第五部分阅读表达专题二十主旨大意题A(2015成都零诊)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 scares.Usually,these experiences will appear in peoples nightmares.Now American researchers are close to developing a pill,which helps people forget bad memories.The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience.They hope it might reduce,or possibly erase the effect of painful memories.Last month experts tested a drug on people in the US and France.The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain.But so far,the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced.The research has caused a great deal of argument.Some people think it is a bad idea,while others support it.Supporters say,“Some memories can ruin peoples lives.They come back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare.They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman,a professor at Harvard.“After taking the pills,they may relieve a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that changing memories is dangerous because memories give us our identity.“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that are horrible.At the same time,however,these bad events make us who we are.We are not sure whether we like to wipe those memories out,” they said,“and those memories also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.”1.What will usually appear in peoples nightmares?(no more than 4 words)2.When is the pill supposed to be taken?(no more than 5 words)3.In which countries did experts test the drug on people?(no more than 5 words)4.What do people think of the pill research?(no more than 6 words)5.Why is changing memories dangerous?(no more than 6 words)B(2014四川绵阳三诊)I was shopping at a department store and had just boarded the escalator(电梯) when I noticed a woman standing to the side.She looked about 65,and her expression told me she was scared.I turned toward her and asked,“Do you need help?”As the escalator continued moving,I heard the woman reply softly,“Im afraid.” There was something of doubt in her voice.“Want me to come back and get you?” I called to her.She nodded.But by the time I reached her,the woman had reconsidered.“I dont think I can do it,”she said.I was suddenly aware that I had made a far greater offer than I expected.“I know we can do it,” I said.“I can hold on to you.” She looked down at the “beast”.Then her eyes came back to mine,doubtfully.“This has never happened to me before,” she said,as much to herself as to me.I felt that her sudden fear connected with the escalators mechanical nature,which deserved none of human trust.I took her arm.“Shall we?” She made a little sound of alarm as we stepped on,but wed passed the point of no return.She relaxed slightly as the stairs moved us downward.“I dont understand this at all,” she said.As we neared the bottom,she seized my arm tightly again,but we did fine.“Im so grateful.” She began.“It was nothing,” I said.“I was happy to do it.”Happy?Yes.I do very little to help others.I am busy caring for a family and working full time.For a brief moment,I had a flash of insight (洞察力) into why someone would become a nurse or a social worker.When I helped the woman,I felt pure and whole,purposeful.It was a happier moment than Id had in weeks.1.What did the author notice on the womans face?(within 1 word)2.What was the woman afraid of?(within 3 words)3.How did the author help the woman to take the escalator?(within 10 words)4.How did the woman feel towards the author in the end?(within 1 word)5.What did the author learn from this experience?(within 10 words)#A1.Violent and horrible/terrible/scaring experiences./Violence and traffic accidents.2.Immediately after a frightening/terrible/scaring experience.3.In the US/America and France.4.They/People have different opinions/ideas about it.或Some support it while others disagree.5.Because memories give us our identity.B1.Fear/Scare.2.Taking the escalator.3.By encouraging and holding on to her/taking her arm.4.Grateful/Thankful.5.Real happiness lies in helping others./Helping others will benefit yourself as well./Helping others helps to make yourself happy.2
