Passage Three

In recent years, non‑invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) has emerged as a new therapeutic option for alcohol use disorder and other substance‑related and addictive disorders. NIBS methods have also showed promising results for the treatment of tobacco use disorder, but little is known about the efficacy of NIBS on sustained tobacco abstinence.
A team of researchers from the University Hospital of Dijon, in France, conducted a systematic review and meta‑analysis to assess the effectiveness of NIBS for long‑term smoking cessation.
The two commonly used forms of NIBS are transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). TDCS sends a low‑intensity direct current through the brain using electrodes placed on the patient’s scalp. The weak electrical current modulates neuronal excitability. TMS uses a metallic coil placed against the patient’s scalp. The coil generates magnetic pulses which induce brief electric currents in the cortical tissue. Depending on the frequency of the pulses, the excitability of the targeted area is either increased or decreased.
The team searched several scientific databases for randomized controlled trials of NIBS on adult smokers seeking smoking cessation, with follow‑up of more than 4 weeks and then combined the results to measure the overall effect of NIBS on smoking cessation. Seven studies were included, yielding 699 patients in total. In all included studies, the control groups received sham NIBS and only data from 3 to 6 months were analyzable. By pooling the 7 included studies, the risk ratio of sustained abstinence of any form of NIBS relative to sham NIBS was 2.39, meaning smokers who received NIBS had a 2.39‑times‑higher likelihood of long‑term smoking abstinence than smokers who received sham NIBS.
Lead author Dr. Benjamin Petit says, “While our review appears modest, with only seven included studies, a low confidence level and a substantial inter‑study variability, the results appear to be robust and we feel confident in suggesting that NIBS is a technique for both short‑term and sustained smoking cessation. In addition, we identified several scientific trials currently underway in this particular field. In the near future, NIBS might be recognized as a promising new option for assisting individuals who wish to stop smoking.”

11. What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. All addictive disorders can be cured with NIBS.

B. The sustained efficacy of NIBS remains uncertain.

C. NIBS is only effective for alcohol use disorder.

D. NIBS is limited to short‑term tobacco abstinence.

12. Which of the following is TRUE about tDCS and TMS?

A. TDCS uses magnetic pulses, while TMS uses electrical currents.

B. TMS is superior to tDCS for treating nicotine addiction.

C. Both methods modulate brain excitability.

D. Both methods require surgical implantation.

13. What is the primary conclusion of the systematic review?

A. NIBS may double the likelihood of long‑term tobacco abstinence.

B. NIBS has no significant effect on smoking cessation.

C. Sustained abstinence from smoking would be impracticable.

D. Tobacco abstinence generally lasts 3‑6 months.

14. What does Dr. Petit imply about future research on NIBS for smoking cessation?

A. Current evidence is sufficient for widespread clinical adoption.

B. NIBS should be abandoned due to high bias in existing studies

C. Ongoing trials may solidify NIBS as a viable cessation tool.

D. Short‑term abstinence is the only realistic goal for NIBS.

15. What is Dr. Petit’s attitude toward NIBS based on his statement?

A. Dismissive.

B. Cautiously optimistic.

C. Fully confident.

D. Skeptical.

答案速查: 11.B       12.C       13.A       14.C         15.B

【内容梗概】

本文介绍法国科研团队经荟萃分析,发现非侵入性脑刺激能够大幅提升吸烟者长期戒烟的成功率,有望成为新式戒烟手段。

【参考译文】

近些年来,非侵入性脑刺激(NIBS)已然成为治疗酒精使用障碍以及其他物质相关成瘾类疾病的新型手段。非侵入性脑刺激疗法用于医治烟草成瘾已经展现出不错的成效,但该技术对于长期维持戒烟状态的作用,人们依旧知之甚少。
法国第戎大学医院的一组研究人员开展了一项系统综述与荟萃分析,以此评估非侵入性脑刺激实现长期戒烟的效果。
非侵入性脑刺激有两种常见类型:经颅直流电刺激(tDCS)和经颅磁刺激(TMS)。经颅直流电刺激依靠安置在患者头皮之上的电极,向大脑输送低强度直流电。微弱电流能够调节神经元的兴奋程度。经颅磁刺激则使用贴于患者头皮的金属线圈;线圈产生磁脉冲,继而在大脑皮层组织当中诱发短暂电流。依据脉冲频率的不同,靶向区域的神经兴奋性可以被调高或者调低。
该团队检索多个科研数据库,搜集针对有意戒烟成年吸烟者开展的非侵入性脑刺激随机对照试验,试验随访时长超过四周,之后整合试验结果,测算该疗法戒烟的整体作用。一共纳入七项研究,受试者共计699人。全部对照组均接受假性非侵入性脑刺激,仅有3‑6个月区间的数据可供分析。整合七项研究数据后,相较于假性刺激组,接受正规非侵入性脑刺激人群持续戒烟风险比为2.39,代表接受该疗法的吸烟者长期成功戒烟的概率高出对照组2.39倍。
第一作者本杰明·佩蒂博士说道:“本次研究所纳入的试验仅有七项,样本规模有限、证据置信度偏低,各项研究之间数据差异明显,可试验结果依旧稳定可靠。我们有充足依据证明非侵入性脑刺激可用于短期以及长期戒烟干预。除此之外,现阶段该领域还有多项科研试验正在推进。在不久的将来,非侵入性脑刺激有望成为帮助戒烟人群、具备发展前景的全新方案。”

【题目精析】

11. What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. All addictive disorders can be cured with NIBS.

B. The sustained efficacy of NIBS remains uncertain.

C. NIBS is only effective for alcohol use disorder.

D. NIBS is limited to short‑term tobacco abstinence.

【精析】细节理解题。题干问的是“从第一段中能了解到什么”。第一段提到NIBS对于长期维持戒烟状态的作用,人们依旧知之甚少。说明其长期疗效的不确定性。B选项“非侵入性脑刺激的长期疗效依旧不确定”,与原文相符。

12. Which of the following is TRUE about tDCS and TMS?

A. TDCS uses magnetic pulses, while TMS uses electrical currents.

B. TMS is superior to tDCS for treating nicotine addiction.

C. Both methods modulate brain excitability.

D. Both methods require surgical implantation.

【精析】细节理解题。题干问的是“关于tDCS和TMS的说法哪个正确”。利用题干信息“tDCS”和“TMS”定位到原文第三段。文中提到tDCS依靠安置在患者头皮之上的电极,微弱电流能够调节神经元的兴奋程度。TMS则使用贴于患者头皮的金属线圈产生磁脉冲。依据脉冲频率的不同,靶向区域的神经兴奋性可以被调高或者调低。说明二者都能调节大脑兴奋性。C选项“这两种方法都能调节大脑的兴奋性”与原文相符。

13. What is the primary conclusion of the systematic review?

A. NIBS may double the likelihood of long‑term tobacco abstinence.

B. NIBS has no significant effect on smoking cessation.

C. Sustained abstinence from smoking would be impracticable.

D. Tobacco abstinence generally lasts 3‑6 months.

【精析】细节理解题。题干问的是“系统评价的主要结论是什么”。根据关键词conclusion定位到第四段“By pooling the 7 included studies…”后就是此研究的结论。文中指出相较于假性刺激组,接受正规非侵入性脑刺激人群持续戒烟风险比为2.39,代表接受该疗法的吸烟者长期成功戒烟的概率高出对照组2.39倍。A选项“NIBS可能使长期戒烟的可能性翻倍”,与原文相符。

14. What does Dr. Petit imply about future research on NIBS for smoking cessation?

A. Current evidence is sufficient for widespread clinical adoption.

B. NIBS should be abandoned due to high bias in existing studies

C. Ongoing trials may solidify NIBS as a viable cessation tool.

D. Short‑term abstinence is the only realistic goal for NIBS.

【精析】推理判断题。题干问的是“佩蒂博士对未来NIBS戒烟研究暗示了什么”。利用关键词Dr. Petit定位到最后一段。佩蒂博士提到正在进行的试验认可了NIBS是帮助戒烟人群、具备发展前景的全新方案C选项“正在进行的试验可能会巩固NIBS作为可行的戒烟工具”,与原文相符。

15. What is Dr. Petit’s attitude toward NIBS based on his statement?

A. Dismissive.

B. Cautiously optimistic.

C. Fully confident.

D. Skeptical.

【精析】态度题。题干问的是“佩蒂博士的话表明他对NIBS的态度”。文章最后一段佩蒂博士提到虽然研究样本规模有限、证据置信度偏低,但结果依旧稳定可靠,对NIBS用于短期和长期戒烟有信心,说明他是持谨慎乐观的态度。Dismissive不屑一顾的, Skeptical持怀疑态度的Fully confident坚信的

阅读理解中的常见题型总结

态度题

态度类阅读理解题型主要用来判断作者对待事件的主观评价。该类考题有时需要考生总结作者看法,和主旨题出题形式相近,区别在于它只针对单个事件设置考点。常见设问形式如下:

1. Which of the following statement fits the writer’s standpoint best?

2. What viewpoint does the writer hold?

3. What is the writer’s feeling towards …?

4. The writer appears to support …

文章的写作目的通常分为三类:记叙文用以带给读者阅读体验,社会文化类文本侧重传递资讯,议论文主要劝导读者接纳相应观点。评判作者立场有着不少高频英文词汇:optimistic/pessimistic, positive/negative/indifferent, critical, suspicious, skeptical, sympathetic, empathetic,approval/disapproval, compromising, sarcastic. 当文段只陈列多方对立观点、客观陈述事实,不带入个人看法时,作者的态度便是客观中立(objective/neutral)。做阅读理解中的态度题需要先定位题干里被评价的对象,接着回到原文查找相关表述;需要着重留意转折关联词,转折之后的内容,才是作者真实的观点。

【词汇积累】

1. non‑invasive adj. 非侵入性的

2. stimulation n. 刺激

3. therapeutic adj. 治疗的

4. addictive adj. 成瘾的

5. efficacy n. 功效,疗效

6. cessation n. 停止,戒除

7. modulate v. 调节

8. abstinence   n.节制,戒酒,禁食

9. randomized adj. 随机的

10. robust adj. 可靠稳固的,强健的

11.sham  adj. 虚假的,假装的

12. variability   n. 可变性,变化性

【难句精讲】

By pooling the 7 included studies, the risk ratio of sustained abstinence of any form of NIBS relative to sham NIBS was 2.39, meaning smokers who received NIBS had a 2.39‑times‑higher likelihood of long‑term smoking abstinence than smokers who received sham NIBS.

1.状语   By pooling the 7 included studies

‑ by‑介词短语,作方式状语;

‑ pooling:动名词;the 7 included studies 动名词宾语;included为过去分词作后置定语,修饰studies,释义:被纳入的研究

2.主句  the risk ratio of sustained abstinence of any form of NIBS relative to sham NIBS was 2.39

(1) 主语:the risk ratio(风险比)

(2) 多层后置定语:

• of sustained abstinence 持续戒断(戒烟)的

• of any form of NIBS 任意形式非侵入脑刺激的

• relative to sham NIBS(介词短语)相对于假性脑刺激

(3) 系动词:was

(4) 表语:2.39

3.伴随状语(现在分词结构)‑ meaning 现在分词,承接主句结果,充当伴随状语,后面接完整宾语从句

meaning smokers who received NIBS had a 2.39‑times‑higher likelihood of long‑term smoking abstinence than smokers who received sham NIBS

宾语从句内部拆解

(1) 从句主句:smokers had a 2.39‑times‑higher likelihood

主语:smokers

定语:who received NIBS 限制性定语从句,修饰前面smokers(接受脑刺激的吸烟者)

谓语:had

宾语:a 2.39‑times‑higher likelihood

后置定语:of long‑term smoking abstinence 长期戒烟的(可能性)

(2) than‑比较状语分句 than smokers who received sham NIBS

‑ who received sham NIBS 定语从句修饰smokers,即接受假性刺激的吸烟者

整体逻辑

方式状语 → 主干陈述风险比数值 → 分词伴随结构解释该数值代表的含义,嵌套两层定语从句修饰两组受试人群。

参考译文
整合七项研究数据后,相较于假性刺激组,接受正规非侵入性脑刺激人群持续戒烟风险比为2.39,代表接受该疗法的吸烟者长期成功戒烟的概率高出对照组2.39倍。
