Question

If a person forgets names , places or facts —and has trouble with everyday things like reading or shopping —it may not mean you are getting old. It could be Alzheimer’s disease. So it’s important to see a doctor as soon as you can.
There is no cure for Alzheimer’s. But a drug called ARICEPT has been used by millions of people to help their symptoms (癥狀).
In studies, ARICEPT has been proved to work for Alzheimer’s. It has helped people improve their memory over time. It has also helped them to keep doing everyday things on their own.
Ask your doctor if ARICEPT is right for you or your loved one. It is the Number One drug for Alzheimer’s in the world. The sooner you know it’s Alzheimer’s, the better ARICEPT can help.
ARICEPT is good for many but may not be good for everyone. Some people may experience not sleeping well, feeling very tired, or not wanting to eat. In studies, these side effects weren’t serious at all and went away over time. Some people taking ARICEPT may feel light-headed. In this case you should tell your doctors because your condition may get worse.

Answer 1

【小題1】B
【小題2】D
【小題3】A

解析【小題1】B  根據第一段的內容可知，如果一個人患了老年癡呆癥，那么他的記憶就出現問題。故選項B正確。
【小題2】D  根據短文第二、三段可知，ARICEPT這種藥物并非是可以治愈老年癡呆癥，也不是延遲年齡的藥物，更不是治愈腦損壞的藥物，而是對老年癡呆癥有所幫助的藥物。故選項D正確。
【小題3】A  根據短文最后提到的“Some people taking ARICEPT may feel light-headed. In this case you should tell your doctors because your condition may get worse.”可知，light-headed意為“(因醉酒等而)頭暈目眩”故選項A正確。
