2008 年 11 月北京成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案
Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)
Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed
by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four
choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken
the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to
forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with
terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in
nightmares(噩梦).
(76)Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill,
which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken
immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or
possibly erase(抹去), the effect of painful memories.
In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug
stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. (77) So far
the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be
reduced, not that the memories are erased.
The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad
idea, while others support it.
Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’
troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer
from terrible memories.
“Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you
don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with
very painful emotions.” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at
Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”
But those who are against the research say that it is very dangerous to
change memories because memories give us our identity. They also help us all
avoid the mistakes of the past.
“All of us can think of bad events in our lived that were horrible at the
time but make us who we are. I’m not sure we want to wipe those memories
out,” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.
1. The passage is mainly about _____.
A. a new medical invention
B. a new research on memories
C. a way of erasing painful memories
D. an argument about the research on the pill
2. The drug tested on people can ____.
