高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

An Australian man who has been donating his extremely rare kind of blood for 56 years has saved the lives of more than two million babies.

James Harrison has an antibody in his plasma（血浆）that stops babies dying from Rhesus disease, a form of severe anaemia. He has enabled countless mothers to give birth to healthy babies, including his own daughter, Tracey, who had a healthy son thanks to her father's blood.

Mr. Harrison has been giving blood every few weeks since he was 18 years old and has now racked up a total of 984 donations. When he started donating, his blood was deemed so special that his life was insured for one million Australian dollars.

He was also nicknamed the “man with the golden arm” or the “man in two million”. He said, “I've never thought about stopping. Never!” He made a pledge to be a donor aged 14 after undergoing major chest surgery in which he needed 13 liters of blood. “I was in hospital for three months,” he said. “The blood I received saved my life so I made a pledge to give blood when I was 18.”

Just after he started donating he was found to have the rare and life-saving antibody in his blood. At the time, thousands of babies in Australia were dying each year of Rhesus disease. Other newborns suffered permanent brain damage because of the condition. The disease creates an incompatibility between the mother's blood and her unborn baby's blood. It stems from one having Rh-positive blood and the other Rh-negative.

His blood has since led to the development of a vaccine called Anti-D. After his blood type was discovered, Mr. Harrison volunteered to undergo a series of tests to help develop the Anti-D vaccine. “They insured me for a million dollars so I knew my wife Barbara would be taken care of,” he said. “I wasn't scared. I was glad to help. I had to sign every form going and basically sign my life away.”

Mr. Harrison is Rh-negative and was given injections of Rh-positive blood. It was found his plasma could treat the condition and since then it has been given to hundreds of thousands of women. It has also been given to babies after they are born to stop them developing the disease.

It is estimated he has helped save 2.2 million babies so far. Mr. Harrison is still donating every few weeks now.

1.What does the underlined phrase “two million” refer to?

A．mothers          B．babies            C．dollars            D．blood

2.Why did James decide to donate his blood? Because _____.

A．his daughter asked him to help her son

B．he has a golden arm worth a million dollars

C．a vaccine called Anti-D is to be developed

D．someone else’s blood saved his life

3.The sentence “The disease creates an incompatibility between the mother's blood and her unborn baby's blood” (underlined in Paragraph 5) suggests that _____.

A．the mother and the baby have different types of blood

B．babies suffer permanent brain damage before born

C．Rhesus disease contributes to permanent brain damage

D．all the patients have a rare antibody in their blood

4.What can we infer from the sixth paragraph?

A．His wife Barbara needed to be taken care of badly then.

B．Mr. Harrison was not glad to help develop a new vaccine.

C．Some of the tests to develop the vaccine are dangerous.

D．His blood type was accidentally discovered after tests

高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

James Harrison is called “The Man with the Golden Arm”. The Australian man has saved the lives of more than 2.4 million babies by donating blood nearly every week for 60 years.

At the age of 14, Harrison had an 11-hour operation to remove a lung. “ I received 13 units(liters) of blood and my life had been saved by unknown people,” Harrison said. “When I’m old enough, I’ll become a blood donor.”

That is exactly what Harrison did. Soon afterwards, doctors told him that his blood contains a rare antibody that could help mothers who have rhesus disease, a condition where a pregnant woman’s blood attacks the blood cells of her fetus(胎儿). In worst cases, it can result in brain damager or death for the baby, and until about 1967, thousands of babies were dying each year in Australia.

Before long, researchers had developed an injection(注射剂), called Anti-D, using Harrison’s donated blood. Because about 17 percent of pregnant women in Australia require the Anti-D injections, the blood service estimates Harrison has helped 2.4 million babies in the country. At age of 81, he had already passed the age limit allowed for donors, and the blood service had decided　　 Harrison should stop donating to protect his health.

Harrison was awarded the Australian Medal of Honor in recognition of his extraordinary efforts and generosity, but he doesn’t consider himself a hero. He’s now donated his blood 1,173 times, which gained him a Guinness World Record. But in all those times of giving blood, he’s never once watched. “I look at the ceiling or the nurses, maybe talk to them a bit. I can’t stand the sight of blood, and I can’t stand pain.”

1.What contributed to Harrison’s becoming a blood donor?

A.The rare antibody in his blood B.His gratitude to the blood donors

C.The request from the blood service D.His pain during the removal of his lung

2.What’s Anti-D used to do？

A.Save babies by giving them injection B.Protect babies from common illness

C.Cure pregnant mothers with rhesus disease D.Prevent women’s blood from being attacked

3.What does Harrison hold the Guinness World Record for?

A.The age among blood donors B.The amount of blood he donated

C.The number of donations he made D.The number of babies he saved by donating

4.What does the author think of Harrison?

A.He is kind and curious B.He is generous and modest

C.He is selfless and shy D.He is sympathetic and cautious
