Researchers led by New York University neuroscientist Joseph LeDoux recently claimed to be the first scientists to erase a single memory. Working with rats, LeDoux’s team first【B1】______the animals to fear both a beep and a siren【B2】______giving them an electric shock every time either of the tones sounded. Then LeDoux gave half the rats the drug U0126, which is known to【B3】______with memory storage, and replayed the beep【B4】______electric shocks.
A day later, when LeDoux【B5】______back both tones to the rats, the animals that hadn’t been given the drug were still fearful of both sounds.【B6】______the rats that had been given the memory-blocking drug weren’t【B7】______of the beep, which they had last heard while【B8】______the influence of U0126.
【B9】______how U0126 exerts its amnesiac effect is【B10】______, but it may block the synthesis of proteins that help strengthen【B11】______between neurons and establish memories. The opportunity for erasure【B12】______during the act of retrieving a memory, because that’s【B13】______the memory is being updated and【B14】______again for long-term storage. " Only those memories that are activated are【B15】______," LeDoux says.
Drugs like U0126 may someday【B16】______sufferers of traumatic memories. A small group of human studies have been done on a drug called propranolol, which blocks the action of stress neurotransmitters that help【B17】______memories in the brain, but LeDoux’s work shows the【B18】______for greater precision. " You might be able to【B19】______the traumatic impact of memories in people," says LeDoux. " The good news is you wouldn’t be【B20】______off their memory bank. "
【B15】
选项
A、vulnerable
B、irresistible
C、recognizable
D、measurable
答案
A
解析
形容词辨析题。本段讨论记忆阻隔药物发挥作用的时机和条件。前文已经提到消除记忆的时机出现在一段记忆受到检索,并进行更新直至再次稳定为长期记忆的时候。雷道克斯以本空所在句总结上述分析,表示“只有那些激活记忆才是易于改写的”。而形容词vulnerable意为“易受到攻击的”,此处是指记忆易受到药物的作用和影响,故[A]为本题答案。根据上述分析[B]irresistible“不可抗拒的”显然与文意不符,因此排除。文章并没有讨论记忆的识别和相关的测量问题,因而[C]recognizable“可识别的”和[D]measurable“可测量的”也应排除。
