17、ar below those of critically ill patients.“We want to understand why humans respond differently to low oxygen levels,” Mike Grocott, a researcher at University College London, who led the study, said in a telephone interview.“The problem with studying critically ill patients is there are so many oth
18、er things going on that it makes it difficult to single out the effects of any one variable.”The study took place in the so-called “Death Zone” on Everestthe area above 8,000 meters (26,250 feet) where thin air limits the amount of oxygen getting into the lungs and can lead to organ failure and coma
19、 (昏迷) even for the fittest individuals.The team of eight doctors reached the 8,850-meter summit via the South Col route but carried out their experiment about 400 meters lower because of severe weather at the top. After finding an area that provided some shelter, four of the team members removed the
20、ir gloves, unzipped their down suits and had blood drawn from the femoral artery (股动脉). An analysis (分析) showed what doctors had long suspectedthat high-altitude climbers have unbelievably low levels of oxygen in their blood, normally seen only in patients close to death. The readings were also the
21、lowest-ever recorded in humans, as low as 2.55 kilopascals (千帕斯卡). This compares to a normal level of 12-14 kilopascals for healthy people and a level of eight kilopascals for critically ill patients, Grocott added.“We did an extensive search and couldnt find any measurements in humans that were low
22、er and not many that were even close,” he said.Grocott and colleagues, who published their findings in the New England Journal of Medicine, believe a build-up of fluid (流体) in the lungs due to the high altitude might have contributed to the low oxygen levels.While further research is needed, the res
23、ults suggest that some critically ill patients may be able to tolerate lower oxygen levels before receiving oxygen or other interventions (干预) that run the risk of side effects, Grocott said.“What is interesting about this is there may be some patients who can tolerate lower levels and get less harm
24、 from these other interventions,” Grocott said. 1. The lowest levels of blood oxygen in humans was discovered by _.A. doing experiments in a lab B. conducting study outsideC. publishing the findings in a magazine D. analyzing the findings2. The underlined word means _.A. a patient with the lowest le
25、vels of blood oxygen B. a well-known thingC. an unexpected thing D. a kind of effect3. According to the passage, we can infer that _.A. British doctors have already finished the study of the lack of low blood oxygenB. British doctors have already found out the final answer to the problemC. British d

Low oxygen level is the same to everybody.C. Measurements in humans have been found which are close to
27、normal level.D. Nobody can stand lower levels of blood oxygen.5.
