第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Patients in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease often struggle to remember recently learned information, meaning they forget things like important appointments or where they left their keys. But it seems that these memories are not lost. They are still filed away in the brain somewhere; they just can’t be easily accessed.
Now, researchers at MIT have developed a means of getting back memories in mice suffering from Alzheimer’s. The method relies on a technique that uses light to control genetically modified neurons (转基因神经元). Currently it is too early to be used in human trials as it involves inserting light emitting (发光) equipment into the subjects’ brains, but the same principles still apply, the researchers said.
“The important point is that this is evidence of concept. That is, even if a memory seems to be gone, it is still there. It’s a matter of how to get it back,” said senior researcher Susumu Tonegawa.
The team took two groups of mice, one genetically engineered to develop Alzheimer’s and one healthy. They then placed them into a room and gave them a mild electric shock. All of the mice showed fear when put back in an hour later. When placed in the room a third time several days later, the Alzheimer’s mice acted normally. They had forgotten the shock.
The researchers were then able to bring back the memory of the shock by activating (激活) the cells in which the memories were stored. Even when the mice were put into an unfamiliar room, they showed fear when the cells associated with the shock were activated.
“Short-term memory seems to be normal, on the order of hours. But for long-term memory, these early-Alzheimer’s mice seem to be damaged,” said lead researcher Dheeraj Roy. “Directly activating the cells that we believe are holding the memory helps them get it back. This suggests that it is indeed an access problem to the information, not that they’re unable to learn or store this memory.”
1、What can we learn about the researchers at MIT?
A．They are the pioneers of brain research.
B．They have used the method in human trials.
C．They can cure Alzheimer’s using the new method.
D．They can get back memories in mice with Alzheimer’s.
2、Why did the Alzheimer’s mice behave normally a third time?
A．They failed to remember the electric shock.
B．They were accustomed to the situation.
C．They managed to overcome the fear.
D．They activated the association.
3、For long-term memory, the early Alzheimer’s mice _______.
A．can activate their blood cells
B．can’t learn new tricks well
C．can easily get back their memory
D．can’t access the information stored
4、The main purpose of the text is to _______.
A．introduce a method of a research
B．report the latest discovery about a disease
C．give advice on how to improve memory
D．explain how our brain stores information

B
The year 3700， Earth is far too hot for any human to call it home． On this planet at least， man is nothing more than a memory - if there is anything left to remember the"wise man"． But what about our wisdom -will any of it survive us？
The conventional answer is no． Knowledge requires a knower， and there will be no knowing minds around then． But if information survives， perhaps in books or hard drives， maybe the knowledge isn't quite dead but dormant （休眠）， ready to become alive with the help of other minds that develop over time or come to visit Earth in the distant future．
At first sight， that seems to be reasonable： after all， we have done similar things with past knowledge． For example， we saved an ancient computer from a ship destroyed at sea off the southern coast of Greece， and succeeded in finding the meaning of Egyptian hieroglyphics（象形文字）． Careful work can bring previously lost wisdom back to life．
However， the key point is that there is a certain cultural continuity with those ancient times that allows us to reason and make progress in the dark： we know we are dealing with the legacy （遗赠） of other humans．
Without that link， the survival of objects and raw data doesn't guarantee the survival of knowledge．And a lack of continuity in language with any future intelligence would be a barrier． Knowledge is closely connected with language． When a language dies out， we can lose systems of reasoning that they contain． If that's lost， then it can't be recovered．
All this means that other minds might not be able to fully make human knowledge alive when we are gone． It is better to concentrate on not dying out in the first place．
1、What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1？ ______
A．To present an interesting idea．
B．To state a problem of the future．
C．To inform us of the earth in 3700．
D．To introduce the topic of the text．
2、What do the words"similar things"in Paragraph 3probably refer to？ ______
A．Developing the minds．
B．Remembering the wise man．
C．Making lost wisdom alive again．
D．Learning from the ancient civilization．
3、What plays the key part in getting cultural continuity according to the text？ ______
A．Language． B．Intelligence．
C．Knowledge． D．Information．
4、What can be the best title for the text？ ______
A．Can human beings live on？
B．Will our wisdom survive us？
C．How we can protect our culture
D．What the earth will be like in the future
