Antibiotics, insulin, organ transplantation, HIV treatments and heart-bypass surgeries—it reads like an A to Z of medical progress. But the major progress has something in common: they were all developed and tested by using animals. Actually, animals are used for research in a variety of settings. Whether or not humans should use animals for testing purposes, however, is a controversial subject.

Animal testing allows researchers to develop new medicine and treatments, advancing the field of medicine and improving the health of society. For example, many drugs used to treat or prevent cancer, HIV, diabetes, etc, have resulted from tests performed on animals. Many advocators of animal testing support the practice for this reason, even if they do not support testing, cosmetics or other non-essential substances on animals. No one chooses to use animals where there in no need. In fact, animal research has contributed to 70 percent of Nobel prizes for physiology or medicine.

Animal testing also enables scientists and researchers to test the safety of medicine and other substances with which humans have regular contact. Drugs, for example , may create significant risks to humans, so testing them on animals first gives researchers a chance to determine their safety before human trials are performed. While scientists understand the differences between humans and animals, the similarities are considered significant enough to produce relevant data that they can then apply to humans. This, animal testing reduces harm to humans and saves lives, not only because the exposure to risky substances is minimized, but because some new medicine and treatments have positive effects on humans’ overall quality of life.

However, a significant number of animals are harmed or die as a result of experiments and testing. Unfortunately, many of the substances used on animal subjects never receive approval for human use or consumption. Those who oppose animal testing consider this a very important point , because saving humans from suffering is no excuse for the death of laboratory animals. Opponents also argue that animals are dissimilar enough from humans to make the results of animals tests unreliable. Related criticism is that testing causes stress in animals, meaning that they do not react to experimental substances in the same way that they might in natural circumstances, making the results of experiments less valid

Using animals as research subjects is also expensive because they require food, shelter, care and treatment in addition to the costs of experimental substances. Long-term or multi-stage tests can increase the costs of the practice as well. The actual price paid for animals is also worth considering. In this respect, researchers take on an additional burden.

【答案】

【1】advances

【2】Opinions/Views

【3】standing

【4】improvement(s)

【5】guarantee/ensure

【6】link/connection

【7】minimum

【8】risk

【9】necessarily

【10】burdened

【解析】

试题分析:本文是记叙文。文章讲述了人们对于动物实验的两种对立的态度。

【1】advances 考查词性转换。从第二段第一句“Animal testing allows researchers to develop new medicine and treatments, advancing the field of medicine and improving the health of society.”可知,可把原文中的现在分词转化为名词。

【2】Opinions/Views 考查内容归纳。从表格可以看出,人们对于动物实验分别抱有赞成和发对的态度。

【3】standing 考查内容归纳。从表格右边的内容可知,空格对应的是赞成的人。stand up for支持。

【4】improvement(s) 考查词性转换。从第二段第一句“Animal testing allows researchers to develop new medicine and treatments, advancing the field of medicine and improving the health of society.”可知,可把原文中的现在分词转化为名词。

【5】guarantee/ensure 考查同义表述。从第三段第一句“Animal testing also enables scientists and researchers to test the safety of medicine and other substances with which humans have regular contact.”可知,科学家能通过动物实验测试药物的安全,也就是说动物测试能保证患者安全。

【6】link/connection 考查同义表述。从第三段倒数第二句“While scientists understand the differences between humans and animals, the similarities are considered significant enough to produce relevant data that they can then apply to humans.”中的“relevant”可知,空格处填入与此词意思相近的词。

【7】minimum 考查词性转换。从第三段最后一句“This, animal testing reduces harm to humans and saves lives, not only because the exposure to risky substances is minimized, but because some new medicine and treatments have positive effects on humans’ overall quality of life.”可知,过去分词转换成名词。

【8】risk 考查同义表述。从第四段第一句“However, a significant number of animals are harmed or die as a result of experiments and testing.”动物实验导致很多动物受到伤害或者死亡,也就是说使动物处于危险之中。

【9】necessarily 考查同义表述。根据倒数第二段倒数第一句“Related criticism is that testing causes stress in animals, meaning that they do not react to experimental substances in the same way that they might in natural circumstances, making the results of experiments less valid.”

可知,动物实验不一定能提供可靠的根据。

【10】burdened 考查词性转换。从最后一段最后一句“The actual price paid for animals is also worth considering. In this respect, researchers take on an additional burden.”可知照料动物会使实验者感到重负荷。

【题目】Happiness is a feeling that lights up your eyes, makes your steps light and makes you want to sing for no reason. Everyone wants to be happy. But sometimes, a guest comes in without invitation. It’s unhappiness. Don’t let it get you down. Send it away!

When you are happy, the world feels like a better place. As the saying goes: When you smile, the world smiles with you; when you cry, you cry alone.

【题目】“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before,” says Patsy Rowe, Manners have fallen off the radar(雷达). Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder that more people don’t wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with complaining about the noise. Here are some examples of rudeness.

Some people prefer to do almost everything over the Internet. To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because humans dont work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous(匿名的)rude messages by email.

However, rudeness is never acceptable. Dont assume it is OK to be rude if the person youre in touch with wont recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.

We shouldnt blame technology for our shortcomings. Technology is here to help us, but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step is acknowledging our shortcomings. People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we’d publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.

【1】What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?

A. People can tell good from bad behavior.

B. Radar is able to observe human behavior.

C. People care little about their behavior.

D. Radar can be used to predict human behavior.

【2】Some people are less willing to deal with humans because__________.

A. they are becoming less patient

B. they are growing too independent

C. they have to handle many important messages

D. they have to follow an evolutionary step backward.

【3】The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is ___________.

A. Ridiculous B. disgusting

C. acceptable D. reasonable

【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. We should applaud good behavior.

B. Technology can never be blamed

C. We should keep pointing out mistakes.

D. Technology will take over lives one day.
