阅读理解 When Emma Yang was 7 or 8 years old, her grandmother became increasingly forgetful. Over the next few years, those memory problems, caused by early Alzheimer's disease (阿尔茨海默病), worsened. Yang, who learned to code at an early age, decided to create an app to help. Her app is called Timeless. Alzheimer's patients can scroll through photos of friends and family, and the app will tell them who the person is and how they're related to the patient using facial recognition technology. If a patient doesn't recognize someone in the same room, they can take a picture and the technology will also try to automatically recognize them. The app also includes a simple reminder screen that lists appointments for the day, and a simple contacts screen that shows photos of family members along with names. A "me" page shows the patient's own name, age, phone number, and address. The app is still in development, and Yang doesn't yet have evidence that it will work. But she is optimistic that it can help. She says, "A lot of times people think that it's not going to help, or the elderly can't really use the technology, but in fact, if you introduce it to them, it's actually a possibility that it can really benefit their lives." Scrolling through the labeled photos, Katherine Possin says, can be a type of social activity for the patients, helping keep family members and friends in mind. It can also strengthen memory. "I think it can be very helpful for patients to recall memories that are important to them and make them stronger and more flexible in the face of the disease." （1） What made Yang develop the app Timeless? A . Her poor memory. B . Her grandmother's disease. C . Her problems in learning. D . Her interest in coding. （2） How can the app Timeless help Alzheimer's patients? A . It can make a call to others by itself. B . It introduces technological products to patients. C . It helps patients recognize others with pictures. D . It has a page for patients to receive information. （3） What does Yang think of her Timeless? A . It will be cheaper. B . It will do her good. C . It will help treat Alzheimer's disease. D . It will be useful to Alzheimer's patients. （4） What can we infer from the last paragraph? A . Possin thinks highly of Yang's Timeless. B . Possin will help Yang develop the app. C . Possin will use Timeless to strengthen her memory. D . Possin isn't afraid of Alzheimer's disease. 答案： B C D A
