20、 a psychology major at the University of Nottingham in 2004. She first noticed signs of her dads developing dementia(痴呆) when she moved to Nottingham.

21、irthday and arranged to meet him, but he never appeared as hed forgotten. Thats when I knew something serious had happened. So, at the age of 21, she decided to leave university and look after him herself. She lived close by, popping in every day to make sure he was eating, and that the house was ti
22、dy, before heading off to her work. Sadly, in 2009, 5 years later, Laura lost her father. Before he died, Laura went to a hospital appointment with him, where doctors mentioned that his form ofAlzheimers disease was genetic meaning there was a fiftyfifty chance that she had inherited (遗传) it. For se
23、veral years Laura agonised over whether to be tested, finally finding out in August 2017 that she has the APP gene, meaning that, like him, she will develop the condition within a decade. At first, she struggled, feeling as if her life lacked purpose. Then, during a sleepless night in the summer of
24、2018, she decided at around 2 a. m. to enter the 2019 London Marathon sponsored (赞助) by the charities Alzheimers Society andAlzheimers Research UK. She hoped to start the conversation around earlyonsetAlzheimers disease and to encourage people to talk about it more openly. I remember when Dad was il

Devoted and modest. D Scientists may one day be able to destroy viruses in the same way that opera singers break wine
29、glasses. New research mathematically determined the frequencies at which simple viruses could be shaken to death. The capsid (壳) of a virus is something like the shell of a turtle, said physicist Otto Sankey ofArizona State University. “If the shell can be damaged by mechanical vibrations (震动), the
30、virus can be destroyed.” Recent experimental evidence has shown that laser (激光) pulses with the right frequency can kill certain viruses. However, locating these resonant (共振的) frequencies is a bit of trial and error. Experiments must try various conditions, Sankey said. To further this search, Sank
31、ey and his student Eric Dykeman have developed a way to calculate the vibrations of every atom in a virus shell. From this, they can determine the lowest resonant frequencies.An experiment has recently shown that pulses of laser light can cause destructive vibrations in virus shells. Sankey said, “L
32、ike pushing a child on a swing from rest, one sudden push gets the virus shaking.” However, it is difficult to calculate what sort of push will kill a virus, since there can be millions of atoms in its shell structure.Adirect calculation of each atoms movements would take several hundred thousand Gi
33、gabytes of computer memory, Sankey explained. The team plans to use their technique to study other, more complicated viruses. However, it is still a long way from using this to destroy the viruses in infected people. “This is such a new field, and there are so few experiments that the science has no
34、t yet had enough time to prove itself,” Sankey said. “We remain hopeful but remain skeptical at the same time.” 12. What is the new way to kill viruses? A. Replacing virusescapsids with shells. B. Breaking virusescapsids by vibration. C. Locating the position of certain viruses. D. Damaging the cond
35、itions that viruses like. 13. Why does Sankey mention “pushing a child on a swing” in Paragraph 4? A. To prove how simple the new theory is. B. To explain how to start the virus shaking. C. To suggest the idea comes from our real life. D. To show the destructive power of vibrations. 14. What is the
36、fifth paragraph mainly about? A. The shell structure of viruses. B. The lack of computer memory. C. The challenging part of the research. D. The importance of atomsmovement. 15. What is Sankeys attitude towards the theory? A. Disapproving.B. Worried. C. Uncaring.D. Positive. 第二节第二节( (共共 5 小题；每小题小题；每
