单元质量评估(四) 时间：100分钟　分数：120分 第一部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项。 A They already guide the blind and other disabled people；now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆)or Alzheimers.Alzheimers can make people confuse night and day or forget basic things such as washing and drinking enough water. The dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers(触发器)in the home that make them perform tasks.The duties will include reminding their owners to take medicine，as well as encouraging them to eat，drink and sleep regularly. The idea was developed by design students at Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practise by Alzheimer Scotland and Dogs for the Disabled.The first dogs will be distributed to four Scottish couples，where one of the partners is in the early stages of dementia.670，000 people in Britain have dementia and one in three over 65 will develop the condition.By 2021 this is expected to rise to one million. Joyce Gray of Alzheimer Scotland said，“People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life，and dogs help to maintain routine.”Another advantage of using the pets as companions is that dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship.Ms Gray said，“The evidence is that people may forget familiar faces but not pets.Its such a strong bond that people often remember them longest.People dont need to communicate verbally(口头上)but they can still interact.You can have a speechless bond.” Helen McCain，director of Dogs for the Disabled，said，“People with dementia often forget to take medicine.If a dog presents them with a bag with pills in it theres a greater chance of them taking it.The dogs would also encourage the owners to take them out for walks，ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people.” 【语篇解读】　本文为应用文。题材为新闻报道类。将狗加以训练以帮助残疾人已成为现实。现在人们正在进行一项新任务，即对狗进行训练来为患早老性痴呆病的人提供帮助。 1．In Britain people with dementia ________． A．are likely to increase in
