Ⅲ.阅读理解
体裁:议论文 话题:动物保护 时间:10分钟
Using animals to test drugs intended for humans is controversial.with critics arguing there are other ways to ensure new medicines are safe and effective.But the scientists who carry out the research say animal studies remain necessary.Statistics indicate that in the UK around three million mice are being used for research and tens of millions worldwide.
Despite the difference in appearances,the genetic similarities with humans are astonishing.The mouse genome(基因图谱) shares over 95% of its genes with humans.The animal acts as a“model”,genetically modified to develop a human disease.But the use of mice,like any animal,in research is criticized hy some.
Animal Defenders International(ADI) is one of the groups that campaigns for an end to the use of animals in research.“We would argue that it is extremely outdated,and not very good science for humans,”says Fleur Dawes,of ADI.Ms Dawes believes the suffering that the animals go through does not legalize their contribution to science and medicine for humans.“There is a big problem with that because there are huge differences between the species.And even though there are similarities with humans and mice,they react very differently to each other when experimented on.So what works in one animal is not an indication that that is how things work in other animals.”
However,Dr.Wells from Mary Lyon Centre(MLC) says they are constantly trying to perfect the process to reduce the suffering of mice.“If it's a procedure where you can anaesthetize(麻醉) the mice,then you do it to reduce their stress.And if there is an alternative(替代的) method that

doesn't involve mice,you are not legally and morally allowed to do the procedure.”
In many countries,including the UK,before trying a new drug on humans it has to be tested first on two different species.Mice are usually the first group of animals.But the ADI considers these are just rules that work as a protective net before a clinical trial is run.According to the United States' National Institutes of Health, nearly 18 million people are needed for human research.
If we reject animal research,are there alternatives?Dr Wells says:“There is a massive field developing on alternatives,and we are very supportive of that field and we always keep track of what is going on in that field,because maybe we can replace one of our models.”Those alternatives include chips on human organs to study their function,micro-dosing treatments in humans and computerized models.“Lots of people say that there is a computer now to model what it is going to happen in diseases,”Dr Wells adds.“But we still don't know enough to program those computers with sufficient knowledge to be able to model what's happening in every disease.”
Fleur Dawes agrees one alternative is not enough.But she says:“By combining the different alternatives,you can actually get a much better picture that is of much better relevance to humans.”
【语篇导读】 本文是一篇议论文。在动物身上进行新药尝试及其在动物身上进行药品实验的尝试是否可取?本文作者从客观的角度进行了分析。
1.The writer mentions animal tests at the beginning of the passage in order to ________.
A.introduce the necessity of testing drugs on mice
B.describe the significance of animal experiments in science
C.present the arguments about drug tests on animals
D.raise the awareness of protecting animals
解析 目的意图题。通过文章第一段第一句话Using animals to test drugs intended for humans is controversial, with critics arguing there are other ways to ensure new medicines are safe and effective.可知,文章开门见山,提出本文的论点,即:能否在动物身上进行新药尝试,因此本题答案为C。
答案 C
2.The word “model”(Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to ________.
A.medicine sample B.worthwhile example
C.experimental subject D.scientific pioneer
解析 词义猜测题。第二段阐述尽管在外表上,老鼠和人类大不相同,但是他们的基因图谱非常相近,因此老鼠是可以被用做实验对象的。由此可知划线词含义为:实验对象或研究目标。
答案 C
3.The fundamental reason why mice are used in drug tests is that ________.
A.the mouse genome is very close to humans'
B.scientists have no other alternatives to replace mice
C.mice are very easy and cheap to obtain
D.no people want to go through the suffering
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段The mouse genome shares over 95% of its genes with humans.可知,在老鼠身上进行新药尝试的原因在于老鼠与人类的图谱类似,因此本题答案为A。
答案 A
4.According to the passage,we can learn that ________.
A.more than 100 million mice per year are used worldwide for research
- 8 -
B.Ms.Dawes thinks it is cruel to do experiments on animals
C.computerized modes can completely replace animal experiments at the present stage
D.Dr.Wells is not in favor of other alternatives in drug tests in the future
解析 推理判断题。根据文章第三段可知ADI是一个强烈反对利用动物进行研究的组织,而文章又提到Ms Dawes是其成员之一,同时结合她所说的话可知,Ms Dawes反对利用动物进行试验,在动物身上进行实验是残酷的,因此本题答案为B。
答案 B
5.Which best describes the writer's attitude towards animal tests in the passage?
A.Sympathetic. B.Objective.
C.Negative. D.Approving.
解析 推理判断题。本文作者只是从客观的角度来阐述在动物身上进行新药尝试及其在动物身上进行药品实验的尝试是否可取?作者仅仅是引用他人观点,并没有表明自己的态度,因此本题答案为B。
答案 B
