　　Retirement Brings Most a Big Health Boost

　　The self-reported health of the newly retired improves so much that most feel eight years younger,a new European study suggests.

　　This happy news was true of almost everyone except a small minority-only 2 percent-who had experienced "ideal" conditions in their working life, anyway.

　　"The results really say three things: that work puts an extra burden on the health of older workers, that the effects of this extra burden are largely relieved by retirement and, finally, that both the extra burden and the relief are larger when working conditions are poor," said Hugo Westerlund,lead author of a study published online Nov. 9 in The Lancet. "This indicates that there is a need to provide opportunities for older workers to decrease the demands in their work out of concern of their health and well-being. "

　　But of course, added Westerlund, who is head of epidemiology at the Stress Research Institute at Stockholm University in Sweden"not all older workers suffer from poor perceived health. Many are indeed remarkably healthy and fit for work. But sooner or later, everyone has to slow down because of old age catching up. "

　　Last week, the same group of researchers reported that workers slept better after retirement than before. "Sleep improves at retirement, which suggests that sleeping could be a mediator between work and perception of poor health, "Westerlund said.

　　This study looked at what the same 15,000 French workers, most of them men, had to say about their own health up to seven years pre-retirement and up to seven years post-retirement.

　　As participants got closer to retirement age, their perception of their own health declined, but went up again during the first year of retirement.

　　Those who reported being in poorer health declined from 19. 2 percent in the year prior to retirement to 14.3 percent by the end of the first year after retiring. According to the researchers, that means post-retirement levels of poor health fell to levels last seen eight years previously.

　　The changes were seen in both men and women, across different occupations, and lasted through the first seven years of not punching the clock.

　　Workers who felt worse before retirement and had lower working conditions reported greater improvements as soon as they retired, the team found.

　　16. Most of the newly retired feel younger and healthier than before.

　　A. Right

　　B. Wrong

　　C. Not mentioned

　　17. Older workers are generally as fit for work as younger workers.

　　A. Right

　　B. Wrong

　　C. Not mentioned

　　18. Older workers usually get on very well with younger workers.

　　A. Right

　　19. Europe is aging faster than most other parts of the globe.

　　C. Not mentioned

　　20. The study analyzed the participants' perception of their own health in a certain period.

　　A. Right

　　B. Wrong

　　C. Not mentioned

　　21. The participants came from various countries in Europe.

　　A. Right

　　B. Wrong

　　Parkinson's Disease

　　I Parkinson's disease affects the way you move. It happens when there is a problem with certain nerve cells in the brain. Normally, these nerve cells make an important chemical called dopamine (多巴胺). Dopamine sends signals to the part of your brain that controls movements. It lets your muscles move smoothly and do what you want them to do. When you have Parkinson's, these nerve cells break down. Then you no longer have enough dopamine, and you have trouble moving the way you want to.

　　2 No one knows for sure what makes these nerve cells break down. But scientists are doing a lot of research to look for the answer. They are studying many possible causes, including aging and poisons in the environment. Abnormal genes seem to lead to Parkinson's disease in some people. But so far, there is not enough proof to show that it is always inherited.

　　3 Tremor (顫抖) may be the first symptom you notice. It is one of the most common signs of the disease, although not everyone has it. Tremor often starts in just one arm or leg or only on one side of the body. It may be worse when you are awake but not moving the affected arm or leg. It may get better when you move the limb or you are asleep. In time, Parkinson's affects muscles all through your body, so it can lead to problems like trouble swallowing or constipation (便秘). In the laterstages of the disease, a person with Parkinson's may have a fixed or lank expression, trouble speaking, and other problems. Some people have a decrease in mental skills.

　　4 At this time, there is no cure for Parkinson's disease. But there are several types of medicines that can control the symptoms and make the disease easier to live with. You may need to take several medicines to get the best results.

　　23. Paragraph 1 __________.

　　24. Paragraph 2 __________.

　　25. Paragraph 3 __________.

　　26. Paragraph 4 __________.

　　A. Means of Diagnosis of the Disease

　　第4部分:閱讀理解(第31~45題，每題3分,共45分)

　　下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道題。請根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，為每題確定1個最佳選項。

　　第一篇

　　Do Patients Trust Doctors Too Much

　　Earlier this year, the American College of Surgeons, the national scientific and educational organization of surgeons conducted a nationwide survey that found that the average patient devotes an hour or less to researching his or her surgery or surgeon. While prospective patients worry about the costs or complications of an operation, they don't necessarily look for information that would address their concerns.

　　In fact, more than a third of patients who had an operation in the last five years never reviewed the credentials of the surgeon who operated. Patients are more likely to spend time researching a job change (on average, about 10 hours) or a new car (8 hours) than the operation they are about to submit to or the surgeon who wields (支配) the knife. And many patients are satisfied with the answers they receive from their surgeons or primary care doctors, whoever those individuals happen to be.

　　I felt curious about the survey, so I called Dr. Thomas Russell, executive director of the American College of Surgeons. "There is a tendency for patients not to get particularly involved and not to feel compelled to look into their surgery or surgeons."He told me.

　　There are consequences to that kind of blind trust. "Today, medicine and surgery are really team sports." Dr. Russell continued,"and the patient, as the ultimate decision maker , is the most important member of the team. Mistakes can happen, and patients have to be educated and must understand what is going on. "

　　In other words, a healthy doctor-patient relationship does not simply entail good bedside manners and responsible office management on the part of the doctor. It also requires that patients come to the relationship educated about their doctors, their illnesses and their treatment.

　　"If we are truly going to reform the health care system in the US," Dr.Russell said,"everybody has to participate actively and must educate themselves. That means doctors, nurses, other health care professionals, lawyers pharmaceutical (制藥的) companies, and insurance companies. But most of all, it means the patient."

　　Trust is important. But as Sir Francis Bacon, who was among the first to understand the importance of gathering data in science, once observed , knowledge is power.

　　31. According to the author, patients should spend more time _________.

　　A. researching the American College of Surgeons

　　B. researching their surgery or surgeons

　　C. researching new cars

　　D. researching job changes

　　32. Nowadays patients seem to have _________.

　　A. too much trust in their doctors

　　B. too much information about their doctors

　　C. too little faith in their doctors

　　D. a healthy relationship with their doctors

　　33. Medicine and surgery are now really team sports in which _________.

　　A. patients and doctors play equally important roles

　　B. the patient does not have an active role to play

　　C. doctors have the final say in almost everything

　　D. the patient has the most important role to play

　　34. It is wrong to think that a healthy doctor-patient relationship _________.

　　A. is dependent just on the doctor

　　B. is a goal that can be achieved

　　C. entails any effort on the part of the patient

　　D. is what the patient truly desires

　　35. The author does NOT believe in_________.

　　A. lots of scientific data

　　B. Francis Bacon

　　C. blind trust

　　D. too much knowledge

　　第二篇

　　CT Scans and Lung Cancer

　　Small or slow-growing nodules (小結(jié)節(jié)) discovered on a lung scan are unlikely to develop into tumors over the next two years, researchers reported on Wednesday.

　　The findings reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, could help doctors decide when to do more aggressive testing for lung cancer. They could also help patients avoid unnecessarily aggressive and potentially harmful testing when lesions (損傷) found.

　　Lung cancer, the biggest cancer killer in the United States and globally, is often not diagnosed until it has spread. It kills 159,000 people a year in the United States alone.

　　The work is part of a larger effort to develop guidelines to help doctors decide what to do when such growths, often discovered by accident, appear in a scan.

　　High-tech (高技術(shù)的) X-rays called CT scans can detect tumors-but they see all sorts of other blobs (模糊的一團 ) that are not tumors, and often the only way to tell the difference is to take a biopsy (活檢), a dangerous procedure.

　　At the moment, routine lung cancer screening is considered impractical because of its high cost and because too many healthy people are called back for further testing.

　　Good guideline could help make lung cancer screening practical, Dr. Rob van Kiaveren of the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, who led the new study, said in a telephone interview.

　　The team looked at7,557 people at high risk for lung cancer because they were current and former smokers. All received multidetector (多層螺旋) CT scans that measured the size of any suspicious-looking modules.

　　Volunteers who had nodules over 9.7 mm in width, or had growth of 4.6 mm that grew fast enough to more than double in volume every 400 days, were sent for further testing. Of the 196 people who fell into that category, 70 were found to have lung cancer，10 additional cases were found years later.

　　But of the 7, 361 who tested negative during screening only 20 lung cancer cases later developed.

　　In a second round of screening done one year after the first, 1.8 percent were sent to the doctor because they had a nodule that was large or fast-growing. More than half turned out to have lung cancer.

　　The result means that if the screening test says you don't have lung cancer, you probably don't,the researcher said. "The chances of finding lung cancer one and two years after a negative first-round test were l in l,000 and 3 in l,000 respectively, " they concluded.

　　36. The new study indicates that in case of small or slow-growing lung nodules_________.

　　A. you cannot be too careful

　　B. cancer is just matter of time

　　C. a biopsy is unnecessary

　　D. more aggressive testing is a must

　　37. Which is probably NOT true of lung cancer?

　　A. Smokers are usually considered to be at high risk for it.

　　B. It is the leading cause of cancer deaths around the world.

　　C. 159,000 new cases of it are diagnosed in the US each year.

　　D. It often goes unnoticed until it has spread.

　　38. According to the passage, good guidelines for lung cancer screening ________.

　　A. are a little bit too costly

　　B. do not exist yet

　　C. are being implemented

　　D. have been developed

　　39. All the following statements are true EXCEPT________.

　　A. a relatively small number of the volunteers had large or fast-growing nodules

　　B. almost all those with large or fast-growing nodules were found to have lung cancer

　　C. all the volunteers were at high risk for lung cancer

　　D. most of the volunteers tested negative during screening

　　40. In the eyes of the researchers the percentages given in the last paragraph ________.

　　A. are somewhat inaccurate

　　B. are pretty small

　　C. are rather high

　　D. are quite unbelievable

　　第三篇

　　The Iceman

　　On a September day in 1991, two Germans were climbing the mountains between Austria and Italy, high up on a mountain pass, they found the body of a man lying on the ice. At that height (10,499 feet, or 3,200 meters), the ice is usually permanent, but 1991 had been an especially warm year. The mountain ice had melted more than usual and so the body had come to the surface.

　　It was lying face downward. The skeleton(骨架) was in perfect condition, except for a wound in the head. There was still skin on the bones and the remains of some clothes. The hands were still holding the wooden handle of an ax and on the feet there were very simple leather and cloth boots. Nearby was a pair of gloves made of tree bark (樹皮) and a holder for arrows.

　　Who was this man? How and when had he died? Everybody had a different answer to these questions. Some people thought that it was from this century, perhaps the body of a soldier who died in World War I, since several soldiers had already been found in the area. A Swiss woman believed it might be her father, who had died in those mountains twenty years before and whose body had never been found. The scientists who rushed to look at the body thought it was probably much older,maybe even a thousand years old.

　　With modern dating techniques, the scientists soon learned that the Iceman was about 5,300 years old. Born in about 3300 BC, he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe. At first scientists thought he was probably a hunter who had died from an accident in the high mountains. More recent evidence, however, tells a different story. A new kind of X-ray shows an arrowhead still stuck in his shoulder. It left only a tiny hole in his skin, but it caused internal damage and bleeding. He almostcertainly died from this wound, and not from the wound on the back of his head. This means that he was probably in some kind of a battle. It may have been part of a larger war, or he may have been fighting bandits. He may even have been a bandit himself.

　　By studying his clothes and tools, scientists have already learned a great deal from the iceman about the times he lived in. We may never know the full story of how he died, but he has given us important clues to the history of those distant times.

　　41. The body of the iceman was found in the mountains mainly because _________.

　　A. the melted ice made him visible

　　B. he was just on a mountain pass

　　C. two Germans were climbing the mountains

　　D. he was lying on the ice

　　42. What can be inferred from paragraph2?

　　A. The Iceman was struck dead from behind.

　　B. The Iceman could have died from the wound in the head.

　　C. The Iceman was killing while working.

　　D. The Iceman lived a poor life.

　　43. All the following are assumptions once made about the Iceman EXCEPT _________.

　　A. he was a Swiss woman's long-lost father

　　B. he came from Italy

　　C. he was a soldier in World War I

　　D. he was born about a thousand years ago

　　44. The scientists made the deduction that the Iceman _________.

　　A. had got a wound on the back of his head

　　B. had a tiny hole in his skin causing his death

　　C. was hit in the shoulder by an arrowhead

　　D. was probably in some' kind of a battle

　　45. The word "bandits" in paragraph 4 could be best replaced by _________.

　　A. soldiers

　　B. hunters

　　C. robbers

　　D. shooters

　　Know Just How You Feel

　　Do you feel Sad? Happy? Angry? You may think that the way you show these emotions is unique. Well, think again. Even the expression of the most personal feelings can be classified, according to Mind Reading, a DVD displaying every possible human emotion. It demonstrates 412 distinct ways in which we feel: the first visual dictionary of the human heart.

　　Attempts to classify expressions began in the mid-1800s, when Darwin divided the emotions into six types-anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise and enjoyment. ________(46) Every other feeling was thought to derive from Darwin's small group. More complex expression of emotion were probably learned and therefore more specific to each culture. But now it is believed that many more facial expressions are shared worldwide. ________(47) The mind Reading DVD is a systematic visual record' of these expressions.

　　The project was conducted by a C ambridge professor as an aid for people with autism (孤獨癥), who have difficulty both reading and expressing emotions. But it quickly became apparent that it had broader uses. Actors and teachers, for example, need to understand a wide range of expressions. The professor and his research team first had to define an "emotion".________(48) Using this definition, 1,512 emotion terms were identified and discussed. This list was eventually reduced t0 412, from"afraid" to"wanting".

　　Once these emotions were defined and classified, a DVD seemed the clearest and most efficient way to display them. In Mind Reading, each expression is acted out by six different actors in three seconds. _________(49) The explanation for this is simple: we may find it difficult to describe emotions using words, but we instantly recognize one when we see it on someone's face."It was really clear when the actors had got it right, " says Cathy Collis, who directed the DVD. " Although they were given some direction," says Ms Collis, "the actors were not told which facial muscles they should move. _________(50) " For example, when someone feels contempt you can't say for certain that their eyebrows always go down.

　　Someone who has tried to establish such rules is the American, Professor Paul Ekman, who has built a database of how the face moves for every emotion. The face can make 43 distinct muscle movements called"action units". These can be combined into more than 10, 000 visible facial shapes. Ekman has written out a pattem of facial muscular movements to represent each emotion.

　　A. He said that the expression of these feelings was universal and recognizable by anyone, from any culture.

　　B. Any other method of showing all the 412 emotions, such as words, would have been far less effective.

　　C. Research has also been done to find out which areas of the brain read emotional expressions.

　　D. They decided that it was a mental state that could be preceded by "I feel" or "he looks" or "she sounds".

　　E. We thought of trying to describe each emotion, but it would have been almost impossible to make clear rules for this.

　　F. These particular muscles are difficult to control, and few people can do it.

　　Cancer experts _______(58) the rising number of skin cancer cases largely to the surge in people using tanning salons. "Spending time on sun beds is just as _______(59)as staying out too long in the sun," said Caroline Cerny of Cancer Research UK. The organization is starting a SunSmart _______(60) to warn Britons of the dangers of being too bronzed.

　　"The intensity of ultraviolet rays in some sun beds can be more than 10_______(61) stronger than the midday sun," Cerny said.

　　第2部分：閱讀判斷

　　16．A [解析]即該句表述正確。從第一段我們知道調(diào)查顯示剛退休的人健康狀況都有好轉(zhuǎn)，他們更聲稱自己年輕了8歲。而第二段告訴我們有少部分人不認為自己健康有所改善。 17．B [解析]即該句表述不正確。從第三段我們了解到工作會給年齡大的人帶來額外的負擔(dān)，并且對健康有很大的影響，因此不能像要求年輕人一樣要求他們。

　　18．C [解析]即文中并未提到。通讀本文，作者并未提到老年工作者與年輕工作者如何相處的話題。

　　19．C [解析]即文中并未提及。文中并未談到歐洲人是否比其他地方的人老得快。

　　20．A[解析]即該句表述正確。從第五段和第六段我們知道該研究針對的是退休前退休后的老人對自己健康狀況的自述。因此該句是正確的。

　　21．B [解析]即該句表述不正確。從第五段我們知道該調(diào)查是對法國老人健康的調(diào)查。

　　參考譯文

　　退休給大部分人一個改善健康的機會

　　一份新的來自歐洲的調(diào)查顯示，剛退休的人自言健康狀況得到了很大改善，以至于大部分人感覺自己年輕了8歲。

　　幾乎每個人都認同這個令人愉快的消息，除了一少部分人--他們僅占被測全體人員的2％，無論怎樣，這些人都經(jīng)歷過職業(yè)生涯的完美狀態(tài)。

　　11月9日在網(wǎng)絡(luò)版《柳葉刀》雜志上刊登了一項研究，其主要作者Hugo westerlund說： "結(jié)果說明以下三點：(1)工作給年紀(jì)大的勞動者帶來額外的負擔(dān)，(2)額外負擔(dān)對身體產(chǎn)生的影響因為退休而得到緩解，(3)在工作環(huán)境惡化的情況下身體上的額外負擔(dān)和退休所帶來的緩解都會更大。這也說明出于健康的考慮，我們需要為上年紀(jì)的工人提供機會以降低對他們工作的要求。"

　　westerluncl在瑞典斯德哥爾摩大學(xué)壓力研究學(xué)院主持流行病學(xué)的研究，他同時補充說： "并不是所有年紀(jì)大的工人健康狀況都不好。很多人非常健康且適宜工作。但隨著年紀(jì)越來越大每個人早晚都得減緩生活的腳步。"

　　上周，同_研究團隊的報告指出工人們退休后比退休前睡得更好。Westerlunci說，退休后睡眠質(zhì)量的提高說明睡眠質(zhì)量可能是影響工作和身體狀況之間關(guān)系的介質(zhì)。

　　這一研究調(diào)查的是15，000位法國工人對于退休前7年和退休后7年身體狀況的自述，他們大多都是男性。

　　隨著參與調(diào)查的對象越來越接近退休年齡，他們對自身健康的認知在降低，但是在退休的第一年這一認知又提高了。

　　自稱身體狀況差的人從退休前一年的19．2％降到退休后第一年底的14．3％。據(jù)調(diào)查人員說這意味著退休后身體差的比率回到了8年前對他們考察的水平。

　　無論男女，無論從事何種職業(yè)，都存在這種變化，它會持續(xù)到不用打卡上下班后的第一個7年。

　　研究小組還發(fā)現(xiàn)那些退休前身體狀況不佳，或工作條件差的人退休后身體狀況改善的幅度更大。

　　第3部分：概括大意與完成句子

　　23．D [解析]即帕金森綜合征的定義。本段的中心意思是告訴大家什么是帕金森氏綜合征。

　　24．E[解析]即導(dǎo)致疾病產(chǎn)生的可能原因。本段主要探討的是這種疾病發(fā)生的原因。

　　25．F[解析]即疾病的典型癥狀。本段告訴我們帕金森氏綜合征的一些典型的病癥，如顫抖、吞咽困難及便秘，等等。

　　26．C [解析]即通常的治療方法。從本段我們知道，雖然還不能治愈，但是通過幾種藥物是可以控制患者的病癥的。

　　27．B[解析]即如果你不再有足夠的多巴胺就會發(fā)現(xiàn)你想隨心所欲的行動變得困難。根據(jù)第一段我們知道這里應(yīng)該選B。

　　28．F[解析]即科學(xué)家做了很多研究試圖發(fā)現(xiàn)導(dǎo)致帕金森綜合征的病因。從第二段的敘述我們知道應(yīng)該選F。

　　29．D [解析]即帕金森病最常見的病癥是顫抖，它可能是你發(fā)現(xiàn)的第一個癥狀。從第三段的敘述我們知道應(yīng)該選D。

　　30．C [解析]患帕金森綜合征的人必須得學(xué)會同這種疾病共處，因為現(xiàn)在人們還無法治愈它。從最后一段我們得知應(yīng)該選擇C項。

　　參考譯文

　　帕金森氏綜合征

　　帕金森氏綜合征會影響你行動的方式。當(dāng)大腦的某些神經(jīng)細胞出現(xiàn)問題時，這種疾病就會爆發(fā)。正常情況下，這些神經(jīng)細胞會產(chǎn)生一種叫多巴胺的重要的化學(xué)物質(zhì)。多巴胺會向你的大腦中控制行為的部分發(fā)出信號。它使你的肌肉能活動自如，做你想做的事。一旦你患上帕金森氏綜合征，這些神經(jīng)細胞就會出問題。接著，你不再有足夠的多巴胺，并開始行動困難。

　　沒人知道什么促使這些神經(jīng)細胞出現(xiàn)問題。但是，科學(xué)家們做了很多研究來尋找答案。他們研究了很多可能的病因，包括年齡老化和環(huán)境污染。在某些人身上，似乎是不正常的基因?qū)е铝伺两鹕�氏綜合征的發(fā)病。但是目前沒有足夠的證據(jù)表明它是遺傳的。

　　顫抖可能是你注意到的第一個癥狀。雖然并不是每一位患者都有這種癥狀，但是它是這種疾病最常見的表現(xiàn)之一。更重要的是，并不是每一個顫抖的人都患有帕金森氏綜合征。顫抖往往從一條胳膊，一條腿或身體的一側(cè)開始。這種情況在你醒著但是沒有移動受影響的胳膊或者腿時更嚴(yán)重些。但是當(dāng)你移動肢體或睡眠時情況會有所緩和。不久，帕金森氏綜合征會影響你的全身肌肉，導(dǎo)致吞咽困難及便秘。在疾病后期，患這種病的人可能會有表情僵化，言語困難及其他一些問題。一些患者也會思維退化。

　　現(xiàn)在還沒有辦法治愈帕金森氏綜合征。但是有幾種藥物能控制癥狀并讓患者好受些。如果你的癥狀很輕微的話，你可能根本不需要治療。直到你的癥狀影響到你的日常生活方式時，醫(yī)生才會給你開藥。伴隨著你的癥狀的惡化，醫(yī)生將會調(diào)整用藥。為了得到最好的療效你得吃幾種藥。

　　第4部分：閱讀理解

　　第一篇

　　31．B[解析]本題是細節(jié)題。從第一段和第二段的表述中我們知道，有三分之一的患者不愿花時間對手術(shù)和做手術(shù)的醫(yī)生進行調(diào)查，這比他們在換一份新工作或一輛新車上花的時間還要少。

　　32．A [解析]本題是理解題。從第四段我們知道，患者對醫(yī)生有一種盲目的信任。

　　33．D [解析]本題是細節(jié)題。從第四段我們知道，在治療的團隊里，患者是最重要的成員。

　　34．A [解析]本題是理解題。文章通篇在討論的是患者對醫(yī)生及手術(shù)缺乏了解，及健康的醫(yī)患關(guān)系應(yīng)當(dāng)包含患者的參與。因此A項提到的健康的醫(yī)患關(guān)系只依賴醫(yī)生是錯誤的，因此選A。

　　35．C[解析]本題是細節(jié)理解題。最后一段，作者提到培根是為了驗證知識很重要的觀點，因此他肯定是相信培根及培根的觀點的，唯獨不相信的是盲目的信任，因此選C。

　　參考譯文

　　患者太相信醫(yī)生了嗎

　　今年早些時候，全國外科醫(yī)生科研教育組織--美國外科醫(yī)生聯(lián)合會進行了一項全國性的調(diào)查，發(fā)現(xiàn)平均每個患者花一小時或者更少的時間研究他或者她的外科手術(shù)或外科醫(yī)生。即將入院的人會擔(dān)心手術(shù)的費用和復(fù)雜程度，但不一定會去查找能解決他們的憂慮的信息。

　　實際上，在過去5年里動過手術(shù)的患者中有三分之一還多的人從沒有仔細核查過為他們做手術(shù)的醫(yī)生的從業(yè)資格。患者更傾向于花時間調(diào)查一份新工作(平均花10小時)或一輛新車(8小時)而不是他們馬上要申請做的手術(shù)或向他們揮舞手術(shù)刀的醫(yī)生。而且很多患者對他們從外科醫(yī)生或者護理醫(yī)生那里得到的回答都很滿意，無論他們咨詢的對象是誰，結(jié)果也會是這樣。

　　我對這項調(diào)查很感興趣，因此就打電話給美國外科醫(yī)生聯(lián)合會的行政主管Thomas Russell大夫。他告訴我："患者們確實不想?yún)⑴c過多或者不想感到被強迫著調(diào)查他們的手術(shù)或醫(yī)生。"

　　這種盲目的信任會導(dǎo)致幾種結(jié)果。Thomas Russell醫(yī)生繼續(xù)說道："今天，醫(yī)療和外科手術(shù)都是團隊協(xié)作的。而患者是最終做決定的人，是這個團隊中最重要的成員。確實會有失誤，患者必須被指導(dǎo)并且了解正在進行的事情。"

　　換而言之，一種健康的醫(yī)患關(guān)系不是簡單的醫(yī)生對病人良好的態(tài)度或是對醫(yī)生負責(zé)任的辦公室管理機制。它還需要患者真正走入這種關(guān)系，使他們對醫(yī)生、自己患的疾病以及治療方法都有了解。

　　Russell醫(yī)生說："如果我們真要改革美國的醫(yī)療保障制度，每個人都應(yīng)該積極參與并教育自己。這對醫(yī)生、護士、其他的醫(yī)療保障專家、制藥公司的律師及保險公司都有重大意義。然而，最重要的是對患者有意義。"

　　信任很重要。佛朗西斯·培根是最早理解科學(xué)上收集數(shù)據(jù)重要性的人之一。正像他曾經(jīng)觀察到的：知識就是力量。

　　第二篇

　　36．C[解析]本題是細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第一段的敘述我們知道肺部掃描發(fā)現(xiàn)的小的生長緩慢的結(jié)節(jié)在其后的兩年里不會發(fā)展成腫瘤。因此活檢或是進一步的檢查是不需要的。

　　37．C [解析]本題是細節(jié)題。選項A、B、D在文中第三和第八段中都提到過，而選項C所講的159，000人被確診肺癌不符合第二段中提到的159，000人死于肺癌的事實。

　　38．D [解析]本題是細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第四段我們知道專家們正在發(fā)展完善對醫(yī)生的指導(dǎo)方針。

　　39．B [解析]本題是細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第十一段我們知道A項正確、B項錯誤；由第八段知C項正確；由第十段知D項正確。

　　40．B[解析]本題是理解題。根據(jù)最后一段，我們知道這個患病比率在專家那里是忽略不計的，如果檢查表明你沒有患肺癌，你就可能不會得。

　　參考譯文

　　CT掃描與肺癌

　　周三調(diào)查者們報道，肺部掃描發(fā)現(xiàn)的小的生長緩慢的結(jié)節(jié)在其后的兩年里不會發(fā)展成腫瘤。

　　新英格蘭醫(yī)學(xué)雜志上刊登的這些發(fā)現(xiàn)有助于醫(yī)生決定何時做更進一步的肺癌檢測。同時也能幫助患者避免在發(fā)現(xiàn)損傷時做不必要的進一步的或潛在的有傷害的檢查。

　　作為美國甚至全世界最大的癌癥殺手，肺癌常常是直到擴散時才被診斷出。每年，僅僅在美國就有159，000人死于肺癌。

　　這項工作是致力于完善指導(dǎo)方針工作的一部分，意在幫助醫(yī)生決定對掃描中常常偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)的這種腫塊采取何種措施。

　　被稱為CT掃描的高科技x射線能夠探測到腫瘤--但它們探測到的是模糊一團。區(qū)別的唯一辦法是一種非常危險的程序，即活檢。

　　現(xiàn)在，常規(guī)的肺癌檢查被認為是不實際的，因為它花費高，而且很多健康的人被召回做更進一步的檢查。

　　荷蘭鹿特丹Erasmus醫(yī)學(xué)中心指導(dǎo)這項新研究的Rob van kiaveren醫(yī)生在電話采訪中說好的指導(dǎo)方針能讓肺癌檢查更實用。

　　這個研究小組檢查了7，557位肺癌高患病風(fēng)險者，因為他們現(xiàn)在或曾經(jīng)是煙民。所有人都接受了多層螺旋CT掃描，這種掃描能測量任何可疑塊狀物的尺寸。

　　那些有9．7毫米寬小結(jié)節(jié)的或有在400天里體積增長超過一倍的4．6毫米寬腫塊的志愿會接受更進一步的檢查。這個類別的196人中有70人發(fā)現(xiàn)患了肺癌，10人幾年后發(fā)現(xiàn)肺癌。

　　但是檢查中7，361位查出陰性的志愿者中僅有20例患了肺癌。

　　第一次檢查一年后的第二輪檢查中，有1．8％的人因為有大的結(jié)節(jié)或結(jié)節(jié)生長過快而被送去就醫(yī)。這其中超過一半的人最終患了肺癌。

　　調(diào)查人員說，這一結(jié)果表明，如果檢查表明你沒有患肺癌，你就可能不會得。他們總結(jié)說： "在第一輪檢查后是陰性的患者一年及兩年后患肺癌的幾率是1：1000和3：1000。"

　　參考譯文

　　冰人

　　1991年9月的一天，兩個德國人正在攀登位于奧地利和意大利之間的山脈，在山上一處要隘發(fā)現(xiàn)了一具躺在冰上的尸體。在那個高度(10，499英尺，3，200米)，山上是常年結(jié)冰的，但是1991年特別溫暖。山上的冰比往年融化得多，因此尸體就出現(xiàn)在冰面上了。

　　這具尸體面部朝下。除了頭上的傷外，骨骼很完整。骨頭上仍然保留著皮膚和衣物的殘留。手上攥著一把斧頭的木頭把，腳上還穿著皮革布料制成的靴子。旁邊還有一雙樹皮制成的手套和一個箭托。

　　這人是誰?他怎么樣死的?何時死的?每個人對這些問題都有不同的回答。一些人認為這是本世紀(jì)死于第一次世界大戰(zhàn)的士兵的尸體，因為這一區(qū)域有好幾個士兵的尸體被發(fā)現(xiàn)了。

　　一位瑞士婦女認為那人是她父親，他二十多年前死于這片山巒上而且尸體從未被找到過。蜂擁而至察看這具尸體的科學(xué)家們認為它的年代更久遠，也許有一千多年了。

　　用現(xiàn)代斷代技術(shù)，科學(xué)家們很快就發(fā)現(xiàn)這個冰人大約有5，300歲了。生于公元前3300年，他生活在青銅器時代的歐洲。最初，科學(xué)家們認為他可能是一位死于高山上一場意外的獵戶。然而更多的證據(jù)卻顯示了一個完全不同的故事。一種新型的x射線顯示他的肩膀上仍然插著一個箭頭。它僅在他的皮膚上留下了微小的孔，但是卻導(dǎo)致體內(nèi)損傷和出血。他基本上肯定是由于這個傷口致死，而不是死于頭后部的傷口。這表明他可能死于某場戰(zhàn)斗中。也許這是一場大戰(zhàn)役的一部分，或者他是死于同強盜搏斗中。又或者他本身就是一個強盜。

　　通過研究他的衣物和工具，科學(xué)家們得到了很多關(guān)于他生活的年代的信息。雖然我們永遠都不會知道他是如何死的，但是他卻已經(jīng)讓我們了解了很多關(guān)于那個遙遠年代的重要歷史線索。

　　第5部分：補全短文

　　46．A[解析]本題考查的是對上下文之間意義關(guān)系的理解和對文章細節(jié)的把握。上句是說"達爾文將情緒分為6種類型--憤怒，害怕，悲傷，厭惡，驚奇和欣賞。"下句肯定是于此相關(guān)的，A項里的he指代的就是達爾文，因此只能選A。

　　47．C [解析]本題考查的是對上下文之間意義關(guān)系的理解和對文章細節(jié)的把握。前面講了對人的感情表達上的研究，后面就要提到在這一領(lǐng)域其他方面的研究。

　　48．D [解析]本句之前提到了教授和他的研究團隊為"情感"下定義，根據(jù)上下文的意思，推斷此句應(yīng)為情感的具體定義。這里只有D項符合題意。

　　49．B [解析]后面一句是對這一句的解釋，講的是從人臉上辨認情緒要比從語言描述中辨認更容易，因此只有B項合適。

　　50．F[解析]前面講的是雖然演員們會接受某些指導(dǎo)，但是不會確切去指示他們動哪里的面部肌肉。與此相關(guān)的僅有F選項。

　　參考譯文

　　知道你是如何想的

　　你感到悲傷嗎?還是幸福?或者憤怒呢?也許你認為自己表現(xiàn)這些感情的方式是獨一無二的。好，再想想。根據(jù)一個讀懂思維儀器，即可展現(xiàn)每一種可能的人類情感的DVD，就算是最個人的情感表情也可以被歸類。它展示了412種我們感覺到的不同方式：是第一部人類內(nèi)心的視覺詞典。

　　對情感歸類嘗試始于19世紀(jì)中葉，那時達爾文將情緒分為6種類型--憤怒，害怕，悲傷，厭惡，驚奇和欣賞。他說這些感覺的表達對來自任何文化的每個人來講都是一樣的，是可辨認的。所有其它感覺都源于達爾文確定的這幾種類型。更復(fù)雜些的情緒表達也可能被認，因此對每種文化而言更具體。但是人們認為更多的面部表情是世界性的。也有研究是為了找到大腦中理解感情表達的區(qū)域。讀懂思維DVD是對這些表情的系統(tǒng)視覺收錄。

　　由劍橋大學(xué)的一位教授實施的這項計劃是為了幫助患孤獨癥的人，他們在理解別人和表達自己的感情方面都有困難。但是很快這項計劃顯示出更廣泛的用途。比如，演員和教師需要了解各種各樣的表情。這位教授同他的研究團隊首先給"情感"下了定義。他們將其定義為：情感是一種含有"我覺得"或"他看起來"以及"她聽起來"意味的思想狀態(tài)。利用這個定義，有1，512個情感術(shù)語被鑒定和討論。最終列舉到名單上的術(shù)語降到從"擔(dān)心"到"需要"的412個。

　　一旦這些情感被定義和歸類，DVD成了最清楚最有效的展現(xiàn)它們的方式。在讀懂思維里，每個表情都由6個不同的演員在三秒內(nèi)完成。任何其他表現(xiàn)這412種表情的方式，例如，說話，都遠遠不如它有效。原因很簡單：我們可能覺得用話語描述感情很困難，但是我們在看到一個人臉上的表情時會立刻認出來。這部DVD的導(dǎo)演Cathy Collis說："當(dāng)演員們表演準(zhǔn)確時表情就特別明顯。雖然他們會接受某些指導(dǎo)，但是不會被確切告知動哪里的面部肌肉。"這些具體的肌肉是很難控制的，沒幾個人能做到。比如，當(dāng)人們感覺你不確定某事時，他們的眉毛總是向下。

　　有人試圖創(chuàng)建一些規(guī)范，他就是美國的Paul Ekman教授。他已經(jīng)為每種表情創(chuàng)建了一個數(shù)據(jù)庫。面部可以做出43種被稱為"運動單元"的不同的肌肉動作。這些肌肉動作可以被融入10，000多個可視的面部輪廓里。Ekman已經(jīng)描述出了代表每一種情感的面部肌肉動作的模式。

　　第6部分：完形填空

　　參考譯文

　　皮膚癌

　　周三國內(nèi)頂尖的癌癥組織聲稱黑素瘤--一種最致命的皮膚癌現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)成為英國年輕女性中最常見的癌癥。根據(jù)英國癌癥研究會的最新數(shù)據(jù)，皮膚癌已經(jīng)超過宮頸癌，成為危害20多歲女性的最大癌癥殺手。

　　這一趨勢特別令人擔(dān)憂，因為年輕人并不是最容易患黑素瘤的人群。通常皮膚癌患病率最高的是75歲以上的人群。

　　然而專家擔(dān)心越來越多的年輕人被診斷患有皮膚癌也許是一個危險的趨勢的開始。在英國20多歲的女性患者僅占所有被確診病患的一小部分，但是所有案例中的近三分之一是50歲以下的人群。

　　基于現(xiàn)在的數(shù)據(jù)，英國癌癥研究會預(yù)測到2024年黑素瘤將成為所有年齡段的男性和女性中第四大癌癥，而且發(fā)病率會從每年9，000例增至15，500多例。

　　癌癥專家將皮膚癌病例的激增歸因于對曬黑美容沙龍偏愛人數(shù)的增多。英國癌癥研究會的Caroline Cemy說："花時間躺在太陽床上跟在太陽底下待的時間太長一樣危險。"該研究會將開展聰明的太陽運動來警告那些曬得太黑的英國人。

　　Cerny還說："一些太陽床上紫外線的密集程度是正午太陽的十倍還多。"

　　在美國，有幾個州要求未成年人去曬黑美容前要得到父母的允許。威斯康星州禁止16歲及以下的孩子使用曬黑床，而其它州則禁止14歲以下的孩子使用。至少有29個州對未成年人使用曬黑床有規(guī)范限制。

　　在英國，雖然蘇格蘭政府已經(jīng)通過立法禁止18周歲以下的青少年使用曬黑床，但是還沒有正式執(zhí)行。而英國其它地方還沒有這方面立法的計劃。

　　世界衛(wèi)生組織曾經(jīng)建議限制使用曬黑床，因為它們對皮膚中的DNA有潛在的破壞。

　　專家們說如果人們在太陽下采取正確的防范措施或避免使用曬黑床，大部分致命的皮膚癌是可以被避免的。
