22、 Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) needs to prove its worth through rigorous clinical trials, according to the head of one of China’s largest herbal remedy companies, as a contentious new law to boost the $40bn sector comes into effect.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is estimated by analysts to account for a third of sales in China’s $117bn pharmaceutical (药学) market, the world’s second largest. But most of those sales are of relatively cheap over-the-counter drugs, with many Chinese hospital doctors unwilling to prescribe TCM remedies because of the lack of evidence for their effectiveness.
China’s first law promising equal status for TCM and western medicine in the country’s state-dominated healthcare system comes into effect this weekend. Provisions include encouragement for hospitals to set up TCM centres, and a licensing system for practitioners (从业者). “This law is very important for securing the status of TCM,” said Wu Yiling, chairman of Yiling Pharmaceutical, a company that makes herbal remedies based on traditional recipes in the northern province of Hebei.
Listed in Shenzhen, Wu Yiling has a market capitalization of RMB 20.7bn ($3bn). Mr Wu, the son of a herbal practitioner, controls a family fortune of $1.6bn, according to the Hurun Rich List.
Mr Wu is both a supporter of the nature of Qi—the mystical energy force that provides the basis for much of TCM theory—and the clinical trials vital to western pharmaceutical companies. “TCM needs to develop using modern research methods,” he said.
For instance, researchers from Peking and Cardiff Universities tested the health benefits of Yiling’s herbal medicine Yangzheng Xiaoji, publishing papers in the International Journal of Oncology that showed the drug can slow the growth of cancer tumours. “The theory and recipe is TCM, but in practice the evaluation of our medicines is carried out according to western evidence-based methods,” Mr Wu said.
Analysts say such tests can help gain support from doubtful hospital doctors and boost prescriptions. “Doctors need strong evidence that drugs definitely work,” said Serena Shao, healthcare analyst at brokerage CLSA. “Some of these companies are currently doing clinical trials, and getting proof that their drugs have the same efficacy (功效) as chemical drugs. That’s the way to go.” she added.
The TCM law has been greeted with doubt from China’s western-schooled medical establishment, which points to a lack of rigorous training for TCM doctors, and a recent series of shocking events involving herbal injections believed to have been harmful. “Officials will try and encourage TCM, but also will be very cautious about what kinds of TCM they use in hospitals,” added Ms Shao.
【1】Why does Traditional Chinese Medicine need to prove its worth through rigorous clinical trials?
A.Because Chinese medicine is all cheap over-the-counter drugs
B.Because Chinese medicine market is the world’s second largest one.
C.Because Chinese government wants to boost the law of Chinese medicine.
D.Because doctors are unwilling to prescribe TCM remedies lacking evidence of effectiveness.
【2】Which words can be used to replace the underlined word “Provisions” in the third paragraph?
A.Articles of law. B.Ways of supplying.
C.Methods of motivation D.Approaches to inspiring.
【3】According to the passage, we can lean that Mr Wu Yiling ________.
A.is a herbal practitioner, controlling a family fortune
B.has a company in Shenzhen that has a market capitalization of $3bn
C.lets his company evaluate herbal medicines with western evidence-based methods
D.thinks that if we need to develop TCM, we should use Chinese traditional research methods
【4】According to the last two paragraphs, we infer that ________.
A.western doctors deny the effectiveness of TCM
B.TCM hasn’t been recognized in the western medicine
C.there is a lack of rigorous training for TCM doctors
D.a recent series of shocking events has destroyed Chinese medicine
23、 Who's in control of your life? Who's pulling your strings? For the majority of us, it's other people-society, colleagues, friends, family or our community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young,of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it," Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation. "
So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug-we are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix(成瘾物)we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.
But, just as with any drug. there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom-the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own agenda, and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they're more interested in themselves than in you. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted (tired) and probably pleasing no one in the process.
So how can we take back control? I think there's only one way-make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values- not values imposed from the outside by others. but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others. we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy life.
【1】What Oscar Wilde says implies that .
A. most people have a variety of thoughts
B. we have thoughts similar to those of others
C. other people's thoughts are more important
D. most people's thoughts are affected by others
【2】What does the author try to argue in the third paragraph?
A. The price of taking the drug is freedom.
B. We may lose ourselves to win the approval of others.
C. We need to pay for what we want to get.
D. Changing opinions may cost us our freedom.
【3】It can be concluded from the passage that .
A. it's better to follow others' opinions
B. it's important to accept others' comments
C. we shouldn't change our own decision
D. we shouldn't care too much what others think
【4】The author tries to persuade the readers to accept his arguments mainly by .
A. discussing questions B. making suggestions
C. analyzing causes and effects D. providing examples and facts
24、 It’s not new for labs to use robots. But earlier robots usually stayed in one place.
The UL robot, which scientists at the University of Liverpool (UL) have developed, is the opposite of that. The 1.75-meter robot is similar in size to a human. Though it weighs much more than most people, it’s able to easily move about in the same sort of space as humans do.
It uses a special laser system called LIDAR to guide itself—even in the dark. Once it’s close to a work station, it can move into a more exact position through its touch sensors. With one long arm which can turn in almost any direction, the robot is able to use several different kinds of lab equipment to run its own experiments. Some of the equipment has been changed slightly to make it easier for the robot, but basically and most impressively, it’s the same equipment a human would use. The robot was built and programmed by Benjamin Burger, a PhD student at the university, who says it took a lot of effort to program the robot so that it can do things without making mistakes.
Over the next 8 days, the robot ran 688 experiments, always choosing its next experiment based on the results of the last one.
Andrew Cooper, who led the program says, “The robot ran for 172 hours, stopping for only a couple of hours each day to recharge its batteries. To do the same amount of work would have taken a human several months. It isn’t cheap—it cost around $125,000 and took years to program. But the scientists compare that to the cost of other laboratory equipment which they say can also be quite expensive. The fact that the robot can be used for many different purposes is a huge advantage. It is meant to help scientists, rather than replace them, and it frees up time for the human researchers to think creatively.”
【1】What does the underlined word “that” refer to in paragraph 2?
A.Earlier robots are smaller and lighter.
B.Labs don’t give up the earlier robots.
C.Earlier robots can’t move around.
D.Labs use robots more commonly.
【2】What attracts people most when the UL robot is working?
A.It moves its touch sensors frequently.
B.It spreads its long arms automatically.
C.It is equipped with a special laser system.
D.It uses the same equipment as humans do.
【3】What is Andrew Cooper’s opinion about the UL robot?
A.It’s inconvenient to get recharged.
B.It’s worth the money and the time.
C.It helps other robots perform tasks.
D.It can inspire scientists’ creativity.
【4】What’s the best title for the text?
A.Robot Runs Experiments on Its Own
B.The UL Robot Finishes Its Experiment
C.Robots Replace Scientists Very Soon
D.The UL Robot Develeps Its Advantages
