    第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
    请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    A
    Around the age of 40, honest people may already admit to noticing changes in their mental abilities. This is the beginning of a gradual decline that in all too many of us will end with full-blown dementia(痴呆).
    However, a few drugs that might do the job, known as “cognitive enhancement(认知增强)”, are already on the market, and a few dozen others are on the way. Perhaps the best-known is modafinil. Licensed to treat narcolepsy, the condition that causes people to suddenly fall asleep, it has notable effects in healthy people too. Modafinil can keep a person awake and his or her attention fixed for 90 hours straight, with none of anxiety, nervousness and bad concentration. In fact, with the help of modafinil, people who can hardly go to sleep can perform even better than their well-rested, un-medicated(未服药的) selves.
    It’s an open secret that many, perhaps most, prescriptions for modafinil are written not for people who suffer from narcolepsy, but for those who simply want to stay awake. Similarly, many people are using Ritalin not because they suffer from attention problem or any other disorder, but because they want superior concentration during exams or heavy-duty activities.
    Some drugs have also been specially designed to improve memory. Many of these seem to work, and without any major side effects. So why aren’t we all on cognitive enhancers already?
    “We need to be careful what we wish for,” says Daniele Piomelli at the University of California at Irvine. Repairing and improving memory may have unwanted effects, he warns. “Eventually we may end up remembering things we don’t want to.”
    56. According to the message, we can learn that originally modafinil is a drug designed for _____.
    A. for both healthy and unhealthy people
    B. the treatment of dementia
    C. people who can hardly go to sleep
    D. those suffering from falling asleep suddenly
    57. The passage mainly talks about _____.
    A. dementia—a threat to the old people                     B. modafinil—a nice drug for dementia
    C. relevant drugs to a better brain                      D. cognitive enhancement
    58. The underlined sentences in paragraph two wants to tell us that _____.
    A. without modafinil people suffering from sleep problems cannot rest well
    B. people lacking sleep can work better than they are in a healthy state if taking modafinil
    C. modafinil has greater effects on healthy people if they take it
    D. with modafinil people suffering from narcolepsy can fall asleep easily
    59. What’s the writer’s attitude to the drugs mentioned in the passage?
    A. Positive.    B. Negative.    C. Objective(客观的).   D. Doubtful.

    Matt Scott, who was born with spina bifida (脊柱裂)，grew up in Detroit, Michigan, where he participated in a variety of sports alongside his healthy friends. Now as a member of University of Wis­consin -Whitewater wheelchair basketball team, Scott has won four national championships, and hats' recently been selected to the Paralympic team for the second time. The 23 ― year 一 old college senior owes his achievements to his hard work and the support of his friends and family, who never allowed him to use his disability as an excuse. "My mother was always great. Whenever I felt giving up, she had no sympathy. She really helped me build my independence by not babying me the way other mothers would have," Scott says.

    It was Scott' s independent nature and strong will, along with his on - the - court skills, that at­tracted the attention of America's most influential sports apparel (衣服)company, Nike. Nike was searching for an athlete with a disability to represent its "Just Do It " trademark. A handful of super­star athletes with disabilities came to audition for the role, but the company picked Scott to star in the 30 一 second commercial.

    "I think that they were looking for the prettiest face in America, and found me," Scott jokes about the selection process.

    After being picked, Scott flew to California to film the commercial with Oscar - winning docu­mentary director Errol Morris. The ad gave Scott celebrity (名人)status in the community of disabled athletes. He's been asked to speak at a number of disability - related events, and feels it's his duty to use the media to draw attention to those with disabilities. "I've been given a voice, and I want to do whatever I can to break down the social barriers that are still faced by disabled athletes, and make people realize that they have a very high athletic level," Scott says.

    56.When Scott was young,   ?

    A.he only played basketball with other disabled children

    B.he became disabled during a basketball match

    C.his friends looked down upon him during basketball matches

    D.his mother didn't give him special treatment

    A. bee     B. ade     C. abd     D. bed

    58.The underlined phrase "audition for " in the second paragraph means " ".

    A. try out for  B. look out for        C. take on      D. pick out

    59.Which of the following about Scott is TRUE?

    A.He has graduated from the University of Wisconsin ― Whitewater.

    B.He thinks it's unwise for the disabled to use disability as an excuse.

    C.He starred in a commercial together with Errol Morris.

    D.He thinks it's important to have many goals.

    60.To Scott, the most important result of the ad was that    .

    A.it made people realize the athletic talent of the disabled

    B.it gave him a chance to show his basketball skills

    C.he could do more for disabled athletes
