C、thereisn'tagoodfillingsystemtorecordthedocument

D、ittakestoomuchtimetocopywhatiswritteninthediagnosis

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节题。该细节在文章的第一段开头.如把病历从一个医院转移到另

外一个医院很慢，医生的笔迹不好辨认等等。选项中，邮费的问题文中没有提到，

故A错误，没有好的记录系统文中也没有提到。抄写诊断书的内容文中也没有涉

及，只有B,书写很难辨认文中提到了，故选B。

2、Whatwasmadepossiblebyadoptingcomputertechnologyinmedical

communication?

A、Patientsdon'thavetocometothephannacytopickuptheirmedicine.

B、Doctorscanprovideatreatmentwithouttheassistanceofnurses.

C^Hospitalscanacceptmorepatientsattheemergencyroom.

DxPatientsathomecancoinmnnicatewiththeirdoctorabouttheirbloodpressure.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：细节题。该细节在文章的第二、三段，比如医生可以在第一时间知道

你的过往病历，方便医生和患者的沟通，和患者信息的交换，更安全高效等。选项

中，文中没有说到患者可以不去抓药，也没有说医生不需要护士帮忙治疗，或者说

医院可以在急救室接受病人，A、B、C都没有提到，只有D正确，病人可以在家

和医生沟通自己的血压。

3^Inmakingprescriptions,.

A、doctorsshouldbecarefulnottowritedownpersonalinformation

B、itisdifferenttofindoutallthepatient,sallergies

C、thenewtechnologyhelpsavoiderrorsabouttheamountofmedication

A、arestillimprovingandbecomingsafer

B、requiremanyspecialistsaboutcomputerstoavoidaccidents

C、solveeveryproblemwehavenowinhospitals

D^areconvenientfordoctorsandnurses,butnotforpatients

标准答案：A

知识点解析：推断题。根据文章的最后一段，作者提到如果操作不当，会使医生迷

惑降低病历的可信度，但是这些问题只是有时发生。可以推断还是需要今后的改

进。而没有说到需要电胸专业人员来避免危险.不可能解决医院的一切问题。电子

病例对医生、护士和患者都有利，故B、C、D错误，A正确。

5、Whichofthefollowingstatementsistrue?

diagnosisandtheprescriptiononline.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节题。文章的第一段和最后一段提到这种系统正在被越来越多的医

院使用，虽然贵，但是收效很大，但是没有说到大多数机构都买不起，故A错

误，B正确。也没有提到电脑出错的问题，故C错误。电子病历只是方便了医生和

患者的沟通，但并不是说患者就可以不去医院了，故D错误。故选B。

6、Barkbeetles.

A、aredisappearingbecauseoftheincreaseofwildfires

B、areeasilykilledbywoodpeckersandnuthatches

C^laytheireggsunderthegroundatthebottomoftrees

D、havebecomeabletosurvivethewinter

标准答案:D

知识点解析•：细节题。本文讲述了因为全球变暖，导致一种害虫在森林肆虐的情

况。因为全球变暖，树木的树脂干枯，不能淹死入侵的害虫，导致害虫的繁殖量增

大，幼虫死亡率降低，在森林中肆虐。故A错误。"Woodpeckersandnulhatches

keepadultnumbersincheck,butwithwarmerwinters,beetlepopulationscan

quadrupleinayear,outpacingtheirpursuers^,故它的天敌不能有效地控制虫害,B

错误。由“Thegalleriesofeggstheylayinsidethebark..”,可以看出他们把卵产在树

皮下，故C错误。从"mildwintersinWyominghavehelpedthebeetlelarvae(幼

虫)survivetheseason”中看出D正确。

7、Whatistherelationshipbetweenbarkbeetlesandclimatechange?

A、Moreandmorebarkbeetlesdieduetoglobalwanning.

B、Barkbeetleshavemoreriskofdyinginwarmingwinters.

C、Globalwarmingcausesanincreaseinthenumberofbarkbeetles.

D、Thereisnorelationbetweenthem.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：细节题。从上题的解析中可以看出，气候变暖对于这种害虫的繁衍有

利.暖冬可以使他们的死亡率降低，故A、B、D错误。他们的关系是变暖可以导

致害虫数量的增长。

8、Whydowehavemorewildfiresnowthanbefore?

A、Becausethenumberofthebarkbeetlesisdecreasing.

Becausetreeswherebarkbeetleslivedryouteasilyandcatchfire.

C、Becausebarkbeetlespreventtheearthfromgettingwarmer.

D^Becausebarkbeetlesarecold-bloodedandneedfiretowarmuptheirbodies.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：推断题。眼据文章的第一段，气候变暖导致树木及土壤水分量减少，

导致火灾数量的增多。由此可见问题在于水分的减少。而这种害虫导致树木死亡，

死亡的树木含水量很低，就更容易着火，故选B。

9、Whatkindofchangeshasappearedinthelivingareaofbarkbeetles?

A、Theyaremovingfromthecoolercasttothewarmerwestareas.

B、Theyhavebecomeabletoliveinthehigherareasofthemountains.

C、TheyaremovingfromAlaskatoWyoming.

D^Theyhavecometoliveinthedeadtreesafterwildfires.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节题。由文章的最后一段，“Warmingisalsoexpandingthe

beetles'rangeintohigherakitudes.”可知，因为气候变暖，地球上高海拔地区也开始

温度升高，这样这种害虫的生活范围向上延展，可以在更大的范围内生活，故B

正确。这种扩大是海拔上的，立体的，而不是横向的，故A、C错误。D文中没有

提及。

10、Whichofthefollowingstatementistrue?

A、Thelifeexpectancyofthebarkbeetlesisbecomingshorter.

B、Globalwarmingdoesn,tinfluencetheearth'sbiologicalsystems.

C>Thenumberofwoodpeckersisrapidlyincreasingbecauseofwarmerwinters.

D、Wecanrelyonbarkbeetlestoindicateglobalclimatechange.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：细节题。艰据本文的大意（见第1题解析），A、B和文章的意思相

悖。C中因为暖冬数量增加的是这种甲虫，而不是啄木鸟，故错误。D这一细节在

文中结尾，“thebeetlesseemtobeareliableindicatorofglobalclimatechange''提及

过，故选Do

知识点解析：细节题。在很多国家，为了使本国的人民吃得更健康.政府正在准备

增加不健康食物的消费税，以减少人们对这些食物的购买。本题的答案可以从文章

的第—段得出."'governmentsaretryingtogetcitizenstoeatmorehealthily...Oneway

inwhichgovernmentsaretryingtodothisisbyincreasingtaxesonfoodsthat

areunheakhy.”即促使人们在买这些食物的时候多花钱，故选B。其他三项文中都

没有提及。

governmentwaswrongtosaythatthefoodstheyproduceareunhealthy.Cheese,for

example,containsalotoffat»butitdoesnotseemtoleadtohealthproblemsinthe

wayotherkindsoffatdo.”即他们认为他们生产的食物不是不健康的.故选C。

13、Whatwasoneresultoftaxingfoodsthathavealotoffat?

A、Manypeopleavoidedpayingthetaxbyshoppingabroad.

B、ManypeoplebeganeatingtraditionalDanishfood.

C、Itmadehealthyfoodslikefruitandvegetablescostmore.

D、ItcausedpeopleinGermanyandSwedentospendlessmoney.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：细节题。该细节在文章的第三段，“Sincethesecouldnotbeboughtin

意。

B、ismoreconcernedaboutmoneythanthehealthofitscitizens

C、hasenoughinformationtoseeiftaxesonunhealthyfoodsareeffective

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节题。医生的看法可以在文章的最后一段找到，umanydoctorssay

thatoneyearisnotlongenoughtoknowifthetaxhelpedDanish

citizens,health...TheyclaimthattheDanishgovernmentisworriedmoreaboutthe

economythanitisabouttheDanishpeople.”即他们认为政府考虑经济多些,而不是

人民的健康，故与B相符。

15、Whichofthefollowingstatementistrue?

A、Somepeoplethinkthatmakinghealthyfoodscheaperwouldworkbetterthanatax.

B、Healthexpertssaythatweshouldeatmoredairyproductsthanotherfoods.

C、Somekindsoffruitandvegetablesareasunhealthyasmeat.

makehealthyfoods,suchasvegetables,cheaper.”即不该多收不健康食物的税,而

应该降低健康食物的价格，故A正确。而文中健康专家说“weneedtoconsidereach

fbodscparatclyandnotsimplyworryabouthowmuchfatitcontains”.并没有说奶制品

更健康，故B错误。文中没有提到水果和蔬菜不健康，故C错误。D与文意相

反，不健康的食物有更高的税，人们为了避开交税而不会买不健康的食物，故选
