Section 9　 Reading Club (自修课) [课时检测] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Life－saving heart operation When Tal Golesworthy was told he needed life－saving heart operation in 1993, he said no.Golesworthy has Marfan syndrome (马凡氏综合征)． Back in 1993, when he was living in the west of England, his doctor told him that the aorta (主动脉) in his heart was so enlarged that it would unavoidable burst unless he underwent major operation. “They talked through the options，” says Golesworthy, “and I was not interested.The operation really didn't look attractive.” What he particularly didn't like was having to be on blood thinners after the operation, something that would prevent blood clots (血栓) but presented its own risks: “I was riding motorbikes then, and skiing, so my whole lifestyle would have been affected.” By 2000, however, his condition had worsened.Realizing something had to be done, Golesworthy put his years of experience as research — and — development engineer to good use.He decided he would fix himself.“Learning new stuff and developing new ideas, that was my job，” Golesworthy says. The aorta, he thought, needed support on the outside.And wrapping something around the outside of the aorta would require a special operation.So Golesworthy subjected himself to 30 hours in an MRI scanner; he used 3D printing to create a physical exact copy of the part of his heart.“Luckily, I'd done a lot of work with technical materials，” he says. Strong determination coupled with an original yet practical solution won him the support of two leading surgeons and helped him raise the money to develop his idea.In May 2004, at the age of 47, he became the_guinea_pig for his own invention.The operation was a success. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。Tal Golesworthy患有马凡氏综合征，在被告知需要做心脏手术以挽救自己的生命之后，他创新了一种手术方式，成功救治了自己。 1．Why did Tal Golesworthy refuse the operation at first? A．A better solution was on the way. B．He was afraid of life being affected. C．The risk of operation tended to cause death. D．He would like to be operated in his own way. 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“so my whole lifestyle would have been affected”可知，Tal Golesworthy一开始拒绝这个手术是因为他害怕生活会被影响。 2．What helped Golesworthy to fix himself? A．His creative spirit. B．Regular exercise. C．Doctors' suggestions. D．His similar experience. 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句可知，他的创新精神帮助他治好了自己。 3．What does the underlined part in the last paragraph “the guinea pig” refer to? A．The lovely pet. B．The important assistant. C．The experimental subject. D．The person to raise money. 解析：选C　词义猜测题。根据最后一段最后一句“The operation was a success.”可知，此处是指他成为自己发明的第一个手术对象。所以“the guinea pig”是指“实验对象”。 4．Which words can best describe Tal Golesworthy? A．Creative and kind. B．Strong and imaginary. C．Devoted and generous. D．Determined and brave. 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可知，他是一个坚定的人；根据最后一段最后两句可知，他敢于尝试，是一个勇敢的人。 B A rare genetic skin condition has been corrected for the first time using a gene therapy that is applied to the skin. About 1 in 800,000 children in the US are born with a severe condition called recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (不良性大疱性表皮松解症 RDEB) that makes their skin extremely weak and likely to be torn and blister (长水疱)． “It is very painful，” said Vincenzo Mascoli, 22, who travelled from Italy to the US to have the gene therapy.He had open wounds all over his body, including one covering his entire back that had been there since he was 2 years old.“Sometimes I also get blisters in my eyes and have to keep my eyes closed, and sometimes I get blisters in my throat that make it difficult to eat，” he said.Mascoli and other people with the condition have weak skin because they have an improper version of a collagen (胶原) gene called COL7A1.That means their skin can't produce the collagen proteins needed to give it structure and strength. Peter Marinkovich at Stanford University in California and his colleagues developed a way to insert normal COL7A1 genes into the skin of such individuals so they can start producing collagen properly.“All it does is go into the cell and deliver the gene，” said Marinkovich. The gene therapy was then incorporated into a gel (凝胶) so it could be applied to the skin.It was tested in a late－stage clinical experiment in the US involving 31 children and adults with RDEB, including Mascoli. The treatment was repeated weekly until the wounds closed.After three months, 71% of the wounds treated with the gene therapy had completely healed, compared with 20% of those who had the ineffective gel applied, and there were no serious side effects. A company has partnered with Marinkovich and his colleagues to develop the gene therapy and will apply in the next few months for approval to make it available to more patients. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种罕见的遗传性皮肤病有了治疗方法，通过应用于皮肤的基因疗法，此类病患者迎来了福音，还介绍了其治疗原理和前景。 5．What do we know about RDEB? A．It is a serious skin disease on children. B．It brings unbearable pain to the patients. C．It makes patients' skin weak but seldom blister. D．About 800,000 children in the US suffer from it. 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第二段“About 1 in 800,000 children in the US are born with ... to be torn and blister.”和第三段中患者Vincenzo Mascoli的话可知，RDEB给病人带来难以忍受的痛苦。 6．Why do the patients with RDEB have weak skin? A．They don't have the gene called COL7A1. B．They don't deal with the wounds properly. C．Genes on them fail to provide right proteins. D．They have serious side effects after treatments. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第三段中“Mascoli and other people with the condition ... their skin can't produce the collagen proteins needed to give it structure and strength.”可知，RDEB患者的皮肤比较脆弱，是因为他们身上的胶原蛋白基因COL7A1版本不正确，无法为人体提供正确的蛋白质。 7．What do we know about the new therapy? A．It was developed by a company. B．It has proved highly effective on all patients. C．It will be applied to patients in a larger scale. D．It has positive effects on patients immediately. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据最后一段“A company ... to make it available to more patients.”可知，这种新疗法将更大规模地应用于患者。 8．Where is this text probably taken from? A．A biography.　　 B．A course plan. C．A mathematics paper. D．A science magazine. 解析：选D　文章出处题。通读全文，并结合第一段可知，文章介绍了一种罕见的遗传性皮肤病有了治疗方法，通过应用于皮肤的基因疗法，此类病患者迎来了福音，还介绍了其治疗原理和前景。文章内容与科学研究相关，因此本文可能选自一本科学杂志。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Feeling stuck in a place of hopelessness makes life really tough.Fortunately, there are some things you can do when you're feeling hopeless to make life a bit better.
