Taking them for just a week can increase your risk of heart attack by 50%. The research suggested that the risk related to the use of certain drugs was greatest with higher doses (服用量) and during the first month of use. The potential risk may increase by 75% for medicines like ibuprofen (布洛芬) and naproxen, and more than 100% for rofecoxib. It all sounds bad but, your risk is very low, — say, one in a million — a 100% increase means you still only have a two in a million chance. Of course, all painkilling medication that works can have side effects — nothing is safe and effective. Paracetamol (撲熱息痛) has very few unless taken too much, in which case it can cause serious liver danger, but it isn39。t very effective. Drugs like opiates are strong painkillers but easy to be addicted and often have other bad effects. Maybe you find that you are in a dilemma now. But don39。t despair。 you can refer to a pain clinic for some professional guidance. For ongoing pain, music and exercise may be the best choices to help you reduce the feeling of it. Scientist at Harvard have recently done a quite horrible study on mice. They made the mice experience extremes of hot and cold, applied pressure to their back legs and injected the capsaicin (辣椒素) into their feet. And then they timed how long it took them to respond to the pain. Lack of sleep increased the disfort, while stimulants (興奮劑) such as caffeine made them less responsive to pain. This has been widely reported that a good night39。s sleep and a cup of coffee in the morning may help reduce pain. But anyway don39。t throw the pills away because the study also shows taking small doses of drugs, such as for short periods of time can be effective and safe as long as your heart is in good condition.（1）Which of the following painkillers has fewest sideeffects? ....（2）What does the underlined word “despair” in Paragraph 2 refer to? it seriously. any risks. hope. doubtful.（3）The example of mice is used to show that ____ can stand extreme pressure sleep and coffee may decrease pain and feet are more sensitive to pain and stimulants can help reduce pain（4）What is the text mainly about? to stop taking painkillers. new way of reducing pain. risk of taking painkillers. to avoid painkillers39。side effects.【答案】 （1）D（2）C（3）B（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，根據(jù)《英國醫(yī)學(xué)雜志》的一項(xiàng)新研究，止痛藥正變成一種真正的疼痛。只服用一周就會使心臟病發(fā)作的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)增加50%。文章主要說明了止痛藥存在的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，以及說明了其他一些可以有助于減輕疼痛的方法。研究還表明，只要你的心臟狀況良好，服用小劑量的藥物仍然是有效和安全的。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“The research suggested that the risk related to the use of certain drugs was greatest with higher doses (服用量) and during the first month of use. The potential risk may increase by 75% for medicines like ibuprofen (布洛芬) and naproxen, and more than 100% for rofecoxib.”研究表明，在使用某些藥物的第一個(gè)月，服用高劑量藥物的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)最大。布洛芬和萘普生等藥物的潛在風(fēng)險(xiǎn)可能增加75%，羅非昔布增加100%以上；及第二段中的“Paracetamol has very few unless taken too much, in which case it can cause serious liver danger, but it isn39。t very effective.”撲熱息痛的含量很少，除非服用過量，在這種情況下，它會導(dǎo)致嚴(yán)重的肝危險(xiǎn)，但不是很有效，可知，在Ibuprofen，Naproxen，Rofecoxib和Paracetamol四種藥物之中，Paracetamol的副作用最小。故選D。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第二段中的“Maybe you find that you are in a dilemma now.”也許你會發(fā)現(xiàn)你現(xiàn)在處于一個(gè)兩難的境地；以及“you can refer to a pain clinic for some professional guidance”你可以向疼痛診所尋求一些專業(yè)指導(dǎo))可知，雖然也許你會發(fā)現(xiàn)你現(xiàn)在處于一個(gè)兩難的境地，但是不必絕望，你還可以向疼痛診所尋求一些專業(yè)指導(dǎo)。故劃線單詞意思是“絕望的”。故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“…a good night39。s sleep and a cup of coffee in the morning may help reduce pain.”晚上睡個(gè)好覺，早上喝杯咖啡有助于減輕疼痛，可知，老鼠的例子表明良好的睡眠和咖啡可以減輕疼痛。故選B。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第一段中的“Painkillers are turning out to be a real pain: according to a new study in the British Medical Journal. Taking them for just a week can increase your risk of heart attack by 50%. ”根據(jù)《英國醫(yī)學(xué)雜志》的一項(xiàng)新研究，止痛藥正變成一種真正的疼痛。只服用一周就會使心臟病發(fā)作的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)增加50%)結(jié)合文章主要內(nèi)容為說明止痛藥存在的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，以及應(yīng)對方法，故選C。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及推理判斷，詞義猜測和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇醫(yī)學(xué)類閱讀，考生需要根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。6．閱讀理解 Can you imagine a world without music? Studies show that public schools across the country are cutting back on music classes to save money. Even worse, some schools have never had music classes to begin with. But without them, students39。 academic (學(xué)術(shù)的) growth and spiritual health could suffer. In fact, music classes are necessary for all students in schools. Recent studies Brown University have shown that students who received music education classes were better in math and reading skills than those without music classes. Another study by The College Board found that students taking music and art classes got higher points. Students39。 academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education. Music programs in public schools also help to add to a student39。s sense of pride and selfconfidence. Teens today have too many learning tasks. Besides, they have family problems, selfconfidence problems, relations hip troubles, and choices about smoke and alcohol (酒精). All of these can stop academic success, but music education can help. A study by The Texas Commission on Drug and Alcohol Abuse found that students who took part in school music programs were less likely to turn to smoke. Music programs encourage students to work together to produce an excellent performance. Music crosses language, class and culture. Music allows students from different countries to connect. For example, at a school talent show, a new Japanese student played a piano duet (二重奏) with an American classmate. Two students from different cultures worked as a team with selfconfidence and mon purpose thr
