內容摘要： The failure of a high-profile cholesterol drug has thrown a spotlight on the complicated machinery that regulates cholesterol levels.★Why did a promising heart drug fail? Doomed drug highlights complications of meddling with cholesterol.1.The failure of a high-profile cholesterol drug has thrown a spotlight on the complicated machinery that regulates cholesterol levels.But many researchers remain confident that drugs to boost levels of 'good' cholesterol are still one of the most promising means to combat spiralling heart disease.2.Drug company Pfizer announced on 2 December that it was cancelling all clinical trials of torcetrapib, a drug designed to raise heart-protective high-density lipoproteins(HDLs).In a trial of 15000 patients, a safety board found that more people died or suffered cardiovascular problems after taking the drug plus a cholesterol-lowering statin than those in a control group who took the statin alone.3.The news came as a kick in the teeth to many cardiologists because earlier tests in animals and people suggested it would lower rates of cardiovascular disease.“There have been no red flags to my knowledge,” says John Chapman, a specialist in lipoproteins and atherosclerosis at the National Institute for Health and Medical Research(INSERM)in Paris who has also studied torcetrapib.“This cancellation came as a complete shock.” 4.Torcetrapib is one of the most advanced of a new breed of drugs designed to raise levels of HDLs, which ferry cholesterol out of artery-clogging plaques to the liver for removal from the body.Specifically, torcetrapib blocks a protein called cholesterol ester transfer protein(CETP), which normally transfers the cholesterol from high-density lipoproteins to low density, plaque-promoting ones.Statins, in contrast, mainly work by lowering the 'bad' low-density lipoproteins.Under pressure 5.Researchers are now trying to work out why and how the drug backfired, something that will not become clear until the clinical details are released by Pfizer.One hint lies in evidence from earlier trials that it slightly raises blood pressure in some patients.It was thought that this mild problem would be offset by the heart benefits of the drug.But it is possible that it actually proved fatal in some patients who already suffered high blood pressure.If blood pressure is the explanation, it would actually be good news for drug developers because it suggests that the problems are specific to this compound.Other prototype drugs that are being developed to block CETP work in a slightly different way and might not suffer the same downfall.6.But it is also possible that the whole idea of blocking CETP is flawed, says Moti Kashyap, who directs atherosclerosis research at the VA Medical Center in Long Beach, California.When HDLs excrete cholesterol in the liver, they actually rely on LDLs for part of this process.So inhibiting CETP, which prevents the transfer of cholesterol from HDL to LDL, might actually cause an abnormal and irreversible accumulation of cholesterol in the body.“You're blocking a physiologic mechanism to eliminate cholesterol and effectively constipating the pathway,” says Kashyap.Going up 7.Most researchers remain confident that elevating high density lipoproteins levels by one means or another is one of the best routes for helping heart disease patients.But HDLs are complex and not entirely understood.One approved drug, called niacin, is known to both raise HDL and reduce cardiovascular risk but also causes an unpleasant sensation of heat and tingling.Researchers are exploring whether they can bypass this side effect and whether niacin can lower disease risk more than statins alone.Scientists are also working on several other means to bump up high-density lipoproteins by, for example, introducing synthetic HDLs.“The only thing we know is dead in the water is torcetrapib, not the whole idea of raising HDL,” says Michael Miller, director of preventive cardiology at the University of Maryland Medical Center, Baltimore.(613 words nature)

Questions 1-7 This passage has 7 paragraphs 1-7.Choose the correct heading for each paragraph from the list of headings below.Write the correct number i-ix in boxes 1-7 on your answer sheet.List of Headings i.How does torcetrapib work? ii.Contradictory result prior to the current trial iii.One failure may possibly bring about future success iv.The failure doesn’t lead to total loss of confidence v.It is the right route to follow vi.Why it’s stopped

vii.They may combine and theoretically produce ideal result viii.What’s wrong with the drug

ix.It might be wrong at the first place

Example answer Paragraph 1 iv 1． Paragraph 2 vi 2． Paragraph 3 ii 3． Paragraph 4 vii 4． Paragraph 5 ix 5． Paragraph 6 viii 6． Paragraph 7 iv

Questions 7-13 Match torcetrapib，HDLs，statin and CETP with their functions（Questions 8-13）..Write the correct letter A, B, C or D in boxes 8-13 on your answer sheet.NB You may use any letter more than once.7．It has been administered to over 10,000 subjects in a clinical trial.8．It could help rid human body of cholesterol.9．Researchers are yet to find more about it.10.It was used to reduce the level of cholesterol.11.According to Kashyap, it might lead to unwanted result if it’s blocked.12.It produced contradictory results in different trials.13.It could inhibit LDLs.List of choices A.Torcetrapic B.HDLS C.Statin D.CETP(by Zhou Hong)

Suggested Answers and Explanations 1． vi 2． ii 3． vii 本段介紹了torcetrapib和statin的治病原理，但是同時短語“in contrast”與之前第二段后半段的內容呼應，暗示了這兩種藥在理論上能相輔相成，是理想的搭配。第一個選項無法涵蓋整段意義，故選擇i是錯誤的。4． iii 本段分析了可能導致torcetrapibl臨床試驗失敗的原因，后半段指出如果以上推測正確，那么未來的藥物可借鑒這個試驗，設法避免torcetrapib的缺陷，研制出有效的藥物。viii選項無法涵蓋后半段的意思。5． ix 見首句。6． v 7． A 見第二段。題目中administer一詞意為“用藥”，subject一詞為“實驗對象”之意。

8． B 見第四段“? to raise levels of HDLs, which ferry cholesterol out of artery-clogging plaques to the liver for removal from the body.”即HDLs的作用最終是將choleserol清除出人體：“? for removal from the body”。

9． B 見第四段“But HDLs are complex and not entirely understood.”

10．C 見第二段“? plus a cholesterol-lowering statin”，即statin是可以降低cholesterol的。

11． D 見第六段“So inhibiting CETP, ? might actually cause an abnormal and irreversible accumulation of cholesterol in the body.12． A 見第三段。

13． C 見第四段“Statins, in contrast, mainly work by lowering the 'bad' low-density lipoproteins.”

肥胖人士要減肥的話，必須要密切關注自己的飲食。最好的方法就是開始一項體重控制計劃。首先，與你的醫生討論這個問題，這是明智之舉。他可以建議每天你應該食用的卡路里的數量，他可以告訴你在節食的時候要注意運動。一個很好的方法就是慢慢地減肥，一次減少一兩磅就很多了。

用你熟悉的食物計劃你的三餐。這就意味著，你的節食計劃里應該包括那些你習慣了的、成為你通常飲食習慣一部分的食物。當你達到你希望的重量時，可以將一些簡單的食物添加到你的飲食中，以便你能保持你想要的體重。當你節食的時候，試著養成一個以后你還能保持的飲食習慣，從而可以維持你的理想體重。

節食時，要食用低卡路里的食物，不要吃如肥肉、油炸食品、糖果、蛋糕、奶油和軟飲料之類的東西。試著喝不帶糖和奶油的咖啡或茶。小點心可以是你食譜的一部分。例如，可以在正餐之間吃一片水果或者一份飯后剩下的簡單的甜點。

保持忙碌!這樣的話你將可以脫離你的食物。充分利用各種鍛煉的機會，只要有可能，就要盡量走路而不是開車。節食愉快!

終身人壽保險是一種永久保險保護，只要你支付保險費，它就可以保護你的整個一生，從你購買保險的那天開始直至你的死亡。

終身人壽保險是一個穩固的基礎。因為它向你的家庭和企業提供畢生的保護，因此，你可以在這個基礎之上建立長期的財政計劃。

終身人壽保險提供基本的保險保護，外加：抵押保護、房產維護、退休基金、福利捐贈、企業需求等。

人壽保險代理將會協助你確定，在你死亡以后，為了保護你的家人或者企業所需的保險金額。

通常在第一年之后，保險單就會開始增加現金價值。你的保單中的現金數量通常每年都會增長。這些資金可以用來購買房屋，投資孩子的教育，增加到退休收入中或者用于其他用途。你也可以讓它存在保險單中繼續增值。

終身人壽保險可以獲得紅利。紅利的分配是由每年召開的公司董事會決定的，它并不是有保障的。如果紅利應該得到償付，那么你可以選擇拿現金用它來購買更多的保險或者支付和減少你的保險費的方式把它要回。

如果你不幸死亡，我們公司會向你的受益人支付死亡撫恤金，它通常是保險面額外加任何可能的紅利。這些資金通常是由受益人享用的，它們都不需要付所得稅。

根據Carnegie Mellon大學的研究，網絡的使用似乎能造成人的心理健康水平下降。

歷時兩年的研究表明，即便是一周只上幾個小時網的人也比更不經常上網的人更多地體會到壞心情和孤獨感。研究者對這一結果大惑不解，因為這與他們所預料的情況完全相反。因為網絡能使人選擇信息并與他人交流，所以他們期望網絡比電視更能使社會和諧。

研究者推測，網絡的使用減少了可用于與家人及朋友相處的時間，這一事實可能是造成心理健康下降的原因。不見面而且無形的虛擬交流在心理滿足方面比不上真實對話，而且通過虛擬交流建立的關系更膚淺。另一個可能性是網絡使用者可以接觸更寬廣的世界反而對自己的生活感到不滿。

研究的發起人之一，英特爾心理學家Christine Riley說：“要記得有一點很重要：這并非技術的錯，而是人們怎樣利用它。它確實暗示出在如何設計技術應用和技術服務方面考慮社會因素的必要性。”

36.【答案精解】D。細節題。從第一句Internet use appears to cause a drop in psychological health，according to research at Carnegie Mellon University我們可以得出研究的結果是網絡造成人的心理健康下降。

37.【答案精解】B。細節題。從文章中第二段最后一句They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television可得出B為正確答 案。

38.【答案精解】C。判斷題。對照原文，只有選項C沒有被提及，其他三項在原文中都可找到。A項源自第二段最后一句，B項與第三段第二句相對應，D項源自第三段最后一句。

39.【答案精解】A。細節題。在文章中Christine Riley所說的話“It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology.”可以直接得出答案。

40.【答案精解】D。主旨題。文章的中心思想是網絡給人造成的壞心情及產生這一結果的原因，所以最佳標題是“網絡可能導致壞心情”。

When you find a house you like, you go to a bank.The bank will research you financial(金融的)history and decide if.they think you are a good risk.They will want to know what kind of job you have, what kind of salary you make, and how long you have had the job.They will also want to know how much money you have.In addition, the banks will require a down payment.Depending on which state you live in, the bank may require as much as 30% of the-price of the house as a down payment.The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to buy the house.Many people are never able to buy a house because they cannot save enough money for the down payment.41.What does a house mean in the United States?

A)It is a dream which many people can hardly realize.B)It is so expensive that many people cannot really buy them.C)It is the most important property that many people try to buy.D)It doesn't belong to people if they can't borrow money from the bank.42.If American people borrow money from the bank for 25 years, this means that the person who borrows

參考譯文

房子是大多數人將要購買的最昂貴的物品。很少有人自己有足夠的錢來購房，因而人們不得不從銀行貸款。從銀行借錢購房被稱為“作抵押”。銀行通常的借款期或抵押期可達25年。當前房價如此之高，以至人們的借款額高達50 000美元。換句話說，他們將有50 000美元的抵押款。

怎樣獲得抵押貸款呢?找到自己喜歡的房子后，到一家銀行去。銀行會審查你的金融紀錄，而后決定你是否是一個風險較小的人。他們要了解你的工作類型，薪水收入，以及工作年限。他們還要了解你有多少錢。此外，銀行還要求付首付款。根據所居住的不同的州，銀行可能要求房價的30%作為首付款，而后銀行將借給你購房所需的剩余部分款項。許多人因攢不到足夠的錢付首付款，從而就根本沒有能力購房。

答案及精解

41.【答案精解】C。細節題。從第一句A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy我們可以得知.房子是人們所要購置的最重要的財產。A、B兩項都提到買房子的不可能性，與文章中的抵押貸款從而購房相悖。D項過于絕對化，并不是所有的人都必須通銀行貸款才買得起房子。

42.【答案精解】A。細節題。從文章第一段The bank Usually lends money or gives a mortgage for twenty-five years得出銀行的借期是25年，是一準確的數字，而不是多于、少于或大約25年。

43.【答案精解】B。釋義題。從“down payment”的后一句話The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to buy the house可以推知“down payment”是在取得貸款之前自己先支付的那部分款項，即首付款。

44.【答案精解】D。細節題。題干詢問的是銀行查詢的內容，集中在文章第二段，可以用對比排除的方法得出答案。A、B、C三項文章都有提及，剩下的一項即為正確答案。

45.【答案精解】C。主旨題。文章第一段由購房展開，引出了在當前房價高的形勢下，人們購房所采用的方式——抵押貸款。并于第二段展開說明如何進行抵押貸款。故其主旨在于說明如何抵押貸款。所以文章標題可能是“如何獲得抵押貸款”。D項如何購房的標題太大了.超出了文章所覆蓋的范圍。
