英语阅读障碍词汇分类克服（2）疾病与医疗类1、法国报告一份冠状病毒死亡病例A patient infected with the novel coronavirus has died in France, according to the health ministry.一名感染新型冠状病毒的患者在法国逝世。The virus, which is similar to those which cause Sars and the common cold, emerged last year.Out of 44 confirmed cases around the world, 23 people have now died with most infections linked to travel to the Middle East.The virus causes pneumonia（肺炎） and, sometimes, organ failure. Most patients have had other health problems.The 65-year-old, who had been travelling in Dubai, died in hospital on Tuesday.Another patient who shared a hospital room with the man has caught the infection.Concern?(担心，顾虑)Cases have been reported in Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, France, Germany, Tunisia and the UK.Half of the 44 cases reported have been in Saudi Arabia.In a statement earlier in May the World Health Organization said: The greatest global concern, however, is about the potential for this new virus to spread.This is partly because the virus has already caused severe disease in multiple countries, although in small numbers, and has persisted in the Middle East region since 2012.Of most concern, however, is the fact that the different clusters seen in multiple countries increasingly support the hypothesis that when there is close contact this novel coronavirus can transmit from person to person.In February, a patient died in a hospital in Birmingham, in the UK, after three members of the same family became infected.It is thought a family member had picked up the virus while travelling to the Middle East and Pakistan.Prof Ian Jones, a virologist at the University of Reading, said the death was tragic, but the risks of infection were low.It is very rare and apart from the unusual circumstances of very close containment with already hospitalised persons, it does not seem to transfer among people.As a result, the overall risk remains very low and the most pressing need is to identify where the virus is coming from so that these occasional infections can be prevented. 障碍词汇 infected with感染，沾染上，感染有 novel 不常见的，新奇的，奇异的；小说 coronavirus n. 冠状病毒；日冕形病毒 virus n. 病毒 病毒；恶毒；毒害 Sars非典型肺炎（Severe Acute Respiratory Syndromes） the common

appears likely that the novel coronavirus（冠状病毒） (NCoV) can be passed between people in close contact.This comes after the French health ministry confirmed a second man had contracted the virus in a possible case of human-to-human transmission.Two more people in Saudi Arabia are also reported to have died from the virus, according to health officials.NCoV is known to cause pneumonia and sometimes kidney failure.World Health Organization (WHO) officials have expressed concern over the clusters of cases of the new coronavirus strain and the potential for it to spread.Since 2012, there have been 33 confirmed cases across Europe and the Middle East, with 18 deaths, according to a recent WHO update.Cases have been detected in Saudi Arabia and Jordan and have spread to Germany, the UK and France.Of most concern. is the fact that the different clusters seen in multiple countries increasingly support the hypothesis that when there is close contact this novel coronavirus can transmit from person to person, the World Health Organization said on Sunday.This pattern of person-to-person transmission has remained limited to some small clusters and so far, there is no evidence to suggest the virus has the capacity to sustain generalised transmission in communities, the statement adds.Frances second confirmed case was a 50-year-old man who had shared a hospital room in Valenciennes, northern France, with a 65-year-old who fell ill with the virus after returning from Dubai.Positive results for the virus have been confirmed for both patients, the French health ministry said, adding that both men were being treated in isolation wards.Meanwhile, the Saudi deputy minister of health said on Sunday that two more people had died from the coronavirus, bringing the number of fatalities to nine in the most recent outbreak in al-Ahsa governorate in the east of Saudi Arabia, Reuters news agency reports.The Saudi health ministry said that 15 people had died out of the 24 cases diagnosed since last summer.WHO officials have not yet confirmed the latest deaths.In February, a patient died in a hospital in Birmingham, England, after three members of the same family became infected.It is thought a family member had picked up the virus while travelling to the Middle East and Pakistan.Novel coronavirus is from the same family of viruses as the one that caused an outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (Sars) that emerged in Asia in 2003.However, NCoV and Sars are distinct from each other, the WHO said in its statement on Sunday.Coronavirus is known to cause respiratory infections in both humans and animals.But it is not yet clear whether it is a mutation of an existing virus or an infection in animals that has made the jump to humans. 障碍词汇it appears likely that看来很可能

murders of three babies delivered and killed with scissors in late-term abortions.费城一位医生因在妊娠晚期流产手术中用手术剪杀死三名婴儿被判一级谋杀罪。Dr Kermit Gosnell, 72, was acquitted on another charge of killing a fourth baby, who let out a whimper（呜咽声） before he cut its neck, prosecutors said.He was also found guilty of involuntary manslaughter（过失杀人罪） of an adult patient who died of an overdose.The case was seized on by both sides in the US debate over abortion.Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Gosnell.He performed thousands of abortions over a career spanning three decades. Officials said his medical practice earned him about $1.8m (1.1m) a year.House of horrorsFormer staff members of the clinic testified that he had routinely performed illegal late-term abortions past Pennsylvanias 24-week limit.The trial heard how Gosnell would deliver babies alive then use scissors to snip - as he referred to it - their spines.Among the untrained staff who helped to perform the terminations was Gosnells wife, Pearl. She pleaded guilty to a number of charges and testified against him.The trial heard that one of the babies was almost 30 weeks when aborted. Gosnell had joked that the baby was big enough to walk to the bus. A second foetus was said to have clung to life for about 20 minutes.A third was born in a toilet and seen moving before a clinic employee severed its spinal cord, according to testimony.Gosnells lawyer, Jack McMahon, had argued that none of the foetuses was born alive. Any movement was posthumous twitching or spasms, he said.The attorney branded prosecutors racist for pursuing his client, who is black. Gosnell did not testify and no witnesses were called in his defence.8障碍词汇 convict of宣判(某人)犯有(某罪) abortions n. 妇产 堕胎；多次流产 acquit vt. 无罪释放；表现；脱卸义务和责任；清偿 prosecutor n. 检察官；公诉人；法 起诉人；实行者 guilty adj. 有罪的；内疚的 overdose n. 药量过多（等于overdosage）vt. 配药过量；使过分沉溺vi. 服药过量；过分沉溺 seize on 抓住；占有 debate n. 辩论；辩论会vt.辩论，争论，讨论vi. 辩论，争论，讨论 penalty n. 罚款，罚金；处罚 span v. 横跨 staff member职员 clinic n. 诊所；临床 testify vt. 证明，证实；作证vi. 作证；证明 routinely adv. 例行公事地；老一套地 illegal adj. 法 非法的；违法的；违反规则的n. 非法移民；间谍 Pennsylvania n. 宾夕法尼亚州（美国州名） trial n. 审讯；审判；试验；努力；磨炼adj. 试验的；审讯的 snip n. 剪；便宜货vt. 剪断vi. 剪 spines n. 解剖 脊柱；棘状突起；体刺（spine的复数） untrained adj. 未经训练的 terminations n. 结果；结束； 终端；结局 plead guilty 承认有罪；服罪；被告服罪 charge起诉，指控 testify against作对不利的证明；作证反对 foetus n. 胎儿 复数 foetuses clung v. 坚持（cling的过去分词）；紧握；贴近 sever vt. 割断，断绝；分开；使分离 spinal cord 解剖 脊髓 testimony n. 法 证词，证言；证据 posthumous adj. 死后的；遗腹的；作者死后出版的 twitching n. 颤搐v. 使抽搐；猛拉；夺走（twitch的ing形式） spasm n. 肌痉挛 attorney n. 律师；代理人 brandvt. 铭刻于，铭记；打烙印于；印商标于n. 商标，牌子；烙印 racistn. 种族主义者；种族主义的 pursue n. 追求；追逐；追赶v. 从事；追赶 client n. 经 客户；顾客；委托人 defence n.辩护； 防御；防卫；答辩；防卫设备另附：常见疾病与医疗类词汇 n. 头痛；麻烦；令人头痛之事headache n. 腹痛，肚子痛；胃痛stomachache 发烧haveafever 感冒cold;
