2009年职称英语等级考试卫生AB级模拟试题(一)

　　Chronic(慢性的) diseases(疾病): the world’s leading killer
　　1.C. 答案：细节题。利用问题中的特征词“by 2015”和细节信息结构“people in developing countries” 作为答案线索， 在文章中查找答案相关句：
　　Chronic diseases are the leading cause of death in the world. Yet health experts say these conditions are often the most preventable. Chronic diseases include heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes and lung disorders.
　　(第2段)The World HEALTH organization says chronic diseases lead to about seventeen million early deaths each year. The United Nations(联合国) agency(机构)expects(预计) more than(比。。。多) three hundred eighty million(百万) people to die of(死于) chronic diseases by two thousand fifteen. It says about eighty percent of the deaths(死亡) will happen(发生) in developing countries.
　　借助答案相关句的内容可知：380 * 80% = 304百万人将死于慢性疾病。
　　2. D. 答案：B， D为有关系选项， 从中可能出答案。 利用问题句中的特征词China作为答案线索， 在文章中查找答案相关句：
　　(第4段)The WHO (世界健康组织)estimates(估计) that chronic diseases will cost(花费) China alone(独自地， 单独的) more than(比。。。多) five hundred million(百万) dollars in the next (下一个的)ten years. That estimate represents the costs of medical treatment and lost productivity. Russia(俄国) and India(印度) are also expected (预计)to face(面临) huge economic losses.
　　第4段最后一句提到“俄国和印度也被预计将面临巨大的经济损失”， 因此判断同一段落中提到的中国面临的问题也是巨大的经济损失。因此D是答案。
　　3.C. 答案：C选项涉及典型细节信息词，因此可以首先对这个选项进行判断。
　　(第3段)The WHO says chronic diseases now cause two-thirds of all deaths in the Asia- Pacific area. In ten years it could be almost three-fourths. People are getting sick in their most economically productive years. In fact(实际上), experts (专家)say chronic diseases are killing(杀死) more middle-aged people in poorer(更穷的) countries than in wealthier (更富有的)ones(代词， 指代国家). (与C不一致， 而且文章中的其他地方没有再提到“中年人”的情况， 因此判断C的内容在文章中没有呼应的内容)
　　The WHO estimates that chronic diseases will cost alone more than five hundred million dollars in the next ten years. That estimate represents the costs of medical treatment and lost productivity. Russia and India are also expected to face huge economic losses.
　　(第5段)Kim Hak-Su is the head of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific. Last week in Bangkok he presented a W.H.O. report on the problem. It(报告) says deaths from (由于。。。造成的死亡)chronic diseases have increased(增加) largely(大大地， 主要地) as the result of(作为。。。的结果) economic gains in many countries(国家).(与D一致)
　　4.答案：D。 可利用问题句中的特征词Asia和the Pacific作为答案线索， 在文章中查找答案相关句：
　　(第7段) Mister Kim said infectious(传染性的) and parasitic(寄生虫的) diseases have until recently been the main killers in Asia and the Pacific. But he says they are no longer the major cause of death in most countries.
　　根据答案相关句判断D是答案。
　　5.A. 利用被选项中的细节信息结构作为答案线索， 在文章中查找答案相关句：
　　(第8段)Health officials (健康官员)say as many as (与。。。一样多的， 多达)eighty percent of deaths from (因为。。造成的死亡)chronic diseases could be prevented(防止). They say (说)an important(重要的)tool(手段， 工具) for governments(政府) is to restrict (限制)the marketing(销售) alcohol and tobacco(烟草) to young people. Also(同样， 也), more programs(计划) are needed (需要)to urge(促进， 催促) healthy eating and more physical activity.
　　从答案相关句可以看出只有A(及时的医学治疗)没有提到。
