参考答案和解析
正确答案:B
 本题考查根据上下文选择恰当的词。空格所在部分是一个比喻,说明卡车像什么。下文出现了两个when引导的状语从句的比较:路面干燥时的行驶速度为6070,而此时的行驶速度为2530。可见,文章在说明由于路面滑造成了行驶速度下降。根据逻辑推理,行驶缓慢时从大卡车旁开过花费的时间当然较长,因此它们看起来更像giants“巨人”,而不是dwarfs“矮子”,patients“病人”或princesses“公主”。因此[B]正确。

  • 第2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.

    D). are at the same speed as before

    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

    C

    the rationality for diabetes patients to refuse medication.

    D

    C

    reduce drug dosages for their patients

    D

    prolong the needless suffering of the patients


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    细节题。George Annas在最后一段第二句提到:“Large numbers of physicians seem unconcerned with the pain their patients are needlessly and predictably suffering, to the extent that it constitutes ‘systematic patient abuse’”,很多医生似乎对可以预见到的、病人不必遭受的痛苦漠不关心,以至于构成“蓄意虐待病人”。最后一句还提到,行医执照的颁发机构必须明确一点,让病人痛苦地死去可能是失职行为导致的,应当吊销其行医执照。由此可见,延长病人不必要的痛苦,医生会受到惩罚。

    A

    正确答案:
    解析:
    观点态度的理解和判断。录音中指出没有无数护士的帮助,医生们不能为患者提供有效的医疗照顾,接着讲话者提到护士对于患者来说尤为重要,因为在住院期间护士通常与他们有密切的接触。并未提到题干所描述的“在医院里,护士通常比医生对患者态度更和蔼和更友好”的内容。因此,该题表述有误。
    【录音原文】
    The physicians in a hospital form the core of the medical staff. But they could not provide effective medical care to their patients without the help of numerous nurses. For the patients, the nursing staff is particularly important. Nurses are usually in close contact with patients as long as they are in the hospital.

    答案:C
    [试题分析] 文章细节事实题。
    [详细解答] 题干要求考生根据全文判断哪个选项是正确的表述。四个选项如下:A选项“如果医生冒病人死亡的风险,他将被认为有罪”与原文意思相反。第五段首句谈到,只要医生开的药物是用于正当的医疗目的(legitimate medical purpose),他就没有做违法的事情,即使病人用这些药物来加速死亡。选项中“hold sb.(to be)”意为“认为、相信某人怎样”。B选项“现代医学一直在帮助那些临死的病人进行无痛康复”与原文不符,第六段提到,引起病人绝望的原因是现代医学一直只能延长他们死亡时的肉体痛苦。C选项“法院判决,医生可以开出大剂量的镇痛药物”是正确选项,因为第二段提到,法院对“双重效果”的医疗原则表示了支持,而第三段又提到,近年来医生一直使用这个原则为他们使用大剂量吗啡进行辩护。可见,法院是支持医生用大剂量镇痛药物的。D选项“医生开的药物合不合法不再取决于他们的意图”与原文意思相反,第四段末句提到,如果你是医生,你可以冒病人自杀的风险,只要你不是想要他们自杀。

    Promising Results From Cancer Study

    A new experimental vaccine(疫苗)has shown promising results in the fight against lung cancer. In a
    small Texas-based study,a vaccine developed by scientists at Baylor University Medical Centre in Dallas,
    USA,cured lung cancer in some patients and slowed the progress of the disease in others.
    Researchers have reported encouraging findings from this small study.Forty-three patients suffering from
    lung cancer were involved in these trials.Ten of these patients were in the early stages and thirty-three in the
    advanced stages of the disease.They were injected with the vaccine every two weeks for three months,and
    were carefully monitored for three years.In three of the patients in the advanced stages of cancer,the disease
    disappeared and in the others,it did not spread for five to twenty-four months.However,no great difference
    was seen in the patients in the early stages of the illness.
    This new vaccine uses the patient's own immune system.It is made specifically for each patient and is
    injected into the arm or leg. It stimulates(刺激)the body' s immune system, which then recognizes that the
    cancer cells are harmful,and attacks and destroys them.
    The vaccine could be effective against other forms of cancer. It offers great hope for the treatment of
    cancer in general,although further studies are needed before such treatment can be widely used.

    Patients in the early stages of the disease recovered more quickly in the trial.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:B
    解析:
    题意:该疫苗治愈了参加试验的所有患者。文章第一段最后一句话“cured lung cancer in some patients and slowed the progress of the disease in others.”意思是有些患者被治愈了,有些 是病情得到缓解,由此可判断题干叙述错误。故木题选B。
    题意:超过四十人参加了这个试验。根据文章第二段第二句“Forty-three patients suffer- ing from lung cancer were involved in these trials.”可知,参加实验的有43人,所以题干叙述正 确,故本题选A。
    题意:试验中,处十癌症早期的患者恢复的更快。根据文章第二段最后两句“In three of the patients in the advanced stages of cancer,the disease disappeared and in the others,it did not spread for five to twenty-four months.However,no great difference was seen in the patients in theearly stages of the illness.”可知,癌症晚期的患者注射疫苗后有很大变化,癌症早期的没有多大起色,所以题干叙述错误,故本题选B。
    文章中说科学家做实验的地点在Dallas,没有提及病人来自哪里,故选C。
    题意:每个患者注射的都是一样的疫苗。从第三段的前两句话“This new vaccine uses the patient's own immune system.It is made specifically for each patient and is injected into the arm or leg.”可知,每支疫苗都是根据患者的免疫系统研究出来的,所以疫苗是不同的,因此答 案选择B。
    由文章第三段最后一句话“It stimulates the body' s immune system, which then recognizes that the cancer cells are harmful, and attacks and destroys them.”可知,这种疫苗会刺激身体里的 免疫系统,然后免疫系统辨认出身体里的有害癌细胞,攻击并摧毁它们。题干中activate的意 思是“激活”,与此句意思相符。故选A。
    题意:疫苗可能能够在治疗其他癌症上发挥作用。根据文章最后一段第一句“The vac-cine could be effective against other forms of cancer.”可知,题干叙述正确,故本题选A。第3部分:概括大意与完成句子

    New Attempts to Eradicate AIDS Virus

    A high-profile attempt to eradicate the AIDS virus in a few patients continues to show promise.
    But researchers won't know for a year or more whether it will work,scientist David Ho told journalists
    here Wednesday for the Fourth Conference on Viruses and Infections.
    "This is a study that's in progress,"says Ho,head of the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center,
    New York.
    The study involves 20 people who started combinations of anti-HIV drugs very early in the course of the
    disease,within 90 days of their infections.They'ye been treated for up to 18 months.Four others have
    dropped out because of side effects or problems complying with the exacting drug system.
    The drugs have knocked the AIDS virus down to undetectable levels in the blood of all remaining
    patients.And,in the latest development,scientists have now tested lymph nodes and semen from a few
    patients and found no virus reproducing there,Ho says."Bear in mind that undetectable does not equal
    absent,"Ho says.
    Ho has calculated that the drugs should be able to wipe out remaining viruses一at least from known
    reservoirs throughout the body—in two to three years.But the only way to prove eradication would be to stop
    the drugs and see if the virus comes back.On Wednesday,Ho said he wouldn't ask any patient to consider
    that step before 2(1/2)years of treatment.
    And he emphasized that he is not urging widespread adoption of such early,aggressive treatment outside
    of trials.No one knows the long-term risks.
    But other scientists are looking at similar experiments.A federally funded study will put 300 patients on
    triple-drug treatments and then see if some responding well after six months can continue to suppress the
    virus on just one or two drugs,says researcher Douglas Richman of the University of California,San Diego.
    Some patients in that study also may be offered the chance to stop therapy after 1 8 months or more,he says.

    Which is NOT true about Ho's study?
    A:20 patients were involved in the study.
    B:The patients have used several anti-HIV drugs.
    C:16 patients withdrew from the experiment.
    D:The patients have been treated for up to 1 8months.

    答案:C
    解析:
    由文章第一段可知,消灭艾滋病病毒的努力依然有着乐观的前景,故选C。
    由文章第四段最后一句“Four others have dropped out because of side effects or problems complying with the existing drug system.”可知,有4位病人从治疗计划中退出,因为当前的治疗 计划对他们产生了副作用或者其他问题,故选C。
    由文章第五段的内容可知,检测不到艾滋病病毒并不等于它不存在,即艾滋病病毒可 能是检测不到,但是它还可能隐藏在人体中,故选A。
    由文章第六段第二句“But the only way to prove eradication would be to stop the drugs and see if the virus comes back.”可知,证明所用的药物确实消灭了艾滋病病毒的唯一方法就是先 停药一段时间,然后看病毒是否会重新肆虐,故选D。
    由文章的最后三段内容可知,在David Ho的研究中,要确认残余的艾滋病病毒已被药 物消灭的话,需要2一3年的时间。在最后一段中一项由联邦政府资助的研究将测试时间限定 在6个月;一些病人可能在约18个月后停止治疗,故选D。第二篇 本篇文章主要讲述的是不丹王国的国王采用国民幸福指数(GNH)来衡量国家的进步,以及 此举带来的影响。
