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月，服用高劑量藥物的風(fēng)險最大。布洛芬和萘普生等藥物的潛在風(fēng)險可能增加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)致嚴重的肝危險，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，以及應(yīng)對方法，故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及推理判斷，詞義猜測和主旨大意三個題型的考查，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，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 She took up skating at age 85, made her first movie appearance at age 114, and held a concert in the neighborhood on her 121st birthday. When it es to long life, Jeanne Calment is the world39。s recordholder. She lived to the ripe old age of 122. So is 122 the upper limit to the human life span(壽命)? If scientists e up with some sort of pill or diet that would slow aging, could we possibly make it to 150－or beyond? Researchers don39。t entirely agree on the answers. Calment lived to 122, so it wouldn39。t surprise me if someone alive today reaches 130 or 135, says Jerry Shay at the University of Texas. Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees. People can live much longer than we think, he says. Experts used to say that humans couldn39。t live past 110. When Calment blew past that age, they raised the number to 120. So why can39。t we go higher? The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that it39。s all just guessing. Anyone can make up a number, says Rich Miller at the University of Michigan. Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine. Won39。t new antiaging techniques keep us alive for centuries? Any cure, says Miller, for aging would probably keep most of us kicking until about 120. Researchers are working on treatments that lengthen the life span of mice by 50 percent at most. So, if the average human life span is about 80 years, says Miller, adding another 50 percent would get you to 120. So what can we conclude from this little disagreement among the researchers? That life span is flexible(有彈性的), but there is a limit, says George Martin of the University of Washington. We can get flies to live 50 percent longer, he says. But a fly39。s never going to live 150 years. Of course, if you became a new species (物種), one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story, he adds. Does Martin really believe that humans could evolve (進化)their way to longer life? It39。s pretty cool to think about, he says with a smile.（1）What does the story of Jeanne Calment prove to us? can live to 122. people are creative. are sporty at 85. live longer than men.（2）According to Steve Austad at the University of Texas, ______. average human life span could be 110 cannot find ways to slow aging people can expect to live to over 150 are not sure how long people can live（3）Who would agree that a scientist will bee famous if he makes the wildest guess at longevity? Shay. Austad. Miller. Martin.（4）What can we infer from the last three paragraphs? of us could be good at sports even at 120. average human life span cannot be doubled. believe mice are aging at a slower speed than before. techniques could be used to change flies into a new species【答案】 （1）A（2）D（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了科學(xué)家對長壽的不同觀點和對延長人的壽命的不同理解。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Jeanne Calment is the world39。s recordholder. She lived to the ripe old age of 122. ”說明人們可以活到122歲，故選A。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。文章第四段中 的“People can live much longer than we think.”可知人類能活多長仍是未知數(shù)，故選D。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第五段中的“Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine.，可知Rich Miller認為科學(xué)家們，只要瘋狂的想法找機會成名，因此選C。 （4）考查推理判斷。最后三段提到了在老鼠身上做的實驗，證明生命是可以通過抗老技術(shù)延長的，但同時又提到生命是有限度的?？茖W(xué)家通過試驗證實人類平均壽命的跨度不能翻倍，故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇健康類閱讀，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，從而選出正確答案。9．閱讀理解 A study of 3,884 students from primary schools to colleges found that examinations made percent of primary students anxious, and more than 40 percent of high school children were out of sorts (身體不適)because of stress and anxiety. Moreover, 75 percent of the high school respondents admitted that they had problems talking to their parents and more than 55 percent of them found it hard to associate with other people, according to the study. It is not difficult to conclude that our children are not happy. Today39。s kids are ing home from school weighed down with backpacks full of books and worksheets. They are spending hours at desk at night, seldom going outside to play and getting to bed late. How can this be a good thing? Homework is eating away children39。s time to play freely with neighborhood kids and more importantly, their t
