    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.
    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. 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 changing memories is very
    dangerous because memories give us our identity (特质). They also help us all
    avoid the mistakes of the past.
    "All of us can think of bad events in our lives 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 the pill
    C. a way of erasing painful memories
    D. an argument about the research on the pill

    A. cause the brain to fix memories
    B. stop people remembering bad experiences
    C. prevent body producing certain chemicals
    D. Wipe out the emotional effects of memories
    3. We can infer from the passage that _____.
    A. people doubt the effects of the pills
    B. the pill will stop people's bad experiences
    C. taking the pill will do harm to people's health
    D. the pill has probably been produced in America
    4. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?
    A. Some memories can ruin people's lives.
    B. People want to get rid of bad memories.
    C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.

健康环保类阅读

等考点的理解。关于这些考点您可以点击下面的选项卡查看详细档案。
  • 健康环保类阅读
健康环保类阅读:
本类型主要是围绕饮食健康、医疗卫生及环境保护等方面选取实际的材料来设题。
体裁有记叙文、说明文、议论文和各种应用文。
健康环保类阅读题答题注意事项和技巧:
应试生态环保类题目时,在理解文章的基础上,要重点突破——归纳主旨大意技能,因为推断是以整体理解为基础的推断能力。
1.归纳主旨大意:
(1)寻找具体段落的中心思想的方法是:找出每小段的主题句。
主题句通常有这样的特点:
①有一个话题(topic);
②有阐述控制性概念,偶尔也可在一段中间;
③有的文章无明显主题句,主题句隐含在段意之中。这就需要读者进一步加工概括了。
(2)寻找整篇文章的中心思想的方法建立在寻找具体段落中心的基础上的。
应观察全文的结构安排,理解文章浓墨重笔写的“重心”,考虑文章组织材料及支撑性细节是服务于什么的,分析故事的发展结局都是围绕什么中心大意来安排的。
(3)典型错误:
①忽视文章的结构;
②混淆了中心与支撑细节或材料的区别;
③忽视文章表意的倾向性;
④漏掉了主要的特征词。

2.正确推理判断:
推理判断试题要求考生尽量考虑文中全部信息或事实,在通篇理解文章的基础上领会作者的言外之意,并作出正确的推理和判断。
(1)数据推断题
解答此类题,关键是要善于捕捉有关数字的信息,然后在透彻理解原文的字面意义和题意的基础上,运用自己的数学知识,对其进行分析、推算,从而得出正确的结论。
(2)知识推断题
根据文章中所阐述的细节,运用基础知识进行分析、推敲,从而得出符合文章原义的结论的一种推断方法。
(3)逻辑结论推断题
根据事实、论点、例证等一系列论据材料,不是根据自己的经验、态度、观点或爱好去理解文章的内涵。
解答这类题的前提是要首先获得短文的主题思想或列举的具体事实,然后按题意要求进行推断。
(4)对作者态度、倾向的推断题
作者的倾向和感情往往隐含在文章的字里行间,或流露于修饰的词语之中,因此,在推断过程中,应特别注意文中作者的措辞。
