江苏省高考英语真题汇编日常生活类短文阅读

1、学习必备欢迎下载江苏省 2011-20XX 年高考英语真题汇编日常生活类阅读(2012 江苏 )CMedical drugs sometimes cause more damage than they cure. One solution to this problem isto put the drugs inside a capsule, protecting them from the body and the body from them until they can be released at just the right spot. There are lots of ways

2、to trigger( 引发 ) this release, including changing temperature, acidity, and so on. But triggers can come with their own risks burns, for example. Now, researchers in California have designed what could be a harmlesstrigger to date: shining near-infrared light (NIR,近红外线 ) on the drug in the capsule.T

3、he idea of using light to liberate the drug in the capsule isn't new. Researchers around theglobe have developed polymers ( 聚合物 ) and other materials that begin to break down when theyabsorb cither ultraviolet(UV ,紫外线 ) or visible light. But tissues also readily absorb UV andvisible light, which

4、 means the drug release can be triggered only near the skin, where the light can reach the capsule. NIR light largely passes through tissues, so researchers have tried to use it as atrigger. But few compounds( 化合物 ) absorb NIR well and go through chemical changes. That changed last year when Adah Al

5、mutairi, a chemist at the University of California, SanDiego, reported that she and her colleagues had designed a polymer that breaks down when itabsorbs NIR light. Their polymer used a commerciallyavailable NIR-absorbing group calledo-nitrobenzyl (ONB). When they catch the light, ONB groups fall of

6、f the polymer, leading to itsbreakdown. But ONB is only a so-so NIR absorber, and it could be poisonous to cells when itseparates from the polymer.So Almutairi and her colleagues reported creatinga new material for capsules that's evenbetter. This one consists of a long chain of compounds called

7、 cresol groups linked in a polymer.Cresol contains reactive( 易反应的 ) components that make it highly unstable in its polymeric form, a feature Almutairi and her colleagues use to their advantage. After polymerizing the cresols, they cap each reactive component with a light-absorbing compound called Bh

8、c. When the Bhcs absorb NIR light, the reactive groups are exposed and break the long polymer into two short chains. Shining additional light continues this breakdown, potentially releasing any drugs in the capsule. What's more, Almutairi says, Bhc is 10 times better at absorbing NIR than is ONB

9、 and is not poisonous to cells.63. According to the passage, which of the following could be the best trigger?A. Temperature change.B. NIR light.C. Acidity change.D. UV light.64. Why in ONB unsatisfactory?A. It breaks down when it absorbs NIR light.B. It falls off the polymer and triggers drug relea
