题目内容

A 34-year-old mother has spoken of how she woke up thinking she was 15 years old and living in 1992.

Naomi Jacobs, from Manchester, was convinced she was still a teenager. In her mind, John Major was Prime Minister and George Bush Sr. was running the White House. She also showed how she screamed when a boy appeared and called her “Mum”. Mobile phones and e-mails were puzzling and Google, Facebook and YouTube sounded like made-up words, she said.

Ms. Jacobs, who had no memory of the years, was told by doctors that she had Transient Global Amnesia (TGA). She has now written a book about the experience which happened in 2008.

“I fell asleep in 1992 as a brave, very confident know-it-all-15-year-old, and woke up as a 32-year-old single mum living in a rented house,” Ms. Jacobs said. “The last thing I remember was falling asleep in my bed, dreaming about a boy in my class. When I woke up, I looked in the mirror and had the fright of my life when I saw an old woman with wrinkles staring back at me. Then a little boy appeared and started calling me Mum. That’s when I started to scream. I didn’t know who he was. I didn’t think he was much younger than I was, and I certainly didn’t remember giving birth to him. I began sobbing uncontrollably. I just wanted my mum. I couldn’t get my head around going to bed one night and waking up in a different century.”

TGA is a rare type of amnesia which can occur suddenly, affecting around three people per 100,000 each year. Fortunately, permanent memory loss is rare. Ms. Jacobs’ memory started to return after eight weeks.

Some people who often suffer from migraines (偏头痛) also appear to be more likely to have TGA. The cause of TGA is unknown. Some think that it may be caused by a temporary cut of blood flow to parts of the brain involved in memory.

1. When a little boy came to call her “Mum”, Naomi Jacobs was _____.

A. excited            B. frightened       C. worried           D. embarrassed

2.What was the last thing Naomi Jacobs could remember?

A. She was a brave and confident girl.

B. She met an old woman with wrinkles.

C. George Bush Sr. was elected President.

D. She fell asleep dreaming of a boy in her class.

3.According to the text, TGA _____.

A. is quite common

B. is caused by brain injuries

C. results in permanent memory loss

D. causes people to lose part of their memory

4.What’s the main idea of the text?

A. Naomi Jacobs has a poor memory.

B. Naomi Jacobs gets an amazing career after TGA.

C. Naomi Jacobs wakes up with the memory of her youth.

D. Naomi Jacobs succeeds in overcoming the disease.

5.According to the passage, we know _______.

A. Ms. Jacobs’ memory returned to normal now

B. Ms. Jacobs often doesn’t remember things

C. Ms. Jacobs has not got married yet

D. Ms. Jacobs is very young now in deed

 

【答案】

 

1.B

3.D

4.C

5.A

【解析】

试题分析:文中讲述了一位34岁的母亲一觉醒来后记忆回到了她15岁的时候,甚至当孩子喊她妈妈时她都吓得尖叫起来。在世界上每年有十万分之三的人会发生类似Naomi Jacobs这样的突发性部分记忆丧失症,造成这种病的原因尚不明确,一些人认为可能是由于大脑记忆部分的暂时性缺血造成的。

1.B细节理解题。根据第二段中She also showed how she screamed when a boy appeared and called her “Mum”.可知当孩子喊她妈妈时,她受到了惊吓,所以B选项正确。

2.D细节理解题。由文中The last thing I remember was falling asleep in my bed, dreaming about a boy in my class.可知D选项正确。

3.D细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段可知TGA造成人们短时失忆的原因, 所以D选项正确。

4.C主旨大意题。文章开头提出事件,然后进行详细叙述,中心大意就是讲述Naomi Jacobs的突然失忆,所以C选项正确。

5.A细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段Ms. Jacobs’ memory started to return after eight weeks.

可知Ms. Jacobs记忆开始恢复了,所以A选项正确。

考点:考查故事类短文阅读。
