gth to share。 and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else. Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others. Honesty and openness is important: It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overe our disadvantages pletely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes. Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.(1)What39。s the function of the example in Paragraph 2? reflects that people are concerning about the spread of Ebola. shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story. proves not sharing a story can cause trouble. concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.(2)One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that _______. highlights the importance of hard work are used to exposing their weaknesses sometimes have no courage to share their stories stories make themselves feel uneasy(3)Which is close in meaning to the underlined word uncorked in Paragraph 3?

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(guó)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(huì)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(huì)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(cè)。根據(jù)第二段中的“Maybe you find that you are in a dilemma now.”也許你會(huì)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(huì)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
