But there are three Nobel prize-winning scientists who actually chose to experiment on themselves all in the name of science, reported The Telegraph.1. Werner Forssmann (Nobel prize winner in 1956)Forssmann was a German scientist. He studied how to put a pipe inside the heart to measure the pressure inside and decide whether a patient needs surgery.Experiments had been done on horses before, so he wanted to try with human patients. But it was not permitted because the experiment was considered too dangerous.Not giving up, Forssmann decided to experiment on himself. He anaesthetized (麻醉) his own arm and made a cut, putting the pipe 30 centimeters into his vein (静脉). He then climbed two floors to the X-ray room before pushing the pipe all the way into his heart.2. Barry Marshall (Nobel prize winner in 2005)Most doctors in the mid-20th century believed that gastritis was down to stress, spicy food or an unusually large amount of stomach acid. But in 1979 an Australian scientist named Robin Warren found that the disease might be related to a bacteria (细菌) called Helicobacter pylori.So he teamed up with his colleague, Barry Marshall, to continue the study. When their request to experiment on patients was denied, Marshall bravely drank some of the bacteria. Five days later, he lost his appetite and soon was vomiting each morning he indeed had gastritis.3. Ralph Steinman (Nobel prize winner in 2011)This Canadian scientist discovered a new type of immune system cell called the dendritic cell. He believed that it had the ability to fight against cancer.Steinman knew he couldnt yet use his method to treat patients. So in 2007, when doctors told him that he had cancer and that it was unlikely for him to live longer than a year, he saw an opportunity.With the help of his colleagues, he gave himself three different vaccines based on his research and a total of eight experimental therapies (疗法). Even though Steinman eventually died from his cancer, he lived four and a half years, much longer than doctors had said he would.33. The passage is mainly about _.A. some dangerous experiments that Nobel prize winners did on themselvesB. difficulties that scientists went through in order to make important discoveriesC. the reasons why some scientists chose to experiment on themselvesD. three Nobel prize winners who did experiments on themselves34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?A. Forssmanns experiment ended in failure.B. Forssmann managed to do his experiment on different kinds of animals.C. Barry Marshall succeeded by drinking some Helicobacter pylori.D. Barry Marshalls experiment on himself confirmed that most doctors belief about gastritis was correct.35. From the text, we can conclude that Ralph Steinman _. A. discovered a new type of cancer cell called the dendritic cellB. tried different therapies containing the dendritic cell on himselfC. knew that he himself would have cancer and die from itD. believed that he was better than doctors at treating cancer33、D. 主旨大意题。由第一段第二句及全文内容可知。34、C. 细节理解题。由2. Barry Marshall 中第二段最后两句可知。35、B. 推理判断题。由最后一段第一句可知。【2016模拟题】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 It may surprise bookworms, but apparently masterpieces such as Jane Eyre are lacking in something sound effects. An electronic-book firm is adding background noises and music to the works of Charlotte Bronte, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and William Shakespeare in the hope of attracting younger readers. In one example, a description of rain lashing against a window in a Sherlock Holmes story will be “enhanced” with matching noises.The first multimedia e-books with sounds to accompany novels will be available this Friday in the UK. The Booktrack releases are available to iPad users, with other tablet computer versions to follow. The concept is already in use in the U.S., where the classics come with added sound effects. Readers for example can hear the china cups chinking in Mr. Darcys garden as they read Pride And Prejudice. A story by Booker Prize winner Salman Rushdie will be released later in the year with a specially crafted orchestral score. Rushdies story In The South will be released with a soundtrack provided by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. The Power Of Six by Pittacus Lore, a novel for young adults, is one of the first to be tested with a soundtrack which builds in suspense in keeping with the plot. It works by timing the speed of each reader and the software measures the “turning” of a page and moves the music or sounds along accordingly. It has been created by Booktrack which synchronizes (使同步) music to each novel. It is funded by Peter Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal. Mr. Thiel said, “Its always exciting to witness the creation of a new form of media. The technology promises to captivate readers in a different way.”However, they have been greeted with horror by traditionalists, who say the technology takes away the pleasure of having ones imagination stimulated by a story. They also raise the prospect (预期) of having to ask an overly eager reader to turn their book down. David Nicholls, whose bestseller One Day was recently turned into a film starring Anne Hathaway, said, “This sounds like the opposite of reading. It would be a distraction.”1. Whats the purpose of the electronic-book firm adding sound effects to masterpieces? A. To add some creative factors to the e-books. B. To arouse interest of the readers. C. To satisfy the readers great need. D. To promote the technology progress.2. Where was the idea that sounds are added to accompany novels first put forward? A. Britain. B. Australia. C. New Zealand. D. America.3. The following should be done to make a soundtrack work, EXCEPT _. A. measuring how long each reader spends in reading B. increasing the volume of the music or sounds C. making out the reading speed D. changing the music or sounds with pages turned 4. Whats Mr. Thiel attitude to the future of the new form of media? A. Doubtful. B. Indifferent. C. Hopeful. D. Pessimistic.参考答案14、BDBC 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。Scientists in Mexico have just begun a new study of one of the worlds biggest pyramids: the Pyramid of the Sun, north of Mexico City.

The Queens and Kings Chambers were both empty! Where were the Kings mummy(木乃伊) and his treasures? Had someone already taken them away? The huge stone doors at the pyramids entrance were still closed when Al Manums men went inside. How had the thieves got in and out?Since then, many people have gone inside the Great Pyramid to have a look or to try to take things. But still, no other chambers or walkways have been found.In 2002, an American team made the most recent visit to the Great Pyramid.

He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didnt have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package. “Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily, “Tony said.” You dont have any luggage, right?” “Only this backpack,” Brian answered. “You said I could bring one carry-on bag.” “Thats right, one carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.” “Thanks.”Is Brian a criminal（犯罪）? Not at all. He is an air courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier, but it is quick. Every year about 80, 000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isnt for everyone, But if you have very little money, can be flexible（灵活的）about your travel plans, and dont mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take
