ers39。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%。文章主要說明了止痛藥存在的風(fēng)險,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 A recent documentary produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has caused a stir in China and in the UK. The documentary, titled Are Our Kids Tough Enough? focuses on five Chinese teachers who are sent to teach 50 UK teens at a school in Hampshire. The teachers instruct the students for a month. The pupils are then tested, and the results are pared to the ones of those who have continued in the regular UK education system. The idea is to see if the Chinese method improves academic performance. The Chinese teachers use their own teaching methods but receive strong resistance from the students. A clip from the documentary online shows some problems, with Chinese teachers calling their students lazy and lacking in discipline, while the students say the high pressure and harsh teachers are driving them crazy. This has aroused a new debate in both China and the UK, with some arguing the teenagers need more regulation and discipline. Others say Chinese methods encourage rote learning (死記硬背) instead of independent thinking. For instance, Chinese language teachers should do more than pass on knowledge about words and characters. They should inspire students, helping them feel the sentiment from Chinese literature. This is a higher level of teaching. Yang Dongping, dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, says, The Chinese teaching methods are designed to strictly train the majority. Foreign teaching methods, however, are more natural and relaxing, and designed to inspire students39。 interest in learning. Education methods are based on culture. That is why a successful education method in one place may not work that well when simply 39。transplanted39。 into another place. Yang Dongping says, The documentary does reflect some problems rooted in traditional Chinese teaching methods. Nobel prize winner, Yang Zhenning, gave a very fair ment on this issue. He said the Chinesestyle education method works for most ordinary qualified students effectively, helping them reach high standards. However, it may weaken the training for highpotential outstanding students.(1)Why are five Chinese teachers sent to teach 50 UK teens? test the intelligence of the UK teens. help the school improve their teaching efficiency. do some practical research into the UK education system. test the effectiveness of Chinese teaching methods.(2)What39。s the meaning of the underlined word harsh in the fourth paragraph? strict friendly cold attractive(3)According to Yang Dongping Chinese teaching methods ______. all countries be improved the best in the world not as good as British methods【答案】 (1)D(2)A(3)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,一部關(guān)于教學(xué)方法的紀錄片在中英兩國引起了不小的關(guān)注——五名中國老師被派去教英國學(xué)生,結(jié)果學(xué)生很不適應(yīng),這說明教學(xué)方法是以文化為基礎(chǔ)的,在一個國家取得成功的教學(xué)方法在另一個國家不一定奏效。 (1)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“The idea is to see if the Chinese method improves academic performance.”這個想法是為了看看中國的方法是否能提高學(xué)習(xí)成績,可知,五名中國老師被派去教英國學(xué)生是為了檢驗中國教學(xué)方法的成效。故選D。 (2)考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第四段中的“with Chinese teachers calling their students lazy and lacking in discipline, while the students say the high pressure and harsh teachers are driving them crazy.”中國老師稱他們的學(xué)生懶惰和缺乏紀律,而學(xué)生則說壓力太大和嚴厲的老師讓他們發(fā)狂。由此可知,劃線詞意為“嚴厲的”。故選A。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“The Chinese teaching methods are designed to strictly train the majority. Foreign teaching methods, however, are more natural and relaxing, and designed to inspire students39。 interest in learning. Education methods are based on culture.”可知,楊東平認為,中國的教學(xué)方法側(cè)重于嚴格要求,而英國的教學(xué)方法更為自然和輕松,旨在激發(fā)學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)興趣,教學(xué)方法是以文化為基礎(chǔ)的。由此可知,楊東平認為中國的教學(xué)方法有待改進。故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解,詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查,是一篇教育類閱讀,考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進行分析,推理,從而選出正確答案。9.閱讀理解 Organic food (有機食品) is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non173。organic food. Some parents and pet owners pay up to 200 percent more for organic food while some people think organic food is a waste of money. There is one main difference between organic and nonorganic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides (殺蟲劑). This makes sure that the products are natural. Some people think organic means locally grown. At the beginning, this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small panies had to sell out to large panies. There weren39。t enough organic materials. This made it difficult for many organic panies to stay in business. Today, many large panies have an organic line of products. Is organic food more nutritious (有營養(yǎng)的)? This is part of the debate. Many
