    Alcoholism
    1 .Yes,alcoholism can be treated. Alcoholism treatment programs use both counseling and medication(药物治疗)to help a person stop drinking. Most alcoholics need help to recover from their disease. With support and treatment,many people are able to stop drinking and rebuild their lives.
    2. A range of medication is used to treat alcoholism. Benzodiazepines(苯二氮平类药物) are sometimes used during the first days after a person stops drinking to help him or her safely withdraw from alcohol. However,these medications are not used beyond the first few days because they may be highly addictive. Other medications help people remain sober(清醒). One medication used for this purpose is naltrexone(环丙甲经二经吗啡酮) . When combined with counseling,naltrexone can reduce the strong desire for alcohol and help prevent a person from returning to heavy drinking. Another medication, disulfiram(戒酒硫),discourages drinking by making the person feel sick if he or she drinks alcohol. Though several medications help treat alcoholism,there is no“magic bullet”.Developing new and more effective medications to treat alcoholism remains a high priority for researchers.
    3 .Alcoholism treatment works for many people. But just like any chronic disease,there are different levels of success in treatment.Some people stop drinking and remain sober. Others cannot stop drinking for any length of time. With treatment,one thing is clear,however,the longer a person stops drinking alcohol,the more likely he or she will be able to stay sober.
    4 .No,alcoholism cannot be cured at this time. Even if an alcoholic hasn't been drinking for a long time,he or she can still return to the drinking habit.To guard against it,an alcoholic must continue to avoid all alcoholic drinks.

    For alcoholism treatment,there is no single medication that works______.
    A: stay confused
    B: alcoholic drinks
    C: medical treatment
    D: feel sick
    E: in every person
    F: stop drinking

    答案:E
    解析:
    第一段的第一句为主旨句:“酗酒可以被治疗了。”以此判断F项Can Alco-holism Be Treated? (酗酒可以被治疗吗?)正确。要注意的是,C项中的cure是治愈的意思,第一段还没有提及治疗效果,所以此题不能选C。
    第二段的第一句为主旨句:“治疗酗酒的用药范围很广泛。”由此可见此段主要在说medication(药物治疗),所以What Medications Treat Alcoholism? 正确。故选A。
    第三段的第一句:“酗酒治疗对很多人管用。”这与D项是相呼应的,D项 Does Alcoholism Treatment Work?(酗酒治疗管用吗?)很适合来概括此段。故选D。
    第三段的第一句为主旨句:“不,现在还不能完全治愈酗酒。”这就讲到治疗效果了,所以要选C项。
    题干意为“药物治疗可以帮助一些人……。”从文章的题目和上面四个小题我们可以看出,全文在讲酗酒治疗的话题,所以本题很明显要选F,药物治疗可以帮助一些人戒酒。
    题干意为“戒酒硫可以通过使嗜酒者……来不喝酒。”disulfiram是关键字,文中第二段倒数第三句“Another medication, disulfiram(戒酒硫),discourages drinking by making the person feel sick if he or she drinks alcohol.”给出了本题的答案,feel sick。故选D。
    题干意为“酗酒治疗,没有一种药可以保证……。”第二段最后两句“Though several medications help treat alcoholism, there is no ‘magic bullet'... ”, magic bullet是俚语,为灵丹妙药的意思。这说明没有一种药可以对个人酗酒药到病除,而科学家们还需开发更有效的新药。所以此题选E。
    题干意为“治愈酗酒的关键是避免……。”文章最后一句给出了治疗酗酒的关键:“To guard against it, an alcoholic must continue to avoid all alcoholic drinks.”不再接触酒精饮料是戒酒的关键。所以此题选B。

    Exercise can Replace Insulin for Elderly Diabetics
    Most older people with so-called type Ⅱ diabetes could stop taking insulin if they would do brisk exercise for 30 minutes just three times a week,according to new medical research results reported in the Copenhagen newspaper Berlin gske Tidende on Monday.
    Results from tests conducted on diabetics at the Copenhagen Central Hospital Rigshospitalet's Center for Muscle Research showed that physical exercise can boost the body's ability to utilise insulin by 30 percent,the newspaper reported.
    This is equal to the effect most elderly diabetics get from their insulin medication today, it said.
    Researchers had a group of non-diabetic men and a group of men with type Ⅱ,all more than 60 years of age,exercise on bicycles six times a week for three months.After the three months the doctors measured how much sugar the test subjects'muscles could utilise as a measure for how well their insulin worked.
    Associate Professor Dr. Hemming Dela of the Muscle Research Center said the tests demonstrated that the exercising diabetics had just as high insulin utilisation as the healthy non一exercising persons.
    “This means that the insulin works just as well for both groups.Physical exercise cannot cure people of diabetes,but it can eliminate almost all their symptoms. At the same time it can put off the point at which they have to begin taking insulin or perhaps completely avoid insulin treatment,”Dela was quoted as saying.
    Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas,controlling sugar in the body and used against diabetes.
    Dela said that to achieve the desired effect diabetics need only exercise to the point where they begin to work up a sweat,but that the activity has to be maintained since it wears off after five days without sufficient exercise.
    Most diabetics realise that they have to watch their diet while remaining unaware of the importance of exercise,Dela added.

    The subjects of the research tests conducted at the Copenhagen Central Hospital included______.
    A: elderly non-diabetic men
    B: elderly type Ⅱ diabetic men
    C: both sexes of all ages
    D: both A and B

    答案:D
    解析:
    题干意为“大多数上了年纪的Ⅱ型糖尿病患者怎样才能停止使用胰岛素?” 短文标题直接点明了短文的主题——老年糖尿病患者可以通过体育锻炼来取代胰岛素治疗,因此与体育运动相关的选项C和选项D可能是答案。比较这两个选项:C项“通过每周三次轻快的体育锻炼,每次30分钟”,D项“通过每年爬山,游泳或拳击”,依据常识,老年人不适合做拳击运动,因此答案可能是选项C。其实短文第一段就是该问题设置的依据,第一段提到“一则最新医疗研究结果称,大多数Ⅱ型老年糖尿病患者只要每周坚持三次轻快的体育锻炼,每次30分钟,就可以不用注射胰岛素”。由此可以进一步确认答案为C。
    题干意为“体育锻炼可以把身体利用胰岛素的能力提高多少?”利用题干中的细节信息短语physical exercise, body ability作为定位线索,备选项中出现了大量的数字,也利用备选项中的数字作为定位线索,这样在短文第二段中找到相关句:Results from tests conducted on diabetics at the Copenhagen Central Hospital Rigshospitalet's Center for Muscle Research showed'hat physical exercise can boost the body's ability to utilise insulin by 30 percent, the newspaper reported.该句提到“报道称,哥本哈根中心医院Rigshospitalet肌肉研究中心对糖尿病人进行测试,结果显示体育锻炼能将身体利用胰岛素的能力提高30%”。由此答案为B项。
    题干意为“在哥本哈根中心医院进行的研究实验所涉及到的研究对象包 括……”。利用题干中的细节信息词/短语subjects,research tests, Copenhagen Central Hos-pital作为定位线索,在第四段中找到相关句:Researchers(指上文中提到的哥本哈根研究中心 的研究人员)had a group of non-diabetic men and a group of men with type Ⅱ ,all more than 60 years of age,exercise on bicycles six times a week for three months.After the three months the doctors measured how much sugar the test subjects'muscles could utilise as a measure for how well their insulin worked,第四段第一句提到“研究人员挑选了一组非糖尿病患者,一组Ⅱ型糖尿病患者,都在60岁以上的男性。这些人每周骑自行车锻炼六次,并持续三个月”。由此可知答案为D项“老年非糖尿病男性和老年Ⅱ型糖尿病男性患者”。

    Text 4 Consuming high-quality plant foods such as whole grains,fruits,vegetables,nuts and legumes may substantially lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes,researchers including one of Indian-origin have claimed."This study highlights that even moderate dietary changes in the direction of a healthful plant-based diet can play a significant role in the prevention of type 2 diabetes,"said Ambika Satija from Harvard T.H.Chan School of Public Health in the US."These findings provide further evidence to support current dietary recommendations for chronic disease prevention,"she said.While previous studies have found links between vegetarian diets and improved health outcomes,including reduced risk of type 2 diabetes,this new study is the first to make distinctions between healthy plant-based diets and less healthy ones that include things like sweetened foods and beverages,which may be detrimental for health.The study also considered the effect of including some animal foods in the diet.Researchers followed more than 200,000 male and female health professionals in the US for more than 20 years who had regularly filled out questionnaires on their diet,lifestyle,medical history,and ncw disease diagnoses as part of three large long-term studies.They evaluated participants'diets using a plant-based diet index in which they assigned plant-derived foods higher scores and animal-derived foods lower scores.The study found that high adherence to a plant-based diet that was low in animal foods was associated with a 20 percent reduced risk of type 2 diabetes compared with low adherence to such a diet,researchers said.Eating a healthy version of a plant-based diet was linked with a 34 per cent lower diabetes risk,while a less healthy version-including foods such as refrned grains,potatoes,and sugar-sweetened beverages-was linked with a 16 per cent increased risk,they said.Even modestly lowering animal food consumption-for example,from 5-6 servings per day to about 4 servings per day-was linked with lower diabetes incidence,the study found."A shift to a dietary pattern higher in healthful plant-based foods,such as vegetables,fruits,whole grains,legumes,nuts,and seeds,and lower in animal-based foods,especially red and processed meats,can confer substantial health benefits in reducing risk of type 2 diabetes,"said Frank Hu from Harvard Chan School.Researchers suggest that healthful plant-based diets could be lowering type 2 diabetes risk because such diets are high in fiber,antioxidants,unsaturated fatty acids,and micronutrients such as magnesium,and are low in saturated fat.Healthy plant foods may also be contributing to a healthy gut microbiome,they said.
    From the new study,we can infer that_____

    A.sweet fruit juice and beverages are beneficial to our health
    B.animal foods should not be included in our diet for the sake of health
    C.fried potatoes are healthy food comparing with animal foods
    D.eating less meat is helpful to reduce the diabetes incidence

    解析:
    题干意为“大多数上了年纪的Ⅱ型糖尿病患者怎样才能停止使用胰岛素?” 短文标题直接点明了短文的主题——老年糖尿病患者可以通过体育锻炼来取代胰岛素治疗,因此与体育运动相关的选项C和选项D可能是答案。比较这两个选项:C项“通过每周三次轻快的体育锻炼,每次30分钟”,D项“通过每年爬山,游泳或拳击”,依据常识,老年人不适合做拳击运动,因此答案可能是选项C。其实短文第一段就是该问题设置的依据,第一段提到“一则最新医疗研究结果称,大多数Ⅱ型老年糖尿病患者只要每周坚持三次轻快的体育锻炼,每次30分钟,就可以不用注射胰岛素”。由此可以进一步确认答案为C。
    题干意为“体育锻炼可以把身体利用胰岛素的能力提高多少?”利用题干中的细节信息短语physical exercise, body ability作为定位线索,备选项中出现了大量的数字,也利用备选项中的数字作为定位线索,这样在短文第二段中找到相关句:Results from tests conducted on diabetics at the Copenhagen Central Hospital Rigshospitalet's Center for Muscle Research showed'hat physical exercise can boost the body's ability to utilise insulin by 30 percent, the newspaper reported.该句提到“报道称,哥本哈根中心医院Rigshospitalet肌肉研究中心对糖尿病人进行测试,结果显示体育锻炼能将身体利用胰岛素的能力提高30%”。由此答案为B项。
    题干意为“在哥本哈根中心医院进行的研究实验所涉及到的研究对象包 括……”。利用题干中的细节信息词/短语subjects,research tests, Copenhagen Central Hos-pital作为定位线索,在第四段中找到相关句:Researchers(指上文中提到的哥本哈根研究中心 的研究人员)had a group of non-diabetic men and a group of men with type Ⅱ ,all more than 60 years of age,exercise on bicycles six times a week for three months.After the three months the doctors measured how much sugar the test subjects'muscles could utilise as a measure for how well their insulin worked,第四段第一句提到“研究人员挑选了一组非糖尿病患者,一组Ⅱ型糖尿病患者,都在60岁以上的男性。这些人每周骑自行车锻炼六次,并持续三个月”。由此可知答案为D项“老年非糖尿病男性和老年Ⅱ型糖尿病男性患者”。

    Most diabetics realise that they have to watch their diet while remaining unaware of the importance of exercise,Dela added.

    Physical exercise may increase the body ability to utilise insulin by______.
    A: 70 percent
    B: 30 percent
    C: 60 percent
    D: only a few percent

    答案:B
    解析:
    题干意为“大多数上了年纪的Ⅱ型糖尿病患者怎样才能停止使用胰岛素?” 短文标题直接点明了短文的主题——老年糖尿病患者可以通过体育锻炼来取代胰岛素治疗,因此与体育运动相关的选项C和选项D可能是答案。比较这两个选项:C项“通过每周三次轻快的体育锻炼,每次30分钟”,D项“通过每年爬山,游泳或拳击”,依据常识,老年人不适合做拳击运动,因此答案可能是选项C。其实短文第一段就是该问题设置的依据,第一段提到“一则最新医疗研究结果称,大多数Ⅱ型老年糖尿病患者只要每周坚持三次轻快的体育锻炼,每次30分钟,就可以不用注射胰岛素”。由此可以进一步确认答案为C。
    题干意为“体育锻炼可以把身体利用胰岛素的能力提高多少?”利用题干中的细节信息短语physical exercise, body ability作为定位线索,备选项中出现了大量的数字,也利用备选项中的数字作为定位线索,这样在短文第二段中找到相关句:Results from tests conducted on diabetics at the Copenhagen Central Hospital Rigshospitalet's Center for Muscle Research showed'hat physical exercise can boost the body's ability to utilise insulin by 30 percent, the newspaper reported.该句提到“报道称,哥本哈根中心医院Rigshospitalet肌肉研究中心对糖尿病人进行测试,结果显示体育锻炼能将身体利用胰岛素的能力提高30%”。由此答案为B项。
    题干意为“在哥本哈根中心医院进行的研究实验所涉及到的研究对象包 括……”。利用题干中的细节信息词/短语subjects,research tests, Copenhagen Central Hos-pital作为定位线索,在第四段中找到相关句:Researchers(指上文中提到的哥本哈根研究中心 的研究人员)had a group of non-diabetic men and a group of men with type Ⅱ ,all more than 60 years of age,exercise on bicycles six times a week for three months.After the three months the doctors measured how much sugar the test subjects'muscles could utilise as a measure for how well their insulin worked,第四段第一句提到“研究人员挑选了一组非糖尿病患者,一组Ⅱ型糖尿病患者,都在60岁以上的男性。这些人每周骑自行车锻炼六次,并持续三个月”。由此可知答案为D项“老年非糖尿病男性和老年Ⅱ型糖尿病男性患者”。

    Text 4 Consuming high-quality plant foods such as whole grains,fruits,vegetables,nuts and legumes may substantially lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes,researchers including one of Indian-origin have claimed."This study highlights that even moderate dietary changes in the direction of a healthful plant-based diet can play a significant role in the prevention of type 2 diabetes,"said Ambika Satija from Harvard T.H.Chan School of Public Health in the US."These findings provide further evidence to support current dietary recommendations for chronic disease prevention,"she said.While previous studies have found links between vegetarian diets and improved health outcomes,including reduced risk of type 2 diabetes,this new study is the first to make distinctions between healthy plant-based diets and less healthy ones that include things like sweetened foods and beverages,which may be detrimental for health.The study also considered the effect of including some animal foods in the diet.Researchers followed more than 200,000 male and female health professionals in the US for more than 20 years who had regularly filled out questionnaires on their diet,lifestyle,medical history,and ncw disease diagnoses as part of three large long-term studies.They evaluated participants'diets using a plant-based diet index in which they assigned plant-derived foods higher scores and animal-derived foods lower scores.The study found that high adherence to a plant-based diet that was low in animal foods was associated with a 20 percent reduced risk of type 2 diabetes compared with low adherence to such a diet,researchers said.Eating a healthy version of a plant-based diet was linked with a 34 per cent lower diabetes risk,while a less healthy version-including foods such as refrned grains,potatoes,and sugar-sweetened beverages-was linked with a 16 per cent increased risk,they said.Even modestly lowering animal food consumption-for example,from 5-6 servings per day to about 4 servings per day-was linked with lower diabetes incidence,the study found."A shift to a dietary pattern higher in healthful plant-based foods,such as vegetables,fruits,whole grains,legumes,nuts,and seeds,and lower in animal-based foods,especially red and processed meats,can confer substantial health benefits in reducing risk of type 2 diabetes,"said Frank Hu from Harvard Chan School.Researchers suggest that healthful plant-based diets could be lowering type 2 diabetes risk because such diets are high in fiber,antioxidants,unsaturated fatty acids,and micronutrients such as magnesium,and are low in saturated fat.Healthy plant foods may also be contributing to a healthy gut microbiome,they said.
    The author's attitude towards refined grains is_____.

    A.supportive
    B.indifferent
    C.negative
    D.critical

    答案:C
    解析:
    态度方向题。第六段第一句提到,“而不太健康的植物性饮食方式——包括精制谷物、土豆和含糖饮料在内的各种食物——反而可能把这个风险升高I6%”,可知精制谷物对健康有害,故作者对精制谷物的态度是否定的,故C项为正确选项。【干扰排除】作者提到精制谷物不是健康的,所以A项错误;作者态度是否定的,所以B项错误;D项作者并没有批判,只是表明了否定的态度,所以D项错误。

    What Is Insulin-dependent Diabetes?
    When you eat,your body takes the sugar from food and turns it into fuel.______(46)Your body uses glucose for energy,so it can do everything from breathing air to playing a video game.But glucose can't be used by the body on its own-it needs a hormone called insulin to bring it into the cells of the body.
    Most people get the insulin they need from the pancreas,a large organ near the stomach?The pancreas makes insulin;insulin brings glucose into the cells;and the body gets the energy it needs.When a person has insulin一dependent diabetes,it's because the pancreas is not making insulin.So someone could be eating lots of food and getting all the glucose he needs,but without insulin,there is no way for the body to use the glucose for energy.______(47)
    You may have heard older people talk about having diabetes,maybe people of your grandparents'age.Usually,this is a different kind of diabetes called non一insulin一dependent diabetes.It can also be called Type 2 diabetes,or adult-onset diabetes.______(48)
    When a kid is diagnosed with juvenile(insulin-dependent)diabetes,he will have that type of diabetes for his whole life.It won't ever change to non-insulin-dependent diabetes when he gets older.
    Scientists now think that a person who has juvenile diabetes was born with a certain gene or genes that made the person more likely to get the illness.______(49)
    Many scientists believe that along with having certain genes,something else outside the person's body, like a viral infection,is necessary to set the diabetes in motion by affecting the cells in the pancreas that make insulin.
    But the person must have the gene(or genes)for diabetes to start' out with一this means you can't get diabetes just from catching a flu,virus,or cold.And this type of diabetes isn't caused by eating too many sugary foods,either.Diabetes can take a long time to develop in a person's body-sometimes months or years?Another important thing to remember is that diabetes is not contagious.______(50)

    ______(47)
    A:Genes are something that you inherit from your parents,and they are in your body even before you're born.
    B:This sugar-fuel is called glucose?
    C:It may be possible to beat insulin resistance through lifestyle changes.
    D:You can't catch diabetes from people who have it,no matter how close you sit to them or if you kiss them.
    E:The glucose can't get into the cells of the body without insulin.
    F:When a person has this kind of diabetes,the pancreas usually can still make insulin,but the person's body needs more than the pancreas can make?

    答案:E
    解析:
    文章第一句所讲的内容是当人进食时,身体会从食物中摄取糖分,并把它转化为燃料。B项是对这种燃料的解释,且空白处后的句子中又出现了B项中的名词glucose。故此处选B。
    此空处之前的内容提到,如果一个人患上了胰岛素依赖型糖尿病,虽然其通过大量进食获取了所需的全部葡萄糖,但如果没有胰岛素的参与,身体就不能通过利用这些葡萄糖来获得能量。选项E的内容和此处为顺承关系,故选E。
    上一段指出胰岛素依赖型糖尿病患者的胰腺无法分泌胰岛素,本段此空处之前的内容提到了非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病,并指出它不同于胰岛素依赖型糖尿病。故此空处应详细介绍此种类型的糖尿病。F项符合文意。
    此空处之前的内容是患有青少年糖尿病的人带有先天性的易患此病的基因。A项介绍基因的概念,比较各个选项,可知本题选A。
    此空处之前陈述的内容是糖尿病不具有传染性。D项的内容和此处是承接关系,进一步说明其不具有传染性。故本题选D。
