1、考研英语阅读理解模拟题及答案医学类考研英语阅读理解模拟题及答案医学类 Valeta Young, 81, a retiree from Lodi, Calif., suffers from congestive heart failure and requires almost constant monitoring. But she doesnt have to drive anywhere to get it. Twice a day she steps onto a special electronic scale, answers a few yes or no questions v
2、ia push buttons on a small attached monitor and presses a button that sends the information to a nurses station in San Antonio, Texas. “Its almost a direct link to my doctor,” says Young, who describes herself as computer illiterate but says she has no problems using the equipment. Young is not the
3、only patient who is dealing with her doctor from a distance. Remote monitoring is a rapidly growing field in medical technology, with more than 25 firms competing to measure remotelyand transmit by phone, Internet or through the airwaveseverything from patients heart rates to how often they cough. P
4、rompted both by the rise in health-care costs and the increasing computerization of health-care equipment, doctors are using remote monitoring to track a widening variety of chronic diseases. In March, St. Francis University in Pittsburgh, Pa., partnered with a company called BodyMedia on a study in
5、 which rural diabetes patients use wireless glucose meters and armband sensors to monitor their disease. And last fall, Yahoo began offering subscribers the ability to chart their asthma conditions online, using a PDA-size respiratory monitor that measures lung functions in real time and e-mails the
6、 data directly to doctors. Such home monitoring, says Dr. George Dailey, a physician at the Scripps Clinic in San Diego, “could someday replace less productive ways that patients track changes in their heart rate, blood sugar, lipid levels, kidney functions and even vision.” Dr. Timothy Moore, execu
7、tive vice president of Alere Medical, which produces the smart scales that Young and more than 10,000 other patients are using, says that almost any vital sign could, in theory, be monitored from home. But, he warns, that might not always make good medical sense. He advises against performing electr
8、ocardiograms remotely, for example, and although he acknowledges that remote monitoring of blood-sugar levels and diabetic ulcers on the skin may have real value, he points out that there are no truly independent studies that establish the value of home testing for diabetes or asthma. Such studies a
9、re needed because the technology is still in its infancy and medical experts are divided about its value. But on one thing they all agree: you should never rely on any remote testing system without clearing it with your doctor. 注(1):本文选自Time;8/9/2004, p101-101, 1/2p, 2c; 注(2):本文习题命题仿照对象2004年真题text 1

D Medical experts agree on the value of remote monitoring. 答案:CADBC Dr. Wise Young has never met the hundreds of thousands of people he has helped in the past 10 years, and most of them have never heard of Wise Young. If they did meet him, however, theyd
14、 want to shake his handand the remarkable thing about that would be the simple fact that so many of them could. All the people Young has helped were victims of spinal injuries, and they owe much of the mobility they have today to his landmark work. Young, 51, head of the W.M. Keck Center for Collabo
15、rative Neuroscience at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N.J., was born on New Years Day at the precise midpoint of the 20th century. Back then, the thinking about spinal-cord injury was straightforward: When a cord is damaged, its damaged. Theres nothing that can be done after an injury to resto
16、re the function that was so suddenly lost. As a medical student at Stanford University and a neurosurgeon at New York University Medical Center, Young never had much reason to question that received wisdom, but in 1980 he began to have his doubts. Spinal cords, he knew, experience progressive damage
17、 after theyre injured, including swelling and inflammation, which may worsen the condition of the already damaged tissue. If that secondary insult could be relieved with drugs, might some function be preserved? Young spent a decade looking into the question, and in 1990 he co-led a landmark study sh
18、owing that when high doses of a steroid known as methylprednisolone are administered within eight hours of an injury, about 20% of function can be saved. Twenty percent is hardly everything, but it can often be the difference between breathing unassisted or relying on a respirator, walking or spendi
19、ng ones life in a wheelchair. “This discovery led to a revolution in neuroprotective therapy,” Young says. A global revolution, actually. More than 50,000 people around the world suffer spinal injuries each year, and these days, methylprednisolone is the standard treatment in the U.S. and many other
20、 countries. But Young is still not satisfied. The drug is an elixir for people who are newly injured, but the relief it offers is only partial, and many spinal-injury victims were hurt before it became available. Youngs dream is to help those people tooto restore function already lostand to that end
21、 he is studying drugs and growth factors that could improve conduction in damaged nerves or even prod the development of new ones. To ensure that all the neural researchers around the world pull together, he has created the International Neurotrauma Society, founded the Journal of Neural Trauma and
22、established a website (carecure.rutgers.edu) that receives thousands of hits each day. “The cure for spinal injury is going to be a combination of therapies,” Young says. “Its the most collaborative field I know.” Perhaps. But increasingly it seems that if the collaborators had a field general, his
23、name would be Wise Young. 注(1):本文选自Time;8/20/2001, p54; 注(2):本文习题命题仿照对象2004年真题text 3; 1. By “the remarkable thing about that would be the simple fact that so many of them could”(Line three, Paragraph 1), the author means_. A The remarkable thing is actually the simple fact.

How did people think of the spinal-cord injury at the middle of 20th century? A pessimistic B optimistic C
