Women of achievement*阅读理解。An apple a day keeps the doctor away is a popular saying in the United States. It may be a mon saying, but it is not scientifically confirmed. However, a new study adds to evidence that suggests taking a small amount of aspirin can help keep the doctor away.Peter Elwood is with Cardiff Universitys School of Medicine in Britain. Forty years ago, he was involved in the first study to explore the effects of aspirin on the prevention of heart disease. Elwoods team examined 47 studies for evidence that aspirin helped cancer patients. They found theres fairly consistent evidence of a 15 to 20 percent reduction in death and a reduction in cancers spread, by low dose(剂量) aspirin. By low dose, he means 81 milligrams. The study followed cancer patients for five years. Elwood says the evidence is strong that aspirin delays death among cancer patients.Elwoods team are excited to have this evidence from the study. Elwood adds that it is not a cure but a small sign of better things to e, what he calls a little hope and encouragement. If you asked me personally what I would do if doctors told me I had cancer, I would say I would have no hesitation in taking it. But I do not remend it to people. I want them to have the evidence and make their own decisions.The only major risk is that aspirin can cause stomach bleeding. But Elwood says it usually does not cause death. He adds that the evidence points to big health benefits of taking a daily aspirin. So, for some people, the pros might overweigh the cons.1. What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 1?A. Patients should eat apples.B. Apples are popular with Americans.C. Aspirin can be good for health.D. Doctors should use aspirin instead of apples.2. What does Elwood suggest people do?A. The less aspirin, the better.B. Dont delay in taking aspirin.C. Taking aspirin is a better way to cure cancer.D. Make decisions in the best interest of their own.3.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. Aspirin is the best cure for cancer.B. Taking aspirin wont kill in the long run.C. Taking aspirin does more good than harm.D. The side effect of taking aspirin is strong.【语篇解读】文章介绍每天服用少量的阿司匹林对健康有好处,可以延缓癌症病人的死亡。2.D【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第三段的句子Elwood可知,Elwood建议人们按照对自己有最大益处的方式做决定。故选D。3.C【解析】推理判断题。文章最后一段介绍服用阿司匹林会导致胃部出血,但是结合句子He adds that the evidence points to big health benefits of taking a daily aspirin.每天服用一点阿司匹林对健康有很大好处,可知,下文的the pros might overweigh the cons意为:服用阿司匹林的好处大于坏处,故选C。*语法填空。Our group Springhill Baptist Church started a food pantry (食品储藏室) to help out members of the munity.
