英語四級閱讀理解練習題

　　The Chinese have used a method called acupuncture(針灸)to perform operations for about 4,000 years without putting the patient to sleep. This involves placing flexible needles into certain parts of the body. The needles are available in a number of stores in China and anyone may buy them.

　　To learn how to use the needles takes about one month of training. But to be skillful requires greater time. The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to put in the needles so the needles themselves are not painful. This person also knows where to place the needles so the patient feels no pain in the area where the operation is to be performed. A particular operation might require 25 or more needles placed in various parts of the body. But now this operation requires only 3 or 4 needles.

　　Today, the Chinese doctors are trying to learn more about acupuncture. They are trying to develop a convincing theory to explain how the needles work in preventing pain, or why a needle in the wrist, for example, would prevent the pain in the area of the mouth.

　　A patient who needs an operation is given a choice between having acupuncture or having one of the chemicals used for putting him to sleep. It has been estimated that over half of the patients choose acupuncture because there is no sickness after the operation because the chemical may make the patient sick for a few hours or a day.

　　答案與解析：

　　1.A。答案在第一段的第一句話:“中國人用針灸進行手術(shù)已經(jīng)有4000年的歷史了”，因此可以斷定針灸是個醫(yī)學手術(shù)。

　　2.C。答案在第二段的第三句話和第四句話。“The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to put in the needles so the needles themselves are not painful. This person also knows where to place the needles so the patient feels no pain in the area where the operation is to be performed.”針灸的醫(yī)生知道如何扎針，針就不會疼;同時知道把針放在什么位置病人就不會感覺痛。因此A，B，D都符合文章的內(nèi)容。但是并沒有提到他知道如何進行手術(shù)來治好病人。只有C是錯誤的。

　　3.D。答案在第二段的第一句話�！癟o learn how to use the needles takes about one month of training.”學會針灸要花費一個月的時間進行培訓。

　　4.B。A,C,D均不符合文章的內(nèi)容.從文章第二段的最后兩句話“A particular operation might require 25 or more needles placed in various parts of the body. But now this operation requires only 3 or 4 needles.”說明如今針灸手術(shù)比過去用的針少了，只有B 符合題意。

　　5.B。從文章的內(nèi)容來看,A，C，D均不符合。從文章 第二段開始談到針灸時用的針比過去減少了;第三段又說醫(yī)生正在學習更多的針灸知識;例如：他們正在試圖總結(jié)一些可信的理論，針如何能減輕痛苦?為什么把針扎在腰上而能減輕嘴部的疼痛?最后一段又談到，據(jù)估計一半多的病人愿意選擇針灸治療,因為針灸可以除病。因此可以斷定：中國人的針灸技術(shù)越來越精湛,越來越有效。B是正確答案。
