II. Reading Comprehension (30%)
Passage OneEver since William Harvey defined an animal’s heart as “the sovereign of everything
within them, the sum of their microcosm,” in De Motu Cordis in 1628, the heart has been one of the most widely studied organs of the body ? and fortunately so, given that heart disease is the world’s leading cause of death.
Each year, around 8 million people die from heart attacks and many millions more suffer from, and eventually succumb to, heart diseases such as congestive heart failure and arrhythmia (心律不齐). Global figures are rising, yet calculations suggest that this number could be slashed by around 50 per cent if smoking were removed from the equation. However, decreases would be offset to some degree as the world’s population ages, diets become more fat-laden and lifestyles more sedentary (久坐的), as all these factors are harmful to a healthy heart.
Although scientific study of the heart began four centuries ago, the past few decades have seen a paradigm (范例) shift in research. We are now able to monitor the process of contraction and relaxation that underlies the gross function of the heart at close quarters by tracking the movement of calcium (钙) and other ions (离子) within myocytes (肌细胞). And genetic information is used in trial heart gene therapy. As with all diseases, understanding the processes involved at the molecular and genetic level is enabling us to make inroads in preventing and treating heart disease.
11. If there is no one smoking, people suffering from heart diseases can be reduced _________. A. by about one fourth B. by about one thirds C. by about half D. to none
12. According to the passage, _________ is harmful to our hearts. A. drinking coffee B. long-time sitting
C. living a mobile life D. not eating regular meals 13. Scientific study of the heart _________. A. began a few decades ago B. began before Harvey’s time
C. is different from what it used to be
D. focuses on the ageing problem of the society
14. At the molecular level, researchers study the heart _________.
A. by tracking the movement of calcium and other ions within myocytes B. by monitoring the process of contraction and relaxation of the heart C. by doing trial heart gene therapy
D. by observing the heart beat of the subjects 15. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
