【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 ice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs. Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients (原材料) jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical position and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs. Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicinemaking panies e up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou39。s winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria (瘧疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China39。s TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time.（1）Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps? A.Because he was injured in his swimming.B.Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment.C.Because westerners know a little about TCM.D.Because westerners attach great importance to TCM.（2）Why don39。t some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine? A.Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases.B.Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture.C.Because Western medicine is more effective.D.Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly.（3）Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4? A.The methods of planting herbs.B.The effectiveness of prescription.C.Lacking in standardization.D.Its stable functions.（4）The lack of creativity in TCM refers to the fact that ________. A.medicinemaking panies lack creativityB.prescriptions are got from the pastC.Western panies are more experiencedD.medicinemaking panies lack driving force【答案】（1）C（2）D（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，街掃了傳統(tǒng)中藥的好處。和西醫(yī)相比，它不必動手術(shù)，費用少，且沒有術(shù)后感染的風險等，但生產(chǎn)缺乏標準化、療效不穩(wěn)定和缺乏創(chuàng)造力等問題也嚴重阻礙中醫(yī)藥的發(fā)展。(1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“Westerners39。 understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage(針灸，拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injurylike marks left on U. S. swimmer Michael Phelps，back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016.”可知，作者提到Michael Phelps的例子是說明西方人對TCM有一點了解，但這種了解只限于針灸，拔罐和按摩。故選C。(2)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs.”可知，有些WHO的成員國不承認中國的草藥是因為中藥發(fā)展緩慢，遠遠落后于西藥。故選D。(3)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical position and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable.”可知，與西醫(yī)相比，在第四段中指出中醫(yī)的弱點是缺乏標準化。故選C。(4)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity.”可知，中藥缺乏創(chuàng)造力指的是中藥是根據(jù)過去流傳下來的處方做成的。故選B?！军c評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇醫(yī)學類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Regardless of how far we39。d like to believe gender(性別) equality in the workplace has e, there39。s still a yawning gap between male and female leaders in the professional world. A 2018 statistic shows that women nowadays hold just percent of CEOs positions at Samp。P 500 panies, according to Catalyst. While it39。s not a huge shock that women are somewhat underrepresented in leadership positions, what is surprising though, is the fact that females may actually be better suited to lead in almost every area, at least according to new findings from the BI Norwegian Business School. In their research，Professor yvind L. Martinsen and Professor Lars Glas surveyed (調(diào)查)2,900 managers with a special focus on personality types. The results were clear: Women scored higher than men in four of the five major leadershipcentric categories. While some people believe that men inherently make better leaders — probably because they picture a leader with a manding voice, which is more typical of men than women — this piece of research suggests that women are better at methodical management and goalsetting, openness, sociability and supportiveness, as well as ability to municate clearly. There was one area in which men scored higher than women, though, and that was on emotional stability and ability to face jobrelated pressure and stress. The results suggest that women are more sensitive to the effects of highpressure or highly emotional situations. Obviously，it39。s important to consider individual(個人的) differences. Anyone, regardless of gender, may be an inspiring leader and a petent boss. But next time you39。re hiring for a management position, you just might want to give the resumes(簡歷) from female candidates a harder look.（1）What makes us shocked much at leadership positions? A.Women are worse than men.B.Men take almost all high positions.C.There is a huge gap between genders.D.Women might behave better in every field.（2）Which of the following can best replace the underlined word 39。39。inherently” in paragraph 4? A.properlyB.potentiallyC.naturallyD.normally（3）Which of the following may be the best title of this text? A.How We Can Figure Out The Boss.160
