dying patients

    [D] doctors’ well-meaning treatment to save dying patients


    正确答案:C
    58. [C]意为:医师为帮助生命垂危病人摆脱痛苦而采取的致死措施。 本题是一道词义题,但是解题更多的需要涉及到文章中心词,本文第一段从澳大利亚通过的一个关于安乐死法案的新闻入手,下文全部在讨论各界对该法案的反应,同时在文章最后作者以实例表明了自己对安乐死的观点,由此我们可以确定文章的中心是关于安乐死的。而考研文章的任何一道阅读题目的命制都是和文章中心紧密相连的。据此我们可以推断出答案为C。
    A意为:医师对垂危病人的同情。
    B 医师对垂死病人采取的过激医疗手段。
    D 医师为挽救垂危病人的生命而采取的善意的治疗。 另外“euthanasia” 所在句和下面的 In the US and Canada, where the right to die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling.处于平衡位置,由此我们可以判断“euthanasia”和下句的 the right to die 大意相同,答案可

    Stomach Ulcer
    Stomach ulcers are the cause of severe pain for many people.Doctors have been able to help lessen the pain of ulcers.They could not cure them.Now doctors have discovered a cause of ulcers.This means they may have found a way to cure people who suffer from the stomach pain.Studies show that ten percent of the population will develop an ulcer at some time in their life.So a possible cure is good news for many people.
    Ulcers are wounds in the stomach that are similar to small cuts or tears.These wounds can harm the tissue in the stomach,the pipe that carries the food to the stomach or parts of the small intestines.Fluids in the stomach then increase the pain of an ulcer.How does a person know he or she has an ulcer?Doctors say most people with ulcers feel a burning pain in their chest or stomach.This pain often is called heart burn.It usually happens before eating or during the night.It causes some people to lose their desire to eat,or they are unable to keep food in their stomachs.Doctors believed that ulcers were caused by unusually strong stomach fluids,which damaged stomach tissue.Now they have discovered that most ulcers are caused by a bacterial organism called Hillico Bactor Pilorie or H.Pillorie.H.Pillorie bacteria are what make stomach produce extra stomach fluid.Doctors found that they can kill the bacteria with medicines called antibiotics.Health experts say the discovery of a cure for ulcers can save thousands of millions of dollars in medical costs.They also believe curing ui- cers will reduce the number of people who develop stomach cancer.The number of people with stomach cancer is very high in Japan,Southeast Asia and parts of Africa.
    Doctors say a person is more likely to get an ulcer if his or her family has had one.In fact a person with the family history of ulcers is three times more likely to get one than other peo-ple.There are ways people can protect themselves from developing an ulcer.Doctors say it is more important to reduce the amount of strong fluids in the stomach.To do this,doctors say,people should not smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol.And they say people should reduce tension in their lives.

    Now doctors can successfully cure stomach ulcers.

    答案:B
    解析:
    阅读下面这篇短文,短文后列出了七个句子,请根据短文的内容对每个句子作出判断。如果该句提供的是正确信息,请选择A;如果该句提供的是错误信息,请选择B;如果该句的信息文章中没有提及,请选择C。
    【解析】
    题干意为“过去医生对于胃溃疡是无能为力”。利用题干中的细节信息词/短 语in the past, doctors作为定位线索,在第一段找到相关句:Doctors have been able to help lessen the pain of ulcers.They could not cure them.相关句意为“医生一直能够帮助减少溃疡造成的痛苦。但是他们不能治愈胃溃疡这种疾病”,由此可见在过去医生虽然不能治愈胃溃疡,但也能对这种疾病进行治疗,因此题干陈述的意义与短文内容不一致。该题主要考查对时态意义的理解:相关句使用了现在完成时态,这表明“减少胃溃疡造成的疼痛(即治疗胃溃疡)”是从过去持续到现在的动作,这也就说明在过去就能对胃溃疡进行治疗。
    题干意为“现在医生能成功地治愈胃溃疡” 该句在句意上与上题有关:一个说过去的情况,一个说现在的情况,因此从上一题的相关句的位置往下找该题相关句,同时关注题干中的细节信息词now , doctors,题干中出现的修饰词successfully在查找相关句的过程中也 需要关注,这样在第一段找到相关句:Now doctors have discovered a cause of ulcers.This means they may have found a way to cure people who suffer from the stomach pain.该句意为“现在医生们已经发现了溃疡的一种致病原因。这就意味着他们可能已经找到一种方法来治疗那些遭受到胃痛困扰的人”,由此不难看出题干与该句的内容不一致:题干在肯定地陈述一个事实:能成功治愈胃溃疡;短文说只是可能:“可能找到治疗方法”,即现在治愈胃溃疡只是一种可能(提示:混淆 “可能性”和“事实”是阅读判断题中“错误”这个答案选项常见的出题形式)。
    题干意为“有些人可能在一生中的某个时候遭受胃溃疡这种疾病的困扰”。利用题干中的细节信息词/短语some people, at some time in their life作为定位线索,这样在 第一段中找到该题相关句:Studies show that ten percent of the population(与some people 呼应)will develop an ulcer at some time in their life.该句意为“研究显示10%的人在他们一生中的某个时候可能遭受胃溃疡的困扰”。很明显,这与题干意义一致。
    题干意为“经过多年的实验后医生已经发现了溃疡的一种致病原因”。利用 题干中的细节信息词/短语doctors, a cause of ulcers,after many years of experiments作为定 位线索,在第一段找到涉及到doctor和a cause of ulcers相关的句子:Now doctors have dis-covered a cause of ulcers.该句没有提到many years of experiments“许多年的试验”,而短文中的其他部分也没有出现many years of experiments,由此可见“是否医生们是经过许多年的试验后才发现溃疡的一种致病原因”是无法从短文中了解到的信息,因此题干陈述的信息是短文中未提及的信息(提示:题干中只要有一部分信息是短文中未提及的信息,就可以由此判断题干陈述的信息是短文中未提及的信息)。
    题干意为“医生对胃溃疡的致病原因的理解已经有了变化”。利用题干中的 细节信息词/短语change, doctors's understanding, the cause of stomach ulcer作为定位线 索,这样找到相关句:Doctors believed(与 doctors' understanding呼应)that ulcers were caused(与the cause of stomach ulcer)by unusually strong stomach fluids,which damaged stomach tissue.Now they have discovered that most ulcers are caused(与the cause of stom- ach ulcer)by a bacterial organism called Hillico Bactor Pilorie or H.Pillorie.这两个句子提到“医生过去认为溃疡是由胃里超强的液体流动造成的。现在他们发现大多数的胃溃疡是由细菌造成的……”,这两个句子通过陈述医生们过去对溃疡的理解和现在对溃疡的理解来说明医生对溃疡的理解已经有了变化,很明显,题干意义就是对这两个相关句意义的概括(提示:有的题干是对短文中相关句子意义的概括总结)。
    题干意为“胃溃疡会导致胃癌”。利用题干中的细节信息短语stomach cancer 作为定位线索词,这样在第二段的结尾部分找到相关句:They also believe curing ulcers will re- duce the number of people who develop stomach cancer.该句意为“他们认为治愈溃疡能够减少患胃癌的人数”,由此可知胃溃疡是造成胃癌的一个原因,题干陈述的信息与短文内容一致。
    题干意为“喜欢吃辛辣食物的人容易患胃溃疡”。利用题干中的细节信息短语a lot of spicy food作为定位线索,结果发现短文中根本没有谈到spicy food,由此可知短文中根本没有涉及到辛辣食物和胃溃疡之间的关系,因此无法依据短文判断出是否喜欢吃辛辣食物的人容易患胃溃疡,由此判断题干陈述的信息为短文中未提及的信息。

    Stomach Ulcer

    Stomach ulcers are the cause of severe pain for many people.Doctors have been able to help lessen the
    pain of ulcers.They could not cure them.Now doctors have discovered a cause of ulcers.This means they

    Ulcers are wounds in the stomach that are similar to small cuts or tears.These wounds can harm the
    tissue in the stomach,the pipe that carries the food to the stomach or parts of the small intestines.Fluids in
    the stomach then increase the pain of an ulcer. How does a person know he or she has an ulcer? Doctors say
    most people with ulcers feel a burning pain in their chests or stomachs.This pain is often called heartburn.It
    usually happens before eating or during the night. It causes some people to lose their desire to eat,or they are
    unable to keep food in their stomachs.Doctors believed that ulcers were caused by unusually strong stomach
    fluids,which damaged stomach tissue.Now they have discovered that most ulcers are caused by a bacterial

    of strong fluids in the stomach.To do this,doctors say,people should not smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol.
    And they say people should reduce tension in their lives.

    Some people are likely to suffer from the stomach pain at some time in their lives.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:A
    解析:
    由文章第一段的第二、三句“Doctors have been able to help lessen the pain of ulcers.They could not cure them.”可知,过去,医生们虽然不能治愈胃溃疡,但可以减轻胃溃疡造成的疼痛。 故B为正确答案。
    由文章第一段的内容可知,医生们发现了一种能引起胃溃疡的病因,这有可能使医生 们找到治愈此病的方法,但这只是一种可能性。故B为正确答案。
    由文章第一段倒数第二句“Studies show that ten percent of the population will develop an ulcer at some time in their lives.”可知,全世界百分之十的人口在其一生中会得胃溃疡。故A 为正确答案。
    文章前两段只是说医生们找到了一种引发胃溃疡的病因,但并没有提及发现这种病因 耗费的时间或者过程。故C为正确答案。
    由文章第二段的倒数第六句“Now they have discovered that most ulcers are caused by a bacterial organism called Hillico Bactor Pilorie or H Pilorie.”可知,现在医生们发现胃溃疡是一种 细菌导致的,这是医生对胃溃疡病因理解的改变。故A为正确答案。
    借助常识和背景知识判断该句的说法正确,所以答案可能为“正确”或“没提到”。借助 题干中的特征词stomach cancer作为答案线索词,这样在第2段的结尾部分找到答案相关句 (They also believe curing ulcers will reduce the number of people who develop stomach cancer.他们 相信治愈溃疡能够减少胃癌的认输),确认题干句的说法正确。
    借助题干中的spicy food作为答案线索词,发现文章中根本没有谈到spicy food,所以判 断该题的说法为“没提到”。

    Brain-dead Mother Dies after Giving Birth

    A brain-dead woman who was kept alive for three months so she could deliver the child
    she was carrying was removed from life support on Wednesday and died,a day after giving
    birth.
    "This is obviously a bittersweet time for our family,"Justin Torres,the woman's
    brother-in-law,said in a statement.
    Susan Torres,a cancer-stricken,26-year-old researcher at the National Institutes of
    Health,suffered a stroke in May after the melanoma(黑瘤)spread to her brain.
    Her family decided to keep her alive to give her foetus(胎儿)a chance. It became a
    race between the foetus' development and the cancer that was destroying the woman's
    body.
    Doctors said that Torres' health was getting worse and that the risk of harm to the foetus
    finally outweighed the benefits of extending the pregnancy.
    Torres gave birth to a daughter by Caesarean section(剖腹产手术)on Tuesday at
    Virginia Hospital Center.The baby was two months premature and weighed about a
    kilogram.She was in the newborn intensive care unit.
    Dr. Donna Tilden-Archer , the hospital's director of neonatology(新生儿学),described
    the child as"very vigorous".She said the baby had responded when she received
    stimulation,indicating she was healthy.
    Doctors removed Torres from life support early Wednesday with the consent of her
    husband , Jason Torres , after she received the final sacrament(圣礼)of the Roman
    Catholic Church.
    "We thank all of those who prayed and provided support for Susan,the baby and our
    family,"Jason Torres said in a statement."We especially thank God for giving us little
    Susan.My wife's courage will never be forgotten."
    English-language medical}iterature contains at least 11 cases since 1 979 of irreversibly
    brain-damaged women whose lives were prolonged for the benefit of the developing foetus,
    according to the University of Connecticut Health Center.
    Dr.Christopher McManus,who coordinated care for Susan Torres,put the infant's
    chances of developing cancer at less than 25 per cent.He said 19 women who have had the
    same aggressive form of melanoma as Torres have given birth,and five of their
    babies became ill with the disease.

    The pregnancy was stopped because
    A: the foetus was found seriously ill.
    B:the risks outweighed the benefits.
    C: there was no hope to rescue the foetus.
    D: the Torres family couldn't afford the expenses any more.

    答案:B
    解析:

  • 第18题:

    The doctors tried their best to save the patient's life,__failed.

    A.or
    B.so
    C.but
    D.because

    答案:C
    解析:
    此题考查连词的使用。根据句意,上下文是转折关系,所以选C。医生们尽力挽救,但还是失败了。

  • 第19题:

    The doctors have abandoned the hope to rescue the old man.

    A:left
    B:given up
    C:turned down
    D:refused

    答案:B
    解析:
    本句话的意思:医生已经放弃了挽救那位老人的希望。abandon意为“放弃”。 give up意为“放弃”,如:She gave up her job to look after her sick mother.为了照顾有病的母亲,她放弃了工作。turn down意为“不接受”,如:The company turned down the suggestion of shorter hours.公司否决了缩短工作时间的建议。refuse意为“拒绝,不接受”,如:He refused bribe.他拒绝了贿赂。

  • 第20题:

    The doctors have abandoned the hope to rescue the old man.

    A:left
    B:given up
    C:turned down
    D:refused

    答案:B
    解析:
    本句意思:医生们已经放弃了救治那个老人的希望。abandon意为“放弃”,与give up(放弃)意思相近。leave留下;turn down拒绝;refuse拒绝。

    It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
    A

    doctors do not agree on how to deal with anger

    B

    repressing anger is better than expressing it

    C

    expressing anger causes more problems to one’s health

    D

    the author does not agree with the doctors


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    第五段第一句否定了B,文中未提及C,D不符合题意。正确选项是A,其主要依据在第四段,尤其是第四句中的“disputed”一词。

  • 第22题:

    单选题
    Patients are now advised to ______.
    A

    monitor the hours of doctors by themselves

    B

    make sure that the doctors who treat them have had enough sleep

    C

    ask for legal control of the hours of doctors

    D

    allow their doctors to sleep several hours before the operation


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    考查对最后一段最后一句话的理解。最后一段意思是“美国对飞行员和卡车司机的工作时间有限制。但是若医生也有工作时间限制的话病人就没人照顾了。如果你对给你或是你爱的人治病的医生不放心的话,你可以尽管问问他们睡了几个小时或者问问还有没有睡眠更充足的医生。”最后一句话建议读者看病的时候问问医生睡了多少个小时。实际上就是 “make sure that the doctors who treat them have had enough sleep”,故B项对。

  • 第23题:

    单选题
    Scientists and doctors believed that “Lorenzo’s Oil” _____.
    A

    was really effective

    B

    was a success story

    C

    only worked in theory

    D

    would save the boy’s life


    正确答案: A
    解析:
    细节题。由关键词“Lorenzo Oil”定位到第三段倒数第三句,“尽管结果很好,但是科学家和医生们并不信服。他们认为这缺少证据,只是在理论上可行”。就是说这种药只是一个理论,C项属于直接引用,为正确选项。A项偷换概念。“确实有效”虽然是一种事实,但并不是科学家的观点。B项虽是事实,但却不是科学家和医生的观点。D项在文中没有提到。
