Title | Overdosing on nothing (顺势疗法) |
Question types | Matching Headings 7题 TRUE/ FALSE/ NOT GIVEN 7题 |
文章内容回顾 | 1-7 Matching Headings 1. ix A段首句An international protest this week aims to demonstrate the truth about homeopathy-that there’s literally nothing in it, says Martin Robbins AT 10.23 am on 30 January, more than 300 activities in the UK, Canada, Australia and the US will take part in a mass homeopathic “overdose”. 2. v B段首句That such a protest is even necessary in 2010 is remarkable, but somehow the homeopathic industry has not only survived into the 21st century, but prospered(繁荣=booming). 3. i C段首句The discipline is based on three “laws”: The law of similar, the law of infinitesimals and the law of succession. 4. vii D段line8-10 “homeopathic remedies have consistently been shown to be no better than a placebo. Of course, the placebo effect is quite powerful” D段末尾..., homeopathic remedies have consistently been shown to be no better than a placebo. Of course, the placebo effect is quite powerful, but it's a bit like justifying building a car without any wheels on the basis that you can still enjoy the comfy leather seats and play with the gear shift. 5. iv E段倒数3-4行He defended Boot’s decision to sell homeopathic remedies on the grounds of consumer choice. 6. viii F段You might also argue that homeopathy is harmless: If people want to part with their money for sugar pills and nobody is breaking the law, why not let them? To some extent that’s true-there’s only so much damage you can do with sugar pills short of feeding them to a diabetic or dropping a large crate of them on some’s head. 7. iii G段第二句Homeopathy has many ways to sidestep awkward questions, such as rejecting the validity of randomized controlled trails, or claiming that homeopathic remedies only work if you have symptoms of the malady they purport to cure.
8-14 TRUE/ FALSE/ NOT GIVEN 8. TRUE A段The aim of the “10:23” campaign, led by Merseyside Skeptics Society, based in Liverpool, UK, is to raise public awareness of just exactly what homeopathy is, and to put pressure on the UK’s leading pharmacist, Boots, to remove the remedies from sale. The campaign is called 10:23 in honor of the Avogadro constant, of which more later. 9. FALSE B段第二句In the UK alone more than 40 million is spent annually on homeopathic treatments with 4million of this being sucked from the National Health Service budget.“每年有四千多万英镑花在顺势治疗上，其中四百万英镑来源于英国国民医疗保健预算。”题干说“英国国民医疗保健预算从顺势治疗上获得利润”。两者矛盾。所以False。 10. TRUE C段第二句The law of similar states that something which causes your symptoms will cure your symptoms, so that, for example, as caffeine keeps you awake, it can also be a cure for insomnia. 非常经典的出题，C段前几句按照顺势疗法倡导的“以毒攻毒similar” 理论，得出咖啡因应该是可以治疗失眠的；然而原文C段第4句，....of course... that makes little sense (这根本站不住脚)，因为喝咖啡只会让你保持清醒(不会治疗失眠) 11. TRUE F段倒数第2句However, we believe there is a risk in perpetuating the notion that homeopathy is equivalent to modern medicine. 12. FALSE E段第五行“I have no evidence before me to suggest that they are efficacious,” Bennet replied. 原文见E段第5行还是“有没有效”，PB回答“我没有证据，我只是尊重消费者的意愿提供者种药物”，原文说明PB也没有证据证明这个疗法有效，题干说PB说这个疗法有效，这就是矛盾。 13. FALSE F段末句People may delay seeking appropriate treatment for themselves or their children. 题干中的“mainly”和原文中的“may”矛盾。 14. NOT GIVEN |
题型难度分析 | 题目难度中等偏上 主要是出现heading段落主旨题 |
题型技巧分析 | 对于程度不错的同学建议先做heading题，有助于对整篇文章的了解。但是对于基础薄弱的同学，建议先做判断题。判断题主要注意定位关键词一一对应。heading要注意在段落中主旨句的选择。 判断题需要注意事项： 1.找出题目中的关键词，最好先定位到原文中的一个段落。将题目中的关键词与原文各段落的小标题或每段话的第一句相对照。有些题目能先定位到原文中的一个段落，这必将大大加快解题时间，并提高准确率。但并不是每个题目都能先定位到原文中的一个段落的。 2.从头到尾快速阅读该段落，根据题目中的其它关键词，在原文中找出与题目相关的一句或几句话。确定一个段落后，答案在该段落中的具体位置是未知的。所以，需要从头到尾快速阅读该段落，找出该段落中与题目相关的一句话或几句话，通常是一句话。 3.仔细阅读这一句话或几句话，根据第二大步中的原则和规律，确定正确答案。 4.要注意顺序性，即题目的顺序和原文的顺序基本一致。 |
