In The U.S., Height Hits Its Head On The Genetic Celing

In the early 1960s Wilt Chamberlain was one of onlythree players in the National Basketball Association(NBA) listed at over seven feet.

在20世纪60年代早期,Wilt Chamberlain 是美国国家篮球协会中仅有的身高超过7英尺的三个人之一。

If he had played last season, however, he would havebeen one of 42.

可是如果他参加了上个赛季的话,他就变成了1/42了。

The bodies playing major professional sports have changed dramatically over the years,

这些年来在较大的职业体育运动中的运动员的身体状况发生了很大的改变,

and managers have been more than willing to adjust team uniforms to fit the growingnumbers of bigger, longer frames.

而他们的经理人也更愿意调整队员的运动服来适应队员们更大,更高的身材。

The trend in sports, though, may be obscuring an unrecognized reality: Americans havegenerally stopped growing.

虽然体育界的这种趋势可能蒙蔽了一个没有被承认的现实:美国人基本上停止生长了。

Though typically about two inches taller now than 140 years ago, today's people - especiallythose born to families who have lived in the U. S. for many generations - apparently reachedtheir limit in the early 1960s.

虽然现在人们比140 年前高了2英寸,特别是那些出生在已移民美国很多代的那些人,但是明显的,在二十世纪60年代早期,已经到达了他们的身高的极限。

And they aren't likely to get any taller.

他们已经不可能再长得更高了。

“In the general population today, at this genetic, environmental level, we've pretty much goneas far as we can go, ”says anthropologist William Cameron Chumlea of Wright StateUniversity.

Wright 州大学的人类学家William Cameron Chumlea 说:“在这个基因和环境的条件下,现在整体的人们已经长到我们能够达到的范围了。”

In the case of NBA players, their increase in height appears to result from the increasinglycommon practice of recruiting players from all over the world.

拿NBA 球员来说,他们身高的增加主要由于从世界各地招募到了球员。

Growth, which rarely continues beyond the age of 20, demands calories and nutrients - notably,protein - to feed expanding tissues.

身高的增长一般在20 岁以后就停止了,而发育是需要能量和营养的,其中的蛋白质用来供给组织的生长。

At the start of the 20th century, under-nutrition and childhood infections got in the way.

在20世纪初,营养不良和儿童疾病妨碍了整体的发育。

But as diet and health improved, children and adolescents have, on average, increased in heightby about an inch and a half every 20 years, a pattern known as the secular trend in height.

但是当饮食和健康的促进,儿童和青少年平均每20年都增长了大概1.5英寸,这就是长高的趋势。

Yet according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, average height - 5'9″for men, 5'4″for women - hasn't really changed since 1960.

根据疾病防治中心,从1960 年开始,人们平均身高,男性5英尺9英寸,女性5英尺4英寸,就没有什么变化了。

Genetically speaking, there are advantages to avoiding substantial height.

总的说来,避免太高的身高是有很多优点的。

During childbirth, larger babies have more difficulty passing through the birth canal.

在生产时,较大的婴儿通过产道是有更多的问题的。

Moreover, even though humans have been upright for millions of years, our feet and backcontinue to struggle with bipedal posture and cannot easily withstand repeated strainimposed by oversize limbs.

而且,就算人类已经直立行走已经几百万年了,我们的脚和背部继续对抗着巨大的压力,这些压力来源于双足直立的姿势和巨大的肢体。

“There are some real constraints that are set by the genetic architecture of the individualorganism, ”says anthropologist William Leonard of Northwestern University.

西北大学的人类学家William Leonard 说:“有一些限制是个体器官的基因结构导致的。”

Genetic maximums can change, but don't expect this to happen soon.

基因的最大化可以改变,但是不要期待它会马上就能发生。

Claire C. Gordon, senior anthropologist at the Army Research Center in Natick, Mass. ,ensures that 90 percent of the uniforms and workstations fit recruits without alteration.

Mass州的Natick的军队研究中心的高级人类学家Claire C. Gordon确信百分之九十的入伍新兵不需要更换新的制服和工作站。

She says that, unlike those for basketball, the length of military uniforms has not changed forsome time.

她说,不像那些篮球制服,军队的制服长度很长时间都没有改变了。

And if you need to predict human height in the near future to design a piece of equipment,Gordon says that by and large, “you could use today's data and feel fairly confident. ”

如果你需要在不远的将来预测人类的身高而去设计一款新的设备,Gordon 说基本上,“你都可以使用现在的数据,并且非常地自信。”

凯程考研的价值观口号:凯旋归来,前程万里;

信念:让每个学员都有好最好的归宿;

使命:完善全新的教育模式,做中国最专业的考研辅导机构;

激情:永不言弃,乐观向上;

敬业:以专业的态度做非凡的事业;

服务:以学员的前途为已任,为学员提供高效、专业的服务,团队合作,为学员服务,为学员引路。

如何选择考研辅导班:

在考研准备的过程中,会遇到不少困难,尤其对于跨专业考生的专业课来说,通过报辅导班来弥补自己复习的不足,可以大大提高复习效率,节省复习时间,大家可以通过以下几个方面来考察辅导班,或许能帮你找到适合你的辅导班。

师资力量:师资力量是考察辅导班的首要因素,考生可以针对辅导名师的辅导年限、辅导经验、历年辅导效果、学员评价等因素进行综合评价,询问往届学长然后选择。判断师资力量关键在于综合实力,因为任何一门课程,都不是由一、两个教师包到底的,是一批教师配合的结果。还要深入了解教师的学术背景、资料著述成就、辅导成就等。凯程考研名师云集,李海洋、张鑫教授、方浩教授、卢营教授、孙浩教授等一大批名师在凯程授课。而有的机构只是很普通的老师授课,对知识点把握和命题方向,欠缺火候。

对该专业有辅导历史:必须对该专业深刻理解,才能深入辅导学员考取该校。在考研辅导班中,从来见过如此辉煌的成绩:凯程教育拿下2015五道口金融学院状元,考取五道口15人,清华经管金融硕士10人,人大金融硕士15个,中财和贸大金融硕士合计20人,北师大教育学7人,会计硕士保录班考取30人,翻译硕士接近20人,中传状元王园璐、郑家威都是来自凯程,法学方面,凯程在人大、北大、贸大、政法、武汉大学、公安大学等院校斩获多个法学和法硕状元,更多专业成绩请查看凯程网站。在凯程官方网站的光荣榜,成功学员经验谈视频特别多,都是凯程战绩的最好证明。对于如此高的成绩,凯程集训营班主任邢老师说,凯程如此优异的成绩,是与我们凯程严格的管理,全方位的辅导是分不开的,很多学生本科都不是名校,某些学生来自二本三本甚至不知名的院校,还有很多是工作了多年才回来考的,大多数是跨专业考研,他们的难度大,竞争激烈,没有严格的训练和同学们的刻苦学习,是很难达到优异的成绩。最好的办法是直接和凯程老师详细沟通一下就清楚了。

建校历史:机构成立的历史也是一个参考因素,历史越久,积累的人脉资源更多。例如,凯程教育已经成立10年(2005年),一直以来专注于考研,成功率一直遥遥领先,同学们有兴趣可以联系一下他们在线老师或者电话。

有没有实体学校校区:有些机构比较小,就是一个在写字楼里上课,自习,这种环境是不太好的,一个优秀的机构必须是在教学环境,大学校园这样环境。凯程有自己的学习校区,有吃住学一体化教学环境,独立卫浴、空调、暖气齐全,这也是一个考研机构实力的体现。此外,最好还要看一下他们的营业执照。

2018考研英语一答案

2018年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语(一)试题答案详解 注意:英语试卷为花卷,以答案内容进行核对 整理:凯程中传果酱老师 Section I Use of English 1、【答案】[B]for 【解析】此处考察介词的用法。it’s a necessary condition____many worthwhile things(信任是一个必要条件_____许多重要事情)此处应该是说,信任对许多重要事情来说是一个必要条件。B选项for(对...来说)符合语义,故为正确答案;A选项from(来自于),C选项like(像...),D选项on(关于)语义不恰当,故排除。 2、【答案】[C]faith 【解析】此处考察词义辨析和中心一致性原则。第一段首句提出主题句:trust is a tricky business(信任是一个奇怪的东西)。后面进一步对该主题句进行解释说明:On the one hand, it’s a necessary condition___for___many worthwhile things:child care,friendships,etc.(一方面,信任对许多重要事情来说是必要条件,比如照看孩子,友谊等),这句话在说信任的好处。On the other hand,putting your___in the wrong place often carries a high____.(另一方面,把...放在错误的地方往往会带来巨大...),显然这句话依旧在解释主题词“trust”,只有C选项faith(信任、忠诚)与trust属于近义词复现,故正确答案为[C]faith。 3、【答案】[B]price 【解析】此处考察词义辨析。第一段首句提出主题句:trust is a tricky business(信任是一个奇怪的东西)。后面进一步对该主题句进行解释说明:On the one hand,it’s a necessary condition__for__many worthwhile things:child care,friendships,etc.(一方面,信任对许多重要事情来说是必要条件,比如照看孩子,友谊等),这句话在说信任的好处。On the other hand, putting your___in the wrong place often carries a high____.(另一方面,把...放在错误的地方往往会带来巨大...),显然这句话依旧在解释主题词“trust”,并且根据空格所在句中的关键词“wrong place”,本句应该在说信任不当的弊端,所以空格处应该填入一个负向感情色彩的词,故A选项benefit和D选项hope排除,而C选项debt(债务)带入之后语义不当,故正确答案为[B]price(代价)。

2018考研英语阅读解题思路:细节题_毙考题

2018考研英语阅读解题思路:细节题 理解文章的具体信息和概念含义是大纲对阅读的明确要求。细节题目的考查在每年的考研英语真题当中都会占到一半以上,考生必须给予足够重视,牢牢掌握细节题的解题方法和思路。我们以2009年的真题为例: The relationship between formal education and economic growth in poor countries is widely misunderstood by economists and politicians alike. Progress in both area is undoubtedly necessary for the social, political and intellectual development of these and all other societies; however, the conventional view that education should be one of the very highest priorities for promoting rapid economic development in poor countries is wrong. We are fortunate that it is, because building new educational systems there and putting enough people through them to improve economic performance would require two or three generations. 31. The author holds that the importance of education in poor countries______. [A] is subject to groundless doubts [B] has fallen victim of bias [C] is conventional downgraded [D] has been overestimated 解析:首先依据题干关键词the importance of education in poor countries定位到第一句The relationship between formal education and economic growth in poor countries is widely misunderstood,但是仔细研读后发现贫穷国家中正规教育与经济发展之间的关系为经济学家及政治家们普遍误解。,该句只是在说正式教育和经济发展之间的关系,并不是题干所要找的教育的重要性。继续定位到第三句however, the conventional view that education should be one of the very highest priorities for promoting rapid economic development in poor countries is wrong.那种认为教育应该是促进贫穷国家经济快速发展的重要因素之一的传统观点是错误的。句中涉及了和教育的重要性相关的信息,锁定为答案出处。作者说这种传统的观点时错误的,可以理解为作者认为贫困国家不应该把教育看的如此重要,即,现在的贫困国家太过于注重教育了,所以答案选[D] has been overestimated教育被高估了。[C] is conventional downgraded被降级轻视,和原文事实相反。A和B选项所说的怀疑和偏见态度在原文中找不到依据,可排除。

2018年可锐考研英语阅读真题范文

2018年可锐考研英语阅读真题范文(七) Don’t shoot the messenger They poison the mind and corrupt the morals of the young, who waste their time sitting on sofas immersed in dangerous fantasy worlds. That, at least, was the charge levelled against novels during the 18th century by critics worried about the impact of a new medium on young people. Today the idea that novels can harm people sounds daft. And that is surely how history will judge modern criticism of video games, which are accused of turning young people into violent criminals. This week European justice ministers met to discuss how best to restrict the sale of violent games to children. Some countries, such as Germany, believe the answer is to ban some games altogether. That is going too far. Criticism of games is merely the latest example of a tendency to demonise new and unfamiliar forms of entertainment. In 1816 waltzing was condemned as a fatal contagion that encouraged promiscuity; in 1910 films were denounced as an evil pure and simple, destructive of social interchange in the 1950s rock ’n’roll music was said to turn young people into devil worshippers and comic books were accused of turning children into drug addicts and criminals. In each case the pattern is the same: young people adopt a new form of entertainment, older people are spooked by its unfamiliarity and condemn it, but eventually the young grow up and the new medium becomes accepted-at which point another example appears and the cycle begins again. The opposition to video games is founded on the mistaken belief that most gamers are children. In fact, twothirds of gamers are over 18 and the average gamer is around 30. But the assumption that gamers are mostly children leads to a double standard. Violent films are permitted and the notion that some films are unsuitable for children is generally understood. Yet different rules are applied to games. Aren’t games different because they are interactive? It is true that video games can make people feel excited or aggressive, but so do many sports. There is no evidence that videogaming causes longterm aggression. Games ought to be agerated, just as films are, and retailers should not sell adultrated games to children any more than they should sell them adultrated films. Ratings schemes are already in place, and in some countries restrictions on the sale of adultrated games to minors have the force of law. Oddly enough, Hillary Clinton, one of the politicians who has led the criticism of the gaming industry in America, has recently come round to this view. Last month she emphasised the need for parents to pay more attention to game ratings and called on the industry, retailers and parents to work together. But this week some European politicians seemed to be moving in the other direction: the Netherlands may follow Germany, for example, in banning some games outright. Not all adults wish to play violent games, just as not all of them enjoy violent movies. But they should be free to do so if they wish. 二. Doughnut adjust your set HAVE you ever seen anything on television that made you shout or shake your fist in anger at the screen? Televisions are, of course, unable to respond to such reactions.

考研英语个阅读题答题技巧毙考题

2017考研英语:57个阅读题答题技巧 距离2017年考研初试已经只剩一个多月的时间,各位考生在这段时间需要做得很重要的一件事就是练习真题,研究答题技巧。下面小编为大家整理了2017考研英语阅读题答题技巧,以供大家参考。 在考研英语中,阅读是一个拉分大项,也是难度较大的题目,因此同学们在复习的过程中应将答题技巧融合在复习过程中,下面是英语阅读的57个答题技巧。 1、原句重复出现,200%错。正确的都是有改动的,即同意替换。 2、文章是按顺序出题的。你要觉得不是,就是你做错了。 3、选项中意思完全相反的2个选项,其中之一是对的。(要有这个意识)。 4、就一般而言,some people,表作者不认同的观点。few people,表作者的观点。 5、用文章里举例的句子来作为选项,直接排除。200%错。(要有能辨别这个选项是不是文章中例子的能力)。 6、某某人说的话,或者是带引号的,一定要高度重视。尤其是在段落的后半部分。很有可能就是某个问题的同意替换。即题眼。 7、有的时候,一句话可以设2个问题。不过这种情况很少出现了,非常少。 8、文章基本以5段为主(也有6段、7段的),要把握每段之间的关系。一般来说,一段一个题,只是一般来说喔。 9、一篇文章总会有5、6+个长难句,且总会在这里设问题。所以,长难句必须要拿下! 10、每段的第一句很重要。尤其总分结构的段。有的时候第一句话就是题眼。考研英语,总分结构或者总分总的段落很多。

11、若文章首段以why为开头的,这里若设题的话,选项里有because的,往往就是正确选项。不过这种类型的题,很少见了。 12、有时候每段的第一句话,仅仅是一个表述。而在第2或3句以后,会出现对比或者转折。一般来说,转折后面的是作者的态度。你要注意的是,作者对什么进行了转折。那个关键词你要找出来。 13、在应该出现答案的地方,没有答案。接着往下读。答案可能会在下一段的开头部分。因为文章都是接着说的。要有连贯性。这和7选5的技巧有些相似。不过这种情况并不多见。 14、一个长句看不懂,接着往下看,下一句可能是这个长句的解释说明。是的话,这的地方可能会出题。出的话,答案就在这附近。而实际情况是,文章在谈论某个问题或提出某个观点时,有时会再做进一步的解释说明。这种情况下,这里往往会设问题。不过,这种情况很少见了。 15、有些句子仅仅是解释补充,或者是起过渡作用的。这样句子的特点是,句子比较短。注意,答案一般不会在这儿出现。选项中出现,肯定是干扰项。你要知道的是,同意替换的句子,大都是长难句。一些作为过渡的句子,不可能是答案。在你读不懂的情况下,要有这个判断力。 16、正确选项都是原文中的个别几个词的同义替换。阅读理解历年的所有真题,都是同意替换!就看你能不能找得到。考研英语,考的就是这个!那个关键词,就看你找没找得到,不管是什么类型的题。 17、每一个问题,在原文中,都要有一个定位。然后精读,找出那个中心句或者关键词。要抓文章的中心主旨和各段落的大意,阅读理解考的就是这个中心句。 18、选项中的几个单词,是该段中不同句子里的单词拼凑的,有时看上去很舒服,注意,干扰项。还有从不同的段落里的词拼凑到一起的,直接排除。总之,选项的单词是拼凑的,肯定错。 19、一定要注意文章中句子的宾语部分,尤其是长难句中主干的宾语。上面说了,考研英语大都是长难句里设题。你要知道的是,长难句里,最可能是出题的就是句子的主干部分!主干的主语、宾语是什么,一定要知道。正确选项的题眼往往就在这儿。当然,还有一些起修饰、限定作用的词,一定要看仔细。小心陷阱。

2018考研英语阅读理解模拟试题及参考答案

2018考研英语阅读理解模拟试题及参考答案 Text 1 Against a backdrop of drastic changes in economy and population structure, younger Americans are drawing a new 21st-century road map to success, a latest poll has found. Across generational lines, Americans continue to prize many of the same traditional milestones of a successful life, including getting married, having children, owning a home, and retiring in their sixties. But while young and old mostly agree on what constitutes the finish line of a fulfilling life, they offer strikingly different paths for reaching it. Young people who are still getting started in life were more likely than older adults to prioritize personal fulfillment in their work, to believe they will advance their careers most by regularly changing jobs, to favor communities with more public services and a faster pace of life, to agree that couples should be financially secure before getting married or having children, and to maintain that children are best served by two parents working outside the home, the survey found. From career to community and family, these contrasts suggest that in the aftermath of the searing Great Recession, those just starting out in life are defining priorities and expectations that will increasingly spread through virtually all aspects of American life, from consumer preferences to housing patterns to politics. Young and old converge on one key point: Overwhelming majorities of both groups said they believe it is harder for young people today to get started in life than it was for earlier generations. While younger people are somewhat more optimistic than their elders about the prospects for those starting out today, big majorities in both groups believe those “just getting started in life” face a tougher a good-paying job, starting a family, managing debt, and finding affordable housing. Pete Schneider considers the climb tougher today. Schneider, a 27-yaear-old auto technician from the Chicago suburbs says he struggled to find a job after graduating from college. Even now that he is working steadily, he said.” I can’t afford to pay ma monthly mortgage payments on my own, so I have to rent rooms out to people to mark that happen.” Looking back, he is str uck that his parents could provide a comfortable life for their?children even though neither had completed college when he was young. “I still grew up in an upper middle-class home with parents who didn’t have college degrees,” Schneider said. “I don’t think people are capable of that anymore.” 1. One cross-generation mark of a successful life is_____.? [A] trying out different lifestyles [B] having a family with children [C] working beyond retirement age [D] setting up a profitable business 答案:C 2. It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that young people tend to?____.

考研英语二阅读理解全文翻译

英语二T e x t 1 1---Homework has never been terribly popular with students and even many parents, but in recent years it has been particularly scorned. School districts across the country, most recently Los Angeles Unified, are revising(修改) their thinking on his educational ritual(例行公事). Unfortunately, L.A. Unified has produced an inflexible (不可变更的) policy which mandates(批准) that with the exception of some advanced courses, homework may no longer count for more than 10% of a student’s academic grade。 家庭作业从来就没有受到学生甚至家长的真正欢迎,但最近几年来,家庭作业却受到人们的鄙视。全国的学校都在修改家庭作业的相关惯例做法。不幸的是,洛杉矶学区通过了一项不可变更的政策:除了高等课程,家庭作业在学分中所占比例不可以超过10%。 21.It is implied in paragraph 1 that nowadays homework_____。 [A] is receiving more criticism [B] is no longer an educational ritual(绝对) [C] is not required for advanced courses(正反) [D] is gaining more preferences(正反) 2---This rule is meant to address the difficulty that students from impoverished or chaotic homes might have in completing their homework. But the policy is unclear and contradictory. Certainly, no homework should be assigned that students cannot do without expensive equipment. But if the district is essentially giving a pass to students who do not do their homework because of complicated family lives, it is going riskily close to the implication that standards need to be lowered for poor children。 这个规定旨在提出:来自贫穷家庭或混乱家庭的学生有困难,不能完成家庭作业。但该政策是不清晰的,是矛盾的。显然,没有哪个家庭作业是在没有昂贵设备就无法完成的。但如果该学区因为学生家庭复杂而不做家庭作业就给他通过的话,那么这就意味着对于贫穷孩子,标准要降低。

考研英语阅读各题型解题技巧分析

考研英语阅读各题型解题技巧分析 态度题是考研英语阅读理解中的必考题型,在20道选择题中大约要占到10%-15%的比重,也是同学们得分率较低的一个题型,在做题时往往抓不住文中的关键信息来判断作者或是其他相关人士的态度。本文就来谈谈如何应对考研英语阅读理解中的态度题目。 首先,我们来看一下态度题目题干中的标志性词。当我们在题干中看到attitude,believe, agree等词时就可以判定其为态度题了,选项中表示态度的单词常见的有:表示积极的态度:supportive、optimistic、consent、approval 表示消极的态度:indifferent、indignant、contempt、bias、pessimistic、skeptical、resent、suspicion、opposition 表示客观中立的态度:detached、reserved、objective、concerned、imparti al 此外,根据题干中态度主体的不同,分为作者态度题和他人态度题。在阅读题干和返回原文时,我们要注意态度的主体、态度的对象和态度的表达方式。即这道题是说谁的态度,关于哪一个话题、在文章中是怎样表现的。那么针对此类题,我们该如何解答呢?1.确定题干中态度的主体和对象;2、返回原文寻找包含主体和对象的句子;3.将原文中的态度词与选项进行比较,意思接近的为正确答案。 下面我们通过2000年考研阅读真题的第一篇文章来讲解一下这类题型的解题技巧。这篇文章主要讲了美国经济在不同时期的状况以及人们对经济发展不同的态度。以54题为例进行讲解。 54.The author seems tobelieve the revival ofthe U.S. eco nomy in the 1990s can be attributed to the ________. [A] turning of the businesscycle [B] restructuring of industry [C] improved business management [D] success in education 从题干的believe一词我们可以判定这是一道态度题,另外,题干中提到具体定位信息,the revivalof the U.S.economyin the 1990s,所以需要我们根据选项中的内容返回原文进行查找。来源为第四自然段第二句话。Few Americansattribute this solely to such obvious causesas a devalued dollar or the turning of the business cycle. Few表示否定的概念,表示几乎没有人把美国经济的稳定增长单纯归因于美元贬值或是商业周期循环这些显而易见的原因,而这恰恰是美国经济复苏的原因所在。后面作者又提到自我怀疑被盲目自大所替代。下面几个人的说法(Richard, Stephen)正是盲目自大的具体表现。可见作者是不支持这种blindpride的说法。B是Richard的观点,C是Stephen和William的观点。D没有提到。正确选项为A。 通过以上题目的讲解,相信大家对考研英语阅读理解中态度题的做题方法有了更深的认识和把握。在今后阅读中遇到态度的问题时,一定要看清问的是谁的关于什么问题的态度,

2018年可锐考研英语阅读真题解析

2018年可锐考研英语阅读真题解析(一) 一、从鸡蛋中培养流感疫菌 Modern technology has put men on the moon and deciphered the human genome. But when it comes to brewing up flu to make vaccines, science still turns to the incredible edible egg. Ever since the 1940s, vaccine makers have grown large batches of virus inside chicken eggs. But given that some 36,000 Americans die of flu each year, it’s remarkable that our first line of defense is still what Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson calls “the cumbersome and archaic egg-based production.”New cell-based technologies are in the pipeline, however, and may finally get the support they need now that the United States is faced with a critical shortage of flu vaccine. Although experts disagree on whether new ways of producing vaccine could have prevented a shortage like the one happening today, there is no doubt that the existing system has serious flaws. Each year, vaccine manufacturers place advance orders for millions of specially grown chicken eggs. Meanwhile, public-health officials monitor circulating strains of flu, and each March they recommend three strains—two influenza A strains and one B strain—for manufacturers to include in vaccines. In the late spring and summer, automated machines inject virus into eggs and later suck out the influenza-rich goop. Virus from the eggs’innards gets killed and processed to remove egg proteins and other contaminants before being packaged into vials for fall shipment. Why has this egg method persisted for six decades? The main reason is that it’s reliable. But even though the eggs are reliable, they have serious drawbacks. One is the long lead time needed to order the eggs. That means it’s hard to make more vaccine in a hurry, in case of a shortage or unexpected outbreak. And eggs may simply be too cumbersome to keep up with the hundreds of millions of doses required to handle the demand for flu vaccine. What’s more, some flu strains don’t grow well in eggs. Last year, scientists were unable to include the Fujian strain in the vaccine formulation. It was a relatively new strain, and manufacturers simply couldn’t find a quick way to adapt it so that it grew well in eggs. “We knew the strain was out there,”recalls Theodore Eickhoff of the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, “but public-health officials were left without a vaccine—and, consequently, a more severe flu season.” Worse, the viruses that pose the greatest threat might be hardest to grow in eggs. That’s because global pandemics like the one that killed over 50 million people between 1918 and 1920 are thought to occur when a bird influenza changes in a way that lets it cross the species barrier and infect humans. Since humans haven’t encountered the new virus before, they have little protective immunity. The deadly bird flu circulating in Asia in 1997 and 1998, for example, worried public-health officials because it spread to some people who handled birds and killed them—although the bug never circulated among humans. But when scientists tried to make

2020年考研英语阅读理解模拟试题:医学(18) It was a big week for Alzheimer's disease, and not just because PBS aired The Forgetting, a first-rate documentary about Alzheimer's worth catching in reruns if you missed it the first time. There was also a flurry of scientific news that offered hope to the families already struggling with Alzheimer's, as well as to the baby-boom generation that's up next. Unless something dramatic happens, the number of Americans living with this terrifying brain disease could triple, to about 16 million, over the next 50 years. There's still no cure in sight, but there is progress on several fronts. Among them: MEGADOSE VITAMINS Doctors knew vitamins E and C, both antioxidants, help stave off Alzheimer's, at least in folks who haven't already developed the disorder. What they didn't know——but a big study involving 4,740 participants published in the Archives of Neurology showed——was that the two vitamins taken together in huge daily doses (at least 400 IU of E and more than 500 mg of C) could reduce the risk of Alzheimer's a remarkable 78%. COMBINATION THERAPY A yearlong study of more than 400 Alzheimer's patients showed that two drugs that work differently on the brain's chemistry act well together to help slow down the disease. Patients who were being treated with donepezil (sold as Aricept), an older drug that preserves the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, were also given memantine (Namenda), a new drug approved by the FDA last October that blocks overproduction of a harmful brain chemical called glutamate. The two drugs worked even better
