22、   ＂New and improved."These words are put in so many marketing campaigns that we tend to accept them as linked.But many new drugs aren't an improvement over the best existing drug for a given condition,and the fast drug-approval processes in recent years have added to the uncertainty about their advantages.

A recent report in the British Medical Journal,"New Drugs;Where Did We Go Wrong and What We Do Better?" analyzed the issue,The authors looked at 216 drugs approved between 2011 and 2017; 152 were newly developed,and 64 were existing medicine approved for new uses. Only 25% offered a major advantage over the established treatment,and fully 58% had no confirmed added benefit to reduce symptoms or improve health-related quality of life.

＂This doesn't mean there's no added benefit,"lead author Wieseler said."It just means we have no positive proof Either we have no studies or have studies not good enough.”Wieseler and her co-authors work for a German agency which evaluates new treatments and advises on whether the country's health care system should pay a premium(补贴）for them.If payers think a new drug isn't better than an existing drug,these agencies will require that hospitals try the cheaper drug first.

Germany's HTA demands trials to prove that a new treatment beats the existing standard. This isn't always practical. For one thing, such studies can be expensive and time-consuming,with no guarantee of success.Secondly,it can discourage companies from attempting to develop new alternatives.This is already happening.Drug developers are increasingly focused on areas where there are no good treatments to compete with,such as rare diseases.

This lack of meaningful data to guide patients is a major point of Wieseler's paper.With accelerated approval,there are more products approved,with a greater amount of uncertainty about risks and benefits. But there are other solutions besides drug trials.One idea is to require postmarket studies to track the effectiveness of newly approved drugs-a step too often neglected.

【1】What message does the recent report convey?

A.Improved drugs have advantages over old ones.

B.The approval processes for new drugs are too fast.

C.Many new drugs have no improved advantages.

D.Almost half the drugs approved target the special cases.

【2】What's the disadvantage of Germany's HTA trial demands?

A.Making drug companies think of illegal ways to cut cost.

B.Holding companies back from improving existing drugs.

C.Getting patients to depend on the government for support.

D.Pushing companies to try alternatives for existing drugs.

【3】What is the best title for the text?

A.The Advantage of Existing Drugs B.The Great Potential of New Drugs

C.People's Preference for New or Old Drugs D.A Dilemma with New Drug Alternatives

23、Have you ever been seized with a kind of warm and unclear feeling when you start an old-fashioned game? Or maybe when you think back to celebrating the holidays as a kid, something magical just seems to be missing now. That’s nostalgia.

In the early 20th century, nostalgia was considered a mental condition similar to depression. Anyone separated from their native place for a long time was easy to suffer nostalgia. But over the next few decades, the meaning of nostalgia has expanded from indicating homesickness to a general longing for the past. And rather than an awful disease, it turns out to be seen as a bittersweet experience.

From several former studies, researchers of the University of Southampton supposed nostalgia might protect people from being in bad mood, even when they think about upsetting thing — like death. To test it out, they conducted an experiment, where 75 people wrote about their own deaths, and then did a word completion task, in which they were asked to complete different words based on a six-letter word starting with C-O-F-F. The people who thought about dying but didn’t get nostalgic answered with many death- related words, such as “coffin”，while the nostalgic people gave more answers unrelated to death like “coffee”, almost as if they had never thought about death in the first place.

The researchers think that could mean nostalgia, despite being a complex emotional state that can include feelings of loss and sadness, doesn’t generally put people in a negative mood. Instead, by allowing individuals to remember personally meaningful and rewarding experiences, nostalgia can boost psychological well- being. These studies are pretty limited, though, and there’s still a lot we don’t know about nostalgia.

Still, these studies support that nostalgia has a purpose; If people are feeling down, it might cheer them up. But there are also some less helpful side effects. For example, advertisers have discovered how powerful nostalgia is as a marketing technique, for nostalgia in ads can make people part with cash more easily. So, it is not all sugar cookies.

【1】What is Paragraph 2 intended to explain?

A．The depression caused by long term nostalgia.

B．The mental conditions of people away from home.

C．The understandings of nostalgia in different periods.

D．The relationship between homesickness and nostalgia.

【2】How did the researchers prove the result of the former studies?

A．By performing a test.

B．By introducing a concept.

C．By doing an investigation.

D．By conducting an interview.

【3】What can we infer about nostalgia from Paragraph 4?

A．It needs to be further studied.

B．It helps to remove bad feelings.

C．It benefits people’s physical health.

D．It makes people feel life is complex.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．The Reasons for Feeling Nostalgia

B．The Commercial Values of Nostalgia

C．Nostalgia: A Method for a Better Mood

D．Nostalgia: A Bitter and Pleasant Experience

24、One night many years ago when I was on the bridge of a ship that passed one of our large cities on a quiet night, I saw its lights reflected in the sky and heard the rumblings of the city's noises. As I looked to my other side, I could see nothing but open space of darkness and endless water. I realized how small I was and that my own problems of life did not seem great.

I have spent twenty—five years on boats. Now I am a docking pilot. My job is to bring in the large luxury liners and stay with them until they are safely anchored in their berths. Sometimes this requires two tugs(拖船）, sometimes many more, depending on the tide, the weather, and the draft of the vessel.

Most of you no doubt have seen these tugs pushing and pulling at the big liners. What they are doing doesn't seem to make much sense at first, but presently the big boat is alongside her landing stage, her ropes made fast, and the job is done.

These tugs, whether one or ten, move about in accord with whistle signals I send them from the bridge of the big liner. These signals make up a language that is just as dependable as the spoken word; or even more so, because our docking signals are rarely misunderstood. The captain of each tug does his work according to the signals he receives. He never asks questions. He takes everything on faith, and it always works out.

I fell very important the first time I ever docked a big liner, thinking that I was in control of a great ship worth millions of dollars and the owners were depending on me to bring her safely to her berth. After I had docked several of the large liners, I realized I was not important, but simply the quarterback who called the signals.

Working around tugboats has had its effect on what I believe. The great transatlantic liners depend on the help of the little tugs to bring them safely to port, and it is with one's success.

A．important

B．humble

C．tough

D．complex

【2】What is the main purpose of writing paragraph 4?

A．To give a detailed description.

C．To make a comparison.

D．To help reveal the theme.

【3】According to the passage, one's success depends on .

A．diligence

B．mutual assistance

C．learning

D．individual excellence

【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A．Tugboats and the Pilot

B．The Significance of Teamwork

C．The Workings of Tugboats

D．Philosophy from Tugboats
