第1题:
Question 25: When did the researchers begin to repair the function of the damage organs after pigs’ death?
【试题解析】题干为:在猪死后,研究人员什么时候开始修复受损器官的功能?由In the experiment, the researchers stopped the hearts of several pigs. After an hour, the animals were attached to a specialized machine, which pumped a kind of fluid through their bodies.(在实验中,研究人员让几头猪的心脏停止跳动。一个小时后,这些动物被连接到一个专门的机器上,机器将一种液体泵入它们的身体。)可知,猪死后一个小时,研究人员就开始进行相关的操作了。因此A选项“An hour later.(一个小时后)”正确。
第2题:
Question 26: What is the function of the fluid pumped through the pig’s body?
【试题解析】题干为:泵入猪体内的液体的作用是什么?由The fluid contains some blood and about 13 chemicals meant to support cell activity and decrease inflammation.(这种液体含有一些血液和大约13种化学物质,旨在支持细胞活动和减少炎症。)可知,这些液体的作用是支持细胞活动并减少炎症。因此A选项“To support cell activity.(支持细胞活动。)”正确。
第3题:
Question 27: How could the experimental technology benefit patients?
【试题解析】题干为:实验技术如何使患者受益?由The experimental technology is expected to help increase the number of organs available to patients who need organ transplants.(这项实验技术有望帮助需要器官移植的患者增加可用器官的数量。)可知,这项实验技术有望帮助需要器官移植的患者增加可用器官的数量。因此C选项“To help increase the number of organs available to patients who need organ transplants.(帮助需要器官移植的病人获得更多的器官。)”正确。
【听力原文】
Researchers say experiments on pig tissue suggest that tissue can be preserved and cells can regain the ability to work an hour after death. In the experiment, the researchers stopped the hearts of several pigs. After an hour, the animals were attached to a specialized machine, which pumped a kind of fluid through their bodies. The fluid contains some blood and about 13 chemicals meant to support cell activity and decrease inflammation. Six hours later, the treatment had reduced or canceled some of the organ damage that resulted from lack of oxygen. The results showed that when the heart stops, the body is not as dead as we previously assumed. The process of repairing cells began once circulation was brought back. The experimental technology is expected to help increase the number of organs available to patients who need organ transplants.
