【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[听力原文] In this week's edition of special series on Bizarre Medical Conditions, there's a report of the case of Michelle Myers. Myers is an American woman who woke up-one day speaking with a British accent, even though she's lived in the United States all her life. In 2015, Myers went to bed with a terrible headache. She woke up sounding like someone from England. Her British accent has remained for the past two years. Previously, Myers had woken up speaking in Irish and Australian accents. However, on both of those occasions, the accents lasted for only a week. Myers has been diagnosed with Foreign Accent Syndrome. It's a disorder in which a person experiences a sudden change to their speech so that they sound like they are speaking in a foreign accent. The condition is most often caused by a stroke or traumatic brain injury. Although people with the syndrome have intelligible speech, their manner of speaking is altered in terms of tinting and tongue placement, which may distort their pronunciation. The result is that they may sound foreign when speaking their native language. It's not clear whether Myers has experienced a stroke or other brain damage, but she also has a separate medical condition which can result in loose joints, easily bruised skin and other problems. Foreign Accent Syndrome is rare, with only about 60 cases reported within the past century. However, a different American woman reportedly spoke with the Russian accent in 2010 after she fell down the stairs and hit her head. What happened to Michelle Myers one day? 录音提到Michelle Myers是一位美国人,有一天醒来后讲话带有英国口音(British accent)。B项中的a different accent和录音中的British accent为同义替换,故选B项。 A项“她发现自己讲着一门外语”错误,她依旧说的是英语,只不过是英国口音而不是美国口音。C项“她发现一些病症消失了”以及D项“她醒来发现自己在另一个国家”,在录音中都没有提及,故都排除。
