GRE阅读题目解析:氟化物抗牙齿腐化

2017-04-13 09:17:00来源:网络

  P3

  1

  The success of fluoride in combating dental decay is well established and, without a doubt, socially beneficial.

  氟化物已经被公认,能够有效对抗牙齿腐化,显然这对整个社会都有益。

  2

  However, fluoride's toxic properties have been known for a century.

  而早在一个世纪以前,氟化物就被发现具有毒性。

  3

  In humans excessive intake (for adults, over 4 milligrams per day) over many years can lead to skeletal fluorosis, a well-defined skeletal disorder, and in some plant species, fluoride is more toxic than ozone, sulfur dioxide, or pesticides.

  人类如果常年过量摄入(对成人来说,每天超过 4 mg)氟化物会导致氟骨病,一种已经被清晰描述的骨骼异常,对于一些植物种属,氟化物的毒性超过臭氧,二氧化硫,或农药。

  4

  Some important questions remain.

  仍有一些重要问题有待回答。

  5

  For example, the precise lower limit at which the fluoride content of bone becomes toxic is still undetermined.

  比如说,骨骼中超过一定比例的氟化物表现出毒性,更精确的临界点仍未测定。

  (前文说了成人 4 mg 的标准,但现在根据 precise lower limit,我们有理由怀疑 4 mg per day 这个数值不够精确,也许 3.9 已经可以表现出毒性了。)

  6

  And while fluoride intake from water and air can be evaluated relatively easily, it is much harder to estimate how much a given population ingests from foodstuffs because of the wide variations in individual eating habits and in fluoride concentrations in foodstuffs.

  而且,尽管通过水和空气摄取的氟化物的量相对容易估算,但特定人群通过食物摄取的氟化物的数量较难估算,因为每个人的饮食习惯各异,而不同食物中的氟化物浓度也不同。

  6. The passage suggests that it would be easier to calculate fluoride intake from food if

  ○A adequate diets were available for most people.

  ○B individual eating habits were more uniform

  ○C the fluoride content of food was more varied

  ○D more people were aware of the fluoride content of food

  ○E methods for measuring the fluoride content of food were more generally agreed on

  选 B

  根据句 6 :

  ……it is much harder to estimate how much a given population ingests from foodstuffs because of the wide variations in individual eating habits……

  7. One function of the second paragraph(句4,5,6) of the passage is to

  ○A raise doubts about fluoride's toxicity

  ○B introduce the issue of fluoride's toxicity

  ○C differentiate a toxic from a nontoxic amount of fluoride

  ○D indicate that necessary knowledge of fluoride remains incomplete

  ○E discuss the foodstuffs that are most likely to contain significant concentrations of fluoride

  选 D

  暗示,关于氟化物的一些必要知识,还有待补充。

  For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply

  8.The passage suggests which of the following about the effect of fluoride on humans?

  □A The effect of fluoride intake from water and air is relatively difficult to monitor.

  □B An intake of 4 milligrams over a long period of time usually leads to a skeletal disorder in humans.

  □C An intake of slightly more than 4 milligrams for only a few months is not likely to be life-threatening.

  选 C

  A 错。文章从头到尾都没有讨论过不同途径吸收的氟化物,有什么不同的 effect 。

  B 错。没有 per day ,如果只是某一天 4mg ,又过了很长一段时间,应该不至于有什么问题。句 3 告诉我们,不但要 per day,而且要 over many years。

  于是只能选 C。
