在2023考研英語復(fù)習(xí)中，考研英語單詞的記憶是要貫穿于整個(gè)考研復(fù)習(xí)的始終的。試想，如果沒有扎實(shí)的考研英語詞匯功底，怎么去讀懂閱讀中的句子，怎樣寫出優(yōu)秀的作文呢?這樣勢(shì)必會(huì)影響到考研英語的整體做題效果。在此我們推薦通過閱讀整篇文章來提取其中的高頻詞匯和重點(diǎn)詞匯。同學(xué)們趕快來領(lǐng)略下吧!

　　To paraphrase 18th-century statesman Edmund Burke, all that is needed for the triumph of a misguided cause is that good people do nothing. One such cause now seeks to end biomedical research because of the theory that animals have rights ruling out their use in research. Scientists need to respond forcefully to animal rights advocates, whose arguments are confusing the public and thereby threatening advances in heath knowledge and care. Leaders of the animal rights movement target biomedical research because it depends on public funding, and few people understand the process of health care research. Hearing allegations of cruelty to animals in research settings, many are perplexed that anyone would deliberately harm an animal.

　　For example, a grandmotherly woman staffing an animal rights booth at a recent street fair was distributing a brochure that encouraged readers not to use anything that opposed immunizations; she wanted to know if vaccines come from animal research. When assured that they do, she replied, Then I would have to say yes. Asked what will happen when epidemics return, she said, Dont worry, scientists will find some way of using computers. Such well-meaning people just dons understand.

　　Scientists must communicate their message to the public in a compassionate, understandable way in human terms, not in the language of molecular biology. We need to make clear the connection between animal research and a grandmothers hip replacement, a fathers bypass operation, a babys vaccinations, and even a pets shots. To those who are unaware that animal research was needed to produce these treatments, as well as new treatments and vaccines, animal research seems wasteful at best and cruel at worst.

　　Much can be done. Scientists could adopt middle school classes and present their own research. They should be quick to respond to letters to the editor, lest animal rights misinformation go unchallenged and acquire a deceptive appearance of truth. Research institutions could be opened to tours; to show that laboratory animals receive humane care. Finally, because the ultimate stakeholders are patients, the health research community should actively recruit to its cause not only well-known personalities such as Stephen Cooper, who has made courageous statements about the value of animal research, but all who receive medical treatment. If good people do nothing there is a real possibility that an uninformed citizenry will extinguish the precious embers of medical progress.

　　為了解釋18世紀(jì)政治家愛蒙德伯克的話，被誤導(dǎo)的運(yùn)動(dòng)要想成功，所需的只是好人不作為。現(xiàn)在，就有這樣的運(yùn)動(dòng)尋求終止生化研究，其依據(jù)是動(dòng)物有權(quán)要求人們?cè)谘芯炕顒?dòng)中不再被使用的理論。科學(xué)家應(yīng)該對(duì)動(dòng)物權(quán)利倡導(dǎo)者做出有力的反擊，因?yàn)檫@些人的觀點(diǎn)正在蠱惑公眾，從而威脅到了保健知識(shí)與醫(yī)療的發(fā)展。動(dòng)物權(quán)利運(yùn)動(dòng)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者之所以將目標(biāo)對(duì)準(zhǔn)生化研究，是因?yàn)樯芯恳蕾嚬不穑規(guī)缀鯖]有人理解保健醫(yī)療研究的作用。聽到有關(guān)在研究中殘忍對(duì)待動(dòng)物的斷言，許多人感到困惑，以為任何人都會(huì)故意去傷害動(dòng)物。

　　比如，在最近的一次街頭集市上，一位在動(dòng)物權(quán)利保護(hù)攤位服務(wù)的老太太在分發(fā)小冊(cè)子，鼓勵(lì)讀者不要使用任何來自于動(dòng)物或在動(dòng)物身上做過實(shí)驗(yàn)的任何東西。當(dāng)問及她是否反對(duì)免疫接種時(shí)，她說她想知道疫苗是否來自于動(dòng)物實(shí)驗(yàn)。當(dāng)確信疫苗是來自于動(dòng)物試驗(yàn)時(shí)，她回答說：那么，我得說我反對(duì)。當(dāng)問及如果流行病卷土重來該怎么辦時(shí)，她說：不用擔(dān)心，科學(xué)家會(huì)利用計(jì)算機(jī)找到某種解決辦法的。這樣的好心人只是不了解情況。

　　科學(xué)家必須用一種富于同情，易于理解的方式將信息傳遞給公眾用人性化的語言不是分子生物學(xué)的術(shù)語。我們必須澄清動(dòng)物研究與祖母的髖骨置換、父親的旁道管手術(shù)、小孩的免疫接種甚至寵物的防疫注射之間的關(guān)系。對(duì)于那些不了解只有通過動(dòng)物研究才能研制出治療方案、才能開發(fā)出新方案和新疫苗的人來說，動(dòng)物研究說得好聽一點(diǎn)是浪費(fèi)，說得難聽一點(diǎn)是殘忍。

　　有許多事情可以做到。科學(xué)家可以走進(jìn)中學(xué)課堂，介紹他們的科研活動(dòng)。他們應(yīng)盡快答復(fù)郵寄給編輯的來信，以防動(dòng)物權(quán)利組織的錯(cuò)誤信息沒有引起質(zhì)疑，從而蒙蔽真理。研究機(jī)構(gòu)也應(yīng)該向游客開放，以表明實(shí)驗(yàn)室的動(dòng)物受到了人道地對(duì)待。最后，因?yàn)樽钣欣﹃P(guān)系是病人，所以，醫(yī)學(xué)研究界不僅要邀請(qǐng)像史蒂芬?guī)觳菢拥闹耸縼碇С肿约旱氖聵I(yè)，還要邀請(qǐng)所有接受過醫(yī)療的人來支持自己。如果醫(yī)學(xué)研究人員再不采取行動(dòng)，不明真理的公眾真有可能會(huì)不滅醫(yī)療發(fā)展的寶貴火種。
