Ear Breakthrough
(1) New research published in the journal Current Biology has added significantly to understanding of how the ear works, giving hope to millions of deaf and hard of heating people.
(2) The latest research, conducted by Dr. Jorg T. Albet, a Deafness Research UK research fellow at the UCL Ear Institute, together with scientists at the University of Cologne, shows that fruit flies have ears which mechanically amplify sound signals in a remarkably similar way to the sensory (感覺的) cells found in the inner ear of vertebrates (脊椎動物) including humans.
The finding means that the wealth of genetic techniques already available to study the fruit fly can now be used to target how the ear works.
(3) Dr. Albert says. "The biophysical parallels between the ways both fruit flies and humans convert sound into nerve signals are truly amazing. We may be allowed to hope that these mechanistic (機械學的) similarities extend further down to the genes and molecules that bring about heating. But even if it finally should turn out that heating in fruit flies relies on different molecules than does heating in humans, the little fruit fly can help us find answers to some key questions of hearing research and- what is sometimes even more important- will surely help us ask the right questions. "
(4) The work is welcomed by Deafness Research UK, the country's only medical research charity for deaf people. Vivienne Michael, chief executive of Deafness Research UK, says, "This is an important advance that paves the way toward a clear understanding of the genetics of deafness.
(5) The charity will continue to support culling-edge (尖端的) research through its Fellowship programme at the UCI. Ear institute and at other top research centres in the UK to achieve our goal of securing audical improvements in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of all forms of heating impairment"
(6) There are nine million deaf and hard of hearing people in the UK and in most cases deafness results from loss of sensory cells in the inner ear known as "hair" cells. The cells can be damaged and lost through ageing, noise, genetic defects and certain drugs and,because the cells don't regenerate, the result is progressive -and irreversible -hearing loss.
Damage to these cells can also lead to tinnitus (耳鳴), which affects around five million people in the UK.
31. Aperson who is hard of hearing is__________.
A. not able to hear properly
B. totally deaf form birth
C. unwilling to listen to others
D. ignorant of how the ear works
32. Quite a number of genetic techniques have been used__________.
A. to target how the ear works
B. to study the fruit fly
C. to stimulate sensory cells
D. to amplify sound signals
33. Fruit files and humans share similarities in how they__________.
A. ask and answer questions
B. pass on their genes
C. reproduce
D. convert sound into nerve signals
34. Vivienne Michael from Deafness Research UK highly appreciates__________.
A. the genetics of deafness
B. the charity's Fellowship programme
C. improvements in treating hearing impairment
D. the latest research conducted by rt.
35. Heating loss caused by damage to the sensory cells__________.
A. can affect five million people in the UK
B. can be progressively repaired
C. cannot be cured
D. cannot lead to tinnitus
答案與解析
31.A。細節題。題幹：有聽力障礙的人__________。利用題幹關鍵詞hard ofhearing可以定位到第一段，從中可知新的研究促進了對耳朵如何工作的理解，給上百萬的聾人以及有聽力障礙的人帶來了希望，由此可以推知那些有聽力障礙的人與耳聾的人一樣都有聽力問題，所以該題答案為A(不能準確聽到)。
32.B。細節題。題幹：很多基因技術已經被用來__________。利用題幹關鍵詞genetic techniques可定位到文章第二段的最後一句，即研究結果意味著大量的用於研究果蠅的基因技術可以用來研究人的耳朵是如何工作的，由此可知這些基因技術已經被用來研究果蠅了，所以該題答案為B(來研究果蠅)。
33.D。細節題。題幹：果蠅和人類在如何 __________ 方面存在相似性。利用關鍵詞fruit files，humans和similarity可以定位到第三段的第一句，可知t認為果蠅和人類將聲音轉化為神經訊號的方式存在生理物理學方面的相似性，這確實是令人詫異的，四個選項中只有選項D與原文資訊相關，所以該題答案為D(把聲音轉化為神經訊號)。
34.D。細節題。題幹：來自耳聾研究中心的Vivienne Michael贊成。利用題幹關鍵詞Vivienne Michael可以定位到第四段的第二句，可知Vivienne Michael認為這是項重要的進步，為清晰地瞭解耳聾的遺傳學做了很好的鋪墊，而這項進步指的'就是指rt開展的最新研究的最新發現，所以該題答案為D(rt開展的最新研究)。
35.c。細節題。題幹：因為感知細胞受損引起的聽力喪失__________。利用題幹關鍵詞damage to the sensory cells可以定位到文章最後一段，可知這些感知細胞因為衰老、基因缺陷以及某些藥品而受到破壞甚至失去，因為這些細胞不能繁殖，結果就導致逐漸的但是不可逆的聽力的喪失，同時也會導致耳鳴，所以該題答案為C(無法治癒)。
