    正确答案：C
    58. [C]意为：医师为帮助生命垂危病人摆脱痛苦而采取的致死措施。 本题是一道词义题，但是解题更多的需要涉及到文章中心词，本文第一段从澳大利亚通过的一个关于安乐死法案的新闻入手，下文全部在讨论各界对该法案的反应，同时在文章最后作者以实例表明了自己对安乐死的观点，由此我们可以确定文章的中心是关于安乐死的。而考研文章的任何一道阅读题目的命制都是和文章中心紧密相连的。据此我们可以推断出答案为C。

    Hypertension Drugs Found to Cut Risk of Stroke
    Australian doctors declared Monday that a cocktail of simple antihypertensive drugs can lower the risk of patients suffering a repeat stroke by more than a third.This is the result of their research.The research, presented at a medical conference in Italy over the weekend,has been valued highly as a major breakthrough in stroke prevention.
    Strokes kill 5 million people a year,and more than 15 million suffer non-fatal strokes that often leave them with useless limbs,slurred speech and other serious disabilities.One in five stroke survivors goes on to have a second,often fatal,stroke within five years of the first.
    An international six-year study of 6,100 patients directed from Sydney University found that by taking two blood pressure-lowering drugs,the risk of secondary strokes can be reduced by up to 40 percent.Even taking one of the commonly available drugs can cut the risk by a third,the study said.The drugs are the diuretic indapamide ( 吲达帕胺）and the ACE inhibitor perindopril , better known by its brand name Cover- syl.The combination was effective even in patients who did not have high blood pressure,the researchers said.They even found that the risk of another stroke could be cut by three quarters among the one-in-ten pa- tients who had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage（出血）, the worst type of stroke , where there is direct bleeding into the brain.
    Stephen McMahon,who presented the research at the Milan congress of the European Society of Hypertension,said about 50 million people were alive who had suffered at least one stroke."If most of those patients were able to get access to this treatment,it would result in maybe the avoidance of half a million strokes a year,"the professor told Australia's ABC Radio.
    McMahon said doctors had long known that lowering the blood pressure of those with hypertension could help prevent strokes."What we have shown for the first time is that it does not really matter what your blood pressure is;if you have had a stroke,then lowering blood pressure will produce large benefits,to begin with-even for people whose blood pressure is average or below average,"he said.
    McMahon said the Milan gathering had heralded the research as a"major breakthrough in the care of patients with strokes-perhaps the biggest step forward that we have made in the last couple of decades."

    What patients among those who have a stroke will benefit greatly from taking blood pressure-lowering drugs?
    A:Those whose blood pressure is high.
    B:Those whose blood pressure is average.
    C:Those whose blood pressure is below average.
    D:All of the above.

    答案：D
    解析：
    由文章第二段最后一句“One in five stroke survivors goes on to have a second , often fatal,stroke within five years of the first.”可知，中风以后存活的病人中，有1/5的人在第一次中风后5年内会再次中风，而且常常是致命的。故C为正确答案。
    由文章第三段的内容可知，服用两种降压药中风复发的危险性可减少40%；单服一种药，其危险性降低1/3，即约33%。可见服用两种药比服用一种药可多减少大约7%，即大约1/14的危险性。
    第二段第一句说非致命的中风常造成病人四肢残废、语言含糊不清以及其他严重残疾。B、C、D三项均属于中风的后遗症（D项的面部麻痹属于严重残疾之一），而A项“习惯性失眠”则不应属于中风的后遗症。故A是正确答案。
    由文章第四段第二句“‘ If most of those patients were able to get access to this treatment , it would result in maybe the avoidance of half a million strokes a year,’”可知，如果大多数病人有机会进行这样治疗的话，每年就可以避免50万次中风的发生。故B为正确答案。
    由文章倒数第二段的内容可知，血压高低并不重要，只要你得了中风，降低血压就有很大益处，即使血压正常或低于正常值也是如此。故D为正确答案。

    Relieving the Pain

    "Exercise may be the best treatment of chronic pain,"say doctors at a new clinic for dealing with pain.
    "People with chronic pain need to stop lying around,go out more,and start exercising."The instinctive reac-
    tion to acute pain is to stop moving and to try to protect the source of pain.But it seems that this is often not
    productive,especially in the case of back pain.Back pain,after headaches and tiredness,has become the
    third most common reason for people to visit their doctors.Painful backs now account for millions of days off
    work.
    Lumbar（腰部的）pains are partly the price humans pay for taking their forelimbs off the ground , but
    they are made worse by a sedentary（久坐不动的）lifestyle. Lack of exercise slowly decreases the flexibility
    and strength of muscles,so that it is more difficult to take pressure off the site of pain.Exercise is essential.
    It releases endorphins（内啡肤）,the body's " feel-good " chemicals , which are natural painkillers. In fact,
    these are so important that researchers are now looking for drugs that can maintain a comfortable level of en-
    dorphins in the body.
    Most people who go to a family doctor complaining of pain are prescribed pain-killing drugs rather than
    exercise.Since finding the cause of backache is not so easy,doctors frequently do not know the precise cause
    of the discomfort,and as the pain continues,sufferers end up taking stronger doses or a series of different
    drugs."It's crazy,"says Dr. Brasseur,a therapist at the International Association for the Study of Pain.
    "Some of them are taking different drugs prescribed by different doctors.I've just seen a patient who was tak-
    ing two drugs which turned out to be the same thing under different names."
    A generation of new pain clinics now operates on the basis that drugs are best avoided.Once patients
    have undergone the initial physical and psychological check up,their medication is cut down as much as pos-
    sible.Taking patients off drugs also prepares them for physical activity.
    In some pain-relief clinics,patients begin the day with muscle contraction and relaxation exercises,fol-
    lowed by an hour on exercise bikes. Later in the day , they practice tai chi（太极）,self-defense , and deep
    thought. This compares with an average of two-and-a-half hours' physiotherapy（理疗）a week in a traditional
    hospital program."The idea is to strengthen and to increase long-lasting energy,flexibility,and confidence,"
    explains Bill Wiles,a consultant pain doctor in Liverpool."Patients undergoing this therapy get back to work
    and resume healthy active lifestyles much sooner than those subjected to more conservative treatment."

    Doctors often use drugs such as endorphins to treat patients.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案：B
    解析：
    短文第一段第二句说到有慢性病的人不应总躺着，要多出去走走，要开始运动。因此 该判断错误。
    短文第一段倒数第二句只说了人们经常因头痛去医院，但没有提到引起头痛的原因。

    "Exercise may be the best treatment of chronic pain,"say doctors at a new clinic for dealing with pain.
    "People with chronic pain need to stop lying around,go out more,and start exercising."The instinctive reac-
    tion to acute pain is to stop moving and to try to protect the source of pain.But it seems that this is often not
    productive,especially in the case of back pain.Back pain,after headaches and tiredness,has become the
    third most common reason for people to visit their doctors.Painful backs now account for millions of days off
    work.
    Lumbar（腰部的）pains are partly the price humans pay for taking their forelimbs off the ground , but
    they are made worse by a sedentary（久坐不动的）lifestyle. Lack of exercise slowly decreases the flexibility
    and strength of muscles,so that it is more difficult to take pressure off the site of pain.Exercise is essential.
    It releases endorphins（内啡肤）,the body's " feel-good " chemicals , which are natural painkillers. In fact,
    these are so important that researchers are now looking for drugs that can maintain a comfortable level of en-
    dorphins in the body.
    Most people who go to a family doctor complaining of pain are prescribed pain-killing drugs rather than
    exercise.Since finding the cause of backache is not so easy,doctors frequently do not know the precise cause
    of the discomfort,and as the pain continues,sufferers end up taking stronger doses or a series of different
    drugs."It's crazy,"says Dr. Brasseur,a therapist at the International Association for the Study of Pain.
    "Some of them are taking different drugs prescribed by different doctors.I've just seen a patient who was tak-
    ing two drugs which turned out to be the same thing under different names."
    A generation of new pain clinics now operates on the basis that drugs are best avoided.Once patients
    have undergone the initial physical and psychological check up,their medication is cut down as much as pos-
    sible.Taking patients off drugs also prepares them for physical activity.
    In some pain-relief clinics,patients begin the day with muscle contraction and relaxation exercises,fol-
    lowed by an hour on exercise bikes. Later in the day , they practice tai chi（太极）,self-defense , and deep
    thought. This compares with an average of two-and-a-half hours' physiotherapy（理疗）a week in a traditional
    hospital program."The idea is to strengthen and to increase long-lasting energy,flexibility,and confidence,"
    explains Bill Wiles,a consultant pain doctor in Liverpool."Patients undergoing this therapy get back to work
    and resume healthy active lifestyles much sooner than those subjected to more conservative treatment."

    Exercise helps pain sufferers to recover more quickly than traditional treatment.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案：C
    解析：
    短文第一段第二句说到有慢性病的人不应总躺着，要多出去走走，要开始运动。因此 该判断错误。
    短文第一段倒数第二句只说了人们经常因头痛去医院，但没有提到引起头痛的原因。
    短文第二段第二句说到缺乏锻炼使人们有疼痛的压力，相反，锻炼能减轻人们的疼痛。
    短文第二段最后一句提到医生正在寻找一种含有咖啡肤的药，而不是给病人们用这 种药。
    短文第三段第二句中的“taking stronger doses or a series of different drugs"，与“taking more than one drug”相对应。
    短文中并没有提到传统的治疗（traditional treatment)，故选C。
    短文第四段提到新的诊所提议尽量避免用药或尽量少用药而没有要求病人完全不 用药。

    Hypertension Drugs Found to Cut Risk of Stroke
    Australian doctors declared Monday that a cocktail of simple antihypertensive drugs can lower the risk of patients suffering a repeat stroke by more than a third.This is the result of their research.The research, presented at a medical conference in Italy over the weekend,has been valued highly as a major breakthrough in stroke prevention.
    Strokes kill 5 million people a year,and more than 15 million suffer non-fatal strokes that often leave them with useless limbs,slurred speech and other serious disabilities.One in five stroke survivors goes on to have a second,often fatal,stroke within five years of the first.
    An international six-year study of 6,100 patients directed from Sydney University found that by taking two blood pressure-lowering drugs,the risk of secondary strokes can be reduced by up to 40 percent.Even taking one of the commonly available drugs can cut the risk by a third,the study said.The drugs are the diuretic indapamide ( 吲达帕胺）and the ACE inhibitor perindopril , better known by its brand name Cover- syl.The combination was effective even in patients who did not have high blood pressure,the researchers said.They even found that the risk of another stroke could be cut by three quarters among the one-in-ten pa- tients who had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage（出血）, the worst type of stroke , where there is direct bleeding into the brain.
    Stephen McMahon,who presented the research at the Milan congress of the European Society of Hypertension,said about 50 million people were alive who had suffered at least one stroke."If most of those patients were able to get access to this treatment,it would result in maybe the avoidance of half a million strokes a year,"the professor told Australia's ABC Radio.
    McMahon said doctors had long known that lowering the blood pressure of those with hypertension could help prevent strokes."What we have shown for the first time is that it does not really matter what your blood pressure is;if you have had a stroke,then lowering blood pressure will produce large benefits,to begin with-even for people whose blood pressure is average or below average,"he said.
    McMahon said the Milan gathering had heralded the research as a"major breakthrough in the care of patients with strokes-perhaps the biggest step forward that we have made in the last couple of decades."

    Which of the following is NOT a symptom left by strokes?
    A:Habitual sleeplessness.
    B:Losing the function of one or more extremities.
    C:Speaking unclearly.
    D:Serious disabilities such as facial paralysis.

    答案：A
    解析：
    由文章第二段最后一句“One in five stroke survivors goes on to have a second , often fatal,stroke within five years of the first.”可知，中风以后存活的病人中，有1/5的人在第一次中风后5年内会再次中风，而且常常是致命的。故C为正确答案。
    由文章第三段的内容可知，服用两种降压药中风复发的危险性可减少40%；单服一种药，其危险性降低1/3，即约33%。可见服用两种药比服用一种药可多减少大约7%，即大约1/14的危险性。
    第二段第一句说非致命的中风常造成病人四肢残废、语言含糊不清以及其他严重残疾。B、C、D三项均属于中风的后遗症（D项的面部麻痹属于严重残疾之一），而A项“习惯性失眠”则不应属于中风的后遗症。故A是正确答案。
    由文章第四段第二句“‘ If most of those patients were able to get access to this treatment , it would result in maybe the avoidance of half a million strokes a year,’”可知，如果大多数病人有机会进行这样治疗的话，每年就可以避免50万次中风的发生。故B为正确答案。
    由文章倒数第二段的内容可知，血压高低并不重要，只要你得了中风，降低血压就有很大益处，即使血压正常或低于正常值也是如此。故D为正确答案。

    McMahon said the Milan gathering had heralded the research as a“major breakthrough in the care of patients with strokes—perhaps the biggest step forward that we have made in the last cou-ple of decades”.

    ______（46)
    A: A stroke can happen to anyone anyone at any moment.
    B:.Stephen McMahon,who presented the research at the Milan congress of the European Society of Hypertension,said about 50 million people were alive who had suffered at least one stroke.
    C: One in five stroke survivors goes on to have a second,often fatal,stroke within five years of the first.
    D: McMahon said doctors had long known that lowering the blood pressure of those with hy- pertension could help prevent strokes.
    E:.The research,presented at a medical conference in Italy over the weekend,has been valued highly as a major breakthrough in stroke prevention.
    F: The combination was effective even in patients who did not have high blood pressure,the researchers said.

    答案：E
    解析：
    空前面是一项研究的结果，说一种由简单抗高血压药品组成的合剂可以减轻中风患者三分之一以上的重复发作的危险。观察选项，E项（这项研究受到高度评价，誉为中风预防的重大突破。）最符合该空内容，其中The research指的就是空前提到的研究。


    该段介绍中风给人带来的危害，选项C（中风以后存活的病人五人中有一人在第一次中风后五年内会再次中风，而且常常是致命的。）在讲中风二次发作的情况，符合空中内容。


    该段讲述的是一项国际性研究，服用降压药降低继发中风的危险性。因此F项（研究者说这种合剂对没有高血压的患者同样有效。）是正确选项。


    空后面内容说，他对澳大利亚的ABC电台说道：“如果他们大多数能有机会接受这种治疗，每年就可以避免50万次中风的发生。”，显然B项（Stephen McMahon教授在这次欧洲出血症学会米兰会议上介绍了这项研究，他说，大约5000万活着的人经历过至少一次中风。）符合空处内容。


    该段是在讲述降低血压对于预防中风的作用，D项（McMahon说，医生早就知道，给高血压患者降低血压有助于预防中风。）也是在讲述这个关系，符合句意。
