Many
17、doctors, together with their patients, are looking for alternative methods of treatment of physical problems. In large hospitals, modern therapy（疗法） seems to focus on the physical disease. Patients may feel they are treated like broken machines. Some doctors have recognized this as a problem. They a
18、re now using psychological therapy, in which the patient is working with the doctors against the disease with the help of medicine. The patient does not wait for the medicine and treatment to cure him or her, but instead the patient joins in the fight. The doctor knows that a disease affects a patie
19、nts body physically. The body of the patient changes because of the disease. He is not only physically affected, but also has an emotional response to the disease. Because his mind is affected, his attitude and behavior change. The medical treatment might cure the patients physical problems, but the
20、 patients mind must fight the emotional ones. For example, the studies of one doctor, Carl Simonton, M. D., have shown that a typical cancer patient has predictable attitudes. She typically feels depressed, upset, and angry. Her constant depression makes her acts unfriendly toward her family, friend
21、s, doctors, and nurses. Such attitudes and behaviors prevent recovery. Therefore, a doctors treatment must help the patient change that. Simontons method emphasizes treatment of the “whole” patient. The attitude of a cancer patient receiving radiation therapy, an X-ray treatment, can become more pos
22、itive. The physician who is following Simontons psychological treatment plan suggests that the patient imagine that he or she can see the tumor（肿瘤） in the body. In the mental picture, the patient sees a powerful beam of radiation like a million bullets of energy. The patient imagines the beam hittin
23、g the tumor cells and causing them to shrink. For another cancer patient, Dr. Simonton asks him to imagine the medicine going from the stomach into the bloodstream and to the cancer cells. The patient imagines that the medicine is like an army fighting the diseased cells and sees the cancer cells gr
24、adually dying and his blood carry away the dead cells. Both the medical therapy and the patients positive attitude fight the disease. Doctors are not certain why this mental therapy works. However, this use of psychology does help some patients because their attitudes about themselves change. They b
25、ecome more confident because they use the power within their own minds to help stop the disease. Another application of using the mind to help cure disease is the use of suggestion therapy. At first, the doctor helps the patient to concentrate deeply. The patient thinks only about one thing. He beco
26、mes so unaware of other things around him that he is asleep, or rather in a trance（催眠状态）. Then the physician makes “a suggestion” to the patient about the medical problem. The patients mind responds to the suggestion even after the patient is no longer in the trance. In this way, the patient uses hi
27、s mind to help his body respond to treatment. Doctors have learned that this use of psychology is helpful for both adults and children. For example, physicians have used suggestion to help adults deal with the strong pain of some disease. Furthermore, sometimes the adult patient worries about her il
28、lness so much that the anxiety keeps her from getting well. The right suggestions may help the patient to stop being anxious. Such treatment may help the patient with a chronic（慢性的）diseases. Asthma （哮喘） is an example of a chronic disorder. Asthma is a disease that causes the patient to have difficul
29、ty in breathing. The patient starts to cough and sometimes has to fight to get the air that he or she needs. Psychology can help relieve the symptoms of this disorder. After suggestion therapy, the asthma patient breathes more easily. Physicians have learned that the psychological method is very use
30、ful in treating children. Children respond quickly to the treatment because they are fascinated by it. For example, Dr. Basil R. Collison has worked with 121 asthmatic children in Sydney, Australia, and had good results. Twenty-five of the children had Excellent results. They were able to breathe mo
31、re easily, and they did not need medication. Another forty-three were also helped. The symptoms of the asthma occurred less frequently, and when they did, they were not as strong. Most of the children also felt better about themselves. Doctors have also used suggestion to change habits like nail-bit
32、ing, thumb-sucking, and sleep-related problems. Many professional medical groups have accepted the medical use of psychology and that psychology has important applications in medicine.55. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. How suggestion therapy benefits adults and children. B. How modern thera
33、py focuses on the disease.C. Responses from the medical world.D. How to use the mind against disease.56. How does psychological therapy work? A. The patient waits for the medicine and treatment to cure him. B. The doctor uses medical treatment to cure the patients problems. C. The doctor, the medici
34、ne, and the patient work together to fight disease. D. The patient uses his mind to cure himself.57. What can we learn from the studies of Carl Simonton, M. D.? A. The medical treatment can cure the patients mental disease. B. The treatment of a patient by treating the body and the mind is necessary
35、. C. The mental treatment is more important than medical treatment. D. Few patients have emotional response to the disease.58. The use of psychological therapy is helpful to some patients in that . A. the medical effect is better with psychological therapy than without it B. the patients can see a p
36、owerful beam of radiation hitting their tumor cells C. the patients attitudes towards themselves have changed D. the patients are easy to accept the methods the doctors use to treat them59. It can be learned from the passage that suggestion therapy cannot be used to . A. help adults deal with the st
37、rong pain of some diseases B. help the patients with chronic diseases C. help change some bad habits D. help cure patients of insomnia（失眠症）60. According to the passage, which of the following remains unknown so far? A. The value of mental therapy. B. The effectiveness of suggestion therapy. C. The w

49、ook away the life of the baby【参考答案】51-54: BCAD 时闻型阅读理解-CScientists have not found any signs of life on Mars yet, but they say a robotic vehicle called “Curiosity” is helping them learn a lot about the planets history and climate.Curiosity landed on Mars in August 2012 after travelling through space
50、for more than eight months. It was sent to Mars by scientists from NASA in the United States.Curiosity is about the size of a car and has six wheels. It also has a robotic arm, cameras, and instruments that allow it to examine things it finds on the surface. Then it sends the information back to the
51、 earth.Curiositys main task is to find out if anything could live on Mars, either now or in the past. On Nov. 2, NASA scientists held a press conference (新闻发布会) to discuss what Curiosity had found in its first two months on Mars.Curiosity has found soil that is similar to the sand formed by volcanoe
52、s (火山) on the earth. Scientists say that studying the minerals in Martian soil will help them understand what conditions were like on the planet in the past. Curiosity also found smooth stones like the ones found on river beds and seashores on the earth, where their rough edges have been worn down b
53、y water. Mars is very cold and dry now, but scientists say the smooth stones tell them that a river used to run through the place where they were found.Curiosity has been testing the atmosphere around Mars for a type of gas called methane (甲烷), but so far it has not found any. On the earth, most met
54、hane is produced by plants or animals. Methane on Mars might indicate that some type of tiny plants or animals lived there.Curiosity is the fourth robotic vehicle to be sent to Mars.

58、ientists get useful information from Mars.【参考答案解析】C【要点综述】 本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了“好奇号”机器人探索火星的最新情况。1C根据第二段的“after travelling through space for more than eight months.”可知答案。2D根据第五段的“Curiosity also found smooth stones like the ones found on river beds and seashores on the earth, where their rough edges have been worn down by water.”可直接得出答案。3A根据第五段可知，这些光滑的石头原先粗糙的边角会被磨平，就是因为水冲击的原因。石头不会被冲走，只有边角被磨平，所以在原地的是“光滑的石头”。4B根据第六段可知，如果有甲烷，就表示火星上有植物或动物存在的可能。但是“好奇号”到现在为止都没有在火星上找到甲烷，可见火星上至少现在是没有植物或动物的。5D根据文章的第一段可知答案。
