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(症状) are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis(远程诊断) will be based on real physiological data(生理数据) 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 needespecially after earthquakes. On the whole, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and experts' opinions. But there is one problem. Bandwidth(宽带) is the limiting factor for sending complex(复杂的) 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.

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 【答案与解析】本文主要讲述人们将来可以通过网上看病，医生可以根据病人的生理数据做出远程诊断。随着第二代因特网和第三代移动手机为将来的远程医疗服务，尤其是宽带网交流价格的下降，远程医疗和医药信息、专家意见和诊断共享将成为家常便饭。 1.

Tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no babies, and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as Alzheimer's(早老痴呆症). University of Richmond psychology professor Craig Kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans. “Our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy(怀孕) are protecting the brain, including estrogen(雌激素), which we know has many neuroprotective (保护神经的) effects,” Kinsley said. “It's rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals,” he added in a telephone interview. “They go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.” Kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from Alzheimer's and other forms of age-related brain decline. “When people think about pregnancy, they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down,” said Kinsley, who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Orlando, Florida. “They do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain. If you look at female animals who have never gone through pregnancy, they act differently toward young. But if she goes through pregnancy, she will sacrifice her life for her infantthat is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic alterations(改变) to the brain.” 1. How do scientists know “Motherhood may make women smarter”? A. Some researchers have told them. B. Many women say so. C. They know it by experimenting on rats. D. They know it through their own experience. 2. What does the phrase “litters of pups” mean in the second paragraph? A. Baby rats. B. Animals. C. Old rats. D. Grown-up rats. 3. What can protect the brain of a woman according to the passage? A. Estrogen. B. The hormones of pregnancy. C. More exercise. D. Taking care of children. 4. “It's rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals.” What does the sentence suggest? A. The experiments on the rats have nothing to do with humans. B. The experiments on the rats are very important for animals. C. The experiments on the rats are much the same on humans. D. The experiments on the rats are much the same on other animals. 5. Which title is the best for this passage? A. Do You Want to Be Smarter? B. Motherhood Makes Women Smarter C. Mysterious Hormones D. An Important Study 【答案与解析】本文介绍了一个观点：母性特点能使妇女变得更加聪明灵敏。 1. C。细节题。根据Tests on rats show 可知科学家是通过做老鼠实验得出这个结论的。 2. A。词义猜测题。后面的对比who have no babies，实际上提供了一个相反的情况，所以我们可以推测those who raise two or more litters of pups中的litters of pups指的是“刚出生不久的小老鼠”。 3.
