2014高考英语二轮阅读理解基础精品训练题（6）及答案

阅读理解-----A

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. 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.

\don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,\Medical School. \ 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.

\make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out, \Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist(论理学家).

Some people fear that although the drug would first be uesed in only very

serious cases, it would become more and more common. “ People always have the ability to misuse science,” said Joseph Le Doux, a New York University memory researcher.” All we want to do is to help people have better control of memories.”

B American researchers are trying to develop a pill. C Forget bad memories, and be happy. D The researh has caused a heated argument.

答案解析：答案为D。本题为主旨大意题。第一段引出话题人们想忘记痛苦的回忆，第二、三段介绍科学家研究可以消除痛苦回忆的药物，该研究引起了人们的激烈争论，有人支持，有人反对，文章的重心着重于人们的争论，文章的大意就是“研究引起了激烈的争论”。 故答案为D。

2. The underlinded word “ it “ in Para 4 refers to _______ A the new drug B the research into the drug C the bad memory D the chemical drug

答案解析：答案为B。本题为词义推理题。结合划线的 “it” 出现的语境 “The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.” 可以推断，“it”指代的是“the research”，再结合前面第二、三段的内容可知，“it”指代的是对药物的研究，故答案为B。

3. Which of the opinions is NOT the opinion of the supporters? A The pill can erase all the memories of the past

B Some memories can ruin people’s lives. The pill can relieve emotional suffering.

Z,xx,k

C The pill can also help many other types of people who suffer from terrible memories.

答案解析：答案为A。 本题为细节题。由第四段 “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.” 和第五段 “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,” 可知，B、C、D选项是支持者的意见。

A选项 “药物可以抹去所有过去的回忆”表达有误。故答案为A。

B The memories help human avoid mistakes of the past.

C The drug should be used in only very serious cases.

D People may not be sure whether they want to wipe the memories out. 答案解析：答案为C。本题为细节题。由第六、七段可知，A、B、D选项都是反对者的意见。由最后一段首句 “ Some people fear that although the drug would first be uesed in only very serious cases…”可知，C选项是文中的一个事实，不是反对者的意见，故答案为C。
