Bringing Nanotechnology to Health Care for the Poor
Nanotechnology uses matter at the level of molecules and atoms. Researchers are finding different uses for particles with a length of one nanomcter, or one-billionth of a meter, These include things like beauty products and dirt-resistant clothing. But one area where many experts believe nanotechnology holds great promise is medicine.<br>
Last week, speakers at a program in Washington discussed using nanotechnology to improve health care in developing countries. The program took place at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. Peter Singer at the University of Toronto says a nanotechnology called quantum dots could be used to confirm cases of malaria. He says it could offer a better way than the traditional process of looking at a person&39;s blood under a microscope.<br>
In poor countries, this process is often not followed. As a result, sick people may get treated for malaria even if they do not have it. Such misuse of medicines can lead to drug resistance.<br>
Quantum dots are particles that give off light when activated. Researchers are studying ways to program them to identify diseases by lighting up in the presence of a targeted molecule.<br>
Experts say nanotechnology shows promise not just for diagnosing diseases, but also for treating them. Piotr Grodzinski of the National Institutes of Health talked about how nanotechnology could make drugs more effective. He talked about cancer drugs already developed with nanotechnology. He says if a drug can target a cancer locally in the body, then much less of it might be needed, and that means lower side effects.<br>
Andrew Maynard is chief scientist for the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies at the Woodrow Wilson Center. He noted that Brazil, India, China and South Africa are currently doing nanotechnology research that could help poor countries. But he also noted that there is some risk in using nano-materials. He says nanometer-sized particles behave differently in the body and the environment compared to larger particles. Experts say more investment in research is needed to better understand these risks.
Which of the following uses ofnanotechnology is NOT mentioned in the passage? 查看材料
A.make beauty products and dirt-resistant clothing
B.To produce better and lighter building materials
C.help more accurately diagnose diseases
D.To help more effectively treat diseases请帮忙给出正确答案和分析,谢谢!
参考答案
正确答案:B
细节题。题干:选项中那一项文中没有提及。划出各选项的信息词。A:beautyproducts,clothing;B:buildingmaterials;c:diagnosediseases:D:treatdiseases。用信息词回归原文。回归后A项定位第一段第三句:Theseincludethingslikebeautyproductsanddirt-resistantclothing.选项B定位到第四段第一句:Expertssaynanotechnologyshowspromisenotjustfordiagnosingdiseases,butalsofortreatingthem.选项D则在第四段第二、三、四句提到。只有选项B全文均未提及。故本题的正确答案是B。
