A British study found that B vitamins could reduce brain shrinkage in older people with mild memory loss. It showed that B vitamins caused an average one-third reduction in brain shrinkage among adults who had trouble in remembering. Retired Oxford University pharmacology（药理学） professor David Smith was a leader of the study. He praised the use of the vitamins as simple and safe. He also said researchers do not yet know if B vitamins could prevent or slow Alzheimer's disease（阿尔茨海默病）. vitamins are important for good health. These complex organic substances help to carry out chemical changes within cells. If we do not get enough of the vitamins we need in our food, we are at risk of developing a number of diseases. Some shrinkage of the brain is thought to happen normally as people grow older. Yet studies have shown a link between a larger shrinkage and Alzheimer's disease. The Oxford researchers say about one in six people over age seventy has problems with mental operations. They say half of these people develop serious loss of mental ability, as in Alzheimer's disease. Over time, the disease robs people of their memories. Finally, it takes away their ability to care for themselves.31. According to the British study, B vitamins can help people who have trouble in _.

题目解答
答案
31. 根据英国的这项研究，B族维生素可以帮助____方面有问题的人。由题干中的“the British study”（英国的这项研究），我们定位到文章的第一段，由第二句：“It showed that B vitamins caused an average one-third reduction in brain shrinkage among adults who had trouble in remembering.”（这项研究表明，在记忆力有问题的成年人中，B族维生素能使大脑萎缩程度平均降低三分之一。）由此可知，B族维生素可以帮助记忆有问题的人。动词remember有“记得，记住”的意思，设空处前面是介词“in”（在......方面），介词后面可以接动名词作宾语，remember的动名词形式是remembering。故填remembering。
