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. "
【B17】
选项
A、remove
B、seek
C、cement
D、distinguish
答案
C
解析
动词辨析题。本空所在句为定语从句,说明前文提到的一种记忆阻隔药物的功用。这种药物是通过阻碍某种神经传递素的活动而发挥作用的。因此这种神经传递素应该是帮助保持或是强化记忆的,因此在四个选项中只有[C]cement“巩固,加强”符合文意,为正确答案。根据上述分析,本题易排除[A]remove“消除”,因其与原文意思相反。如果药物只能阻碍“查找”记忆和“区别”记忆的神经活动,也不能达到阻隔记忆的作用,故[B]seek“寻找”以及[D]distinguish“区别”也不合文意,应排除。
