Question

Researchers have announced（宣布）the result of two studies on the health effects of the drug aspirin（阿斯匹林）. One study shows aspirin can sharply reduce the chance that a healthy, older man will suffer from a heart attack（心臟病）.
　 The study offered two new results from earlier findings. It said taking one aspirin pill every other day helped only healthy men over the age of fifty. It also said aspirin gave the greatest protection against heart attacks to men with low blood cholesterol（膽固醇）levels.
　 Earlier in the United States began a major aspirin study in the early 1980s. It included 22,000 healthy men doctors. All were between the ages of fifty and eighty-four. Almost 11,000 of the doctors took a harmless（無害的）pill that contained no drug. The men did not know which kind of pill they were taking.
　 The doctors who took aspirin suffered 44% fewer heart attacks than those taking the harmless pill. 139 men who took aspirin suffered from heart attacks. Ten of them died. 239 men who did not take aspirin suffered from heart attacks. Twenty-six of them died.
The researchers said the doctors’ study provided clear proof（證據）that taking aspirin could prevent a first heart attack in healthy, older men. They said, however, the result did not mean every man over the age of fifty should take aspirin. They said aspirin couldn’t help men who did not eat healthy foods, who smoked cigarettes and who were fat. The researchers said men who thought they would be helped by taking aspirin should talk with their doctors first.

Answer 1

小題1:D
小題2:D
小題3:A
小題4:B

試題分析: 本文介紹了科學家對阿斯匹林的研究成果。實驗表明，阿斯匹林可以預防或削弱老年人患心臟病的危險，但實際的效果和服用者的飲食有一定的關系。研究人員說，服用可藥品要遵醫囑。
小題1:細節理解題. 短文首段的末句“…sharply reduce the chance that a healthy, older man will suffer from a heart attack.”即是本題答案的出處,即選D.
小題2:細節理解題.注意“…reduce the chance that a healthy, older man will suffer from a heart attack .”本句中的healthy, older這兩個詞，即可得出答案，即選D.
小題3:推理判斷題.文章最后一段是說，盡管的這種新用途對病人很有幫助，但患者在使用時必須格外小心，一定要嚴遵醫囑。可知應選A.
小題4:推理判斷題.根據“239 men who did not take aspirin suffer red from heart attacks. Twenty-six of them died.”一句 中的239和26這兩個數字即可算出。可知應選B.
