河北省邯郸市2016高考英语完形填空和阅读理解一轮练习（13）
阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
People who are taking aspirin regularly to thin their blood and are about to undergo coronary artery bypass surgery (冠状动脉旁路搭桥术) are usually to stop the aspirin a week before the operation – but they could be better off if they keep taking it.
Taking aspirin up to the day coronary artery bypass grafting (移植) is performed seems to speed lung function recovery afterwards, without increasing the risk of bleeding significantly, according to a report from Israel.
Release of a substance called thromboxane (血栓素) is associated with lung injury after heart bypass grafting, Dr Rabin Gerrah at Assuta Medical Center in Tel Aviv and his colleagues explained in the medical journal Chest. Aspirin is believed to inhibit release of thromboxane, so Gerrah’s group theorized that the administration of aspirin until the day of the surgery could improve outcomes.
They therefore followed 14 patients who took 100 milligrams of aspirin daily until the day of the surgery and 18 who stopped taking aspirin at least 7 days before the surgery.
Those who continued with their aspirin had significantly lower thromboxane in fluid around the heart, better oxygen levels in their blood and spent less time on a ventilator(呼吸器) than the group who discontinued taking aspirin.
On the other hand, the need for blood transfusions was no different between the groups, indicating that bleeding complications were no worse with aspirin.
The researchers had excluded patients who had suffered a heart attack and those with heart failure because patients like these have a higher level of thrombaxane. “They will probably benefit even more than its inhibition.”

社会生活类阅读理解
As students and teachers returned to school on Monday after the publication of performance ratings(等级) for 18,000 teachers, many parents said they were giving the reports serious thought. Yet there was an equal measure of skepticism among parents that tests cores have any relationship with teachers’ competence.
Some said they already knew how good a teacher was by walking into the classroom or by monitoring their children’s progress. “I’m the kind of person who likes to see for themselves,” a father in Queens said.
Others worried about how their fellow parents, perhaps ones with sharper elbows, might respond.Will they demand a new teacher? Move their children to a new school?
Elizabeth Sane, the mother of a fourth grader at the Ella Baker School, a kinder garten-through-eighth-grade school on the Upper East Side, said that her daughter was switched to a different teacher’s class over the summer, and that it was “like adding salt to the wound” when she saw the high ratings for her daughter’s previous teacher.

Her daughter’s teacher this year did not receive a rating because he previously taught high school.
Ms. Sane said that the rating was not the only factor that influenced how she assessed a teacher’s performance, but that the data used for teacher evaluations mattered.
But other parents dropping their children off at the Ella Baker School said they did not trust teacher ratings based on test scores any more than they wanted their children’s learning measured only by the state exams.
“Some people take it as the final word, but it doesn’t change who they are as teachers. The ratings aren’t accurate, and the whole student testing thing needs to be thrown out,”said Lydia Delga do, whose child is in the second grade.
41.Paragraph 1 tells us that_______________.
A. all the teachers received a rating given by the students
B. all the teachers will receive a rating at the end of each semester
C. most parents took the teachers’ ratings seriously
D. about half of the parents doubted the ratings to be reliable
42.What does the underlined part “with sharper elbows” mean?
A. With the ability to change the situation.
B. With a good relationship with the school.
C. With a stong will tosucceed.
D. With strong elbows physically.
