知识点3：阅读理解题——常规篇（5道题）

Many healthy Americans take a baby aspirin every day to reduce their risk of having a heart attack, getting cancer and even possibly dementia. But is it really a good idea? Results released recently from a major study of low-dose aspirin contain a disappointing answer for older, otherwise healthy people. “We found there was no discernible benefit of aspirin on prolonging independent, healthy life for the elderly,” says Anne Murray, a geriatrician and epidemiologist at Hennepin Healthcare in Minneapolis, who helped lead the study. The study involved more than 19,000 people aged 65 and older in the United States and Australia. The results were published in three papers in the New England Journal of Medicine.

?There is still strong evidence that a daily baby aspirin can reduce the risk that many people who have already suffered a heart attack or stroke will suffer another attack. And there is some evidence that daily low-dose aspirin may help people younger than 70 who have at least a 10 percent risk of having a heart attack avoid a heart attack or stroke, according to the latest recommendations from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.

But for older, healthy people, “the risks outweigh the benefits for taking low-dose aspirin,” Murray says. The primary risk is bleeding. The study confirmed that a daily baby aspirin increases the risk for serious, potentially life-threatening bleeding.

Surprisingly, those who took daily aspirin also appeared to be more likely to die overall, apparently from an increased risk of getting cancer. That was especially unexpected given previous evidence that aspirin might reduce the risk for colorectal cancer. The researchers stressed, however, that the cancer finding might have been a coincidence. There’s also a possibility that any colorectal cancer benefit wasn’t seen because the subjects had only been followed for about five years.

Regardless, the findings raise serious questions as to whether otherwise healthy older people should routinely take low-dose aspirin.

“We were hoping that an inexpensive, very accessible medication might be something that we could recommend to elderly to maintain their independence but also decrease their risk of cardiovascular disease,” Murray says.

But based on the findings, Dr. Evan Hadley of the National Institute on Aging, says any elderly people taking aspirin or thinking about it should think twice. “This gives pause and a reason for older people and their physician to think carefully about the decision whether to take low-dose aspirin regularly or not,” Hadley says. “And in many cases the right answer may be: Not.”

16.【答案】B。解析：推断题。题干问最近的研究有何发现？文章第一段就是对相关研究的介绍，But后是答案所在处。根据… low-dose aspirin contain a disappointing answer for older, otherwise healthy people. “We found there was no discernible benefit of aspirin on prolonging independent, healthy life for the elderly,”…可知每日服用少量的阿司匹林对于健康的老年人有不利影响。四个选项中只有B项与之一致。故答案选B。

17.【答案】D。解析：细节题。题干问对于哪个年龄段的人每日服用少剂量的阿司匹林是有益的？根据题干信息定位到文章第二段..And there is some evidence that daily low-dose aspirin may help people younger than 70 …可知对于70岁以下有患心脏病风险的人，服用少量阿司匹林可能有助于避免心脏病发作或中风，也就是对于70岁以下的人，服用阿司匹林可能是有益的。故答案为D。

18.【答案】D。解析：细节题。题干问老年人服用少量阿司匹林的潜在风险可能是什么？根据题干定位到文章第三段But for older, healthy people, “the risks outweigh the benefits for taking low-dose aspirin,” Murray says. The primary risk is bleeding.可知，老年人服用阿司匹林的主要风险就是出血。故答案为D。

19.【答案】C。解析：细节题。题干问：Anne Murray向老年人推荐什么来保持健康。定位到文章倒数第二段，该段提到：Murray说：我们希望能有一种便宜的、容易获得的药物，我们可以向老年人推荐，以保持他们的独立性，同时降低他们患心血管疾病的风险。由此可知答案选C。

20.【答案】C。解析：态度题。题干问：Evan Hadley对老年人服用阿司匹林持什么态度。根据题干关键词Evan Hadley定位到文章最后一段，根据该段中的any elderly people taking aspirin or thinking about it should think twice.和“And in many cases the right answer may be: Not.”可知Evan Hadley是不赞成老年人服用阿司匹林的。故答案选C。
