Alzheimer’s disease（早老性痴呆病）is a major national health problem．Nearly 2 million Americans over the age of 65 have Alzheimer’s disease．It is a leading cause of death among the elderly．But Alzheimer’s disease is not confined（限于）to the aged．There may be a million or more people under the age of 65 suffering from the disease．

At one time．people suffering from the disease were said to be“getting old”．The disease was thought to be a natural part of growing old，but it is now known that Alzheimer’s disease strikes young and old alike．It is an organic disease that destroys brain cells．

Alzheimer’s disease affects the patient’s memory，speech and movement．In the beginning stages of the disease，the patient may seem slightly confused．He may have trouble in speaking．

Then the patient’s memory begins to fail．He may forget dates，telephone numbers，names and plans．   

As the disease progresses．the patient may not recognize his family and friends．These symptoms（症状）often cause terrible anxiety in the patient．He may feel lost and frightened．Sometimes the patient reacts with wild and bad behavior．

In the last stages of the disease．the patient may not be able to take care of himself．He may have lost the ability to speak and walk．

Scientists don’t know exactly what causes Alzheimer’s disease．It may be caused by a virus or a poisonous substance in the environment．At present，there is no cure for the disease．But there are ways to slow its progress．Exercise and physical treatment can help the patients of this disease．

72．The main idea of the passage is that Alzheimer’s disease______________．

A．is a terrible part of the aging process    B．is an organic disease that affects young and old

C．can be cured by physical treatment     D．causes forgetfulness

73．All of the following are symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease EXCEPT___________．

A．forgetfulness                       B．difficulty in speaking

C．loss of sight                        D．loss of the ability to walk

74．According to the passage，which of the following may be a cause of Alzheimer’s disease?

A．Poisons produced by the brain．       B．Getting old．

C．A virus．                          D．Lack of exercise．

75．The progress of Alzheimer’s disease can be slowed by_____________．

A．operation                          B．a change in environment

 (09·湖南D篇)

Andrew Ritchie, inventor of the Brompton folding bicycle, once said that the perfect portable bike would be “like a magic carpet…You could fold it up and put it into your pocket or handbag”. Then he paused: “But you’ll always be limited by the size of the wheels. And so far no one has invented a folding wheel.”

It was a rare — indeed unique — occasion when I was able to put Ritchie right. A 19th-century inventor, William Henry James Grout, did in fact design a folding wheel. His bike, predictably named the Grout Portable, had a frame that split into two and a larger wheel that could be separated into four pieces. All the bits fitted into Grout’s Wonderful Bag, a leather case.

Grout’s aim: to solve the problems of carrying a bike on a train. Now doesn’t that sound familiar? Grout intended to find a way of making a bike small enough for train travel: his bike was a huge beast. And importantly, the design of early bicycles gave him an advantage: in Grout’s day, tyres were solid, which made the business of splitting a wheel into four separate parts relatively simple. You couldn’t do the same with a wheel fitted with a one-piece inflated （充气的） tyre.

So, in a 21st-century context, is the idea of the folding wheel dead? It is not. A British design engineer, Duncan Fitzsimons, has developed a wheel that can be squashed into something like a slender ellipse （椭圆）. Throughout, the tyre remains inflated.

Will the young Fitzsimons’s folding wheel make it into production? I haven’t the foggiest idea. But his inventiveness shows two things. First, people have been saying for more than a century that bike design has reached its limit, except for gradual advances. It’s as silly a concept now as it was 100 years ago: there’s plenty still to go for. Second, it is in the field of folding bikes that we are seeing the most interesting inventions. You can buy a folding bike for less than £1,000 that can be knocked down so small that it can be carried on a plane — minus wheels, of course — as hand baggage.

Folding wheels would make all manner of things possible. Have we yet got the magic carpet of Andrew Ritchie’s imagination? No. But it’s progress.
