S. hospital patients each year, making them a leading cause of death nationwide, according to a report in the Journal of the

35、 American Medical Association. “The incidence (发 生率 ) of serious and fatal adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in US hospitals was found to be extremely high,“ say researchers at the University of Toronto in Ontario, Canada. They carried out an analysis of 39 ADR-related studies at US hospitals over the p

36、ast 30 years and defined an ADR as “any harmful, unintended, and undesired effect of a drug which occurs at doses (剂量 ) used in humans for medical treatment.“ An average 6.7% of all hospitalized patients experience an ADR every year, according to the researchers. They estimate that “in 1994, overall

37、 2,216,000 hospitalized patients had serious ADRs, and 106,000 had fatal ADRs.“ This means that ADRs may rank as the fourth single largest cause of death in America. The control of ADRs also means spending more money. One US study estimated the overall cost of treating ADRs at up to 4 billion per ye

38、ar. Dr David Bates of Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, believes that healthcare workers need to pay more attention to the problem, especially since many ADRs are easily preventable. “When a patient develops an allergy (过敏症 ) or sensitivity, it is often not recorded,“ Bates notes

39、, “and patients receive drug to which they have known allergies or sensitivities with disturbing frequency.“ He believes special computerized systems-still work-in-progress at many of the nations hospitals-should help cut down the frequency of these types of errors. 61 Who wrote the report in the Am

40、erican journal? （ A） The American Medical Association. （ B） Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston. （ C） Doctors at an American hospital. （ D） Researchers at a Canadian university. 62 What does the word “fatal“ (Para. 2 & 4) mean in the passage? （ A） Resulting in death. （ B） Lucky. （ C） Leading to ha

41、ppiness. （ D） Worried. 63 Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? （ A） ADRs cause a lot of Americans to die every year. （ B） The control of ADRs costs huge amount of money. （ C） Only hospitalized patients may experience ADRs. （ D） ADRs are one of the leading causes of death in U

42、S. 64 What does Dr. Bates mainly imply in what he says? （ A） ADRs can be easily identified and prevented. （ B） Healthcare workers are too busy to notice ADRs. （ C） Hospitals may use computers to prevent ADRs. （ D） Doctors and nurses are partly responsible for ADRs. 65 Which of the following might be

43、 the best title for the passage? （ A） Adverse Drug Reactions-A Major Cause of Death （ B） Adverse Drug Reactions Are Medical Errors （ C） Doctors and Adverse Drug Reactions （ D） High Incidence of Adverse Drug Reactions Passage Two 65 If U. S. software companies dont pay more attention to quality, they

44、 could kiss their business good-bye. Both India and Brazil are developing a world-class software industry. Their weapon is quality and one of their jobs is to attract the top U. S. quality specialists whose voices are not listened to in their country. Already, of the worlds 12 software houses that h

45、ave earned the highest rating in the world, seven are in India. Thats largely because they have used new methodologies (方法论 ) rejected by American software specialists. For example, for decades, quality specialists, W. Edwards Deming and J. M. Juran had urged U. S. software companies to change their

46、 attitudes to quality. But their quality call mainly fell on deaf ears in the U. S., but not in Japan. By the 1970s and 1980s, Japan was grabbing market share with better, cheaper products. They used Demings and Jurans ideas to bring down the cost of good quality to as little as 5% of total producti

47、on costs. In U. S. factories, the cost of quality then was 10 times as high: 50%. In software, it still is. Watts S. Humphrey spent 27 years at IBM heading up software production and then quality assurance. But his advice was seldom paid attention to. He retired from IBM in 1986. In 1987, he worked

48、out a system for assessing (评估 ) and improving software quality. It has proved its value time and again. For example, in 1990 the cost of quality at Raytheon Electronics Systems was almost 60% of total software production costs. It fell to 15% in 1996 and has since further dropped to below 10%. So,

49、like Deming and Juran, Humphrey seems to be winning more praises overseas than at home. Lets hope that U.S. lead in software will not be eaten up by its quality problems. 66 Which countries respected Demings and Jurans ideas according to the passage? （ A） India and Brazil. （ B） India and Japan. （ C） U. S. and Japan. （ D） Japan an
