英语四级仔细阅读练习题(1)


  Just seven years ago, the Jarvik-7 artificial heart was being cheered as the model of human creativeness. The sight of Barney Clark-alive and conscious after trading his diseased heart for a metal-and-plastic pump-convinced the press, the public and many doctors that the future had arrived. It hadn’t. After monitoring production of the Jarvik-7, and reviewing its effects on the 150 or so patients (most of whom got the device as a temporary measure) the U.S. Food and Drug Administration concluded that the machine was doing more to endanger lives than to save them. Last week the agency cancelled its earlier approval, effectively banning (禁止) the device.


  The recall may hurt Symbion Inc., maker of the Jarvik-7, but it won’t end the request for an artificial heart. One problem with the banned mode is that the tubes connecting it to an external power source createda passage for infection. Inventors are now working on new devices that would be fully placed, along with atiny power pack, in the patient’s chest. The first sample products aren’t expected for another 10 or 20 years. But some people are already worrying that they’ll work—and that America’s overextended health—care programs will lose a precious $2.5 billion to $5 billion a year providing them for a relatively few dying patients. If such expenditures (开支) cut into funding for more basic care, the net effect could actually be a decline in the nation’s health.


  练习题:


  Choose correct answers to the question:


  1. According to the passage, the Jarvik-7 artificial heart proved to be _____.


  A. a technical failure


  B. a technical wonder


  C. a good life-saver


  D. an effective means to treat heart disease


  2. From the passage we know that Symbion Inc. _____.


  A. has been banned by the government from producing artificial hearts


  B. will review the effects of artificial hearts before designing new models


  C. may continue to work on new models of reliable artificial hearts


  D. can make new models of artificial hearts available on the market in 10 to 20 years


  3. The new models of artificial hearts are expected ______.


  A. to have a working life of 10 or 20 years


  B. to be set fully in the patient’s chest


  C. to be equipped with an external power source


  D. to create a new passage for infection


  4. The word "them" in Line 7, Para. 2 refers to _____.


  A. doctors who treat heart diseases


  B. makers of artificial hearts


  C. America’s health-care programs


  D. New model of artificial hearts


  5. Some people feel that ______.


  A. artificial hearts are seldom effective


  B. the country should not spend so much money on artificial hearts


  C. the country is not spending enough money on artificial hearts


  D. America’s health-care programs are not doing enough for the nation’s health


  1.[A] 文章一开头说Jarvik-7以前被认为是一大技术成就,但文章第1段倒数第2句中提到,美国食品与药品管理局得出结论,认为这种仪器与其说是挽救生命,不如说是将生命置于更加危险的境地。由此可知Jarvik-7是一个技术失败,故选A。


  2.[C] 文章第2段第1句提到,要求生产人造心脏的Symbion公司召回其销售的人造心脏,这对该公来说或许是一种损失,但这一禁令不会终结人们对人造心脏的需求。从这一句可推断出应选C。原文只提到政府禁止Jarvik-7这种型号的人造心脏,A把范围扩大到了所有的人造心脏;B在原文中并未提及;D说的对象不是Symbion公司,也可排除。


  3.[B] 文章中第2段第3句提到,这种新仪器可以完全置于患者的胸腔内,B与之相符,故选B。A在文中并未提及;C、D说的对象是Jarvik-7,故也排除。


  4.[D] 从句子意思看,“向为数不多的瀕危病人提供” 的显然是上一句中的sample products,即可与电源组一并植于人体内的new devices,故选D。


  5.[B] 第2段倒数第2句But some people are already worrying…这句话体现了有些人已经在担心,为为数不多的垂危病人动用巨额资金购置新型的人造心脏是否合算,而由该段最后一句可以看出作者认为这样的做法是不明智的,因此B是答案。


 英语四级仔细阅读练习题(2)


  It happens to every medical student sooner or later. You get a cough that persists for a while. Ordinarily,you would just ignore it--but now, armed with your rapidly growing medical knowledge, you can’t help worrying. The cough could mean just a cold, but it could also be a sign of lung cancer.


  For doctors in training, nurses and medical journalists, hypochondria is an occupational danger. The feeling usually passes after a while, leaving only a funny story to tell at a dinner party. But for the tens ofthousands who suffer from true hypochondria they live in constant terror that they are dying of some awfuldisease, or even several awful diseases at once. Doctors can assure them that there’s nothing wrong, but since the cough is real, the assurances fall on deaf ears. And because no physician or test can offer a 100% guarantee that one doesn’t have cancer, a hypochondriac always has fuel to feed Iris .or her worst fears.


  Hypochondriacs don’t harm just themselves; they block the whole healthcare system. Although they account for only about 6% of the patients who visit doctors every year, they tend to burden their physicians with frequent visits that take up excessive amounts of time. And the problem may be worse, thanks to the popularity of medical information on the Internet. They go on the Web and learn about new diseases and new presentations of old diseases that they never even knew about before. Doctors have taken to calling this phenomenon cyberchondria (网络疑病症).


  练习题:


  Choose correct answers to the question:


  1.According to the passage, if you suffer from hypochondria, ______.


  A.you must be a medical student, or a medical worker


  B.you are haunted by a possibly inexistent disease


  C.you will never get rid of this disease


  D.you always tell funny stories at dinner parties


  2.Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?


  A.Hypochondria happens to everybody sooner or later.


  B.We needn’t worry about hypochondria since it is not dangerous at all.


  C.Hypochondria originates from too much knowledge of medicine.


  D.Not only individuals but also the healthcare system might be disturbed by unnecessary terrors.


  3.Why can’t doctors convince the suffers that there is nothing wrong?


  A.Because the doctors can’t cure the minor diseases


  B.Because the doctors don’t assure them of that


  C.Because the sufferers are deaf and cannot hear what the doctors say


  D.Because lack of absolute guarantee makes the patients doubtful


  4.The problem becomes worse due to _____


  A.the increasing number of patients


  B.the widespread medical knowledge on the Internet


  C.the patients,regular visits to doctors that occupy too much time


  D.new diseases and symptoms emerge constantly


  5.What does the author most probably think about hypochondria?


  A.The author considers that hypochondria is an incurable disease


  B.The author thinks that the consequences of hypochondria might be disastrous


  C.The author suggests that the patients who have hypochondria should set their hearts at rest


  D.The author sympathizes with the patients who suffer from hypochondria


  1.[B] 事实细节题。仔细读完第2段后半部分,不难发现hypochondria只是瞎猜疑,故选项B正确。时常怀疑自己生病是医务人员的职业病,但为此困扰的并不仅仅是他们,因为第2段第3句说:“But... who suffer from true hypochondria...”,说明医务人员不是真正的疑病症患者,故选项A不正确。选项C过于极端。选项D是对原文断章取义。


  2.[D] 主旨大意题。第1段以举例方式引入主题,第2段对hypochondria下定义,第3段则论述其对医疗保健体系造成的干扰,选项D正确全面地概括了文章大意,为正确答案。全文的中心词是hypochondria,在四个选项中,干扰项(选项A、B、C)都出现了该词,只有正确选项(选项D)没有直接使用该词。


  3.[D] 事实细节题。根据文中的“because no physician or test can offer a 100% guarantee that one doesn’t have cancer...”即可得出选项D正确。原文虽有表示“咳嗽确实存在”,但这并不意味着医生不能治好类似的小毛病,因此选项A不正确。误选C是没有正确理解短语fall on deaf ears,该固定表达的意思是“充耳不闻”。


  4.[B] 推理判断题。句中thanks to是讽刺的用法,引出原因,故选项B正确。本题考查因果关系,要辨别明显的因果关系,只要关注文中是否有because, reason, due to, thanks to, result等词即可。


  5.[C] 观点态度题。从作者对hypochondria的描述可以看出此病只是源于多疑,并非生理上的不治之症,因此只要病人们放宽心,此病就能痊愈。故选项C正确。选项A的incurable和B的disastrous都太绝对,比较容易排除。而本文基调较为客观,作者没有表露个人情感,故选项D也不正确。


英语四级仔细阅读练习题(3)


  Oceanography has been defined as “The application of all sciences to the study of the sea”.


  Before the nineteen century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work.


  For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that question “What is at the bottom of the oceans?” had tobe answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The had to know the depth profile(起伏形状)of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.mote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask whatlay beneath the surface. The first time that question “What is at the bottom of the oceans?” had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth profile(起伏形状)of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.


  It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings(测身) were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea.


  The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, afact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea.


  Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition(考察), which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.


  练习题:


  Choose correct answers to the question:


  1. The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanographic studies take on ______.


  A. an academic aspect


  B. a military aspect


  C. a business aspect


  D. an international aspect


  2. It was ______ that asked Maury for help in oceanographic studies.


  A. the American Navy


  B. some early intercontinental travelers


  C. those who earned a living from the sea


  D. the company which proposed to lay an undersea cable


  3. The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the 1840s was ______.


  A. to make some sounding experiments in the oceans


  B. to collect samples of sea plants and animals


  C. to estimate the length of cable that was needed


  D. to measure the depths of the two oceans


  4. “Defied” in the 5th paragraph probably means “______”.


  A. doubted


  B. gave proof to


  C. challenged


  D. agreed to


  5. This passage is mainly about ______.


  A. the beginnings of oceanography


  B. the laying of the first undersea cable


  C. the investigation of ocean depths


  D. the early intercontinental communications


  1.[C] 亊实判断题。文章第3段第2句提到,这个问題的解答是具有商业结果的。C中的business为原文中commercial 同义改写,故选C。


  2.[D] 细节题。文章第4段首句为一个强调句,强调的是宾语。题干也是一个强调句型,但强调的是主语。如果把原文的强调句型改为一般的句型,就知道向Maury寻求帮助的是the Atlantic Telegraph Company.故答案为D。A是Maury的工作单位,可以排除;原文只提到对于一些早期的穿越洲际的旅行家和依靠海洋维持生计的人,海洋并不遥远,故B、C与题意不符。


  3.[D] 亊实判断题。文章第4段提到,19世纪40年代,Maury负责推动进行测深工作的海上航行,以此来探测北大西洋与太平洋的深度.故选D。


  4.[C] 词义推断题。当时的科学观点是海洋较深的地方不存在生命,而事实上在电缆表面发现了活的生物.由此可知这一亊实对当时的科学观点提出质疑,故答案为C。


  5.[A] 主旨题。通读全文可知,oceanography(海洋学)是全文的中心词,本文主要讲述海洋学是如何起步的,故答案为A 。B、C只表述了原文中个別细节,并非主题;D跟全文无关。
