廣東高考英語閱讀訓(xùn)練題(一)

　　It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.

　　This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.

　　The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.

　　“The nuclear transfer(核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available(capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and it’s difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A& M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.

　　“They are trying to do something that’s never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah’s Ark. We’re both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and there’s a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. It’s a research that is very much needed.”

　　1. The aim of “Noah’s Ark” project is to _______.

　　A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandas

　　B. save endangered animals from dying out

　　C. collect DNA of endangered animals to study

　　D. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another

　　2. According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of _______.

　　A. available panda eggs B. host animals

　　C. qualified researchers D. enough money

　　3. The best title for the passage may be _______.

　　A. China’s Success in Pandas Cloning

　　B. The First Cloned Panda in the World

　　C. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas

　　D. China —the Native Place of Pandas Forever

　　4. From the passage we know that _______.

　　A. Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dog

　　B. scientists try to implant a panda’s egg into a rabbit

　　C. Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches

　　D. about two thousand of species will probably die out in a century

　　本文講述中國正在竭力克隆瀕臨絕種的熊貓，這和Texas A & M University 的Noah's Ark(諾亞方舟)工程極為相似，都是想拯救瀕臨滅絕的動物。

　　1. B。語義理解題。從第2段內(nèi)容可知，“諾亞方舟”工程的目標(biāo)是把瀕臨滅絕的動物的蛋(卵)、胚胎、精液和DNA儲存在液體氮中，如果某一種動物瀕臨滅絕時，將來可以重現(xiàn)這一動物。

　　2. A。細(xì)節(jié)題。從第6段第1句話 The nuclear transfer(核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available (capable of being used ) panda eggs could be a major problem 可以做出正確判斷。

　　3. C。主旨題。從文章內(nèi)容來看，無論是中國還是世界克隆熊貓還沒有成功，所以排除A、B項;D項內(nèi)容明顯與文章內(nèi)容不符，故排除。所以“探索克隆熊貓的可能性”應(yīng)該是這篇文章的標(biāo)題。

　　4. D。判斷題。此題B項的干擾性較強，但由于它沒有說明是Chinese scientists，所以應(yīng)排除。A、C項明顯與原文不符。根據(jù)文章第3段第1句可知答案非D莫屬。

　　Want a glance of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the various networks of people about patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient —no matter where he or she may be.

　　Online doctors offering advice based on normal symptoms(癥狀) are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis(遠(yuǎn)程診斷) will be based on real physiological data(生理數(shù)據(jù)) from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using personal data assistance plus a mobile phone, it is perfectly practical to send a patient’s important signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment, the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.

　　Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural(countryside) care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster need—especially after earthquakes. On the whole, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and experts’ opinions.

　　But there is one problem. Bandwidth(寬帶) is the limiting factor for sending complex(復(fù)雜的) medical pictures around the world — CT photos being one of the biggest bandwidth users. Communication satellites may be able to deal with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes or wars. But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and third-generation mobile phones for the future of remote medical service.

　　Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications, the new technologies should start a new time when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, experts’ opinions and diagnosis are common.

　　1. The writer chiefly talks about _______.

　　A. the use of telemedicine B. the on-lined doctors

　　C. medical care and treatment D. communication improvement

　　2. The basis of remote diagnosis will be _______.

　　A. personal data assistance

　　B. some words of a patient

　　C. real physiological information

　　D. medical pictures from the Internet

　　3. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?

　　A. Patients don’t need doctors in hospitals any more.

　　B. It is impossible to send a patient’s signs over the telephone.

　　C. Many teams use telemedicine dealing with disasters now.

　　D. Broadband communications will become cheaper in the future.

　　4. The “problem” in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that _______.

　　A. bandwidth isn’t big enough to send complex medical pictures

　　B. the second-generation of Internet has not become popular yet

　　C. communication satellites can only deal with short-term needs

　　D. there is not enough equipment for spreading the medical care

　　廣東高考英語閱讀訓(xùn)練題答案

　　本文主要講述人們將來可以通過網(wǎng)上看病，醫(yī)生可以根據(jù)病人的生理數(shù)據(jù)做出遠(yuǎn)程診斷。隨著第二代因特網(wǎng)和第三代移動手機為將來的遠(yuǎn)程醫(yī)療服務(wù)，尤其是寬帶網(wǎng)交流價格的下降，遠(yuǎn)程醫(yī)療和醫(yī)藥信息、專家意見和診斷共享將成為家常便飯。

　　1. A。主旨題。第2段和第3段的內(nèi)容，可知最佳答案為A。

　　2. C。細(xì)節(jié)題。從第2段第2句話中的…remote diagnosis(遠(yuǎn)程診斷) will be based on real physiological data(生理數(shù)據(jù)) from the actual patient 可以做出正確判斷。

　　3. D。判斷題。網(wǎng)上可以看病并不就是說病人去醫(yī)院不需要醫(yī)生，排除A項;通過電話發(fā)送病人的信息是可行的，排除B項;現(xiàn)在至少有一個醫(yī)療隊想用遠(yuǎn)程醫(yī)療來治療疾病，C項也不對;根據(jù)文章最后一句話With the falling price of broadband communications, the new technologies should start a new time when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, experts’ opinions and diagnosis are common 可以肯定答案是D。

　　4. A。推斷題。根據(jù)第4段第2句話 Bandwidth(寬帶) is the limiting factor for sending complex(復(fù)雜) medical pictures around the world — CT photos being one of the biggest bandwidth users可知答案為A。
