17.A new U.S.government report says more than two million Americans fall ill each year withdrug-resistant bacterial infections(感染),and 23,000of them are dying as a result.The head of the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention[CDC]said that the number probably will grow.Officials warn that steps must be taken now to preserve the effectiveness of antibiotic(抗生素)drugs.
Without urgent action to stop that trend,warned Tom Frieden whose agency wrote the report,the miracle drugs to fight them won't be available in the future.
"If we are not careful,the medicine chest will be empty when we go there to look for a lifesaving antibiotic for someone with a deadly infection.But if we act now,we can preserve these medications while we continue to work on development of new medicines."The report names a drug-resistant abuse of gonorrhea(淋病),which causes about one quarter of a million hospitalizations in the United States annually.Of the number at least 1 4,000result in death.
Drug resistance develops through the overuse and inappropriate use of anti-bacterial agents.These can be:doctors prescribing(开药) them to patients who have viral infections that are not affected by medicine meant to fight bacteria;patients not taking all of their medicine as prescribed,so the bacteria making them sick are only weakened,not killed;antibiotic use in healthy farm animals to prevent illness and promote growth.Antibiotic remainders left in meat and animal products can then lead to drug resistance in humans.
To limit the spread of resistant infections,experts recommend wider use of routine
immunizations(预防),as well as hand-washing in hospitals and other health care facilities.Also,the report urges hand-washing by food handlers.
Michael Bell,deputy director of the Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion at CDC,said Patients also can play a role in preserving the effectiveness of antibiotics by asking health care providers a few simple questions.
29.What's the best title of the passage?C
A.Drug Resistance Developing Quickly in the US
B.Drug-Resistant Bacterial Infections Growing in the US
C.Actions for Preserving Anti-Bacterial Medications in the US
D.Preventions of Drug-resistant Bacterial Infections in the US
30.According to Frieden,we must take measures without delay to preserve effectiveness of antibiotics,orB.
A.we will have to develop better medicines in place of antibiotics
B.there may be no effective anti-bacterial drugs for use in the future
C.we can't find other medicines to cure serious illnesses in the future
D.more and more Americans will suffer from bacterial infections each year
31.Of those patients admitted to the hospital because of a drug-resistant abuse of gonorrhea annually,deaths add up toA.
A.at least 5.6% B.about 25% C.about 1.4% D.at least 2.5%
32.One of the approaches through which drug resistance develops is thatA.
A.people eat the meat with Antibiotic remainder in animals
B.doctors prescribe less antibiotics than needed for patients
C.doctors prescribe much more antibiotic than needed for patients
D.patients don't take their ant-bacterial agents that doctors prescribe.
分析 本文介绍了人类滥用抗生素以及食用有抗生素产生耐药性的肉制品会使人体内产生抗药性,最终导致死亡的严重后果.从现在起人们应采用有效的行动防止这一后果的发生.
解答 CBAA
29.C 标题判断题:阅读文章内容可知全文在讲述人体内产生抗生素耐药性的严重后果,我们应采取有效行动防止这一后果的发生.故选C.
