In this week’ s edition of special series on Bizarre Medical Conditions, there’ s a report of the case of Michelle Myers. [9] Myers is an American woman who woke up one day speaking with a British accent, even though she’ s lived in the United States all her life. In 2015, Myers went to bed with a terrible headache. She woke up sounding like someone from England. Her British accent has remained for the past two years. Previously, Myers had woken up speaking in Irish and Australian accents.
However, on both of those occasions, the accents lasted for only a week. Myers has been diagnosed with Foreign Accent Syndrome. It’ s a disorder in which a person experiences a setting change to their speech so that they sound like they are speaking in a foreign accent. [10] The condition is most often caused by a stroke or traumatic brain injury. Although people with the syndrome have intelligible speech, their manner of speaking is altered in terms of timing and tongue placement, which may distort their pronunciation. The result is that they may sound foreign when speaking their native language.
It’ s not clear whether Myers has experienced a stroke or other brain damage, but she also has a separate medical condition which can result in loose joints, easily bruised skin and other problems. Foreign Accent Syndrome is rare, with only about sixty cases reported within the past century. [11] However, a different American woman reportedly spoke with the Russian accent in 2010 after she fell down the stairs and hit her head.
Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.
9. What happened to Michelle Myers one day?
10. What does the passage say about Foreign Accent Syndrome?
11. What accent did another American woman speak with after a head injury?
选项
A、She found herself speaking a foreign language.
B、She woke up speaking with a different accent.
C、She found some symptoms of her illness gone.
D、She woke up finding herself in another country.
答案
B
解析
题干问的是某天米歇尔-迈尔斯怎么了。短文中提到,迈尔斯是一位美国人,有一天睡醒后说话却带有英格兰口音,尽管她一生都在美国居住,故答案为B(她醒来时说话带着不同的口音)。A项(她发现自己说着外国语言)、C项(她发现自己的一些疾病症状消失了)和D项(她醒来发现自己在另一个国家)均与短文内容不符,故排除。
