To paraphrase 18th-century statesmanEdmundBurke, "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 health 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 comes from of is tested in animals--no meat, no fur, no medicines.Asked if she 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, "Don’t worry, scientists will find some way of using computers." Such well-meaning people just don’t 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 grandmother’s hip replacement, a father’s bypass operation, a baby’s vaccinations, and even a pet’s 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 StephenCooper, 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.
The example of the grandmotherly woman is used to show the public’s ______.A．discontent with animal research
B．ignorance about medical science
C．indifference to epidemics
D．anxiety about animal rights

网考网参考答案：B
网考网解析：
这是一道结构题。题干中的信号词为grandmotherly woman，出自于文章第二段第一句话中。文章第二段指出：在最近的一次集市上，一位在动物权利保护摊位服务的老太太在分发小册子，鼓励读者不要使用来自于动物或在动物身上做过实验的任何东西——包括肉、皮毛或药品；当问及她是否反对免疫接种时，她说她想知道疫苗是否来自于动物实验：当确信疫苗是来自于动物实验时，她回答说她反对；当问及如果流行病重新发作该怎么办时，她说，不用担心，科学家会利用计算机找到某种解决办法的；这样的好心人只是不了解情况。这说明，老太太的例子是用来表示——许多人根本不了解动物研究。B说“公众不了解医疗科学”，这与文章的意思相符。A和D明显与文章的意思不符；文中只是说这些人不了解情况，不理解动物研究与人类疾病之间的关系，并没有说他们不关心流行病，所以C不对。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
