Question

A portable lung which could help those with breathing problems lead a normal life is being developed by scientists.
The Swansea University scientists say it could take many years before the device(裝置) , the size of a spectacle box (眼鏡盒) , is available . Lung patients , who have seen how it would work , have welcomed the research.
Its research suggests that one person in every seven in the UK is affected by lung disease---- this equates to approximately 8 million people. As of 6 March 2009, 217 people were on the waiting list for a lung transplant（移植） according to figures by NHS Blood and Transplant .
Now scientists in Swansea are developing a portable artificial lung which could transform (改觀) the lives of patients . Researchers claim that in the long term the device could offer an alternative to lung transplant , giving hope to those who suffer from conditions such as emphysema(肺氣腫) and cystic fibrosis.
The device mimics the function of a lung---by getting oxygen into and carbon dioxide out of the blood stream . Professor Bill Johns came up with the idea after his son died of Cystic Fibrosis . It is important that we make something that will help people , who instead of being confined (局限) to a wheelchair with an oxygen bottle , can actually walk around and do things for themselves , he said.
Although the research has been welcomed by leading charities(慈善) , caution has also been voiced over the length of time it will take before a portable lung will become available .
“We have to stress that this is several years away from being used , even in a trial stage,” said Chris Mulholland , head of the British Lung Foundation.
Patient Elizabeth Spence from Swansea has been refused the double lung transplant she needs but remains hopeful that one day the new device could save her . “ My body will reject the lungs , so this possibly could be an answer--- another way of getting new lungs without actually having the transplant,” she said.

Answer 1

【小題1】B
【小題2】C
【小題3】D
【小題4】A

解析試題分析：文章介紹了一種新發(fā)明——便攜式肺器官。這是一種只有眼鏡盒大小的裝置，可以模仿人體肺部功能把氧氣輸入血液，同時(shí)把二氧化碳排除人體血液系統(tǒng)。這給肺病患者帶來(lái)了很大希望，但是專家稱此裝置還需要很長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間才能投入使用。
【小題1】B推理判斷題。從文章第二段Lung patients , who have seen how it would work , have welcomed the research .可知肺部患者見(jiàn)過(guò)這種裝置的運(yùn)作過(guò)程，由此推斷這種發(fā)明曾經(jīng)展示過(guò)，故B選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題2】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章倒數(shù)第二段“We have to stress that this is several years away from being used , even in a trial stage,”可知即使是試驗(yàn)階段也得需要幾年的時(shí)間才能被使用。
【小題3】D推理判斷題。A消極的；B懷疑的；C好奇的；D客觀的。從文章的整體內(nèi)容可知，作者只是介紹這種裝置，引用或轉(zhuǎn)述別人的話，而沒(méi)有加入個(gè)人的觀點(diǎn)看法，由此可知D選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題4】A推理判斷題。文章內(nèi)容是關(guān)于一種新型醫(yī)療裝置，并且文章開(kāi)頭提出。。。is being developed by scientists，由此判斷文章是選自科學(xué)版面。故A選項(xiàng)正確。
考點(diǎn)：考查科學(xué)知識(shí)類短文閱讀。
