21、One major issue in contemporary medical science is the use of humans in clinical trials of medical products. These trials occur frequently to determine the best way to manage diseases.
People are invited randomly and paid to take part in trials of an experimental drug, or new surgical procedure, in a number of countries at the one time. For example, up to a quarter of patients in some fields like breast cancer may be engaged. Other projects, one of which is to determine whether new scanning techniques can detect Alzheimer’s disease, are under way. They may be given the drug or a placebo (安慰剂), or the best existing treatment, and results compared. The trials may be ”blind” with the patient not knowing which group they are in or they may be a “double-blind” with the doctors not knowing either.
Actually, so many people offer themselves willingly. Patients take the views that at least they will get special attention from the doctor if they participate and they may get access to new drugs before they become available in chemists’ shops. In some countries people are paid to participate, especially in poorer countries where they may be told little of what is actually happening.
Yet there are significant risks too. One US study estimated that one in 30 people suffered side effects from such trials, and one in 10, 000 dies. Doctors say that the risk is not so great during the trial itself, where patients are closely monitored, but comes when the drug is released on the market place. For example, in 2004 a US company recalled an arthritis drug, when it was found that after 18 months of use, the risk of heart attack and stroke increased.
People who support testing claim the risks to the individual are small compared with the benefits. Even if the individual has adverse outcomes and their condition worsens, that is valuable information for the drug company. While the drug companies usually pay for the hospital trials, government has set up medical committees to handle the issue.
【1】What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
A.The purpose of medical trial.
B.The procedure of medical trial.
C.The groups of medical trial.
D.The result of medical trial.
【2】Why does the author mention the example in the fourth paragraph?
A.To tell us a lot of patients die from the medical trials.
B.To show the risk of heart attack and stroke has increased.
C.To introduce the risks of the medical trials are not so great.
D.To explain the risks of some drugs appear when they are sold.
【3】What does the underlined word “adverse“ in the last paragraph mean?
A.negative
B.effective
C.subjective
D.impressive
【4】What would the author most probably discuss next?
A.How the government prevents clinical trials.
B.How the government gathers the information.
C.How the medical committees pay for the hospital trials.
D.How the medical committees solve the problem.
22、Westerners usually don’t think of China as having a rich tradition of making comics, and discussions of Chinese comics focus on manhua, the Chinese comics that were inspired by Japanese manga. It’s true that most of the comics being produced now are manhua. 【1】 From their beginnings in the 1920s until their popularity bottomed out in the 1990s, lianhuanhua were some of the most widely read literature in the country.
Most of the lianhuanhua that can still be found in China were printed in the late 1970s and 1980s. 【2】 The lianhuanhua industry began in Shanghai during the 1920s and 30s. Some scholars even trace the origins to Song Dynasty scrolls(卷轴).
Using newly imported printing techniques, publishers began releasing periodicals (期刊) that contained stories and illustrations. 【3】 There were various regional names, such as “book of little people”. Some of these stories were text accompanied by images while others used speech bubbles or text inserted into the image. The most popular series from the magazines were reprinted in palm-size paperbacks, and before long rental shops sprang up in alleyways throughout the city. 【4】
Many of these early comics were multi-volume(多卷的) adaptations of martial arts epics or folk tales such as the classical Chinese novel, Journey to the West. 【5】 Adaptations of foreign works from Europe and the United States were also produced. In the 1980s, new publications came to have a wider range of goals that included intellectual development and education in science and culture for young people.
A.Their history reaches back much farther.
B.Most people couldn’t afford to rent one to read.
C.For a few coins,readers could sit down and read.
D.Others were adapted from theater shows or popular films such as King Kong.
E.But this was not the case for much of the 20th century.
F.But people could also enjoy foreign movie stories on lianhuanhua.
G.They named these works “lianhuanhua” (linked images).
23、Today show's Kathie Lee Gifford is hoping to bring the story of David to a new generation with her latest musical project, The Little Giant.
The 13-song album tells the story of the shepherd (牧羊人) boy who defeated a giant with five stones and a slingshot and became a king. The idea of the record came after Gifford and her husband Frank went on a life-changing trip to the Holy Land in 2012.
Gifford hoped to shine light on David's story to help a new generation find their own purpose; it's why she decided to compose this album that invites kids to hear the tale of the shepherd in a fun and educational way. Gifford based the record's opening track What is Your Stone on bravery and faith. She hopes the songs can help children find confidence in themselves.
Though the album is aimed towards families and children, Gifford found recording the story of David to be an exercise in healing after the death of her beloved husband Frank who passed away two years ago.
"I catch myself saying that I lost him sometimes," Gifford says, "No, he hasn't been gone. The trip took root in my husband's life, because he truly came to understand exactly what David did."
Gifford says the trip and the teachings stayed with her husband until his death. For the next three years, when people came to visit us, they’d always see Frank's trophy (奖杯) room because it's like a museum," Gifford explained. "He would take them over. Instead of all of his trophies, he would point to the stones we brought back from the travelling destination and talk about them. "
Gifford expects her own journey, her new album and her commitment to bringing a bit of joy to people through her show can help inspire children to discover their own faith and purpose.
【1】What was Gifford's main intention of making the album?
A. To honor the meaningful trip.
B. To show her love to her husband.
C. To help children find faith and purpose.
D. To make children understand David's story.
【2】How did the album benefit Gifford?
A. It made her become a superstar.
B. It made her win lots of trophies.
C. It helped her plan to have a trip to the Holy Land.
D. It helped her recover from the pain of losing Frank.
【3】What does the underlined word "them" in paragraph 6 refer to?
A. The visitors. B. The stones. C. The trophies. D. The trips.
【4】What do we know from the text?
A. David was the hero of many children.
B. Gifford finished recording the album in 2012.
C. Frank had won much glory when he was alive.
D. The author liked Gifford's songs very much.
24、 Indonesian university student Tyas Sisianindita spends about eight hours a day on her phone. That time includes watching videos, chatting with friends and using social media. "At night, when I can't sleep, I can use my phone for up to five hours," she said, noting she checks her phone countless times from morning until night. She even checks it while in class.
Tyas goes to the University of Indonesia, where a team of students recently developed a device meant to fight phone addiction. The students spent three months creating the device, which can help internet users like Tyas diminish time they spend looking at their phones.
Inventor Irfan Budi Satria led the development team. The device is called “Nettox", which combines the words “internet" and "detox (排毒)". Users wear it on their arm. The device has a sensor that measures hemoglobin (红蛋白) oxygen levels and changes to the heart rate called HRV. Studies have found that using a mobile phone for long hours can lower HRV levels. The Nettox device makes a sound when HRV and blood oxygen levels fall, which reminds wearers to stop using their phones.
For people between the ages of 18 and 25, the HRV should stay above 60. At a recent trial, Tyas' HRV reading was 44.
Internet addiction is a growing social issue in Indonesia. In October, two teenagers were treated for their addiction to internet gaming, media reported.
Irfan Budi Satria's team is working to improve Nettox's accuracy. HRV readings can change depending on whether the user is a man or woman, and what their body shape and health conditions are.
The team aims to get a patent for their invention with the university by next year. Irfan says Nettox is for people already trying to change their behavior. "Our goal is to help people who want to free themselves from internet addiction," he said.
【1】What can we learn about Tyas from Paragraph1?
A.She often sleeps late.
B.She often skips classes.
C.She is addicted to phones.
D.She is skilled in the media.
【2】Which word may replace the underlined word “diminish" in Paragraph 2?
A.Kill.
B.Treasure.
C.Record.
D.Reduce.
【3】What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.How the device works.
B.Where Nettox is from.
C.When users wear the device.
D.Why hemoglobin changes with HRV.
【4】What is the team focusing on now according to the text?
A.Applying for a patent.
