Researchers in the United States have developed the first wirelessly controlled device that can supply a drug directly into the body. A small chip is implanted (植入) under the skin. It contains the medicine, which it releases at preset times. The developers say the device could improve the lives of millions of people who take medicine for long-term illnesses. A company called Microchips began developing the device about fifteen years ago. Last month, the company released the results of its first successful tests in humans. The tests took place in Denmark with seven women with osteoporosis（骨质疏松症）.
Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and break easily. The disorder is common among older people especially women. Many patients have to give themselves daily injection（注射）of medicine. One type of treatment requires injections for two years. The patients stop taking the medicine because of the pain and stress of the injections. As a result, only twenty-five percent of the patients will go through the entire twenty-four months of treatment.
The microchip is a few centimeters long. It has small sections and each section holds a single dose（单次剂量）of medicine. The device has to be programmed with the times to release the drug. Doctors will be able to reprogram the device from a computer or even a cell phone.
For osteoporosis, the physician will program the device, and the device has the ability to release a dose at a given time, every single day. For other diseases, where the physician may want to change the dosing schedule, they will have the ability to wirelessly reprogram that dosing schedule.
The seven women in the study were ages of sixty-five to seventy. The researchers say the implants were just as effective as daily injections. And they say the medicine amounts were more exact than patients often give themselves.
【小题1】The best title for the passage should be .A．A New Company Called MicrochipsB．A New Way to Take Medicine Every DayC．Good News for Women with OsteoporosisD．Taking Medicine, with Microchip under Skin【小题2】What does the underlined word “released” in paragraph 1 mean?A．Announced.B．Planned.C．Got rid of.D．Caught hold of.【小题3】We can learn from Paragraph 2 that .A．older people especially men easily develop steoporosis B．bones’ becoming weak and breaking easily causes steoporosisC．a quarter of the patients will go through the entire two years of treatmentD．pain and stress of the injections lead all patients to stop taking medicine【小题4】What advantages does the microchip have?
a. effective implants
b. less exact medicine amounts
c. purposely—changed dosing schedule
d. only one centimeter long and having small sections
e. improving the lives of millions of peopleA．a, b, cB．c, d, eC．a, c, eD．b, c, d【小题5】In which column of a newspaper could we find this passage?A．Arts.B．Jobs.C．Sports.D．Medicine.D

(答案→)D 解析：文章介绍了一项发明是用芯片将药物注入到患者的皮肤下。可以定期的给病人一些剂量的药物，这项发明会改变很多人的生活。【小题1】主旨题：从文章第一段的句子：Researchers in the United States have developed the first wirelessly controlled device that can supply a drug directly into the body. A small chip is implanted (植入) under the skin.可知这项发明是用芯片将药物注入到患者的皮肤下。选D【小题2】猜词题：从后面的名词搭配：the results of its first successful tests in humans.可知是公布在人身上实验结果。选A【小题3】细节题：从第二段的句子：only twenty-five percent of the patients will go through the entire twenty-four months of treatment.可知经历两年治疗的病人有四分之一。选C【小题4】从第一段的句子：A small chip is implanted (植入) under the skin.可知a是对的，从倒数第二段的句子：For osteoporosis, the physician will program the device, and the device has the ability to release a dose at a given time, every single day.可知c是对的，从最后一段的句子：The researchers say the implants were just as effective as daily injections.可知d是对的，所以选 C【小题5】文章出处题：文章介绍的是一种新型的药物，选D
