考研英语阅读理解模拟题及答案:医学类(26套)

考研英语阅读理解模拟题及答案:医学类(26套)Valeta Young, 81, a retiree from Lodi, Calif., suffers from congestive heart failure and requires almost constant monitoring. But she doesn't have to drive anywhere to get it. Twice a day she steps onto a special electronic scale, answers a few yes or no questions via push buttons on a small attached monitor and presses a button that sends the information to a nurse's station in San Antonio, Texas. “It's almost a direct link to my doctor,” says Young, who describes herself as computer illiterate but says she has no problems using the equipment.Young is not the only patient who is dealing with her doctor from a distance. Remote monitoring is a rapidly growing field in medical technology, with more than 25 firms competing to measure remotely——and transmit by phone, Internet or through the airwaves——everything from patients' heart rates to how often they cough.Prompted both by the rise in health-care costs and the increasing computerization of health-care equipment, doctors are using remote monitoring to track a widening variety of chronic diseases. In March, St. Francis University in Pittsburgh, Pa., partnered with a company called BodyMedia on a study in which rural diabetes patients use wireless glucose meters and armband sensors to monitor their disease. And last fall, Yahoo began offering subscribers the ability to chart their asthma conditions online, using a PDA-size respiratory monitor that measures lung functions in real time and e-mails the data directly to doctors.Such home monitoring, says Dr. George Dailey, a physician at the Scripps Clinic in San Diego,“could someday replace less productive ways that patients track changes in their heart rate, blood sugar, lipid levels, kidney functions and even vision.”Dr. Timothy Moore, executive vice president of Alere Medical, which produces the smart scales that Young and more than 10,000 other patients are using, says that almost any vital sign could, in theory, be monitored from home. But, he warns,that might not always make good medical sense. He advises against performing electrocardiograms remotely, for example, and although he acknowledges that remote monitoring of blood-sugar levels and diabetic ulcers on the skin may have real value,he points out that there are no truly independent studies that establish the value of home testing for diabetes or asthma.Such studies are needed because the technology is still in its infancy and medical experts are divided about its value. But on one thing they all agree: you should never rely on any remote testing system without clearing it with your doctor.注(1):本文选自Time;8/9/2004, p101-101, 1/2p, 2c;注(2):本文习题命题模仿对象2004年真题text 1;1. How does Young monitor her health conditions?[A] By stepping on an electronic scale.[B] By answering a few yes or no questions.[C] By using remote monitoring service.[D] By establishing a direct link to her doctor.2. Which of the following is not used in remote monitoring?[A] car[B] telephone[C] Internet[D] the airwaves3. The word “prompted” (Line 1, Paragraph 3) most probably means ________.[A] made[B] reminded[C] aroused[D] driven4. Why is Dr. Timothy Moore against performing electrocardiograms remotely?[A] Because it is a less productive way of monitoring.[B] Because it doesn‘t make good medical sense.[C] Because it‘s value has not been proved by scientific study[D] Because it is not allowed by doctors5. Which of the following is true according to the text?[A] Computer illiterate is advised not to use remote monitoring.[B] The development of remote monitoring market is rather sluggish.[C] Remote monitoring is mainly used to track chronic diseases.[D] Medical experts agree on the value of remote monitoring.答案:CADBCDr. Wise Young has never met the hundreds of thousands of people he has helped in the past 10 years, and most of them have never heard of Wise Young. If they did meet him, however, they'd want to shake his hand——and the remarkable thing about that would be the simple fact that so many of them could. All the people Young has helped were victims of spinal injuries, and they owe much of the mobility they have today to his landmark work.Young, 51, head of the W.M. Keck Center for Collaborative Neuroscience at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N.J., was born on New Year's Day at the precise midpoint of the 20th century. Back then, the thinking about spinal-cord injury was straightforward: When a cord is damaged, it's damaged. There's nothing that can be done after an injury to restore the function that was so suddenly lost. As a medical student at Stanford University and a neurosurgeon at New York University Medical Center, Young never had much reason to question that received wisdom, but in 1980 he began to have his doubts. Spinal cords, he knew, experience progressive damage after they're injured, including swelling and inflammation, which may worsen the condition of the already damaged tissue. If that secondary insult could be relieved with drugs, might some function be preserved?Young spent a decade looking into the question, and in 1990 he co-led a landmark study showing that when high doses of a steroid known as methylprednisolone are administered within eight hours of an injury, about 20% of function can be saved. Twenty percent is hardly everything, but it can often be the difference between breathing unassisted or relying on a respirator, walking or spending one's life in a wheelchair. “This discovery led to a revolution in neuroprotective therapy,”Young says.A global revolution, actually. More than 50,000 people around the world suffer spinal injuries each year, and these days, methylprednisolone is the standard treatment in the U.S. and many other countries. But Young is still not satisfied. The drug is an elixir for people who are newly injured, but the relief it offers is only partial, and many spinal-injury victims were hurt before it became available. Young's dream is to help those people too——to restore function already lost——and to that end he is studying drugs and growth factors that could improve conduction in damaged nerves or even prod the development of new ones. To ensure that all the neural researchers around the world pull together, he has created the International Neurotrauma Society, founded the Journal of Neural Trauma and established a website () that receives thousands of hits each day.“The cure for spinal injury is going to be a combination of therapies,” Young says. “It's the most collaborative field I know.” Perhaps. But increasingly it seems that if the collaborators had a field general, his name would be Wise Young.注(1):本文选自Time;8/20/2001, p54;注(2):本文习题命题模仿对象2004年真题text 3;1. By “the remarkable thing about that would be the simple fact that so many of them could”(Line three, Paragraph 1), the author means_______________.[A] The remarkable thing is actually the simple fact.[B] Many people could do the remarkable things.[C] When meeting him, many people could do the simple but remarkable thing.[D] The remarkable thing lies in the simple fact that so many people could shake hands with him.2. How did people think of the spinal-cord injury at the middle of 20th century?[A] pessimistic[B] optimistic[C] confused[D] carefree3. By saying “Twenty percent is hardly everything”(Line 3, Paragraph 3),the author is talking about_____________.[A] the drug[B] the function of the injured body[C] the function of the drug[D] the injury4. Why was Young unsatisfied with his achievement?[A] The drug cannot help the people who had spinal injury in the past.[B] His treatment is standard.[C] The drug only offers help to a small number of people.[D] The drug only treats some parts of the injury.5. To which of the following statements is the author likely to agree?[A] Wise Young does not meet many people.[B] When Young was young, he did not have much reason to ask questions.[C] If there needs a head of the spinal-injured field, Young might be the right person.[D] Young‘s dream is only to help the persons who were injured at early times.答案:D A B A CScientists have known for more than two decades that cancer is a disease of the genes. Something scrambles the Dna inside a nucleus, and suddenly, instead of dividing in a measured fashion, a cell begins to copy itself furiously. Unlike an ordinary cell, it never stops. But describing the process isn't the same as figuring it out. Cancer cells are so radically different from normal ones that it's almost impossible to untangle the sequence of events that made them that way. So for years researchers have been attacking the problem by taking normal cells and trying to determine what changes will turn them cancerous——always without success.Until now. According to a report in the current issue of Nature, a team of scientists based at M.I.T.'s Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research has finally managed to make human cells malignant——a feat they accomplished with two different cell types by inserting just three altered genes into their DNA. While these manipulations were done only in lab dishes and won't lead to any immediate treatment,they appear to be a crucial step in understanding the disease. This is a “landmark paper,” wrote Jonathan Weitzman and Moshe Yaniv of the Pasteur Institute in Paris,in an accompanying commentary.The dramatic new result traces back to a breakthrough in 1983, when the Whitehead's Robert Weinberg and colleagues showed that mouse cells would become cancerous when spiked with two altered genes. But when they tried such alterations on human cells, they didn't work. Since then, scientists have learned that mouse cells differ from human cells in an important respect: they have higher levels of an enzyme called telomerase. That enzyme keeps caplike structures called telomeres on the ends of chromosomes from getting shorter with each round of cell division. Such shortening is part of a cell's aging process, and since cancer cells keep dividing forever, the Whitehead group reasoned that making human cells more mouselike might also make them cancerous.The strategy worked. The scientists took connective-tissue and kidney cells and introduced three mutated genes——one that makes cells divide rapidly; another thatdisables two substances meant to rein in excessive division; and a third that promotes the production of telomerase, which made the cells essentially immortal. They'd created a tumor in a test tube. “Some people believed that telomerase wasn't that important,” says the Whitehead's William Hahn, the study's lead author. “This allows us to say with some certainty that it is.”Understanding cancer cells in the lab isn't the same as understanding how it behaves in a living body, of course. But by teasing out the key differences between normal and malignant cells, doctors may someday be able to design tests to pick up cancer in its earliest stages. The finding could also lead to drugs tailored to attack specific types of cancer, thereby lessening our dependence ontissue-destroying chemotherapy and radiation. Beyond that, the Whitehead research suggests that this stubbornly complex disease may have a simple origin, and the identification of that origin may turn out to be the most important step of all.注(1):本文选自Time; 08/09/99, p60, 3/5p, 2c注(2):本文习题命题模仿对象2002年真题text 41. From the first paragraph, we learn that ________________.[A] scientists had understood what happened to normal cells that made them behave strangely[B] when a cell begins to copy itself without stopping, it becomes cancerous[C] normal cells do no copy themselves[D] the DNA inside a nucleus divides regularly2. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?[A] The scientists traced the source of cancers by figuring out their DNA order.[B] A treatment to cancers will be available within a year or two.[C] The finding paves way for tackling cancer.[D] The scientists successfully turned cancerous cells into healthy cells.3. According to the author, one of the problems in previous cancer research is ________.[A] enzyme kept telomeres from getting shorter[B] scientists didn‘t know there existed different levels of telomerase between mouse cells and human cells[C] scientists failed to understand the connection between a cell‘s aging process and cell division.[D] human cells are mouselike4. Which of the following best defines the word “tailored” (Line 4, Paragraph5)?[A] made specifically[B] used mainly[C] targeted[D] aimed5. The Whitehead research will probably result in ___________.[A] a thorough understanding of the disease[B] beating out cancers[C] solving the cancer mystery[D] drugs that leave patients less painful答案:B C B A DWhen Ellen M. Roche, 24, volunteered for the asthma experiment, she didn't expect to benefit from it——except for the $365 she'd be paid. Unlike clinical trials,in which most patients hope that an experimental therapy will help them, this study was designed just to answer a basic question: how does the way a normal lung reacts to irritants shed light on how an asthmatic lung responds? To find out, scientists led by Dr. Alkis Togias of Johns Hopkins University had Roche and other healthy volunteers inhale a drug called hexamethonium. Almost immediately Roche began to cough and feel short of breath. Within weeks her lungs failed and her kidneys shut down. On June 2 Roche died——a death made more tragic by the possibility that it was preventable. Last week the federal Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) ruled that Hopkins's system for protecting human subjects is so flawed that virtually all its U.S.-supported research had to stop.The worst part is that Hopkins, one of the nation's premier medical institutions, is not alone. Two years ago the inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services warned that the system safeguarding human subjects is in danger of a meltdown. The boards that review proposed studies are overburdened,understaffed and shot through with conflicts of interest. Oversight is so porous that no one knows how many people volunteer to be human guinea pigs (21 million a year is an educated guess), how many are hurt or how many die. “Thousands of deaths are never reported, and adverse events in the tens of thousands are not reported,”says Adil Shamoo, a member of the National Human Research Protections Advisory Committee and professor at the University of Maryland. Greg Koski, head of OHRP,has called the clinical-trials system “dysfunctional.”The OHRP findings on Hopkins are nothing short of devastating. After a three-day inspection last week, OHRP concluded that the Hopkins scientists failed to get information on the link between hexamethonium and lung toxicity, even though data were available via “routine” Internet searches and in textbooks. The drug is not approved for use in humans; the hexa-methonium Togias used was labeled [F]OR LABORATORY USE ONLY. The review board, OHRP charges, never asked for data on the safety of inhaled hexamethonium in people. The consent form that Roche signed states nowhere that hexamethonium is not approved by the FDA (the form describes it as a “medication”) and didn't warn about possible lung toxicity.Hopkins itself concluded that the review board did not do all it could to protect the volunteers, and suspended all 10 of Togias's studies. Still, the university ——whose $301 million in federal grants for 2,000 human studies made it the largest recipient of government research money last year——is seething. “Hopkins has hadover 100 years of doing clinical trials,” says Dr. Edward Miller, CEO of Johns Hopkins Medicine. “We have had one death in all of those years. We would have done anything in the world to prevent that death, but [suspending the studies] seems out of proportion.” Hopkins calls the shutdown of its experiments “unwarranted,unnecessary, paralyzing and precipitous.” OHRP is letting trials continue “where it is in the best interests” of subjects. The rest of the studies can resume once Hopkins submits a plan to restructure its system for protecting research subjects. How quickly that happens, says a government spokesman, depends on Hopkins.注(1):本文选自Newsweek; 7/30/2001, p36;注(2):本文习题命题模仿对象2005年真题Text 1;1. In the opening paragraph, the author introduces his topic by[A]explaining a phenomenon[B]justifying an assumption[C]stating an incident[D]making a comparison2. The statement “The OHRP findings on Hopkins are nothing short of devastating.”(Line1, Paragraph 3) implies that[A]The OHRP findings on Hopkins are much too impressive.[B]The OHRP findings on Hopkins are much too shocking.[C]The OHRP findings on Hopkins are much too convincing.[D]The OHRP findings on Hopkins are much too striking.3. The main reasons for Roche‘s death are as following, except that _______.[A]the protecting system hasn‘t been set up[B]the review board has neglected their duty[C]the research team was not responsible enough for its volunteers[D]the possibility of lung toxicity was overlooked4. The OHRP has found that[A]Hopkins has loose control over the experiment.[B]the volunteers knew nothing about the experiment.[C]there is something wrong with every aspect of the experiment.[D]there exist many hidden troubles in human subjects safeguarding system.5. What can we infer from the last paragraph?[A]Hopkins had no fault in this accident.[B]Hopkins seemed not to quite agree with The OHRP[C]Togias's studies shouldn‘t be suspended.[D]Hopkins wanted to begin their experiments as soon as possible.答案:CBACBYou hop into your car, but, wait, where are the keys? You meet someone new, but her name is gone before the handshake's over. Those are failures of your short-term,or “working,” memory——the place you file information for immediate, everyday retrieval. It isn't perfect. But researchers are increasingly convinced that the hormone estrogen could play a key role in maintaining and perhaps even improving memory. Last week a team of Yale scientists provided dramatic new evidence that bolsters the theory. Using MRIs——detailed snapshots of the brain——researchers found that women taking estrogen show significantly more activity in brain areas associated with memory than women on a placebo. “This is very exciting,” says Yale's Dr. Sally Shaywitz. “It means that the brain circuitry for memory had altered.”After menopause, when estrogen levels plummet, some women become forgetful. Past research has demonstrated that those who take estrogen do better on memory tests than their nonmedicated peers do. The hormone may even reduce the risk of Alzheimer's. The new study, published in last week's Journal of the American Medical Association,is the first to visually compare the neurocircuitry of memory both on and off estrogen. The drug made a big difference to participant Bernadette Settelmeyer:“All of a sudden I was remembering things.”The women (whose average age was 51) lay down in a brain-imaging machine where they were shown two types of information: nonsense words (“BAZ” or “DOB”) to test verbal memory and geometric patterns to assess visual memory. After a 20-second “storage” period, participants saw a mix of old and new and were asked if anything looked familiar. During each stage of the test——as the women encoded, stored and retrieved data——researchers took pictures of their brains. The 46 women underwent the test twice——once while taking a standard daily dose of estrogen and again while taking a placebo. Beyond the power of estrogen, the difference in MRIs suggests that the adult brain maintains “plasticity”——the ability to rewire itself——even as it ages.There is still plenty of research to be done. Scientists can't yet be sure estrogen is directly responsible for better memory performance. Despite the difference in brain activity on and off estrogen, participants' scores did not change. Researchers say that is probably because the tasks were so simple (the women got more than 90 percent correct overall)。

2020考研英语阅读理解模拟试题及答案解析七The Supreme Court'sdecisions on physician-assisted suicide carry important implications for howmedicine seeks to relieve dying patients of pain and suffering。

Although it ruled that there is no constitutional right tophysician-assisted suicide, the Court in effect supported the medical principleof "double effect", a centuries-old moral principle holding that anaction having two effects—a good one that is intended and a harmful one that is foreseen—is permissibleif the actor intends only the good effect。

Doctors have used that principle in recent years tojustify usinghigh doses of morphine to control terminally ill patients' pain, even thoughincreasing dosages will eventually kill the patient。

Nancy Dubler, director of Montefiore Medical Center, contends thatthe principle will shield doctors who "until now have very, very stronglyinsisted that they could not give patients sufficient mediation to controltheir pain if that might hasten death."George Annas, chair of the health law department at BostonUniversity, maintains that, as long as a doctor prescribes a drug for alegitimate medical purpose, the doctor has done nothing illegal even if thepatient uses the drug to hasten death. "It's like surgery, "he says."We don't call those deaths homicides because the doctors didn't intendtokill their patients, although they risked their death. Ifyou're a physician,you can risk your patient's suicide as long as you don't intend theirsuicide."On another level, many in the medical community acknowledge thatthe assisted-suicide debate has been fueled in part by the despair of patientsfor whom modem medicine has prolonged the physical agony of dying。

For each question there are four answers marked A,B,C and the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Then mark your answer on ANSWER SHEET I by blackening the corresponding letter in the brackets with a pencil.(40 points)Passage 1In a democratic society citizens are encouraged to form their own opinions on candidates for public office, taxes, constitutional amendments, environmental concerns, foreign policy, and other issues. The opinions held by anypopulation are shaped and manipulated by several factors: individual circumstances, the mass media, specialinterest groups, and opinion leaders.Wealthy people tend to think differently on social issues from poor people. Factory workers probably do notshare the same views as white collar collar, nonunion workers. Women employed outside their homessometimes have perspectives different from those of full time homemakers. In these and other ways individualstatus shapes one's view of current events.The mass media, especially television, are powerful influences on the way people think and act. Governmentofficials note how mail from th e public tends to“ follow the headlines.” Whatever is featured in newspapers and magazines and on television attracts enough attention that people begin to inform themselves and to expressopinions.The mass media have also created larger audiences for government and a wider range of pubic issues thanexisted before. Prior to television and the national editions of newspapers, issues and candidates tended toremain localized. In Great Britain and West Germany, for example, elections to the national legislatures wereusually viewed by voters as local contests. Today's elections are seen as struggles between party leaders andprograms. In the United States radio and television have been beneficial to the presidency. Since the days ofFranklin and his“ fireside chats,” presidents have appealed diectly to a national audience over the heads of Congress to advocate their programs.Special groups spend vast sums annually trying to influence public opinion. Public utilities, for instance, tried tosway public opinion in favor of nuclear power plants. Opposed to them were citizens' organizations that lobbiedto halt the use of nuclear power. During the 1960s the American Medical Association conducted an unsuccessful advertising campaign designed to prevent the passage of medicare.Opinion leaders are usually such prominent public figures as politicians, show business personalites, andcelebrity atheltes. The opinions of these individuals, whether informed and intelligent or not, carry weight withsome segments of the population. Some individuals, such as Nobel prizewinners, are suddenly thrust into publicview by the media. By quickly reaching a large audience, their views gain a hearing and are perhaps influentialin shaping views on complex issues.51.The second paragraph is mainly about _____ .52.A. the influence of gender on people's view53.B.the influence of people's status on their view54.C.the influence of living standard on people's view55.D.the influence of different ranks on people's view56. The expression“ follow the headlines” shows _____ .57.A. people seldom have time to read newspaper articles58. B.people think the headlines contain the most important information59.C.people often get their opinions from newspapers or television60.D.most people look on newspapers or TV as misleading61.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage62.A. TV programs have a strong influence on governmental policy.63.B.Chats on televisions are chief means for running for presidency.64.C.More and more people show interest in politics because of TV.65.D.Before the use of TV, people showed little interest in politics.66.It is obvious that the opinion of famous people _____ .67.A. is often ignored by the public68.B.is seldom expressed to the point69.C.is often imposed on the public70.D.has a strong influence on peoplePassage 2To produce the upheaval in the United States that changed and modernized the domain of higher education fromthe mid1860's to the mid1800's, three primary causes interacted. The emergence of a halfdozen leaders inedcuation provided the personal force that was needed. Moreover, an outcry for a fresher, more practical, andmore advanced kind of instruction arose among the alumni( 校友 )and friends of nearly all of the old colleges andgrew into a movement that overrod e all conservative opposition. The aggressive“ Young Yale” movementappeared, demanding partial alumni control, a more liberal spirit, and a broader course of study. The graduatesof Harvard College simultanceously rallied( 聚集 )to relieve the college's poverty and demand new enterprise.Education was pushing toward higher standards in the East by throwing off church leadership everywhere, and inthe West by finding a wider range of studies and a new sense of public duty.The old style classical education received its most crushing blow in the citadel of Harvard College, whereEliot, a young captain of thirty five, son of a former treasure of Harvard, led the progressive forces. Fiverevolutionary advances were made during the first years of Dr. Eliot's administration. They were the elevationand amplification of entrance requirements, the enlargement of the curriculum and the develpoment of theelective system, the recognition of graduate study in the liberal arts, the raising of professional training in law,medicine, and the fostering of greater maturity in student life. Standards of admission were sharply advanced in1872-1873 and the appointment of a dean to take charge of student affairs, and a wise handling of discipline,the undergraduates were led to regard themselves more as young gentlemen and less as young animals. Onenew course of study after another was opened up:science, music, the history of the fine arts, advanced Spanish,political economy, physics, classical philology, and international law.55.Which of the following is the author's main purpose in writing the passage56.A. To present the history of Harvard College and compare it with that of Yale University.57. B.To criticize the conditions of the U.S. universities in the 19th century.58. C.To describe innovations in the education in the latter 1800's.59. D.To introduce what was happening in major before the turn of the century.60.According to the passage, the educational changes were the result of _____ .61.A. plans developed by conservative and church leaders62.B.efforts of interested individuals to redefine the educational system63.C.the demands of social organization seeking financial relief64.D.rallies held by westerners wanting to compete with eastern schools65.Before the change, Harvard _____ .66.A. was short of financial aid67.B.offered a narrower range of subjects68.C.was not strict with its students69.D.all of the above70.Form the passage, which of the following can be inferred about Harvard College before progressivechanges occurred71.A. Admission standards were lower.72.B.Students were younger.73.C.Classes ended earlier.74.D.Courses were more practical.Passage 3A million years have been added to man's evolutionary anthropologists once estimated the age of Zinjanthropus,the earliest toolmaking creature,as more than 600000 years,a recent radioactive dating measurement,based on volcanic rock samples from East Africa,where Zinjanthropus was discovered in 1959,now indicates that this primitive man may have roamed the earth 1750000 years new date pushes evidence for the emergence of toolmaking one of the two essential attributes of humanity back into the Pliocene Age,andit seems to fit more easily into the picture of human evolution than the 600000 year figure.The Zinjanthropus was capable of walking erect,so that its hands were freed,and it had a brain large enough to enable it to perform such simple tasks as making primitive cutting tools from quartz Zinjanthropus was not a man of the modern species,homo sapiens,but many anthropolgists see in the creature a type that could be very close to,if not actually in,the line of human Zinjanthropus must be classified as a man,albeit( 尽管 )of a primitive type,because no animal species other than man both makes and uses tools.Anthropologists consider it probable that the larger brain and higher intelligence of modern man evolved as primitive manlike creatures learned to use tools and to communicate by speech the other essential of a courseof evolution seems more reasonable starting nearly two million years ago than it would at the faster evolutionary pace required if the process started only a half million years ago.59. A million years are added to man's past by the _____ .60.A. unearthing( 出土 )of Zinjanthropus61.B.discovery of some primitive tools62.C.dating of rock samples from East Africa63.D.invention of a radioactive dating process64.This leads anthropologists to believe that _____ .65.A. the pattern of human evolution was not what has been generally supposed66.B.the evolutionary pace was faster than was supposed67.C.primitive intelligence must be reevaluated68.D.previous theories of human evolution are correct69.The Zinjanthropus can be called a man because _____ .70.made and used tools71.walked erect72.brain directed its toolmaking73.probably communicated by speech74.The new date fits the human evolutionary pattern more easily than the old because it _____ .75.A. allows a more reasonable evolutionary pace76.B.indicates man is younger than was believed77.C.establishes the existence of man in the Pliocene Age78.D.indicates that man is nearly two million years oldPassage 4“ Magic bullets ” ,this term sounds like the invention of a fantasy writer, but in fact, it represents a long standing dream of medical scientists. The dream: to find ways of homing in on and destroying diseased cells, such as cancer cells, while leaving healthy cells unharmed. It is a tantalizing idea but a highly elusive one, and for years reseachers could not quite make it work.The search for magic bullets began early in this century with the work of a brilliant German bacteriologist, Paul Ehrlich, who coined the term magic bullets, noticed that certain dyes were taken up by a variety of infectious microorganisms. That observation led him to the idea of chemically hitching a toxin(poison)such as arsenic to adye to kill the microbes(germs)that cause syphilis and other diseases. Although his efforts had only limited success, they led to the concept of “ chemotherapy ” ,the use of chemicals to treat disease. In later years, other investigators began looking for chemicals to kill cancer cells that have metastasized, or spread to other parts of the body. Metastasis is what makes cancer so deadly. A cancerous tumor can be removed surgically. But if even one or two cancer cells have broken away from a tumor, they can travel through the circulatory system and start new tumors elsewhere in the body. By the 1980's, researchers had developed some 40 drugs for killing cancer cells. These chemicals generally act by entering and destroying cells that are in the process of dividing rapidly. The problem is that many normal cells, such as hair cells and the cells of the intestines( 肠),also reproduce rapidly, and so they too absorb a large dose of the chemical. That is why cancer patients receiving chemotherapy often experience hair loss, nausea, and other unpleasant side effects. That is why chemotherapy usually does not cure a patient with metastasized cancer. If enough of the drug is given to kill all the cancer cells, the drug may well kill the patient, too.63. As we can see from the passage, the“ magic bullet” really refers to _____ .64.A. a kind of chemicals65.B.a kind of instrument66.C.a specific kind of cell67.D.a way of treatment68.In treating cancer patient, chemotherapy _____ .69.A. has proved to be effective70.B.has no effect at all71.C.often kill the patient72.D.has some limited effect73.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage74.A. The first satisfactory magic bullet was developed by a German bacteriologist75.B.drugs for cancer often kill the patient along with the cancerous cells76.C.drugs for cancer often have some unpleasant side effects77.D.magic bullets proved to be effective only on ordinary cancer patients78.The expression “ home in on ” in the third sentence of paragraph 1 probably means _____ .79.A. locate80.B.kill81.C.reach82.D.inventPassage 5There is a new type of small advertisement becoming increasingly common in newspaper classified issometimes placed among “ situations vacant ” ,although it is not offer anyone a job,and sometimes it appearsamong“ situation wanted ” ,although it is not placed by someone looking for a jobitdoes is to offer hel p inapplying for a job.“ Contact us before writing your application ” ,or“ Make use of our long experience in preparing your curriculum vitae or job history ” is how it is usuallygrowth and apparent success of such a specialized service is,of course,areflection on the current high levels of unemployment. It is also an indication of the growing importance of thecurriculum vitae (or job history),with the suggestion that it may now qualify as an art form in its own right.There was a time when job seekers sim ply wrote letters of application. “ Just put down your name,address,age and whether you have passed any exams ” was about the average level of advice offered to young people applyingfor their first jobs when I left letter was really just for openers,it was explained,everything else could andshould be saved for the in those days of full employment the technique letter proved that you could writeand were available for eager face and intelligent replies did the rest.Later,as you moved up the ladder,something slightly more sophisticated was called advice then was to putsomething in the letter which would distinguish you from the might be the aggressive approach. “ Your search is am the person you are looking for ” was a widely used trick that occasionallyucceededs. Or it might be somespecial feature specially designed for the job in view.There is no doubt,however,that it is the increasing number of applicants with university education at all pointsin the process of engaging staff that has led to the greater importance of the curriculum vitae.67.The new type of advertisement which is appearing in newspaper columns _____ .68.job hunters of the opportunities availableeful advice to those looking for employment70.available jobs into various types71.employers of people available for work72.Nowadays a demand for this specialised type of service has been created because _____ .73.is a lack of jobs available for unievsity graduates74. are so many top level jobs available75.importance is attached to written application76.are becoming so varied that one needs advice to choose the right one77. In the past it was expected that first job hunters would _____ .78.an initial letter giving their life history79.some exams before applying for a job80.no qualifications other than being able to read and write81.any detailed information until they obtained an interview82.The job history has become such an important document because _____ .83.has been an increase in the number of jobs advertised84.has been an increase in the number of applicants with degrees85.are becoming much more complicated nowadays86.experiences for jobs are no longer required.Part IV English Chinese TranslationDirections:Read the following passage carefully and then translate the underlined sentences into Chinese.(15 points)There can be no doubt that the computer revolution has touched virtually every person in the country insome way or other.Nor can there be any doubt that it has brought tremendous improvements in productivity and efficiency.(71) Indeed, there are many tasks undertaken by computers that could not be done without them, and we have reached the point that the benefits of computerization are taken for granted.Having accepted that computers are here to stay, what is the downside(72) The most obvious answer is that becuse of increased efficiency, less people are needed and the loss of jobs, particularly in the service industries, has been enormous, with more job losses yet to come.However, on a more insidious note, many users have not realized how computers have introduced vulnerability to their business; If computers are soon a boon, how do we cope when something goes wrong Computers have many uses, varying form pure accounting or back office sytems to stock or produciton control, or computer aided design or manufacturing.(73) In many instances, manual systems can quickly be introducedto ensure some continuity of the business; but in many cases if the computer is down, so is the business.The most probable causes of interruption in the past have been accidental damage or breakdown, and these can usually be dealt with expeditiously. However, in recent times the exposure causing most concern to insurers have been theft.(74) Initally the problem was the theft of PCs, and because most of these were based in offices which had not been targeted by thieves in the past, and thus had relatively poor security, losses mounted very quickly. It was common practice for a thief to make a fresh visit once the equipment had been replaced, as the new equipment would be more attractive due to rapid technological advances. The equipment would usually be covered byinsurance, but problems could be experienced if there were no back ups of date and/or programmes.The initial reaction by insurers was to step up requests for security improvements, including alarms and devices such as lock down plates or cables. (75) However, the criminal fraternity quickly came to realize that the real value in the computers is in the chip which is remarkably portable and unidentifiable, so even when caught the police have trouble proving the theft. This led to even greater demands for security, including encapsulation and computer safes.Part V Writing(15 Points)。

Failing hips can bereplaced, clinical depression controlled, cataracts removed in a 30-minute surgical procedure. Such advances offer the aging population aquality of life that was unimaginable when I entered medicine 50years ago. But not even a great health-care system can cure death—and our failure to confront that reality now threatens this greatnessof ours。

Death is normal; we are genetically programmed to disintegrate andperish, even under ideal conditions. We all understand that at somelevel, yet as medical consumers we treat death as a problem to besolved. Shielded by third-party payers from the cost of our care, wedemand everything that can possibly be done for us, even if it'suseless. The most obvious example is late-stage cancer care. Physicians—frustrated by their inability to cure the disease andfearing loss of hope in the patient—too often offer aggressivetreatment far beyond what is scientifically justified。

By now, everyone knows you save energy by turning out lights. And you conserve water by taking shorter showers. But it´s just as true that saving water may be one of the most effective ways to save energy—and vice versa. "It´s a ´buy one, get one free´deal," said Douglas Kenney, a professor at the University of Colorado Law School and the editor of an upcoming book that explores the nexus of water and energy.In California today, just delivering water accounts for 20 percent of the state´s energy consumption. It takes power to gather water, purify water, and distribute water, especially in places like southern California where water is piped hundreds of miles to supply Los Angeles´sprawling demands.Nationally, energy production sucks more water from freshwater sources than any other sector except agriculture. It takes water to create the power we use to drive our cars, transport our groceries, and run our toaster ovens. Virtually every source of electricity in a typical American home or manufacturing plant—whether it comes from hydroelectricity, coal, natural gas, nuclear, biofuels, or even concentrated solar—also requires water. Lots of water.That´s a growing problem, because in many places, finding water for energy isn´t easy— and it´s bound to get tougher as energy demands soar and climate change alters hydrological cycles in already arid regions. The energy sector is the fastest-growing water consumer in the United States, according to a January 2011 Congressional Research Service report. Nationally, that´s a challenge, but regionally it could be a calamity. As the Congressional Research report notes, "much of the growth in the energy sector´s water demand is concentrated in regions with already intense competition over water." The connection between energy and water—and the precariousness of that link in the western United States—is exemplified in a gigantic plug of concrete stopping the muddy Colorado River above Las Vegas, otherwise known as Hoover Dam. At the ceremony inaugurating the Hoover Dam provided the two key ingredients—water and power—that freed the Southwest and southern California to go on a 75-year growth spurt. Lake Mead now supplies water to more than 22 million people, and it produces more than four billion kilowatts of electricity per year.The Colorado River, lifeblood of seven western states, is already as overdrawn as the federal treasury. Drought conditions during most of the 21st century have forced water managers to plan for a day when the region´ s vast system of dams and reservoirs no longer have enough water to store. Already, utilities have to scramble to respond on days when everybody in Phoenix, Las Vegas and Los Angeles wants to crank their air conditioners during the same heat wave.第21题What does "vice versa" (Line 3, Para. 1) refer to?A.Saving water and saving energy could happen meanwhile.B.Wasting water may be one of the fastest ways to waste energy.C.Saving water may be one of the most effective ways to save energy.D.Saving energy may be one of the most effective ways to save water.第22题Which of the following statement is TRUE?A.Energy production sucks water mostly.B.We fuel our cars and run our toaster ovens with water.C.Almost every source of electricity in home or factory requires water.D.Coal, natural gas, nuclear, biofuels require water, however solar does not.第23题It can be inferred from the passage that the Congressional Research Service report considers the U. S. energy sector______.A.efficientB.praiseworthyC.insignificantD.spiny第24题Which of the following can substitute for "overdrawn" (Line 1, Para. 6)?A.Deficient.B.Abundant.C.Significant.D.Prompt.第25题The most appropriate title for this passage could be______.A.Electricity Needs WaterB.Save the Colorado RiverC.How to Save WaterD.Saving Energy and Conserving Water上一题下一题(26~30/共20题)Section ⅡReading ComprehensionDirections :Read the following four terts.

Without the throb of a synthesiser or a guitar´s twang, shoppers would sense something missing as they tried on jeans or filled up trolleys. Specialists like Mood Media, which bought Muzak in 2011, devise audio programmes to influence the feel of shops and cater to customers´ tastes. The idea is to entertain, and thereby prolong the time shoppers spend in stores, says Claude Nahon, the firm´s international chief. Music by famous artists works better than the generic stuff that people associate with Muzak. The embarrassing brand name was dropped in 2013.Online shopping is an under-explored area of merchandising musicology. A new study commissioned by eBay, a shopping website, aims to correct that. Some 1,900 participants were asked to simulate online shopping while listening to different sounds. Some results were unsurprising. The noise of roadworks and crying babies soured shoppers´ views of the products on offer. Chirruping birds encouraged sales of barbecues but not blenders or board games.Sounds associated with quality and luxury seemed to be hazardous for shoppers´ wallets. The study found classical music and restaurant buzz caused them to overestimate the quality of goods on offer and to pay more than they should. That backs up earlier research which found that shoppers exposed to classical music in a wine store bought more expensive bottles than those hearing pop.EBay wants consumers to avoid such unhealthy influences when shopping online. It has blended birdsong, dreamy music and the sound of a rolling train—thought to be pleasant but notoverly seductive—to help them buy more sensibly. Retailers could presumably counter by turning up the Chopin. "Classical music does seem to be the way to go" if your only interest is the narrow one of squeezing as much money as possible from your clientele, says the study´s author, Patrick Fagan, a lecturer at Goldsmiths, part of the University of London.Few traditional shops are likely to use that tactic. H&M, a clothes retailer, airs "trendy, up-tempo" music from new artists, while Nespresso´s coffee boutiques go for "lounge-y" sounds, says Mr. Nahon. Grocery stores, with a broad following, play top 40 hits. The tempo tends to be slower in the mornings, when shoppers are sparser and older, and becomes more quick and lively as the day goes on.第26题The brand name Muzak was dropped in 2013 because it______.A.was outdatedB.was bought by Mood Media in 2011C.was often associated with generic musicD.entertained customers better第27题The sound of______may increase sales of board games.A.roadworksB.crying babiesC.chirruping birdsD.classic music第28题The word "hazardous"(Para. 3)probably means______.A.safeB.dangerousC.helpfulD.lucky第29题The sound which helps customers buy more sensibly______.A.belongs to classical musicB.includes the sound of a rolling trainC.sounds noisy and unpleasantD.is overly seductive第30题It can be inferred that a fashion shop should play______to attract customers.A.trendy and up-tempo musicB.lounge-y musicC.slow and tender musicD.quick and lively music上一题下一题(31~35/共20题)Section ⅡReading ComprehensionDirections :Read the following four terts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing [A], [B],[C]or [D].Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Not too many decades ago it seemed "obvious" both to the general public and to sociologists that modern society has changed people´ s natural relations, loosened their responsibilities to kin and neighbors, and substituted in their place superficial relationships with passing acquaintances. However, in recent years a growing body of research has revealed that the "obvious" is not true. It seems that if you are a city resident, you typically know a smaller proportion of your neighbors than you do if you are a resident of a smaller community. But, for the most part, this fact has few significant consequences. It does not necessarily follow that if you know few of your neighbors you will know no one else.Even in very large cities, people maintain close social ties within small, private social worlds. Indeed, the number and quality of meaningful relationships do not differ between more and less urban people. Small-town residents are more involved with kin than are big-city residents. Yet city dwellers compensate by developing friendships with people who share similar interests and activities. Urbanism may produce a different stifle of life, but the quality of life does not differ between town and city. Nor are residents of large communities any likelier to display psychological symptoms of stress or alienation, a feeling of not belonging, than are residents of smaller communities. However, city dwellers do worry more about crime, and this leads them to a distrust of strangers.These findings do not imply that urbanism makes little or no difference. If neighbors are strangers to one another, they are less likely to sweep the sidewalk of an elderly couple living next door or keep an eye out for young trouble makers. Moreover, there may be a link between a community´s population size and its social heterogeneity. For instance, sociologists have found much evidence that the size of a community is associated with bad behavior including gambling, drugs, etc. Large-city urbanites are also more likely than their small-town counterparts to have a cosmopolitan outlook, to display less responsibility to traditional kinship roles, to vote for leftist political candidates, and to be tolerant of nontraditional religious groups, unpopular political groups, and so-called undesirables. Everything considered, heterogeneity and unusual behavior seem to be outcomes of large population size.第31题Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the first paragraph?A.Two contrasting views are presented.B.An argument is examined and possible solutions given.C.Research results concerning the quality of urban life are presented in order of time.D.A detailed description of the difference between urban and small-town life is given.第32题According to the passage, it was once a common belief that urban residents_____.A.did not have the same interests as their neighborsB.could not develop long-standing relationshipsC.tended to be associated with bad behaviorually had more friends第33题One of the consequences of urban life is that impersonal relationships among neighbors_____.A.disrupt people´ s natural relationsB.make them worry about crimeC.cause them not to show concern for one anotherD.cause them to the suspicious of each other第34题It can be inferred from the passage that the bigger a community is_____.A.the better its quality of lifeB.the more similar its interestsC.the more tolerant and open-minded it isD.the likelier it is to display psychological symptoms of stress第35题What is the passage mainly about?A.Similarities in the interpersonal relationships between urbanites and small town dwellers.B.Advantages of living in big cities as compared with living in small townsC.The positive role that urbanism plays in modern life.D.The strong feeling of alienation of city inhabitants.上一题下一题(36~40/共20题)Section ⅡReading ComprehensionDirections :Read the following four terts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing [A], [B],[C]or [D].Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.How best to solve the pollution problems of a city sunk so deep within sulfurous clouds that it was described as hell on earth? Simply answered: Relocate all urban smoke-creating industry and encircle the metropolis of London with sweetly scented flowers and elegant hedges.In fact, as Christine L. Corton, a Cambridge scholar, reveals in her new book, London Fog, this fragrant anti-smoke scheme was the brainchild of John Evelyn, the 17th-century diarist. King Charles II was said to be much pleased with Evelyn´ s idea, and a bill against the smoky nuisance was duly drafted. Then nothing was done. Nobody at the time, and nobody right up to the middle of the 20th century, was willing to put public health above business interests.And yet it´s a surprise to discover how beloved a feature of London life these multicolored fogs became. A painter, Claude Monet, fleeing besieged Paris in 1870, fell in love with London´s vaporous, mutating clouds. He looked upon the familiar mist as his reliable collaborator. Visitors from abroad may have delighted in the fog, but homegrown artists lit candles and vainly scrubbed the grime from their gloom-filled studio windows. "Give us light!" Frederic Leighton pleaded to the guests at a Lord Mayor´ s banquet in 1882, begging them to have pity on the poor painter.The more serious side of Corton´ s book documents how business has taken precedence over humanity where London´ s history of pollution is concerned. A prevailing westerly wind meant that those dwelling to the east were always at most risk. Those who could afford it lived elsewhere. The east was abandoned to the underclass. Lord Palmerston spoke up for choking East Enders in the 1850s, pointing a finger at the interests of the furnace owners. A bill was passed, but there was little change. Eventually, another connection was established: between London´ s perpetual veil of smog and its citizens´ cozily smoldering grates. Sadly, popular World War I songs like "Keep the Home Fires Burning" didn´t do much to encourage the adoption of smokeless fuel.It wasn ´t until what came to be known as the "Great Killer Fog" of 1952 that the casualty rate became impossible to ignore and the British press finally took up the cause. It was left to aMember of Parliament to steer the Clean Air Act into law in 1956. Within a few years, even as the war against pollution was still in its infancy, the dreaded fog began to fade.Corton´s book combines meticulous social history with a wealth of eccentric detail. Thus we learn that London´s ubiquitous plane trees were chosen for their shiny, fog-resistant foliage. It´s discoveries like these that make reading London Fog such an unusual and enlightening experience.第36题Which of the following can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A.The fragrant anti-smoke scheme was inspired by John Evelyn´ s child.B.King Charles II was not actually satisfied with Evelyn´ s idea.C.The process of drafting the bill against the smoky nuisance was slow.D.It wasn´ t until the middle of the 20th century that someone willingly put public health above commercial interests.第37题The word "grime"(Para. 3)is closest in meaning to______.A.fogB.dirtC.frostD.paint第38题Which of the following would be most heavily affected by London´s pollution according to Corton´ s book?A.rich dwellers in the east.B.the underclass in the west.C.East London´ s slum dwellers.D.servants of furnace owners.第39题The author mainly shows in the last but one paragraph that______.A.Great Killer Fog led to huge mortalityB.The British press was also playing a big roleC.It was a long way for Clean Air Act to be passedD.reducing the air pollution worked though it was in the primary stage第40题There were plane trees everywhere in London because they_____.A.could resist fog and hazeB.were related to social historyC.contained a wealth of eccentric detailD.were shiny and beautified the environment上一题下一题(41~45/共5题)Part BDirections :Read the following tert and decide whether each of the statements is true or false.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.[A]Monitor your alcohol use[B]Pay attention to table manners[C]Don´ t be a gossip[D]Network with higher-ups[E]Keep the conversation light[F]Dress appropriately[G]Make new friendsFor young workers, holiday parties can be a wonderful opportunity to celebrate a successful year gone by, catch up with colleagues and hobnob with senior executives to try to get ahead. But a host of challenges confront young employees—from figuring out whom to bring to walking the fine line between being friendly and being flirty. Some do´ s and don ´ts when it comes to these events:__41__If you´ re new to the company, talk to co-workers who have attended previous office functions to get a sense of what you should wear. Dress conservatively, not "like you´re going to a club in Vegas, "says Tom Gimbel, CEO of staffing firm LaSalle Network in Chicago. But, he adds, don´t take it "to the point where(you´re)wearing a suit where everybody else is wearing jeans."__42__Steer clear of talking about those layoffs or pay freezes that have hit morale, experts advise. "Try to keep the conversation upbeat," says Barbara Pachter, president of Pachter & Associates, a business-etiquette and communications firm in Cherry Hill, N.J. "If you´re merging, that could be an exciting thing,(or if)you´re adding new product lines, that could be an exciting thing" to talk about.__43__While it´ s fun to indulge in rumors about colleagues, you don´ t want to be known as the person who´s always spreading juicy gossip. "You want to be known for your work ethic, you want to be known for the work product that you put out, and at a holiday party, you don´t want to be the one telling everybody who´ s making out with whom and who´ s fighting with whom," says Mr. Gimbel. Instead, he encourages people to stick to safe topics like sports, entertainment and what´ s going on in the world.__44__Even if you´re intimidated by the clique of VPs huddling in their own circle, don´t pass up the opportunity to meet these people, who could be interviewing you when you´ re up for your next promotion. Look for an opening to chime in on a topic that you know about.If they don´t already know you, introduce yourself and say how long you´ve been with the company and what you do. Afterward, if you feel like you connected with someone senior, send them a follow-up email saying it was nice to meet them, says Ms. Pachter. "What have you got to lose?"__45__Holiday parties are one of the few workplace events where imbibing is allowed and even encouraged to get people relaxed. However, just because alcohol is free-flowing at the bar doesn´t mean you should take that as a license to reprise your college frat parties."Most people head toward the bar and the buffet when they get to a holiday party, and if they drink on an empty stomach they tend to get inebriated and then they could say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing," says Ms. Whitmore. "No. 1 rule is: Don´t drink too much, monitor youralcohol intake. Usually, one or two drinks is plenty."第41题第42题第43题第44题第45题上一题下一题(1/1)Part CDirections: Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. (10 points)第46题Hallowell argues in his new book, Driven to Distraction at Work: How to Focus and Be More Productive, that when you feel real or imagined concerns piling on, share them with a friend, and there´s a better chance that aimless anxiety will change into problem-solving. He believes that worrying alone is one of the major reasons that people can´t focus, both at work and elsewhere in their lives.Worrying alone does not have to be toxic, but it tends to become toxic because in isolation we lose perspective. We tend to globalize, catastrophize, when no one is there to act as a reality check. Our imaginations run wild.Indeed, Samuel Johnson, a severe worrier himself, called worry a "disease of the imagination". When we worry alone we risk losing touch with reality, becoming paralyzed in worry, making bad decisions, and even getting sick, as toxic worry depresses immune function. ___________上一题下一题(1/1)Section WritingPart A第47题Write a letter of about 100 words to your American friend Jam, recommending your Chinese friend Han Ling to teach him Chinese.You should include the details you think necessary.You should write neatly on the ANSWER SHEET.Do not use your own name.

When we think about taking a holiday, we often imagine sandy beaches and sunny skies. But for a growing number of people, the stress of flying can make this an impossible dream. In the UK, 43% of people suffer from a fear of flying. This can have a big impact on their quality of life, including missing out on business opportunities and being unable to visit friends and family abroad.Jane Wells is one of those people who is terrified of flying. “It’s frustrating,” she says. “I used to love traveling, but now just the thought of getting on a plane makes me feel sick.”For some, the fear is not just about the plane –it’s also about the airports. The long lines, the security checks, and the crowds can all add to the anxiety. Steve Wilson has not flown for over 10 years. “I get sweaty palms just thinking about it,” he says. “I can’t face the thought of going through the airport. I’d rather stay at home.”Many people try to avoid flying altogether. Some choose to drive or take the train instead, even if it means longer journey times. But for others, the fear is so great that they don’t even want to leave the house.If you are one of those who are afraid of flying, there are things you can try to help. One solution is to take a course that teaches you skills to manage your anxiety. This can include breathing techniques and exercises to usewhen you feel overwhelmed. For others, therapy might be the best option. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help you to challenge negative thoughts and change your behavior.1.

考研英语阅读模拟试题考研英语阅读模拟试题(1)At 18 , Ashanthi DeSilva of suburban Cleveland is a living symbol of one of the great intellectual achievements of the 20th century. Born with an extremely rare and usually fatal disorder that left her without a functioning immune system (the bubble-“boy disease,” named after anearlier victim who was kept alive for years in a sterile plastic tent), she was treated beginning in 1990 with a revolutionary new therapy thatsought to correct the defect at its very source, in the genes of her white blood cells. It worked. Although her last gene-therapy treatment was in 1992, she is completely healthy with normal immune function ,according to one of the doctors who treated her, W. French Anderson of the University of Southern California. Researchers have long dreamed of treating diseases from hemophilia to cancer by replacing mutant genes with normal ones. And the dreaming may continue for decades more.“ Therewill be a gene-based treatment for essentially every disease,”Anderson says,“within 50 years.”It ’nots entirely clear why medicine has been so slow to build on Anderson ’ s early success. The National Institutes of Health budget officeestimates it will spend $432 million on gene-therapy research in 2005 ,and there is no shortage of promising leads. The therapeutic genes are usually delivered through viruses that don’causet human disease. “ The virus is sort of like a Trojan horse ,” says Ronald Crystal of New YorkPresbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical College.“ The cargo is the gene.At the University of Pennsylvania ’Abramson Cancer Center,immunologist Carl June recently treated HIV patients with a geneintended to help their cells resist the infection. At Cornell University ,researchers are pursuing genebased- therapies for Parkinson ease’ sanddisa rare hereditary disorder that destroys children’ s brain cells. At StanUniversity and the Children ’ s Hospital of Philad,r e lphiasearchers aretrying to figure out how to help patients with hemophilia who today mustinject themselves with expensive clotting drugs for life. Animalexperiments have shown great promise.But somehow, things get lost in the translation from laboratory topatient. In human trials of the hemophilia treatment, patients show aresponse at first , but it fades over time. And the field has still notrecovered from the setback it suffered in 1999, when Jesse Gelsinger,an 18-year-old with a rare metabolic disorder, died after receiving anexperimental gene therapy at the University of Pennsylvania. Someexperts worry that the field will be tarnished further if the next people tobenefit are not patients but athletes seeking an edge. This summer,researchers at the Salk Institute in San Diego said they had created a“ marathonmouse”by implanting a gene that enhancesrunning ability;already, officials at the World Anti-Doping Agency are preparing to testathletes for signs of “ genedoping. ”But the principle is the same,whether you ’ retrying to help a healthy runner run faster or allow amuscular-dystrophy patient to walk. “Everybodyrecognizes that genetherapy is a very good idea,” says Crystal.“And eventually it’s going to work. ”1.The case of Ashanthi Desilva is mentioned in the text to____________.[A] show the promise of gene-therapy[B] give an example of modern treatment for fatal diseases[C] introduce the achievement of Anderson and his team[D] explain how gene-based treatment works2.Anderson‘s early success has ________________.[A]greatly speeded the development of medicine[B]brought no immediate progress in the research of gene-therapy[C]promised a cure to every disease[D]made him a national hero3. Which of the following is true according to the text?[A]Ashanthi needs to receive gene-therapy treatment constantly.[B]Despite the huge funding, gene researches have shown fewpromises.[C]Therapeutic genes are carried by harmless viruses.[D]Gene-doping is encouraged by world agencies to help athletesget better scores.考研英语阅读模拟试题4.The word “tarnish (line” 5, paragraph 4) most probably means ____________.[A] affect[B] warn[C] trouble[D] stain5.From the text we can see that the author seems ___________.[A] optimistic[B] pessimistic[C] troubled[D] uncertain答案:ABCDA。

Title: Advances in Cancer ImmunotherapyAbstract:Cancer immunotherapy, an emerging field in cancer research and treatment, has shown promising results in recent years. This article aims to explore the latest advancements in cancer immunotherapy and their potential impact on cancer patients.Introduction:Cancer immunotherapy, also known as immuno-oncology, utilizes the body's immune system to fight cancer cells. Unlike traditional cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy, immunotherapy aims to enhance the immune response against cancer, leading to more targeted and effective treatment options. Over the years, significant progress has been made in this field, revolutionizing cancer treatment approaches.Checkpoint Inhibitors:One of the breakthroughs in cancer immunotherapy is the development of checkpoint inhibitors. These inhibitors target specific proteins on cancer cells or immune cells, preventing them from sending inhibitory signals that suppress the immune response. By blocking these inhibitory signals, checkpoint inhibitors unleash the immune system's ability to recognize and eliminate cancer cells. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, such aspembrolizumab and nivolumab, have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in treating various types of cancer, including melanoma, lung cancer, and bladder cancer.CAR-T Therapy:Another promising approach in cancer immunotherapy is chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy. This cutting-edge technique involves modifying a patient's own T cells to express a specific receptor, called a CAR, which enables them to recognize and attack cancer cells. CAR-T therapy has shown remarkable success in treating certain types of hematological malignancies, including acute lymphoblastic leukemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. However, there are challenges associated with CAR-T therapy, including high costs, potential side effects, and limited application in solid tumors.Cancer Vaccines:The development of cancer vaccines is another area of active research. Cancer vaccines aim to stimulate the immune system to recognize and target cancer cells, similar to how traditional vaccines prevent infections. Different types of cancer vaccines are being investigated, including peptide vaccines, whole-cell vaccines, and dendritic cell vaccines. Although cancer vaccines are still in the early stages of development, they hold great potential for preventing cancer recurrence and improving patients' survival rates.Combination Therapies:To further enhance the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy, researchers are exploring combination therapies. This approach involves combiningdifferent immunotherapies or combining immunotherapy with other treatment modalities, such as chemotherapy or targeted therapies. Combination therapies have shown promising results in clinical trials, demonstrating improved response rates and survival outcomes. Ongoing research is focused on identifying optimal combinations and sequencing strategies to maximize therapeutic benefits.Conclusion:Cancer immunotherapy has revolutionized the approach to cancer treatment, offering new hope for patients. The advancements in checkpoint inhibitors, CAR-T therapy, cancer vaccines, and combination therapies have significantly improved treatment outcomes and survival rates. However, challenges such as high costs and potential side effects need to be addressed to ensure wider accessibility and safer implementation of these therapies. Continued research and development in this field are crucial for further advancements and ultimately achieving better outcomes for cancer patients.。

医学考研英语作文题目

As a high school student with a keen interest in the medical field, I have always been fascinated by the intricacies of the human body and the science behind it. The idea of pursuing a career in medicine has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. With this in mind, I have been diligently preparing myself for the medical entrance exams, which include a significant component of English proficiency. The following essay explores my journey and thoughts on the importance of English in medical research and practice.The Significance of English in Medical Education and PracticeThe journey towards becoming a medical professional is a long and arduous one, filled with countless hours of studying and understanding complex medical concepts. One aspect that has become increasingly important in this journey is the role of English in medical education and practice. English has emerged as the lingua franca of the global medical community, facilitating communication, research, and the sharing of knowledge across borders.Early Exposure and Its ImpactMy initial exposure to the importance of English in medicine came during my high school years when I attended a seminar on global health issues. The speakers, who were medical professionals from various countries, communicated fluently in English, discussing topics ranging from epidemiology to surgical techniques. This experience opened my eyes to the fact that English is not just a language but a tool that connects themedical community worldwide.The Role of English in Medical LiteratureAs I delved deeper into my studies, I realized that a vast majority of medical literature, including research papers, textbooks, and journals, are published in English. This posed a significant challenge for me, as it required a high level of English proficiency to comprehend and contribute to the field. I began to read medical articles and journals, starting with simpler texts and gradually moving on to more complex material. This not only improved my English skills but also deepened my understanding of various medical topics.English as a Gateway to Global OpportunitiesThe importance of English extends beyond the classroom and into the professional sphere. English proficiency opens doors to international conferences, seminars, and collaborative research projects. It allows medical professionals to share their findings with a global audience and learn from the experiences of others. This exchange of ideas is crucial for the advancement of medical science and the development of innovative treatments and therapies.Overcoming Language BarriersThe journey to mastering medical English has not been without its challenges. The specialized vocabulary and complex sentence structurescan be daunting. However, through consistent practice, including reading, writing, and speaking in English, I have been able to overcome these barriers. Participating in English language debates and discussions on medical topics has further honed my skills and boosted my confidence.The Future of Medical EnglishLooking ahead, I believe that the importance of English in the medical field will only continue to grow. As the world becomes more interconnected, the need for a common language in medicine becomes more apparent. English serves as that common ground, allowing for the seamless exchange of information and ideas.ConclusionIn conclusion, my experiences have underscored the critical role that English plays in the medical field.

2020年考研英语阅读理解模拟试题:医学(18)It was a big week for Alzheimer's disease, and not just because PBS aired The Forgetting, a first-rate documentary about Alzheimer's worth catching in reruns if you missed it the first time. There was also a flurry of scientific news that offered hope to the families already struggling with Alzheimer's, as well as to the baby-boom generation that's up next. Unless something dramatic happens, the number of Americans living with this terrifying brain disease could triple, to about 16 million, over the next 50 years.There's still no cure in sight, but there is progress on several fronts. Among them:MEGADOSE VITAMINS Doctors knew vitamins E and C, both antioxidants, help stave off Alzheimer's, at least in folks who haven't already developed the disorder. What they didn't know——but a big study involving 4,740 participants published in the Archives of Neurology showed——was that the two vitamins taken together in huge daily doses (at least 400 IU of E and more than 500 mg of C) could reduce the risk of Alzheimer's a remarkable 78%.COMBINATION THERAPY A yearlong study of more than 400 Alzheimer's patients showed that two drugs that work differently on the brain's chemistry act well together to help slow down the disease. Patients who were being treated with donepezil (sold as Aricept), an older drug that preserves the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, were also given memantine (Namenda), a new drug approved by the FDA last October that blocks overproduction of a harmful brain chemical called glutamate. The two drugs worked even betterin combination than they did alone, providing substantial benefit for patients with moderate to severe Alzheimer's,according to a report in the Journal of the American Medical Association.BRAIN IMAGING Finally, scientists at the University of Pittsburgh announced that they had successfully developed a procedure that allows them to peer into the brains of Alzheimer's patients with positron emission tomography (PET)scans to see telltale plaque deposits. Before now, doctors could not track the progress of these plaques until after the patient died, when the brain could be autopsied. Using the new technique, doctors may be able to begin treatment long before the first symptoms appear.None of these advances is a magic bullet for Alzheimer's disease. If you or your loved ones are concerned, the first step is careful evaluation by your doctor. Not all memory lapses are Alzheimer's, and there are reversible causes of forgetfulness that can be treated if caught early. Also,remember the old adage “use it or lose it.” Mental exercise——reading, doing crossword puzzles, playing chess or Scrabble——is as good for preserving your mind asphysical exercise is for your body.注(1):本文选自Time; 2/2/2004, p78-78, 2/3p, 2c;注(2):本文习题命题模仿对象第1题模仿2002年text 4第1题;第2题模仿1994年真题text 2 第3题;第3模仿2002年真题text 3 第3题,第4—5题模仿2004年text 3第4,5题;1. From the first paragraph, we learn that_________.[A] the baby-boom generation will not suffer from Alzhemer‘s disease[B] recent progress brings hope for Alzheimer victims[C] the week was very important for Alzheimer‘s because a documentary about it was shown on PBS[D] the new achievements made on several fronts show that Alzheimer‘s disease can be cured2. The phrase “stave off” (line 1, paragraph 2) most pro bably means “________”。

[A] getting[B] treating[C] curing[D] preventing3. The report in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that ____________.[A] combination therapy refers to combining two different ways of treatment[B] donepezil helps blocks overproduction of a harmful brain chemical called glutamate[C] combination therapy is of great benefit to all patients with Alzheimer‘s[D] Aricept and Namenda have better effect when used together than used separately4. Why is brain imaging considered progress in treating Alzhemer‘s?[A] Because it helps doctors diagnose and treat the disease in an early phase by tracking the progress of plaques in the brain.[B] Because it helps doctors autopsy the brains of the patients after they died.[C] Because it helps doctors see the plaque desposits clearly so that they can operate on the brain.[D] Because it helps doctors develop a new procedure of tracking the progress of the disease.5. To which of the following is the author likely to agree?[A] Alzhemer‘s disease can be cured thanks to the new advances.[B] Forgetfulness can be cured by doing mental exercise.[C] Careful evaluation is important because it can tell Alzheimer‘s from curable memory lapses, which can be treated if found in an early phase.[D] Mental exercises do good only to forgetfulness caused by reversible causes.答案:B D D A C。
