　　Module2 Fantasy Literature

　　Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节)

　　第一节　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　Mice fed junk food for nine months showed signs of developing the abnormal brain disorders strongly linked with Alzheimer's disease (老年痴呆症)，a Swedish researcher said on Friday.

　　“On examining the brains of these mice，we found a chemical change not unlike that found in the Alzheimer brain，”Susanne Akterin，a researcher at the Karolinska Institutet's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center，who led the study，said in a statement.

　　“We now suspect that a high intake of fat and cholesterol (胆固醇) in combination with genetic factors can badly affect several brain materials，which can be a factor contributing to the development of Alzheimer's disease.”

　　Alzheimer's disease is incurable and is the most common form of dementia (痴呆) among older people.It affects the regions of the brain involving thought，memory and language.

　　While the most advanced drugs have focused on removing clumps of β amyloid protein (β淀粉蛋白) that forms diseases in the brain，researchers are also now looking for ways to address the poisonous disorders caused by an abnormal build－up of the protein tau(T形蛋白)．

　　In her research，Akterin focused on a gene variant(基因变体)called apoE4，found in 15 to 20 percent of people and which is a known risk factor for Alzheimer's disease.The gene is involved in the transport of cholesterol.

　　She studied mice genetically engineered to imitate the effect of the variant gene in humans，and the mice were fed a diet rich in fat，sugar and cholesterol for nine months—meals representing the nutritional content of fast food.

　　These mice showed chemical changes in their brains，indicating an abnormal build－up of the protein tau as well as signs that cholesterol in food reduced levels of another protein called Arc involved in memory storage，Akterin said.

　　“All in all，the results give some indication of how Alzheimer's can be prevented，but more research in this field needs to be done before proper advice can be passed on to the general public，” she said.

　　1．What did Susanne Akterin find in her research?

　　A．Signs of developing the abnormal brain disorders.

　　B．The abnormal brain disorders because of junk food.

　　C．Alzheimer's disease linked with junk food.

　　D．The same chemical change in the Alzheimer brain.

　　解析：选D。细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句“...we found a chemical change not unlike that found in the Alzheimer brain”中的not unlike告诉我们，它们(老年痴呆症患者的脑细胞)是一样的。

　　2．What is Susanne Akterin's view about Alzheimer's disease?

　　A．She doubts whether a high intake of fat and cholesterol can cause the disease.

　　B．She firmly believes that several brain materials can lead to the severe disease.

　　C．She decisively assumes it's caused by fat and cholesterol with genetic factors.

　　D．She strongly feels that junk food causes mice to be abnormal.

　　解析：选C。推理判断题。根据文章第三段“We now suspect that...(我们现在推测)．”可推知，老年痴呆症是由于脂肪、胆固醇与基因因素结合所致。

　　3．Which is not the sign of dementia among older people?

　　A．Often forgetting things.

　　B．Often repeating the same words.

　　C．Often being weak.

　　D．Unable to understand other people.

　　解析：选C。推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“It affects the regions of the brain involving thought，memory and language.”可推知，老年痴呆症包括思维、记忆及语言方面的障碍，因此选项C不是老年痴呆的特征。

　　4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A．It's easy to cure Alzheimer's disease.

　　B．There's no way to cure Alzheimer's disease.

　　C．Akterin has found Alzheimer's disease.

　　D．Akterin removed β amyloid protein.

　　解析：选B。细节判断题。第四段第一句“Alzheimer's disease is incurable”就已经说明，老年痴呆症是不治之症。
