问题    Researchers at Yale University Medical School and the Olin Neuropsychiatry Research Center at the Institute of Living in Hartford, Conn. , have taken a pretty good look at what happens in the brain of a drunken driver. And it isn’t pretty.
   Using【C1】______scans, the scientists compared the neural activity that【C2】______on and off like lights on a police car as both sober【C3】______game.
   The maps of activity in different areas of the brain【C4】______in new detail the impact that drinking has on a complicated【C5】______task such as driving.
   "No one had seen that in a scanner【C6】______, " said Dr. Godfrey Pearlson, a Yale psychiatrist and director of the Olin Center.
   Pearlson and Vince Calhoun, a researcher at Yale and Olin, first conducted brain scans on【C7】______drivers as they played the driving simulation game and then as they watched others play the game.
   Those scans gave the researchers a baseline of【C8】______activity in the unimpaired driver. Subjects were then given a low dose or a high dose of booze—enough to get their blood alcohol content to either 0. 04 percent or 0. 10 percent.
   An inebriated driver often will speed because alcohol has affected the cerebellum, a primitive area of the brain involved in【C9】______function, the researchers found But drunken drivers【C10】______in and out of traffic because of errors in the front parietal cortex, which translates sensory information and helps in the decision-making process, Pearlson said.
   Drinking did not seem to change activity in five other areas of the brain associated with driving, such as vision centers, the researchers found.
   But to the surprise of no one, the more the subjects drank, the more trouble they had with their driving.
【C7】
选项 A、inebriated
B、drinking
C、sober
D、sane
答案C
解析 根据上下文得知，该实验应该是先对未喝酒的驾驶员进行实验。因此选sober意为“清醒的，未醉的”。
