2015年雅思阅读模拟试题及答案解析五

new weapon to fight cancer

1. British scientists are preparing to launch trials of a radical new way to fight cancer， which kills tumours by infecting them with viruses like the common cold.

2. If successful， virus therapy could eventually form a third pillar alongside radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the standard arsenal against cancer， while avoiding some of the debilitating side-effects.

3. Leonard Seymour， a professor of gene therapy at Oxford University， who has been working on the virus therapy with colleagues in London and the US， will lead the trials later this year. Cancer Research UK said yesterday that it was excited by the potential of Prof Seymour's pioneering techniques.

4. One of the country's leading geneticists， Prof Seymour has been working with viruses that kill cancer cells directly， while avoiding harm to healthy tissue. "In principle， you've got something which could be many times more effective than regular chemotherapy，" he said.

5. Cancer-killing viruses exploit the fact that cancer cells suppress the body's local immune system. "If a cancer doesn't do that， the immune system wipes it out. If you can get a virus into a tumour， viruses find them a very good place to be because there's no immune system to stop them replicating. You can regard it as the cancer's Achilles' heel."

6. Only a small amount of the virus needs to get to the cancer. "They replicate，you get a million copies in each cell and the cell bursts and they infect the tumour cells adjacent and repeat the process，" said Prof Seymour.

7. Preliminary research on mice shows that the viruses work well on tumours resistant to standard cancer drugs. "It's an interesting possibility that they may have an advantage in killing drug-resistant tumours， which could be quite different to anything we've had before."

8. Researchers have known for some time that viruses can kill tumour cells and some aspects of the work have already been published in scientific journals. American scientists have previously injected viruses directly into tumours but this technique will not work if the cancer is inaccessible or has spread throughout the body.

9. Prof Seymour's innovative solution is to mask the virus from the body's immune system， effectively allowing the viruses to do what chemotherapy drugs do - spread through the blood and reach tumours wherever they are. The big hurdle has always been to find a way to deliver viruses to tumours via the bloodstream without the body's immune system destroying them on the way.

10. "What we've done is make chemical modifications to the virus to put a polymer coat around it - it's a stealth virus when you inject it，" he said.

11. After the stealth virus infects the tumour， it replicates， but the copies do not have the chemical modifications. If they escape from the tumour， the copies will be quickly recognised and mopped up by the body's immune system.

12. The therapy would be especially useful for secondary cancers， called metastases， which sometimes spread around the body after the first tumour appears. "There's an awful statistic of patients in the west ... with malignant cancers；75% of them go on to die from metastases，" said Prof Seymour.

13. Two viruses are likely to be examined in the first clinical trials：adenovirus， which normally causes a cold-like illness， and vaccinia， which causes cowpox and is also used in the vaccine against smallpox. For safety reasons， both will be disabled to make them less pathogenic in the trial， but Prof Seymour said he eventually hopes to use natural viruses.

14. The first trials will use uncoated adenovirus and vaccinia and will be delivered locally to liver tumours， in order to establish whether the treatment is safe in humans and what dose of virus will be needed. Several more years of trials will be needed， eventually also on the polymer-coated viruses， before the therapy can be considered for use in the NHS. Though the approach will be examined at first

for cancers that do not respond to conventional treatments， Prof Seymour hopes that one day it might be applied to all cancers.

Questions 1-6 Do the following statements agree with the information given in the reading passage？ For questions 1-6 write

TRUE if the statement agrees with the information

FALSE if the statement contradicts the information

NOT GIVEN if there is no information on this in the passage

1.Virus therapy， if successful， has an advantage in eliminating side-effects.

2.Cancer Research UK is quite hopeful about Professor Seymour’s work on the virus therapy.

3.Virus can kill cancer cells and stop them from growing again.

4.Cancer’s Achilles’ heel refers to the fact that virus may stay safely in

a tumor and replicate.

5.To infect the cancer cells， a good deal of viruses should be injected into the tumor.

6.Researches on animals indicate that virus could be used as a new way to treat drug-resistant tumors.

The Analysis and Solution of Cambridge IELTS （4、5、6、7） 环球雅思温亮明 IELTS Reading（剑4. 5. 6. 7） 第1章IELTS中关于阅读文章中是非判断题分析 是非题中关于“only”题的总结（共11题，8F, 2NG , 1T） 总结：剑4、5、6中共有“only”题（是非判断）7小题，5题F，2题NG，剑7中共有“only”题（是非判断）4小题3F，1T。F机率远大于NG及T 是非题中关于比较级的总结（共24题，5F, 12NG, 7T） 剑7中比较级考点（是非判断）共计4小题1F，2NG，1T 剑4.5.6比较级考点（是非判断）共计20小题，6T，10NG，4F 总结：NG＞T＞F 是非判断题中同级比较（the same …as…）(…as well as…)的总结 剑4.5.6共计the same …as题4道2T，1NG，1F 剑7共计2题同级比较，1T，1 F 总结: 剑4.5.6.7 阅读真题中同级比较考点无规律可循 剑桥IELTS阅读文章中是非判断题解决方法 1、是非判断题的出题顺序与其在原文中定位句（处）的顺序是一致的，所以做此类题时必须有方向感，即Q1题在文中定位要在Q2前边，Q2题在原文中定位句要在Q3原文定位处前边……例如：剑5，P23，T1P2Q26 题目中独特定位词为sociobiology，在和中都出现了，第一次出现是在Q25题原文定位处的前面，第二次出现在Q25题原文定位处的后面，因为Q25与Q26两题具有顺序性，所以Q26题的答案应在原文Q25题原文定位处的后面的中定位，而不是在Q25题原文定位处的前面的找答案。 注意：此规律内容并非绝对，但基本成立。 2、剑桥IELTS是非判断题基本上是考查原文中连续段落，即几个是非判断题在原文中的定位处是几个连续顺序的段落，或这些是非判断题集中于原文某一个或某两个段落，但无论是何情形，定位处（句）仍旧是按顺序的。注意：此规律并非绝对，定位处的连续性基本上正确。 3、据考证是非题干中划线的定位词在文中的定位基本上是首次出现时进行定位划线，个别时候，在二次出现时定位，极个别时正确答案在三次以上原文出现时定位。 4、IELTS文章的题目，除List of Headings考段落、Sections主题，或文章后边一个单个选择题考整篇文章title之外，几乎所有阅读文章题目都是针对整篇文章的不同信息点设置的，每个题目所考内容只是整个文章中的一个信息点，而整篇文章是由多个信息点构成的一个层面，考试时间有限，考生使用的答题时间有限，IELTS考官设置试题时必须给予考生一定的解题线索，没有解题线索，此考题出题失败，而每个是非题目中的定位词（关键信息词）就是考生在原文中找到出题点的钥匙，所以把题干中的定位词（题干信息点）确定之后，找其在原文的重复出现或找其在原文中的同义替换，就可以确定本题在文章中的定位处（出题句），题目中的考点词与定位词同处于一道题目中，考点词与定位词之间肯定存在某种逻辑关系，基本上在文中找到定位句后（通过题干中定位词找在文中的对应定位词），就可以在定位句找到与题目中考点词有密切关系的答案信息，这是解决是非判断题最科学有效的方法,切记雅思所有题目实质上就是找题目信息点与原文信息点的逻辑对应。

雅思阅读信号词的特征

雅思阅读信号词的特征 雅思A类阅读文章共有三篇，总共要回答40个问题，每篇文章长度在1200-1500个单词不等，所以1个小时内要完成所有的答题，时间还是比较紧的，因此如何在短时间内高效准确地找出答案，则是大家非常关心的问题。其实，雅思阅读考察的是学生定位和同义词替换的能力。那么如何利用题目中的定位词去文章定位，成为了解题的关键。接下来，和津桥小编一起来看看如何正确的判断定位词。 雅思阅读定位词分类： 一般来说，定位词可分为特殊定位词和普通定位词。 在雅思阅读中有一些词长的比较特殊，这种词很容易被记住，也很容易回原文定位。具有这类特殊性的词，我们称为特殊定位词。一般来说，特殊定位词主要有以下几类：人名、地名、数字、时间、大写字母、特殊印刷体和特殊标点符号等。因为这些词在文章中比较醒目，所以可以在短时间内进行准确定位，精读定位词所在及其附近的句子即可回答相关问题。例如C6T2P1的是非无判断题，TheISTP study examined public and private systems in every city of the world. ISTP这个词就是特殊定位词，可以很快定位到文中第一段。 但是值得考生注意的是，以数字和时间进行定位时需要小心，因为有可能他们正是该题的考察点，所以在以数字和事件为定位词的时候，需再伴随另一个定位词。例如C6T2P3里的33题，IndigenousTasmanians used only four terms to indicate numbers of objects. 一些学生以数字four作为定位词去定位，无果而返。其实这道题的考察点就是数字，所以，定位这道题时咱们需再划出一个关键词也就是IndigenousTasmanians. 雅思阅读定位词特征： 相信很多考生都有感触，特殊定位词出现的概率并不是很大。当题目中没有特别明显的特殊定位词时，如何能快速有效地找到文章的对应点，成为一大难题。在解决问题前，大家先设想一下，英语中哪种词性的单词变化形式最少，相比而言，名词的变化最少，所以，名词可作为定位词，但是满足定位词还需要以下特征： 1. 该词不能是文章的主题词。设想下，如果这个词是文章要谈论的重点，它在文章中出现的频率将会非常大，拿这个词去定位，效果肯定不理想。定位词的最大优势就是可以缩小阅读范围，如果我们定位了一个在文章中处处可能出现的词语，那就失去了定位的意义。例如C8T3P1的12题，Obtainingmoney to improve the lasers will depend on tests in real storms. laser 这个词就不能作为一个定位词，因为它在文章标题中出现，是整篇文章讨论的中心。 2. 在一种题型内反复出现的词不可以作为定位词。例如C4T3P2的list ofheading题中， 所有备选的list中都有volcano这个词，那么以这个词去定位肯定又是无功而返。

Next Year Marks the EU's 50th Anniversary of the Treaty A. After a period of introversion and stunned self-disbelief，continental European governments will recover their enthusiasm for pan-European institution-building in . Whether the European public will welcome a return to what voters in two countries had rejected so short a time before is another matter. B. There are several reasons for Europe’s recovering self-confidence. For years European economies had been lagging dismally behind America (to say nothing of Asia)， but in the large continental economies had one of their best years for a decade， briefly outstripping America in terms of growth. Since politics often reacts to economic change with a lag，’s improvement in economic growth will have its impact in ， though the recovery may be ebbing by then. C. The coming year also marks a particular point in a political cycle so regular that it almost seems to amount to a natural law. Every four or five years， European countries take a large stride towards further integration by signing a new treaty： the Maastricht treaty in 1992， the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1997， the Treaty of Nice in . And in they were supposed to ratify a European constitution， laying the ground for yet more integration—until the calm rhythm was rudely shattered by French and Dutch voters. But the political impetus to sign something every four or five years has only been interrupted，not immobilised， by this setback. D. In the European Union marks the 50th anniversary of another treaty—the Treaty of Rome， its founding charter. Government leaders have already agreed to celebrate it ceremoniously， restating their commitment to “ever closer union” and the basic ideals of European unity. By itself， and in normal circumstances， the EU’s 50th-birthday greeting to itself would be fairly meaningless， a routine expression of European good fellowship. But it does not take a Machiavelli to spot that once governments have signed the declaration (and it seems unlikely anyone would be so uncollegiate as to veto

Nature or Nurture? A few years ago, in one of the most fascinating and disturbing experiments in behavioural psychology, Stanley Milgram of Yale University tested 40 subjects from all walks of life for their willingness to obey instructions given by a 'leader' in a situation in which the subjects might feel a personal distaste for the actions they were called upon to perform. Specifically, Milgram told each volunteer 'teacher-subject' that the experiment was in the noble cause of education, and was designed to test whether or not punishing pupils for their mistakes would have a positive effect on the pupils' ability to learn. Milgram's experimental set-up involved placing the teacher-subject before a panel of thirty switches with labels ranging from '15 vols of electricity (slight shock)' to '450 volts (danger - severe shock)' in steps of 15 volts each. The teacher-subject was told that whenever the pupil gave the wrong answer to a question, a shock was to be administered, beginning at the lowest level and increasing in severity with each successive wrong answer. The supposed 'pupil' was in reality an actor hired by Milgram to simulate receiving the shocks by emitting a spectrum of groans, screams and writhings together with an assortment of statements and expletives denouncing both the experiment and the experimenter. Milgram told the teacher-subject to ignore the reactions of the pupil, and to administer whatever level of shock was called for, as per the rule governing the experimental situation of the moment. As the experiment unfolded, the pupil would deliberately give the wrong answers to questions posed by the teacher, thereby bringing on various electrical punishments, even up to the danger level of 300 volts and beyond. Many of the teacher-subjects balked at administering the higher levels of punishment, and turned to Milgram with questioning looks and/or complaints about continuing the experiment. In these situations, Milgram calmly explained that the teacher-subject was to ignore the pupil's cries for mercy and carry on with the experiment. If the subject was still reluctant to proceed, Milgram said that it was important for the sake of the experiment that the procedure be followed through to the end. His final argument was, 'You have no other choice. You must go on.' What Milgram was trying to discover was the number of teacher-subjects who would be willing to administer the highest levels of shock, even in the face of strong personal and moral revulsion against the rules and conditions of the experiment.

Selling Digital Music without Copy-protection Makes Sense A. It was uncharacteristically low-key for the industry’s greatest showman. But the essay published this week by Steve Jobs， the boss of Apple，on his firm’s website under the unassuming title “Thoughts on Music” has nonetheless provoked a vigorous debate about the future of digital music，which Apple dominates with its iPod music-player and iTunes music-store. At issue is “digital rights management” (DRM)—the technology guarding downloaded music against theft. Since there is no common standard for DRM， it also has the side-effect that songs purchased for one type of music-player may not work on another. Apple’s DRM system， called FairPlay， is the most widespread. So it came as a surprise when Mr. Jobs called for DRM for digital music to be abolished. B. This is a change of tack for Apple. It has come under fire from European regulators who claim that its refusal to license FairPlay to other firms has “locked in” customers. Since music from the iTunes store cannot be played on non-iPod music-players (at least not without a lot of fiddling)， any iTunes buyer will be deterred from switching to a device made by a rival firm， such as Sony or Microsoft. When French lawmakers drafted a bill last year compelling Apple to open up FairPlay to rivals， the company warned of “state-sponsored piracy”. Only DRM， it implied， could keep the pirates at bay. C. This week Mr. Jobs gave another explanation for his former defence of DRM： the record companies made him do it. They would make their music available to the iTunes store only if Apple agreed to protect it using DRM. They can still withdraw their catalogues if the DRM system is compromised. Apple cannot license FairPlay to others， says Mr Jobs， because it would depend on them to produce security fixes promptly. All DRM does is restrict consumer choice and provide a barrier to entry， says Mr Jobs； without it there would be far more stores and players， and far more innovation. So， he suggests， why not do away with DRM and sell music unprotected？“This is

雅思经典阅读Visual Symbols and the Blind(含题目及解题思路)

Visual Symbols and the Blind Part 1 From a number of recent studies, it has become clear that blind people can appreciate the use of outlines and perspectives to describe the arrangement of objects and other surfaces in space. But pictures are more than literal representations. This fact was drawn to my attention dramatically when a blind woman in one of my investigations decided on her own initiative to draw a wheel as it was spinning. To show this motion, she traced a curve inside the circle (Fig. 1). I was taken aback. Lines of motion, such as the one she used, are a very recent invention in the history of illustration. Indeed, as art scholar David Kunzle notes, Wilhelm Busch, a trend-setting nineteenth-century cartoonist, used virtually no motion lines in his popular figures until about 1877. When I asked several other blind study subjects to draw a spinning wheel, one particularly clever rendition appeared repeatedly: several subjects showed the wheel’s spokes as curved lines. When asked about these curves, they all described them as metaphorical ways of suggesting motion. Majority rule would argue that this device somehow indicated motion very well. But was it a better indicator than, say, broken or wavy lines – or any other kind of line, for that matter? The answer was not clear. So I decided to test whether various lines of motion were apt ways of showing movement or if they were merely idiosyncratic marks. Moreover, I wanted to discover whether there were differences in how the blind and the sighted interpreted lines of motion. To search out these answers, I created raised-line drawings of five different wheels, depicting spokes with lines that curved, bent, waved, dashed and extended beyond the perimeter of the wheel. I then asked eighteen blind volunteers to feel the wheels and assign one of the following motions to each wheel: wobbling, spinning fast, spinning steadily, jerking or braking. My control group consisted of eighteen sighted undergraduates from the University of Toronto. All but one of the blind subjects assigned distinctive motions to each wheel. Most guessed that the curved spokes indicated that the wheel was spinning steadily; the wavy spokes, they thought, suggested that the wheel was wobbling; and the bent spokes were taken as a sign that the wheel was jerking. Subjects assumed that spokes extending beyond the wheel’s perimeter signified that the wheel had its brakes on and that dashed spokes indicated the wheel was spinning quickly. In addition, the favoured description for the sighted was the favoured description for the blind in every instance. What is more, the consensus among the sighted was barely higher than that among the blind. Because motion devices are unfamiliar to the blind, the task I gave them involved some problem solving. Evidently, however, the blind not only figured out meanings for each line of motion, but as a group they generally came up with the same meaning at least as frequently as did sighted subjects.
