英语四级阅读理解练习题
The Chinese have used a method called acupuncture(针灸)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.

A. a medical operation B. a medical needle C. a medical technique D. a medical machine

B. an operation now needs fewer needles than in the past

答案与解析：
1.A。答案在第一段的第一句话:“中国人用针灸进行手术已经有4000年的历史了”，因此可以断定针灸是个医学手术。
2.C。答案在第二段的第三句话和第四句话。“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.”针灸的医生知道如何扎针，针就不会疼;同时知道把针放在什么位置病人就不会感觉痛。因此A，B，D都符合文章的内容。但是并没有提到他知道如何进行手术来治好病人。只有C是错误的。
3.D。答案在第二段的第一句话。“To learn how to use the needles takes about one month of training.”学会针灸要花费一个月的时间进行培训。
4.B。A,C,D均不符合文章的内容.从文章第二段的最后两句话“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.”说明如今针灸手术比过去用的针少了，只有B 符合题意。
5.B。从文章的内容来看,A，C，D均不符合。从文章 第二段开始谈到针灸时用的针比过去减少了;第三段又说医生正在学习更多的针灸知识;例如：他们正在试图总结一些可信的理论，针如何能减轻痛苦?为什么把针扎在腰上而能减轻嘴部的疼痛?最后一段又谈到，据估计一半多的病人愿意选择针灸治疗,因为针灸可以除病。因此可以断定：中国人的针灸技术越来越精湛,越来越有效。B是正确答案。
