Few peple enjyed getting shts at the dctr's ffice. But many f these shts are imprtant vaccines (疫苗) that help prevent us frm getting certain diseases r types f infectin.
Vaccines gt their start in Eurpe in the 1720s, when a British wman named Lady Mary Wrtley Mntagu was visiting Turkey.

Sme years later, a scientist named Edward Jenner discvered that peple wh had been infected with a disease called cwpx became resistant t smallpx. Cwpx was less much harmful than smallpx.

【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了疫苗出现使用的历史经过。十七世纪二十年代，蒙塔古女士把注射疫苗这种方法带到英国。几年后爱德华·詹纳发现牛痘和天花的联系——感染过牛痘的人对天花有抗体。法国科学家路易斯·巴斯德利用这个想法使得疫苗的使用变得更广泛。
（1）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Vaccines gt their start in Eurpe in the 1720s, when a British wman named Lady Mary Wrtley Mntagu was visiting Turkey. She saw Turkish dctrs purpsefully inculating (接种) peple with small amunts f smallpx.”十七世纪二十年代在欧洲就开始使用疫苗了。当名叫玛丽·沃利·蒙塔古的女士游览土耳其时，她看到土耳其医生有目的地给人接种或者说感染少量的天花。可知土耳其医生最先使用疫苗。故选C。
（2）考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“Finally, a French scientist named Luis Pasteur realized that Jenner's idea culd be used t treat ther diseases. ”最终法国科学家路易斯·巴斯德意识到詹纳的想法可以用于治疗其他的疾病。故选D。
（3）考查主旨大意。纵观全文可知，本文介绍了从疫苗的最先使用，爱德华发现牛痘和天花的联系一直到巴斯德利用疫苗预防其他疾病。由此可推断本文以疫苗的发展为中心，故选A。
（4）考查推理判断。根据文中出现的“vaccines”疫苗； immune“免疫的”； “inculating”接种；“cwpx”牛痘；“smallpx”天花，等词都是和医学有关的词汇，由此可推断文章可能出现在报纸的医药版面。故选C。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解、主旨大意和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇医学类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。

【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如今医生对病人们过度治疗的问题，很多医生和病人都认为医疗保健越多越好，但是他们不知道治疗过度会给他们带来危害。并以Terrence Pwer夫妇被医生过度治疗为例说明了这一情况。
（1）考查主旨大意。根据第一段中的"But what they d nt realize is that vertreatment-t many scans，t many bld tests，t many prcedures-may bring harm. ”但是他们没有意识到过度治疗——太多的仪器扫描，太多的血液测试，太多的程序——可能会带来伤害。以及文章主要内容可知文章的主要观点是太多的医疗检查或护理对病人并无益处，故选C。
（2）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“The dctr insisted n ffice visits every three weeks, even when she was feeling well. He frequently rdered bld tests and X-rays，and repeatedly referred her t specialists fr even minr cmplaints. ”医生坚持让她每三个星期去一次办公室，即使她感觉很好。他经常要求对她进行血液检测和x光检查，并多次将她转诊给专家，即使是小毛病。可知文章即使Pwer夫人感觉很好，也要上医院检查；非常小的不适也需要不断地做血压检查，X光线；由此可知，Pwer夫人在接受治疗时遇到的问题是当她的检查结果良好时，医生仍然让她做检测。故选B。
（3）考查代词指代。根据第三段中的“It's a really hard thing t determine when they've crssed the line”很难断定他们是不是做的太过了。根据crssed the line"做得太过分；越界"可知此处的they指代的是医生。故选A。
（4）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“After several years f physical suffering and near financial ruin frm the medical csts, the cuple began questining the treatment after discussing with ther patients in nline supprt grups.”在经历了几年的身体折磨和几近破产的医疗费用后，这对夫妇在网上互助小组与其他病人讨论后，开始质疑这种治疗方法。可知，Pwer夫妇是在得知其他病人的治疗情况后才开始质疑Pwer夫人的治疗存在问题的。故选C。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，代词指代和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇社会现象类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

（3）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“ In the middle f the play, a yung man entered the theatre and walked slwly twards the President's bx. Opening the dr s quietly that n ne heard him, the man entered the bx. ”话剧演到一半时，一个年轻人走进剧院，慢慢走向总统包厢。他轻轻地打开门，没有人听到他的声音，这个人走进了包厢；，可知选A。
