Parkinson’s disease was renamed after Dr. James Parkinson, an English physician who first described its symptoms in 1817, by Jean-Martin Charcot, a French neurologist and professor of anatomical pathology. This disease is a long-term degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that mainly affects the motor system. Early in the disease, the most obvious symptoms include shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement and difficulty with walking. So far scientists have no idea about what causes the disease, but many believe it involves both genetic and environmental factors. Those with a family member affected are more likely to get the disease themselves. There is also an increased risk in people exposed to certain pesticides and those who have had prior head injuries, while there is a reduced risk in tobacco smokers and those who drink coffee or tea. There is no cure for Parkinson’s disease, but medications may markedly improve the patients’ symptoms. Initial treatments typically involve taking drugs. As the disease progresses, these medications become less effective while producing a complication marked by involuntary writhing movements at the same time. Customized diets and some forms of rehabilitation have shown some effectiveness on alleviating its symptoms. This disease usually hits the victims before they or their family observe the symptoms. Also, a detected symptom would usually be ignored or treated improperly. While there is no record of recoveries, little evidence has shown that the disease is a direct contributor to death.

請試著回想一下，當一個疾病在早期還不明顯時，家屬通常需要透過什麼樣的『感官動作』才能意識到身體出了問題？如果後文說這些徵兆後來被『忽略』了，那麼在被忽略之前，家屬必須先對這些徵兆產生什麼樣的認知行為？

語境與詞義辨析
在第四段開頭，句子提到「疾病通常在患者或家屬 observe 症狀之前就已侵襲」。這裡的 observe 並非指「遵守」規範，也不是指科學上的「觀察」，而是指「覺察、注意到」身體細微變化的過程。選項 (D) perceive 意為「感知、察覺」，精準地對應了從無意識到發現症狀的認知轉換。相較之下，選項 (A) cloak（遮掩）、(C) overlook（忽略）與 (E) shun（避開）在邏輯上都無法銜接「發現徵兆」的語意，因此 (D) 是最完美的替換詞。
