related to alzheimers (阿尔茨海默)disease jumped by 54.5 percent over 15 years, according to a new report from the u.s. centers for disease control and prevention (cdc).the disease currently affects an estimated 5.5 million people in the u.s. but that number is expected to rise dramatically in people over the age of 65 to 13.8 million in 2050.the researchers examined death certificate data from the national vital statistics system to reach their findings.keith fargo, director of the scientific program at the alzheimers association, said that the study highlighted the need for support and research into treatment of alzheimers disease.“its the only cause of death in the top 10 that does not have a way to prevent it or stop it,” fargo told abc news.cdc researchers did not study why there was an increase but reported the result of the phenomenon might be that more people were surviving to old age. they found from 1999 to 2005 the greatest increase in the death rate related to alzheimers disease was in people over the age of 85.fargo said he was discouraged to see in the report that 24.9 percent of people with alzheimers disease were dying at home rather than in a medical facility.“before you die people become completely bed bound,” said fargo. “it requires an intense level of caregiving to the end.”fargo said the fact that more people were dying at home indicated that people did not have the resources to get appropriate help at long-term care facilities like nursing homes. fargo said providing that level of care could burden the caregivers both emotionally and physically. the cdc estimates caregivers provided 18.2 billion hours of unpaid care to dementia(痴呆)patients in 2015.“the caregivers for alzheimers disease have $9 billion more in medicare claims of their own, in addition to the claims of their loved ones,” fargo said. “caregiving is so stressful that it causes a lot of physical suffering.”the cdc researchers point out that increasing rates of alzheimers disease will mean more people need support to care and treat these patients.“until alzheimers can be prevented, slowed, or stopped, caregiving for persons with advanced alzheimers will remain a demanding task,” the authors wrote. “an increasing number of alzheimers deaths coupled with an increasing number of patients dying at home suggests that there is an increasing number of caregivers of persons with alzheimers. it is likely that these caregivers might benefit from interventions such as education, and case management that can reduce the potential burden of caregiving.”1.which statement is true according to the passage?a.there exist ways to prevent or stop alzheimers disease.b.alzheimers disease affects a total of 13.8 million americans.c.not all alzheimers patients can afford to live in care facilities.d.people under the age of 65 will not develop alzheimers disease.2.what might have caused the increase in the number of alzheimers patients?a.the ineffective treatment.b.the limited medical facilities.c.the growing aging population.d.the lack of health care.3.which of the following can best describe the job of the caregivers for alzheimers disease?a.unskilled but worthwhile.b.tough and competitive.c.painstaking but well-paid.d.stressful and time-consuming.参考答案完形填空语篇解读本文为励志型议论文,呼吁读者做真实的自己,做最好的自己,提高专注力和自制力,同时提醒读者做任何选择之前,考虑一下“机会成本”这个商业概念,以保证做出的选择最有意义。1.d文章一开始点题:真正幸福和成功的人,是做真实的自己,不在乎外在,而在乎内在,不关乎品牌、名望,而在于你是谁。personality个性;quality质量;talent才能;reputation名誉,名望。根据语境以及上文的not
