问题 Choose TWO letters, A-E.
Write the correct letters in boxes 20 and 21 on your answer sheet.
Which TWO of the following statements about people suffering from confabulation are true?
A They have lost cognitive abilities.
B They do not deliberately tell a lie.
C They are normally aware of their condition.
D They do not have the impetus to explain what they do not understand.
E They try to make up stories.

选项 A、 
B、 
C、 
D、 
E、 

答案B

解析 根据C段“She retained cognitive abilities,including coherent speech”这一句,即“保有认知能力”,可排除A选项。根据“Confabulators aren’t out to deceive.They engage in what Morris Moscovitch,a neuropsychologist,calls‘honest lying’”,这句是说这些患者不是故意要欺骗,而是一种“诚实的欺骗”,与B项内容相符。此外,该段还提到“Confabulating patients are nearly always oblivious to their own condition,and will earnestly give absurdly implausible explanations of why they’re in hospital,or talking to a doctor”,这里oblivious是“健忘”之意,也就是说这些病人基本上不记得他们现在的状况,C项与此不符可排除。根据“Uncertain,and obscurely distressed by their uncertainty,they are seized by a‘compulsion to narrate’:a deep-seated need to shape,order and explain what they do not understand.”这句是说他们有叙述的欲望,希望能够解释他们所不知道的内容,D项与此不符可排除。根据“Rather than forgetting,they are inventing.Chronic confabulators are often highly invent tive at the verbal level,jamming together words in nonsensical but suggestive ways.”这句是说这些病人爱编造故事,E选项与此相符。因此,本题的答案为BE。
