问题详情:
Think about the last time you felt afraid.Was it a fear of height?Did you oversleep on a weekday and fear you’d get into trouble at the office?In any case,you know what it feels like to feel fear. But one woman doesn’t.The woman,code-named“UM”,gave her first-ever interview after years of being studied by a team of researchers.The woman is given a code name because the researchers want to protect her from anyone who would take advantage of her inability to feel afraid. UM can’t tell you what fear is because she’s never experienced it.“I wonder what it’s like to actually be afraid of something,”she said.The formal name for the disease is Urbach-Wieth disease,which is characterized by a hoarse(粗哑的)voice,small bumps around the eyes,and calcium deposits(钙沉积的)in the brain. In the case of UM,the disease has transformed the part of her brain that controls the human response to fear.In the interview,UM talks about an event in her life where she was held at knifepoint and gunpoint,“I was walking to the store,and I saw a man on a park bench.He said.‘Come here,please,’so I went over to him.He grabbed me by the shirt,put a knife to my throat and told me he was going to cut me.I told him,‘Go ahead and cut me,’I wasn’t afraid at a11.And for some reason,he let me go.” Doctors who have been studying UM’s condition for years have been trying different things that could strike fear into her.They finally figured something out—increasing UM’s carbon dioxide levels.Extra carbon dioxide concentration in the blood is known to cause fear and panic in health individuals.Increasing UM’s carbon dioxide levels did manage to give her a fright. 1.The text starts by_______. A.challenging the reader B.solving daily problems C.1isting situations D.giving explanations 2.Why is the woman with Urbach-Wieth disease given a code name? A.To tell her case from other patients. B.To respect her privacy. C.To meet the researchers’demands. D.To ensure her safety. 3.From UM’s case,we can know that Urbach-Wieth disease may________. A.stop the brain from functioning normally B.1ead to a decrease in calcium deposits C.stop the brain from responding quickly D.1ead to an increase in carbon dioxide 4.What will probably happen to UM? A.Dying of the Urbach-Wieth disease. B.Getting the sense of panic. C.Experiencing another danger. D.Speaking with a hoarse voice.
【回答】
CDAB
试题解析:1.细节理解 根据文章第一段第二句提出的问题以及下文的人内容,可知道文章的开头首先是通过一连串的问题情境把读者带入到这个话题里的。故*C正确。 2.细节理解 根据文章第二段中的最后一句The woman is given a code name because the researchers want to protect her from anyone who would take advantage of her inability to feel afraid,可知D的意思与之相符,故选D。 3.细节理解 根据文章第三第四段所说的内容,可知道这种病是能够影响大脑,对个人的反应起到一定的作用的。结合各个选项的意思,可知应选A。 4.推理判断 根据文章最后一段的内容中的increasing UM’s carbon dioxide levels.Extra carbon dioxide concentration in the blood is known to cause fear and panic in health individuals,可知道,增加体内血液中的二氧化碳浓度可以引起一个人的惊恐,故选B。
