Ⅵ.阅读理解
Should doctors ever lie to benefit their patient—to speed recovery or to cover the coming of death? In medicine as in law, government, and other lines of work, the requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed (变矮小)by greater needs: the need to protect form brutal news or to uphold a promise of secrecy; to advance the public interest.
What should doctors say, for example, to a 46-year-old man coming in for a routine physical checkup just before going on vacation with his family who, though he feels in perfect health, is found to have a form of cancer that will cause him to die within six months? Is it best to tell him the truth? If he asks, should the doctors reject that he is ill, or minimize the gravity of the illness? Should they at least hide the truth until after the family vacation?
Doctors face such choices often. At times, they see important reasons to lie for the patient's own sake; in their eyes, such lies sharply form self-serving ones. Studies show that most doctors sincerely believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition, and that informing them risks destroying their hope, so that they may recover more slowly, or deteriorate (恶化)faster, perhaps even commit suicide (自杀).
But other studies show that, contrary to the belief of many physicians; a great majority of patients do want to be told the truth, even about serious illness, and feel cheated when they learn that they have been misled. We are also learning that truthful information, humanely conveyed (传达), helps patients cope with illness: help them tolerate pain better, need less medicine, and even recover faster after surgery.
There is urgent need to debate this issue openly. Not only in medicine,but in other profession as well, practitioners may find themselves repeatedly in difficulty where serious consequences (后果) seem avoidable only through deception(欺骗). Yet the public has every reason to know professional deception, for such practices are peculiarly likely to become deeply rooted, to spread, and to trust. Neither in medicine, nor in law, government, or the social sciences can there be comfort in the old saying, “What you don't know can't hurt you.”
1.According to the author's opinion, lies ________.
A.can benefit the patients
B.can help the patients to recovery
C.can do nothing to the patients' illness
D.can not benefit the patients
答案:A 细节理解题。从文章倒数第二段最后几句可得知答案。
2.Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.Most of the doctors believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition.
B.The truthful information helps patients to deal with their illness.
C.There is a need to discuss whether to lie to the patients.
D.It is true that “What you don't know can't hurt you.”
答案:D 细节理解题。文章最后,作者认为“What you don't know can't hurt you.”这一说法不对。
3.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.There is an urgent need to debate this issue openly.
B.Neither in medicine, nor in law, government, the social sciences can there be comfort in the old saying. “What you don't know can't hurt you.”
C.The public has every reason to be aware of professional deception.
D.We need to discuss this issue in medicine, but not in other professions.
答案:A 主旨归纳题。第一句就是本段的主题句。
4.What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?
A.Deception is beneficial to patients.
B.Whether patients should be told the truth of their illness.
C.Whether patients really want to know the truth of their illness.
D.Who benefits from deception.
答案:B 主旨归纳题。通读全文可知,作者针对医生对病人隐瞒病情这一做法提出质疑:病人应不应该了解真相?了解真相对他们有没有好处?

The new season will highlight a two-year science program on“Sesame Street”called My World is Green & Growing. The show is broadcast on public television in the United States.

Ⅵ.阅读理解(2009·湖南)
People diet to look more attractive. Fish diet to avoid being beaten up, thrown out of their social group, and getting eaten as a result. That is the fascinating conclusion of the latest research into fish behavior by a team of Australian scientists.
The research team have discovered that subordinate fish voluntarily diet to avoid challenging their larger competitors. “In studying gobies we noticed that only the largest two individuals, a male and female, had breeding (繁殖) rights within the group,” explains Marian Wong. “All other group members are nonbreeding females, each being 5-10% smaller than its next largest competitor. We wanted to find out how they maintain this precise size separation.”
The reason for the size difference was easy to see. Once a subordinate fish grows to within 5-10% of the size of its larger competitor, it causes a fight which usually ends in the smaller goby being driven away from the group. More often than not, the_evicted_fish is then eaten up.
It appeared that the smaller fish were keeping themselves small in order to avoid challenging the boss fish. Whether they did so voluntarily, by restraining how much they ate, was not clear. The research team decided to do an experiment. They tried to fatten up some of the subordinate gobies to see what happened. To their surprise, the gobies simply refused the extra food they were offered, clearly preferring to remain small and avoid fights, over having a feast.
The discovery challenges the traditional scientific view of how boss individuals keep their position in a group. Previously it was thought that large individuals simply used their weight and size to threaten their subordinates and take more of the food for themselves, so keeping their competitors small.
While the habits of gobies may seem a little mysterious, Dr. Wong explains that understanding the relationships between boss and subordinate animals is important to understanding how hierarchical (等级的) societies remain stable.
The research has proved the fact that voluntary dieting is a habit far from exclusive to humans. “As yet, we lack a complete understanding of how widespread the voluntary reduction of food intake is in nature,” the researchers comment. “Data on human dieting suggests that, while humans generally diet to improve health or increase attractiveness, rarely does it improve long-term health and males regularly prefer females that are fatter than the females' own ideal.”
