Question

【題目】 What is the worst disease in the world? Many people might say it is cancer. Cancer will kill about 9.6 million people in the world this year, according to World Health Organization. Scientists have been working to find ways to beat cancer. A lot of progress has been made in this field.

James P Allison from the US and Japanese researcher Tasuku Honjo discovered a new kind of cancer treatment that earned them the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in October. The new treatment can make our immune systems (免疫系統(tǒng)) strong enough to effectively fight cancer cells. It is hoped that this treatment can be used to treat more cancers in the future.

This is not the only recent improvement in cancer treatment. In November, the US Food and Drug Administration approved（批準(zhǔn)）a new cancer drug called Vitrakvi. Instead of being effective only for treating specific types of cancer, this drug can be used to treat 17 different kinds of cancer, including lung cancer and breast cancer, USA Today reported.

Finding cancer as early as possible is the best way to beat it. To check people for cancer, doctors must collect tissue（組織）from a patient’s tumor（腫瘤 ）and test it. This process can take a long time. But in December, scientists from the University of Queensland in Australia developed a simple cancer test that can detect (檢測) cancer in a patient’s blood. The test takes less than 10 minutes. The test is about 90 percent accurate (精確的), the Guardian reported.

With all of these treatments, cancer can be effectively controlled. Honjo believes most kinds of cancer will become treatable by 2050. “Even if we cannot completely eliminate(消除) the tumor, we can survive while still having part of a tumor,” Honjo said at a press conference in Stockholm, Sweden, in December.

【1】The first paragraph tells us that____________________.

C.It can’t be used to treat lung cancer or breast cancer.

D.It can be used for treating all types of cancer.

【3】According to Paragraph 4, why is this new simple cancer test important?

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】C

【4】A

【解析】

這篇短文主要講述了世界上最嚴(yán)重的疾病就是癌癥，現(xiàn)在科學(xué)家們正在設(shè)法研制治療癌癥的藥，將來癌癥可能會治愈。

【1】段落大意。根據(jù)文中Scientists have been working to find ways to beat cancer. A lot of progress has been made in this field.可知，癌癥治療有了一些新的進(jìn)步。故選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文中this drug can be used to treat 17 different kinds of cancer, including lung cancer and breast cancer, USA Today reported. 該藥可用于治療肺癌、乳腺癌等17種不同類型的癌癥，而不僅僅是治療特定類型的癌癥。故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文中scientists from the University of Queensland in Australia developed a simple cancer test that can detect (檢測) cancer in a patient’s blood. The test takes less than 10 minutes. The test is about 90 percent accurate (精確的), the Guardian reported.可知，因?yàn)樗�縮短了檢測癌癥的時間。故選C。

【4】主旨大意。根據(jù)文中With all of these treatments, cancer can be effectively controlled. Honjo believes most kinds of cancer will become treatable by 2050. 到2050年，大多數(shù)癌癥都可以治愈。說明未來的癌癥患者會感到更有希望。故選A。

1、平心靜氣審題，切忌粗心。在解答閱讀題時，千萬不要慌，要靜下心來，按照由易到難，由淺入深的思維方式，先從容易的入手，逐漸的打開思路。

2、仔細(xì)研讀語段，整體感知文章內(nèi)容。通常閱讀一篇文章，第一遍需要速讀，首先要重點(diǎn)理解文章的體裁是記敘文還是說明文。答題時切忌文章都沒完整的閱讀過，就匆匆忙忙地寫答案。最好先把文章從頭到尾通讀一遍，對文章有一個整體的認(rèn)識和理解。

3、巧妙借助"原話"，確定解題空間。在通讀全文的基礎(chǔ)上，將要回答的問題放到閱讀的文章中來，再去瀏覽所要回答的試題，經(jīng)過初步的思考，確定解決問題的閱讀空間。有些試題它要求用文中原話來回答，我們就可以用文中的原話來作答，這時就可以"從文章中直接提取信息"來回答問題。

4、合理控制答題時間，先易后難。應(yīng)瀏覽閱讀理解的全文，了解閱讀理解全文的概貌。看完后，應(yīng)記住閱讀理解文章的要點(diǎn)，閱讀理解重要的結(jié)論以及閱讀理解中的一些關(guān)鍵性的人名、地點(diǎn)、定義和數(shù)字。碰到閱讀理解的難題時，千萬不要鉆牛角尖，耽誤太多時間。

如第2小題考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文中this drug can be used to treat 17 different kinds of cancer, including lung cancer and breast cancer, USA Today reported. 該藥可用于治療肺癌、乳腺癌等17種不同類型的癌癥，而不僅僅是治療特定類型的癌癥。故選B。
