考题 The 2014 Ebola outbreak is the largest in history and the first Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Although the current epidemic does not cause a significant risk to other nations, many countries, including China and the United States of America, have actually been working closely with the Ebola hit states. For example, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is taking precautions at home besides its activities abroad.CDCs team of “virus hunters” is supported by specialized public health teams both in West Africa and at the CDC Atlanta headquarters. Together, they offer continuous support to save lives and protect people. CDC works closely with a number of U.S. government agencies, national and international partners. CDCs experience of working with Ebola is important to the World Health Organizations growing West Africa Ebola response.On Sept. 2, 2014, CDC Director, Tom Frieden called for more international partners to join this effort. “The sooner the world comes together to help West Africa, the safer we all will be. We know how to stop this outbreak. There is a window of opportunity to do so the challenge is to scale up the massive response needed to stop this outbreak.”CDCs response to Ebola is the largest international outbreak response in CDCs history with over 100 disease specialists on the ground in West Africa, supported by hundreds of public health emergency response experts stateside , activated at Level 1, its highest level, because of the significance of this outbreak.The CDC supports affected countries to establish Emergency Operations Centers at national and local levels and helps countries track the epidemic including using real-time data to improve real-time response.Efforts in West Africa to identify those infected and track people who have come into contact with them are improving. The CDC is operating and supporting labs in the region to improve diagnosis and testing samples from people with suspected Ebola from around the world. Local health care systems are strengthened through communication, coordination with partners and training on infection control for health care workers and safe patient treatment.26. How could we describe the 2014 Ebola outbreak?A. The first one in western countries.B. It did not ever threaten West Africa.C. Not the first but the largest one.27. The 2014 Ebola outbreak response was()?A. an American stateside activity.B. an international activity.C. a regional activity.28. What does the underlined word “massive” mean in Paragraph 3?A. huge.B. quick.C. urgent29. How many disease specialists from CDC have gone to West Africa for the Ebola response?A. Less than 100.B. A hundred.C. More than 100.30. What action does CDC take to respond to the large Ebola outbreak?A. Work closely with governmental, national and international partners.B.

To date,there are only three major countries in West Africa experiencing a major outbreak: Sierra Leone,Liberia and Guinea. However,other countries such as Nigeria have reported con-firmed cases of Ebola within their borders.3. Unless you recently visited one of the three affected West countries you risk of contracting the virus is virtually zero.Unlike other recent airborne virus outbreaks like SARS,the Ebola virus can only be spread through direct contact with an infected person.Specifically,Ebola is spread through contact with body fluids .Though the virus is transmittable,only an infected person exhib-iting symptoms is communicable.4. The signs and symptoms of Ebola are non-specific and patients typically exhibit them after a week of contracting the virus.Symptoms may appear as early as two days or as late as three weeks after initial infection.Symptoms include disgust,weakness and stomach pain.More uncommon symptoms include chest pain,bleeding and sore throat.5.Ebola is devastating because of its ability to attack and replicate in every organ of the body. This causes an overstimulation of the body's inflammatory response,causing the flu-like symp- toms.

考题 共用题干 第二篇 New U. S. Plan for Disease PreventionUrging Americans to take responsibility for their health,Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson on Tuesday launched a $15 million program to try to encourage communities to do more to prevent chronic diseases like heart disease,cancer and diabetes（糖尿病）.The initiative highlights the costs of chronic diseases一the leading causes of death in the United States一and outlines ways that people can prevent them,including better diet and increased exercise."In the United States today,7 of 10 deaths and the vast majority of serious illness, disability and health care costs are caused by chronic diseases,"the Health and Human Services department said in a statement.The causes are often behavioral一smoking,poor eating habits and a lack of exercise."I am convinced that preventing disease by promoting better health is a smart policy choice for our future,"Thompson told a conference held to launch the initiative."Our current health care system is not structured to deal with the rising costs of treating diseases that are largely preventable through changes in our lifestyle choices."Thompson said heart disease and strokes will cost the country more than $351 billion in 2003."These leading causes of death for men and women are largely preventable,yet we as a nation are not taking the steps necessary for us to lead healthier,longer lives,"he said.The $15 million is designed to go to communities to promote prevention,pushing for changes as simple as building sidewalks to encourage people to walk more.Daily exercise such as walking can prevent and even reverse heart disease and diabetes,and prevent cancer and strokes.The money will also go to community organizations,clinics and nutritionists who are being encouraged to work together to educate people at risk of diabetes about what they can do to prevent it and encourage more cancer screening.The American Cancer Society estimates that half of all cancers can be caught by screening, including Pap tests（巴 氏实验）for cervical（子宫颈的）cancer, mammograms（乳房X线照片）for breast cancer, colonoscopies（结肠镜检查）,and prostate（前列腺的）checks.If such cancers were all caught by early screening,the group estimates that the survival rate for cancer would rise to 95 percent.Which of the following is NOT true of chronic diseases in the US?A: They account for 70% of all deaths.B: They are responsible for most of the health care costs.C:They often result in unhealthy lifestyles.D:They are largely preventable.

考题 Text 2 As lawmakers fight over what conditions insurance companies should be required to cover,other areas of health-care reform remain painfully neglected.One major example:How much should insurance companies pay for what they cover?Consumers rarely care about health-care prices beyond what they personally pay for deductibles,co-payments and prescription drugs.But insurance payments are crucial to understanding why health-care prices have gotten so out of control in the United States.A new study published in JAMA Internal Medicine makes this abundantly clear:Hospital emergency departments across the country are prone to excessively overcharge patients with private insurance,the study found,demanding that patients pay-on average-more than four times what Medicare pays for typical emergency procedures.This is not the heritage of sound medicine.This is the outcome of an extremely complicated and disjointed health-care system-and it's not necessarily the result of greedy hospitals trying to milk large profits out of vulnerable populations.Instead,it's the result of messy provider networks-rife with discounts and confusing contracts,designed by insurance companies and providers to attract customers.There are policy solutions to correct this system.Maryland,for example,has long operated under an"all-payer system"in which everyone pays the same rate for the same treatment-set by an independent state agency.Under this system,Medicare pays higher rates for care than in other states,but in the long run,it saves money-to the tune of$319 million-because the payment system incentivizes hospitals to reduce the number of people they admit.In other words,it encourages payment for quality of care,not quantity.Health-care providers have an incentive to work more closely with nursing facilities to deliver preventive care.Physicians also work more closely with patients to reduce preventable complications and hospital readmissions,which have dropped in Maryland faster than the national average in recent years.This innovative approach to solving price disparities in health-care costs is refreshing,although what works in Maryland might not work everywhere else.But other states have also passed laws to reduce price variation in health care,particularly for uninsured and low-income patients who would be most harmed by surprise medical bills.Unfortunately,reform efforts led by Republicans in Congress will likely worry the health-care industry enough to threaten state-led initiatives.Uncertainty-especially in terms of what our insurance markets will look like a year from now-makes it difficult,if not impossible,for states to experiment with different policies.That's a shame,because that's where the exciting and innovative reforms are happening. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.Uncertainty in the Health-Care Industry B."All-Payer System"in Maryland C.The Health-Care Reform Ignored D.Medicare vs.Private Insurance

考题 共用题干 第一篇Exercise Lowers Employers' Health CostsCompanies can save millions in health-care costs simply by encouraging their employees to exercise a little bit,researchers reported on Friday.They said obese（肥胖的）employees had higher health-care costs , but lowered those expenses by exercising just a couple of times a week一without even losing any weight.Feifei Wang and colleagues at the University of Michigan studied 23,500 workers at General Motors.They estimated that getting the most sedentary (惯于久坐的）obese workers to exercise would have saved about$790,000 a year,or about 1.5 percent of health-care costs for the whole group.Company-wide,the potential savings could reach$7.1million per year,they reported in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.Of the whole group of workers,about 30 percent were of normal weight,45 percent were overweight（超重的）,and 25 percent were obese. Annual health-care costs averaged$2,200 for normal weight,$2,400 for the overweight,and$2,700 for obese employees.But among workers who did no exercise,health-care costs went up by at least $100 a year,and were $3,000 a year for obese employees who were sedentary.But adding two or more days of light exercise一at least 20 minutes of exercise or work hard enough to increase heart rate and breathing一lowered costs by on average$500 per employee a year,the researchers found."This indicates that physical activity behavior could reduce at least some of the harmful effects of excess body fat,and in consequence,help lower the health-care costs,"Wang and colleagues wrote. How can employees help lower the health-care costs?A:By taking more rest. B:By eating less.C:By exercising a little bit. D:By saving more money.

考题 共用题干 第三篇Global Cancer Rates to Rise by 50% by 2020The number of new cancer cases worldwide is expected to increase by 50%by the year 2020.But a new report suggests that as many as a third of new cancers could be avoided by adopting healthier lifestyles and through public health action.The World Cancer Report,released by the International Agency for Research on Cancer,shows that cancer has now emerged as a major public health threat in developing countries as well as rich ones.Overall,cancer was responsible for 12%of all deaths in 2000.But in many countries more than a quarter of all deaths are caused by cancer.The report shows that 1 0 million new cancers were diagnosed globally in 2000,and that number is expected to rise to 15 million by 2020.Researchers say most of that increase will mainly be due to steadily aging populations in both developed and developing countries and current trends in smoking and other unhealthy habits."Cancer has emerged as a major public health problem in developing countries for the first time, matching its effect in industrialized（工业化的）countries , " said researcher Paul Kleihues,MD,director of IARC,in a news release."Once considered a'Western' disease,the Report highlights that more than 50 percent of the world's cancer burden,in terms of both numbers of cases and deaths,already occurs in developing countries."The risk of being diagnosed with cancer in developed countries is double that in less-developed ones.However,the risk of dying from cancer is much higher in developing countries , where 80% of cancer patients already have late-stage incurable tumors（肿瘤） at the time of diagnosis.Researchers say cancer rates have traditionally been higher in developed countries due to greater exposure to tobacco,occupational carcinogens（致癌物）,and an unhealthy Western diet and lifestyle.As less-developed countries become industrialized and more prosperous,they tend to adopt the high-fat diet and low physical activity levels typically seen in the West,which increase cancer rates. Which of the following statements is NOT correct?A:There were 1 0 million cancer patients worldwide in 2000.B:Generally,cancer accounted for 12% of all deaths in 2000.C:Cancer is the cause of over 25%of all deaths in many countries.D:It is expected that global cancer rates will go up by 50%by 2020.
