Passage one

The American society of clinical oncology wrapped its annual conference this week, going through the usual motions of presenting a lot of drugs that offer some added quality or extension of life to those suffering from a variety of as-yet incurable diseases. But buried deep in an AP story are a couple of promising headlines that seems worthy of more thorough review, including one treatment study where 100 percent of patients saw their cancer diminish by half. 美国临床肿瘤协会于本周召开年会,大会讨论像往年一样提议了一些药物,能够提高疗效以及延长那些已确诊的不治之症患者的寿命,但深挖美联社报道中文章,发现一个有前景的标题,值得我们进一步了解,其中一个治疗研究,明确所有患者经过治疗后有一半患者肿瘤消失。

First of all, it seems pharmaceuticalcompanies are moving away from the main cost-effective one-size-fits-all approach to drug development and embracing the long cancer treatments, engineering drugs that only work for a small percentage of patients but work very effectively within that group. 首先,制药公司从主要以效益一刀切发展模式向药物研发和接受长期癌症治疗,以及针对一小部分患者且成效显著的药物研发。

Pfizer announced that one such drug it’s pushing into late-stage testing is target for 4% of lung cancer patients. But more than 90% of that

tiny cohort responded to the drug initial tests, and 9 out of ten is getting pretty close to the ideal ten out of ten. By gearing toward more boutique treatments rather than broad umbrella pharmaceuticals that to fit for everyone it seems cancer researchers are making some headway. But how can we close the gap on that remaining ten percent ?Pfizer(辉瑞)宣称适用于4%的肺癌患者的药物已进入最后的测试阶段,但是在小群体的初测试验中,有超过90%的患者取得了良好是成效,9层的疗效与百分之百这个完美的结果非常接近。在为所有患者提供精品而不是广泛的胶囊药物治疗方面,癌症研究人员取得了进步,但是该如何提升剩下的那10%的空间那?

Ask Takeda pharmaceutical and Celgene, two drug makers who put aside competitive interests to test a novel combination of their treatments. In a test of 66 patients with the blood disease multiple myeloma, a full 100 percent of the subjects saw their cancer reduced by half.Needless to say, a 100 percent response to a cancer drug (or in this case a drug cocktail) is more or less unheard of. Moreover, this combination never would’ve competing companies hadn’t sat down and put their heads together.Takeda和Celgene两家制药公司,撇开竞争性利益,尝试了治疗研究的新结合,在一项有66名血液系统多发骨髓瘤的患者的研究中,100%的研究对象提示肿瘤减少了一半,毋庸置疑,100%的疗效不论是对于一种抗癌症药物还是所谓鸡尾酒疗法都前所未闻,因此,如果两家公司结合不能有竞争,需要坐下来商榷,群策群力,才会有

这项研究。

Are there more potentially effective drug combos out there separated by competitive interest and proprietary information? Who’s to say, but it seems like with the amount of money and research being pumped into cancer drug development, the outcome pretty good. And if researchers can start pushing more of their response numbers toward 100 percent, we can more easily start talking about oncology’s favorite four-letter word: cure.未来会有更多有效的药物联合治疗方案吗?谁都不好说,因为两家竞争公司存在竞争效益和信息专有的问题,但是,随着更多资金和研究的投入,这种联合取得好的成效,如果研究人员开始把药效向100%推进,那也能更加容易地开始讨论肿瘤学最令人希望的一个词:治愈。

考博英语(阅读理解)-试卷80 (总分:40.00,做题时间:90分钟) 一、Reading Comprehensio(总题数:4,分数:40.00) Too much alcohol dulls your senses, but a study in Japan shows that moderate drinkers have a higher IQ than teetotalers. Researchers at the National Institute for Longevity Sciences in Aichi Prefecture, 250 kilometers west of Tokyo, tested the IQs of 2000 people between the ages of 40 and 79. They found that, on average, men who drank moderately — defined as less than 540 milliliters of sake or wine a day — had an IQ that was 3. 3 points higher that men who did not drink at all. Women drinkers scored 2. 5 points higher than female teetotalers. The type of alcohol didn't influence the results. The volunteers tried a variety of tipples, which ranged from beer and whisky to wine and sake. The researchers are quick to point out that the results do not necessarily show that drinking will make you more intelligent. "It's very difficult to show a cause-effect relationship," says senior researcher Hiroshi Shimokata. "We screened subjects for factors such as income and education, but there may be other factors such as lifestyle and nutritional intake. " Shimokata says that people who drink sake, or Japanese rice wine, tend to eat more raw fish. This could be a factor in enhanced intelligence, as fish often contain essential fatty acids that have been linked to brain development. Similarly, wine drinkers eat a lot of cheese, which is not something Japanese people normally consume or buy. Shimokata says the high fat content of cheese is thought to be good for the brain. If alcoholic drinks are directly influencing IQ, Shimokata believes chemicals such as polyphenols could be the critical factor. They are known to have antioxidant properties and other beneficial effects on ageing bodies, such as dilating constricted coronary arteries. The study is part of a wider research project to find out why brain function deteriorates with age.(分数:10.00) (1).The Japanese study was carried out on______.(分数:2.00) A.the development of IQ B.the secret of longevity C.the brain food in a glass D.the amount of healthy drinking (2).The Japanese researchers found a higher IQ in______.(分数:2.00) A.female teetotalers than in male ones B.female drinkers than in male ones C.moderate drinkers D.teetotalers (3).When he says that it is very difficult to show cause-effect relationship, Shimokata means that______.(分数:2.00) A.the study failed to involve such variables as income and education B.he is doubtful of the findings of the investigation C.there are some other contributing factors D.the results were just misleading (4).From Shimokata's mention of fish and cheese we can infer that in enhancing intelligence______.(分数:2.00) A.sake or wine is a perfect match for fish and cheese B.they promote the drinking effect of sake or wine C.they are not as effective as sake and wine D.sake or wine is not alone (5).Based on the study, Shimokata would say that______.(分数:2.00) A.intelligence improves with age

中央财经大学考博英语阅读理解真题解析

中央财经大学考博英语阅读理解真题解析American social scientist Lewis Henry Morgan introduced another theory of cultural evolution in the late1800s.Morgan,along with Tylor,was one of the founders of modern anthropology.In his work, he attempted to show how all aspects of culture changed together in the evolution of societies.42._____________. In the early1900s in North America,German-born American anthropologist Franz Boas developed a new theory of culture known as historical particularism.Historical particularism,which emphasized the uniqueness of all cultures,gave new direction to anthropology.43._____________.

2015西南财经大学考博英语历年真题 一、招考介绍 从整体上看,由于博士生招生形势的不断发展各院校博士生入学考试的难度越来越大,对考生的外语水平要求也越来越高,特别是听、说能力。攻读博士学位的学生,一方面应该具备坚实的专业理论基础和扎实的科研能力,另一方面还应该具备较高水平的外语能力。 二、西南财经大学考博英语题型 Part1:词汇,30题15分 Part2:阅读理解,四篇20题40分 Part3:短文翻译,英译汉15分汉译英15分 Part4:作文,15分 三、考博英语必备参考书 育明考博教研部主编,河北大学出版社出版的《考博英语真题解析》和《考博词汇》是考博人必备的两本书。在当当网,亚马逊和全国各大书店均有销售,也可以联系我们直接购买。 四、联系导师 在初步定好考博学校之后,就要和所报考院校中意的老师取得联系,询问是否有招生名额,能否报考,这是我们考博成功的关键第一步。 大多数考生会在九月中下旬与导师取得联系。因为太早,学校里面直博名额什么的还没有确定,报考的导师也不清楚是否有名额;太晚的话,怕别的学生比你早联系就不好了。一般情况下,导师对一个学生很中意的话,后来联系的学生,导师一般也不会答应其报考了。在此说点题外话,联系导师的过程中,如果读研期间的导师有关系,可以尽量利用。如果没有,也没关系,凭着自己的本事也是可以和考博导师很好的沟通的,这就要看自己了。 通常跟导师初次联系,都是发邮件。导师回复邮件的情况一般有几种: (1)、欢迎报考。这种答复最笼统,说明不了问题。我们可以接着努力和老师多沟通,看看具体的进展,避免出现初试之后却没有名额的情况。 (2)、名额有限,可以报考,但有竞争。很多人说这样的回复不满意,认为希望很小一般会被刷。其实这样还是比较好的一种回答,最起码导师没有骗你而且给你机会去证明自己,考的好就可以上。

《考博英语阅读理解150篇详解》(医学保健类 肺癌)【圣才出品】

Passage10肺癌 Among all the malignancies,lung cancer is the biggest killer;more than 100,000Americans die of the disease,giving up smoking is one of obvious ways to reduce the risk,but another answer may lie in the kitchen.According to a new report,even heavy smokers may be protected from developing lung cancer by eating a daily portion of carrots,spinach or any other vegetable or fruit containing a form of vitamin A called carotene. The finding,published in The Lancet,is part of a long-range investigation of diet and disease.Since1957,some American researchers have monitored the dietary habits and medical histories of2,000middle-aged men employed by the Western Electric Co.in Chicago.Led by Dr.Richard Shekelle of St.Luke’s Medical Center,and the researchers recently began to sort out the links between the subjects’dietary patterns and cancer.Other studies of animals and humans have suggested that vitamin A offers some protection against lung cancer.The correlation seemed logical,explains Shekelle,since vitamin A is essential for the growth of the epithelial(上皮的)tissue that lines the airways of the lungs. But the earlier research did not distinguish between the two different forms of the vitamin.“Preformed”vitamin A,known as retinol,is found mainly in liver and dairy products like milk,cheese,butter and eggs.But vitamin A is also made in the body from carotene,which is abundant in a variety of vegetables and fruits, including carrots,spinach,squash,tomatoes,sweet potatoes and apples.

考博心得之考博英语阅读理解

考博心得之考博英语阅读理解 阅读理解在大家看来,是英语考试中最关键的部分,因为这部分所占的分数最多,在试卷中的地位举足轻重。有很多方面的书籍,介绍大家如何来提高阅读理解水平,却很少提到不同类别的英语考试试卷中,都有自己的出题特点。其结果是,大凡英语考试,大家都采用几乎一样的思考模式,这在相当程度上影响了具体类别考试复习时的针对性。 首先,介绍如何提高阅读理解的基本功 很多参考书中(推荐一本考博英语阅读理解精练220篇(上下册))。都提到在阅读时,不能读出声来,要快速的阅读。要达到这个水平需要相当的训练,可惜的是大部分考生由于各种原因,没有这样的条件。根据个人的体会,阅读中,碰到的最大问题往往不是理解不了其中内容,经常让人头痛的是阅读过程中,会在一些关键地方碰到自己不认识的单词,大大影响了自己对文章的领悟。所以第一个基本功还是词汇部分,我们不需要把大纲中所有的词汇(考博英语10000词汇详解)都会拼写,因为除了写作之外,会认某个词与会写某个词没区别,即使是写作,用到的词也都是常见的。 学会用自己的呼吸来控制自己的阅读,进而提高阅读速度。这点可能不少朋友没有听说过吧,对,这是我自己体会后总结出来的。针对一个句子,大家要学着在吸气的过程中,看明白前半部分的意思,而在呼气的过程中,看明白后一半的内容。开始训练时,大部分人达不到这个要求,没关系,重新吸气,呼气,直到这个句子看懂。选择的文章不要太难,但也不能过于简单,仔细体会这个过程。 我比较推荐的一个方法是:充分利用选择填空题目,在要填空的位置上,先写上正确的答案,然后尝试着在一个呼吸过程中看懂它所表述的意思。这不仅将来能提高选择填空的阅读速度,也提高了语感。当训练的差不多后,可以转入阅读文章了,把呼吸和大脑的思维连贯性统一起来。 其次,阅读理解过程中,需要从头读到尾吗? 这个问题,我也曾经问了自己很多次。经过尝试后,我总结的经验是没必要。说起来大家可能不相信,我觉得阅读理解,如其说是阅读,不如说是把文章的内容结构搞懂:这篇阅读理解分了几个段落?每个段落中最重要的那个主旨句要表达的是什么意思?文章作者是以什么口气、什么态度来看待自己文章所描述的内容的?实际就是从宏观上把握作者的意图 全面阅读有什么不?第一个就是浪费时间,考试中的时间是最宝贵的,如果费了不少时间读懂了文章的某些内容(即使是比较重要的),可偏巧这在后边的题目中又没有体现出来,不就是浪费时间和精力吗?第二就是使得人容易忘记其他部分的内容,当我们看第一段的时候,看明白它的内容了,可当你把最后一段也看懂之,第一段的内容你还能记得多少呢?这个问题在阅读理解进行到第三篇,第四篇的时候尤其突出,以至于头晕脑胀。相信很多人有这个感觉,英语考试过程中,觉得自己脑力不够用,或者考试结束后有朦胧的倦意。这对后边题目的完成绝对是个巨大威胁。第三就是缺乏对整个文章的理解,由于在全面阅读过程中,人的精力集中在具体句子的理解上,冲淡了整体的认识,而几乎每个阅读理解后的题目中,总少不了1个或2个关于文章整体概括性的题目,稍有偏差,就会出错。

考博英语阅读100篇,含答案

考博英语阅读资料100篇 Unit One Passage 1 The physical distribution of products has two primary aspects: transportation and storage. Both aspects are highly developed and specialized phases of marketing. The costs of both trans-porting and storing are built into the prices of products. Transportation can be by truck, rail- way, ship, or barge. For some items, such as exotic plants and flowers, or when rapid delivery is essential, air freight may be used. Storage, or warehousing, is a necessary function because production and consumption of goods rarely match: items generally are not sold as quickly as they are made. Inventories build up, both in warehouses and at retail establishments, before the foods are sold. The transporta-tion function is involved in bringing goods to a warehouse and taking them from it to retail stores. Storage performs the service of stabilizing market price. If, for example, no agricultural product could be stored, all food would have to be put on the market immediately. This would, of course, create a glut and lower prices drastically. There would be an immediate benefit to consumers, but in the long run they would suffer. Farmers, because of low prices, would be forced off the land, and the amount of food produced would decrease. This, in turn, would raise consumer prices. Warehouses for storage are of several types. Private warehouses are owned by manufactur-ers. Public warehouses, in spite of their name, are privately owned facilities, but they are in-dependent of manufacturer ownership. General-merchandise warehouses store a great variety of products. Cold-storage warehouses store perishable goods, especially food products. Grain ele-vators are a kind of warehouse used to keep wheat and other grains from spoiling. A bonded warehouse is one that stores foods, frequently imported, on which taxes must be paid before they are sold. Cigarettes and alcoholic beverages are common examples. The distribution center is a more recently developed kind of warehouse. Many large com- panics have several manufacturing plants, sometimes located outside the country. Each plant does not make every company product but specializes in one or more of them. The distribution center allows a manufacturer to bring together all product lines in one place. Its purpose is to minimize storage and to ease the flow of goods from manufacturers to retailers rather than build up extensive inventories. It reduces costs by speeding up product turnover. V ery large corporations will have several distribution centers regionally or internationally based 1. The main subject of this passage is______. A) transportation and storage B) storage of products C) distribution center D) two main aspects of product distribution 2. Warehousing is important in that _ A) inventories build up before the goods are sold B) the prices will go down C) more goods are produced than can be consumed D) the food has to be put on the market immediately 3. How many types of warehouses for storage are discussed in the passage?

考博英语阅读理解模拟练习及解析(5)

考博英语阅读理解模拟练习及解析(5) Real policemen,both Britain and the United States hardly recognize any resemblance between their lives and what they see on TV-if they ever get home in time.There are similarities,of course,but the cops don't think much of them. The first difference is that a policeman's real life revolves round the law. Most of his training is in criminal law.He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court.He has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer,and what is more,he has to apply it on his feet,in the dark and rain,running down an alley after someone he has to talk to. Little of his time is spent in chatting to scantily clad ladies or in dramatic confrontations with desperate criminal.He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad,unimportant people who are guilty-or not-of stupid,petty crimes. Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal;as soon as he's arrested,the story is over.In real life,finding criminals is seldom much of a problem.Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks-where failure to produce results reflects on the standing of the police-little effort is spent on searching.The police have an elaborate machinery which eventually shows up most wanted men. Having made an arrest,a detective really starts to work.He has to prove his case in court and to do that he often has to gather a lot of different evidence. Much of this has to be given by people who don't want to get involved in a court case.So as well as being overworked,a detective has to be out at all hours of the day and night interviewing his witnesses and persuading them,usually against their own best interests,to help him. A third big difference between the drama detective and the real one is the unpleasant moral twilight in which the real one lives.Detectives are subject to two opposing pressures:first as members of a police force they always have to behave with absolute legality,secondly,as expensive public servants they have to get results.They can hardly ever do both.Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways. If the detective has to deceive the world,the world often deceives him.Hardly anyone he meets tells him the truth.And this separation the detective feels between himself and the rest of the world is deepened by the simple mindedness-as he sees it-of citizens,social workers,doctors,law makers,and judges,who,instead of stamping out crime punish the criminals less severely in the hope that this will make them reform.The result,detectives feel,is that nine tenths of their work is reaching people who should have stayed behind bars.This makes them rather cynical. 1.It is essential for a policeman to be trained in criminal law________.
