英語四級仔細(xì)閱讀練習(xí)題(1)
Just seven years ago, the Jarvik-7 artificial heart was being cheered as the model of human creativeness. The sight of Barney Clark-alive and conscious after trading his diseased heart for a metal-and-plastic pump-convinced the press, the public and many doctors that the future had arrived. It hadn’t. After monitoring production of the Jarvik-7, and reviewing its effects on the 150 or so patients (most of whom got the device as a temporary measure) the U.S. Food and Drug Administration concluded that the machine was doing more to endanger lives than to save them. Last week the agency cancelled its earlier approval, effectively banning (禁止) the device.
The recall may hurt Symbion Inc., maker of the Jarvik-7, but it won’t end the request for an artificial heart. One problem with the banned mode is that the tubes connecting it to an external power source createda passage for infection. Inventors are now working on new devices that would be fully placed, along with atiny power pack, in the patient’s chest. The first sample products aren’t expected for another 10 or 20 years. But some people are already worrying that they’ll work—and that America’s overextended health—care programs will lose a precious $2.5 billion to $5 billion a year providing them for a relatively few dying patients. If such expenditures (開支) cut into funding for more basic care, the net effect could actually be a decline in the nation’s health.

1.[A] 文章一開頭說Jarvik-7以前被認(rèn)為是一大技術(shù)成就，但文章第1段倒數(shù)第2句中提到,美國食品與藥品管理局得出結(jié)論,認(rèn)為這種儀器與其說是挽救生命,不如說是將生命置于更加危險的境地。由此可知Jarvik-7是一個技術(shù)失敗,故選A。
2.[C] 文章第2段第1句提到，要求生產(chǎn)人造心臟的Symbion公司召回其銷售的人造心臟，這對該公來說或許是一種損失，但這一禁令不會終結(jié)人們對人造心臟的需求。從這一句可推斷出應(yīng)選C。原文只提到政府禁止Jarvik-7這種型號的人造心臟，A把范圍擴(kuò)大到了所有的人造心臟;B在原文中并未提及;D說的對象不是Symbion公司，也可排除。
3.[B] 文章中第2段第3句提到，這種新儀器可以完全置于患者的胸腔內(nèi)，B與之相符，故選B。A在文中并未提及;C、D說的對象是Jarvik-7，故也排除。
4.[D] 從句子意思看，“向為數(shù)不多的瀕危病人提供” 的顯然是上一句中的sample products，即可與電源組一并植于人體內(nèi)的new devices，故選D。
5.[B] 第2段倒數(shù)第2句But some people are already worrying…這句話體現(xiàn)了有些人已經(jīng)在擔(dān)心，為為數(shù)不多的垂危病人動用巨額資金購置新型的人造心臟是否合算，而由該段最后一句可以看出作者認(rèn)為這樣的做法是不明智的，因此B是答案。
英語四級仔細(xì)閱讀練習(xí)題(2)
It happens to every medical student sooner or later. You get a cough that persists for a while. Ordinarily,you would just ignore it--but now, armed with your rapidly growing medical knowledge, you can’t help worrying. The cough could mean just a cold, but it could also be a sign of lung cancer.
For doctors in training, nurses and medical journalists, hypochondria is an occupational danger. The feeling usually passes after a while, leaving only a funny story to tell at a dinner party. But for the tens ofthousands who suffer from true hypochondria they live in constant terror that they are dying of some awfuldisease, or even several awful diseases at once. Doctors can assure them that there’s nothing wrong, but since the cough is real, the assurances fall on deaf ears. And because no physician or test can offer a 100% guarantee that one doesn’t have cancer, a hypochondriac always has fuel to feed Iris .or her worst fears.
Hypochondriacs don’t harm just themselves; they block the whole healthcare system. Although they account for only about 6% of the patients who visit doctors every year, they tend to burden their physicians with frequent visits that take up excessive amounts of time. And the problem may be worse, thanks to the popularity of medical information on the Internet. They go on the Web and learn about new diseases and new presentations of old diseases that they never even knew about before. Doctors have taken to calling this phenomenon cyberchondria (網(wǎng)絡(luò)疑病癥).
練習(xí)題：
Choose correct answers to the question:
1.According to the passage, if you suffer from hypochondria, ______.
A.you must be a medical student, or a medical worker
B.you are haunted by a possibly inexistent disease

D.you always tell funny stories at dinner parties
2.Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
A.Hypochondria happens to everybody sooner or later.
B.We needn’t worry about hypochondria since it is not dangerous at all.
C.Hypochondria originates from too much knowledge of medicine.
D.Not only individuals but also the healthcare system might be disturbed by unnecessary terrors.
3.Why can’t doctors convince the suffers that there is nothing wrong?
A.Because the doctors can’t cure the minor diseases
B.Because the doctors don’t assure them of that
C.Because the sufferers are deaf and cannot hear what the doctors say
D.Because lack of absolute guarantee makes the patients doubtful
4.The problem becomes worse due to _____
A.the increasing number of patients
B.the widespread medical knowledge on the Internet
C.the patients,regular visits to doctors that occupy too much time
D.new diseases and symptoms emerge constantly
5.What does the author most probably think about hypochondria?
A.The author considers that hypochondria is an incurable disease
B.The author thinks that the consequences of hypochondria might be disastrous
C.The author suggests that the patients who have hypochondria should set their hearts at rest
D.The author sympathizes with the patients who suffer from hypochondria
1.[B] 事實細(xì)節(jié)題。仔細(xì)讀完第2段后半部分,不難發(fā)現(xiàn)hypochondria只是瞎猜疑，故選項B正確。時常懷疑自己生病是醫(yī)務(wù)人員的職業(yè)病，但為此困擾的并不僅僅是他們，因為第2段第3句說：“But... who suffer from true hypochondria...”，說明醫(yī)務(wù)人員不是真正的疑病癥患者,故選項A不正確。選項C過于極端。選項D是對原文斷章取義。
2.[D] 主旨大意題。第1段以舉例方式引入主題，第2段對hypochondria下定義，第3段則論述其對醫(yī)療保健體系造成的干擾，選項D正確全面地概括了文章大意，為正確答案。全文的中心詞是hypochondria,在四個選項中，干擾項(選項A、B、C)都出現(xiàn)了該詞，只有正確選項(選項D)沒有直接使用該詞。
3.[D] 事實細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文中的“because no physician or test can offer a 100% guarantee that one doesn’t have cancer...”即可得出選項D正確。原文雖有表示“咳嗽確實存在”，但這并不意味著醫(yī)生不能治好類似的小毛病，因此選項A不正確。誤選C是沒有正確理解短語fall on deaf ears,該固定表達(dá)的意思是“充耳不聞”。
4.[B] 推理判斷題。句中thanks to是諷刺的用法，引出原因，故選項B正確。本題考查因果關(guān)系，要辨別明顯的因果關(guān)系，只要關(guān)注文中是否有because, reason, due to, thanks to, result等詞即可。
5.[C] 觀點態(tài)度題。從作者對hypochondria的描述可以看出此病只是源于多疑，并非生理上的不治之癥，因此只要病人們放寬心，此病就能痊愈。故選項C正確。選項A的incurable和B的disastrous都太絕對，比較容易排除。而本文基調(diào)較為客觀，作者沒有表露個人情感，故選項D也不正確。
英語四級仔細(xì)閱讀練習(xí)題(3)
Oceanography has been defined as “The application of all sciences to the study of the sea”.
Before the nineteen century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work.
For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that question “What is at the bottom of the oceans?” had tobe answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The had to know the depth profile(起伏形狀)of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.mote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask whatlay beneath the surface. The first time that question “What is at the bottom of the oceans?” had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth profile(起伏形狀)of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.
It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings(測身) were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea.
The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, afact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea.
Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition(考察), which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.

1.[C] 亊實判斷題。文章第3段第2句提到，這個問題的解答是具有商業(yè)結(jié)果的。C中的business為原文中commercial 同義改寫，故選C。
2.[D] 細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第4段首句為一個強調(diào)句，強調(diào)的是賓語。題干也是一個強調(diào)句型，但強調(diào)的是主語。如果把原文的強調(diào)句型改為一般的句型，就知道向Maury尋求幫助的是the Atlantic Telegraph Company.故答案為D。A是Maury的工作單位，可以排除;原文只提到對于一些早期的穿越洲際的旅行家和依靠海洋維持生計的人，海洋并不遙遠(yuǎn)，故B、C與題意不符。
3.[D] 亊實判斷題。文章第4段提到，19世紀(jì)40年代，Maury負(fù)責(zé)推動進(jìn)行測深工作的海上航行，以此來探測北大西洋與太平洋的深度.故選D。
4.[C] 詞義推斷題。當(dāng)時的科學(xué)觀點是海洋較深的地方不存在生命，而事實上在電纜表面發(fā)現(xiàn)了活的生物.由此可知這一亊實對當(dāng)時的科學(xué)觀點提出質(zhì)疑，故答案為C。
5.[A] 主旨題。通讀全文可知，oceanography(海洋學(xué))是全文的中心詞，本文主要講述海洋學(xué)是如何起步的，故答案為A 。B、C只表述了原文中個別細(xì)節(jié)，并非主題;D跟全文無關(guān)。
