Question

If a person forgets names , places or facts —and has trouble with everyday things like reading or shopping —it may not mean you are getting old. It could be Alzheimer’s disease. So it’s important to see a doctor as soon as you can.
There is no cure for Alzheimer’s. But a drug called ARICEPT has been used by millions of people to help their symptoms (症状).
In studies, ARICEPT has been proved to work for Alzheimer’s. It has helped people improve their memory over time. It has also helped them to keep doing everyday things on their own.
Ask your doctor if ARICEPT is right for you or your loved one. It is the Number One drug for Alzheimer’s in the world. The sooner you know it’s Alzheimer’s, the better ARICEPT can help.
ARICEPT is good for many but may not be good for everyone. Some people may experience not sleeping well, feeling very tired, or not wanting to eat. In studies, these side effects weren’t serious at all and went away over time. Some people taking ARICEPT may feel light-headed. In this case you should tell your doctors because your condition may get worse.

Answer 1

【小题1】B
【小题2】D
【小题3】A

解析【小题1】B  根据第一段的内容可知，如果一个人患了老年痴呆症，那么他的记忆就出现问题。故选项B正确。
【小题2】D  根据短文第二、三段可知，ARICEPT这种药物并非是可以治愈老年痴呆症，也不是延迟年龄的药物，更不是治愈脑损坏的药物，而是对老年痴呆症有所帮助的药物。故选项D正确。
【小题3】A  根据短文最后提到的“Some people taking ARICEPT may feel light-headed. In this case you should tell your doctors because your condition may get worse.”可知，light-headed意为“(因醉酒等而)头晕目眩”故选项A正确。
