题文

Counterfeit medicines are a widespread problem in developing countries. Like other counterfeits, they look like real products. But counterfeit drugs may contain too much, too little or none of the active ingredients (原料) of the real thing.
People do not get the medicine they need. And in some cases the counterfeits cause death. Twenty children in Bangladesh died last year after being given acetaminophen (醋氨芬). The medications contained ingredients that looked, smelled and tasted like the real thing. The medicine was produced by a local drug company that used a dangerous substitute to save money.
The problem of counterfeit medicines is especially serious in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The WHO estimates that up to thirty percent of medicines on sale in many of those countries are counterfeits. The problem is less widespread among industrialized countries. The WHO says counterfeits make up less than one percent of the illegal drug market in countries like the United States, Canada, Japan, and New Zealand.
But the agency also says as much as fifty percent of the medicine sold on the Internet is counterfeit.
Much is being done to fight counterfeit drugs. Several companies are developing ways to make counterfeits easier to identify (鉴定). And there are existing methods, like a machine that can quickly identify chemicals in pills to confirm if the pills are real. Other ideas include things like special tracking (跟踪) codes for drug packages. People could send a text message with the code and get a message back, which proves that what they bought is listed in a database. Some drug makers and other companies put three-dimensional images called holograms (全息图) on their products as a security device.

解析

本文作者主要讲述的是世界范围内存在的假药现象，主要集中在非洲，亚洲和拉丁美洲，分析了这一现象的原因以及人们为了解决这一问题所采取的措施。
小题1:D
【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第一段. Like other counterfeits, they look like real products. But counterfeit drugs may contain too much, too little or none of the active ingredients (原料) of the real thing.像其他的假货一样，假货看起来像真的一样。但是假药里的原料和真药里的原料几乎完全不一样。可知这里的counterfeit与后面的the real thing表示相反的意思。故D正确。
小题2:C
【试题解析】细节题。根据第二段后2句The medications contained ingredients that looked, smelled and tasted like the real thing. The medicine was produced by a local drug company that used a dangerous substitute to save money.可知导致孩子去世的是这些假药，里面是有了危险的物质。故C项正确。
小题3:A
【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第4段But the agency also says as much as fifty percent of the medicine sold on the Internet is counterfeit.
可知一半的假药是在网络上面销售的，所以作者建议我们不要在网络上面购买药物，因为假的可能性很大。故A正确。
小题4:C
【试题解析】段落大意题。根据本段第一句Much is being done to fight counterfeit drugs.可知为了和假药做斗志，已经采取了很多措施。接下来就列举了具体的措施。故C项正确。
小题5:D
【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第三段The problem of counterfeit medicines is especially serious in Africa, Asia and Latin America和The problem is less widespread among industrialized countries可知非洲，亚洲和拉丁美洲假药的问题很严重，而且在工业化的发达国家，假药的问题不大。4个选项里，只有D不是工业化国家，同时也是亚洲的国家。故D项正确。
【长难句解析】
1.People could send a text message with the code and get a message back, which proves that what they bought is listed in a database.
【翻译】人们可以发生一个带有密码的短信，然后会收到一个回复的短信，这个短信证明他们所购买的是在数据库里所列出来的。
【分析】本句非常复杂。本句中的which引导的是一个非限制性定语从句，which指代前面的message在定语从句中做主语，同时对于从句中有一个that引导的宾语从句，这个宾语从句中有一个what引导的主语从句。
2.Some drug makers and other companies put three-dimensional images called holograms (全息图) on their products as a security device.
【翻译】一些药物生产商和其他公司在他们的产品上放上被称为全息图的三维图片作为安全装置。
【分析】本句中的过去分词短语called holograms (全息图)作为定语修饰前面的名词three-dimensional images，因为两者之间构成被动关系，所以使用过去分词。相当于定语从句which are called holograms。
