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. "
【B7】
选项
A、aware
B、bewildered
C、fond
D、scared
答案
D
解析
形容词辨析题。根据上一空的解题分析,已经可推知服用药物的老鼠不会再害怕,所选形容词应表示“害怕,恐惧”之意,再由其后的介词of可知,[D]scared为答案。本题易排除[B]bewildered“感到迷惑的”,因为该词应与介词at或by连用;实验者需要对照老鼠听到声音的反应,所以不可能让老鼠意识不到这个声音,故[A]aware也不正确。而老鼠在听到声音时遭到电击,更不会喜欢这个声音,因此[C]fond也应排除。
