四級英語閱讀模擬練習答案
1.[A] 文章一開頭說Jarvik-7以前被認為是一大技術成就，但文章第1段倒數第2句中提到,美國食品與藥品管理局得出結論,認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是一個技術失敗,故選A。
2.[C] 文章第2段第1句提到，要求生產人造心臟的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人們對人造心臟的需求。從這一句可推斷出應選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，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的new devices，故選D。
5.[B] 第2段倒數第2句But some people are already worrying…這句話體現了有些人已經在擔心，為為數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為這樣的做法是不明智的，因此B是答案。
