【正文】 results revealed that the brain activity differed depending on the situation being tested. The team found that when the actors were in character, they use some thirdperson knowledge or inferences about their character.”結(jié)果顯示，大腦活動的不同取決于所測試的情境。由此可知Brown博士的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，演員在表演時大腦活動是不同的，故選B。根據(jù)最后一段中的“However, Philip Davis, a professor at the University of Liverpool, was unimpressed by the research, saying acting is about far more than ‘pretending’他說，表演不僅僅是 假裝 成某個人，它還包括文本和語言的體現(xiàn)。 （4）考查主旨大意。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎上，進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。 In our twenties, we find it funny when we can39。s cat39。s disease（老年癡呆癥）？t worry. The fact that you recognize your own forgetfulness may be a very good sign, at least in terms of the possibility of your developing Alzheimer39。s not forgetfulness but not being aware that we39。 The researchers began with the assumption that one mon feature of Alzheimer39。 The researchers used existing data for 1, 062 people between the ages of 55 and 90 that had been recorded over a 12year period. The data included brain scans, which the researchers used to look for visual signs of reduced glucose uptake（葡萄糖吸收）.It is an objective marker of the sort of reduced brain function that goes along with expected, glucose uptake was reduced in those with AD. What the researchers also discovered was that glucose uptake was reduced in those with mild cognitive damage who also showed evidence of reduced illness awareness. Finally, the researchers found that those who had reduced illness awareness were more likely to develop AD than those without.（1）What can be implied from paragraph 1？ A.The memory of the young is better than the old.C.s disease.D.s a rare phenomenon when young people forget something.（2）What statement does the researchers in the new study agree with? A.Illness awareness has nothing to do with Alzheimer39。Recognizing forgetfulness doesn39。s disease.D.s disease.（3）What can be a sign of developing Alzheimer39。Realizing others39。B.Having higher intake of glucose.D.Science fiction.A chemistry book.A science research.A health brochure.【答案】 （1）A（2）C（3）B（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了如何預測你的記憶喪失是否是老年癡呆癥,一項新的研究表明，不是遺忘，而是沒有意識到我們的健忘讓人們感到害怕。根據(jù)第一段中的“t remember our neighbor39。s name or a handsome actor who starred in a famous movie. In our thirties, we jokingly call it ‘brain freeze’ In our forties, we laugh it off as a‘senior moment’ and follow up with one of these old age jokes. But the reality is that there es a point when being forgetful stops being funny and starts to seem a bit dreadful.在三十多歲的時候，我們開玩笑地稱它為“大腦凍結(jié)”，在四十多歲的時候，我們把它當作“老年時期”來嘲笑，然后繼續(xù)講這些老年笑話。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。s disease（AD） ”承認自己的健忘也許是一個很好的跡象，至少從你患老年癡呆癥,的可能性來看，可知選C。根據(jù)第四段中的“ It is an objective marker of the sort of reduced brain function that goes along with expected, glucose uptake was reduced in those with AD. ”這是一個患有老年癡呆癥降低了腦功能的客觀標志。 （4）考查推理判斷。故選C。6．犇犇Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. s increased positive outlook.

So, when our body needs extra energy, one of the places it goes is our immune function.”可知我們的身體里有大量的免疫細胞，暫時停止運作是可以的。由此可以推斷，免疫系統(tǒng)會暫時停止來為身體提供額外的能量。 （2）考查詞義猜測。也就是說積極與免疫功能之間有關(guān)系，越積極，免疫功能越強，就能活得越久，所有選項中D項（樂觀與壽命）之間最切題，故選D。根據(jù)最后一段中的As a result, our immune system evolved to run in maximum amounts when we39。re not.可知當我們快樂時，我們的免疫系統(tǒng)進化到最大程度，但是當我們不快樂時，免疫系統(tǒng)會減弱。選D。作者開頭提出老年人更關(guān)注積極的事情，后文提到積極的情緒會增強免疫系統(tǒng)，所以本文主要講的是年齡，健康與積極的情緒之間的關(guān)系，選B。7．閱讀理解 Engineers and governments have been toying with the idea since at least 1925. But none of the suggested projects has materialised. Price is one objection. A study thought that tidal energy might cost between ￡216 and ￡368 ($306 521) per MWh of electricity by 2025, pared with ￡58 75 for seagoing wind turbines (輪機) and ￡55 76 for solar panels. Environmentalists also worry that any plant would change the tides, making life harder for wildlife.
