Relieving the Pain

"Exercise may be the best treatment of chronic pain,"say doctors at a new clinic for dealing with pain.
"People with chronic pain need to stop lying around,go out more,and start exercising."The instinctive
reaction to acute pain is to stop moving and to try to protect the source of pain. But it seems that this is often not
productive,especially in the case of back pain. Back pain,after headaches and tiredness,has become the third
most common reason for people to visit their doctors.Painful backs now account for millions of days off work.
Lumbar（腰部的）pains are partly the price humans pay for taking their forelimbs off the ground, but
they are made worse by a sedentary（久坐不动的）lifestyle. Lack of exercise slowly decreases the flexibility
and strength of muscles,so that it is more difficult to take pressure off the site of pain.Exercise is essential.
It releases endorphins（内啡肽）,the body's "feel-good" chemicals, which are natural painkillers. In fact,
these are so important that researchers are now looking for drugs that can maintain a comfortable level of
endorphins in the body.
Most people who go to a family doctor complaining of pain are prescribed pain-killing drugs rather than
exercise.Since finding the cause of backache is not so easy,doctors frequently do not know the precise cause
of the discomfort,and as the pain continues,sufferers end up taking stronger doses or a series of different
drugs."It's crazy,"says Dr. Brasseur,a therapist at the International Association for the Study of Pain.
"Some of them are taking different drugs prescribed by different doctors.I've just seen a patient who was
taking two drugs which turned out to be the same thing under different names."
A generation of new pain clinics now operates on the basis that drugs are best avoided.Once patients
have undergone the initial physical and psychological check up,their medication is cut down as much as
possible.Taking patients off drugs also prepares them for physical activity.
In some pain一 relief clinics,patients begin the day with muscle contraction and relaxation exercises,
followed by an hour on exercise bikes. Later in the day,they practice tai chi（太极）,self-defense,and deep
thought. This compares with an average of two-and-a-half hours' physiotherapy（理疗）a week in a traditional
hospital program."The idea is to strengthen and to increase long一lasting energy,flexibility,and confidence,"
explains Bill Wiles,a consultant pain doctor in Liverpool."Patients undergoing this therapy get back to work
and resume healthy active lifestyles much sooner than those subjected to more conservative treatment."

Backache sufferers often end up taking more than one drug to kill pain.

1.The human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us aajust to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldn’t know what’s happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture is based on the human body being open to pain. But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir (苦行僧) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle right through an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain. The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says, “This will hurts a little,” it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation, we can handle the pain without falling apart.

    Stomach Ulcer

    Stomach ulcers are the cause of severe pain for many people.Doctors have been able to help lessen the
    pain of ulcers.They could not cure them.Now doctors have discovered a cause of ulcers.This means they
    may have found a way to cure people who suffer from the stomach pain.Studies show that ten percent of the
    population will develop an ulcer at some time in their lives.So a possible cure is good news for many people.
    Ulcers are wounds in the stomach that are similar to small cuts or tears.These wounds can harm the
    tissue in the stomach,the pipe that carries the food to the stomach or parts of the small intestines.Fluids in
    the stomach then increase the pain of an ulcer. How does a person know he or she has an ulcer? Doctors say
    most people with ulcers feel a burning pain in their chests or stomachs.This pain is often called heartburn.It
    usually happens before eating or during the night. It causes some people to lose their desire to eat,or they are
    unable to keep food in their stomachs.Doctors believed that ulcers were caused by unusually strong stomach
    fluids,which damaged stomach tissue.Now they have discovered that most ulcers are caused by a bacterial
    organism called Hillico Bactor Pilorie or H Pilorie.H Pilorie bacteria are what make stomach produce extra
    stomach fluid.Doctors found that they can kill the bacteria with medicines called antibiotics.Health experts
    say the discovery of a cure for ulcers can save thousands of millions of dollars in medical costs.They also
    believe curing ulcers will reduce the number of people who develop stomach cancer. The number of people
    with stomach cancer is very high in Japan,Southeast Asia and parts of Africa.
    Doctors say a person is more likely to get an ulcer if someone in his or her family has had one.In fact a
    person with the family history of ulcers is three times more likely to get one than other people.There are ways
    people can protect themselves from developing an ulcer. Doctors say it is more important to reduce the amount
    of strong fluids in the stomach.To do this,doctors say,people should not smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol.
    And they say people should reduce tension in their lives.

    Some people are likely to suffer from the stomach pain at some time in their lives.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案：A
    解析：
    由文章第一段的第二、三句“Doctors have been able to help lessen the pain of ulcers.They could not cure them.”可知，过去，医生们虽然不能治愈胃溃疡，但可以减轻胃溃疡造成的疼痛。 故B为正确答案。
    由文章第一段的内容可知，医生们发现了一种能引起胃溃疡的病因，这有可能使医生 们找到治愈此病的方法，但这只是一种可能性。故B为正确答案。
    由文章第一段倒数第二句“Studies show that ten percent of the population will develop an ulcer at some time in their lives.”可知，全世界百分之十的人口在其一生中会得胃溃疡。故A 为正确答案。
    文章前两段只是说医生们找到了一种引发胃溃疡的病因，但并没有提及发现这种病因 耗费的时间或者过程。故C为正确答案。
    由文章第二段的倒数第六句“Now they have discovered that most ulcers are caused by a bacterial organism called Hillico Bactor Pilorie or H Pilorie.”可知，现在医生们发现胃溃疡是一种 细菌导致的，这是医生对胃溃疡病因理解的改变。故A为正确答案。
    借助常识和背景知识判断该句的说法正确，所以答案可能为“正确”或“没提到”。借助 题干中的特征词stomach cancer作为答案线索词，这样在第2段的结尾部分找到答案相关句 (They also believe curing ulcers will reduce the number of people who develop stomach cancer．他们 相信治愈溃疡能够减少胃癌的认输），确认题干句的说法正确。
    借助题干中的spicy food作为答案线索词，发现文章中根本没有谈到spicy food，所以判 断该题的说法为“没提到”。

    解析：
    阅读下面这篇短文，短文后列出了七个句子，请根据短文的内容对每个句子作出判断。如果该句提供的是正确信息，请选择A；如果该句提供的是错误信息，请选择B；如果该句的信息文章中没有提及，请选择C。
    【解析】
    题干意为“过去医生对于胃溃疡是无能为力”。利用题干中的细节信息词/短 语in the past, doctors作为定位线索，在第一段找到相关句：Doctors have been able to help lessen the pain of ulcers.They could not cure them．相关句意为“医生一直能够帮助减少溃疡造成的痛苦。但是他们不能治愈胃溃疡这种疾病”，由此可见在过去医生虽然不能治愈胃溃疡，但也能对这种疾病进行治疗，因此题干陈述的意义与短文内容不一致。该题主要考查对时态意义的理解：相关句使用了现在完成时态，这表明“减少胃溃疡造成的疼痛（即治疗胃溃疡）”是从过去持续到现在的动作，这也就说明在过去就能对胃溃疡进行治疗。
    题干意为“现在医生能成功地治愈胃溃疡” 该句在句意上与上题有关：一个说过去的情况，一个说现在的情况，因此从上一题的相关句的位置往下找该题相关句，同时关注题干中的细节信息词now , doctors，题干中出现的修饰词successfully在查找相关句的过程中也 需要关注，这样在第一段找到相关句：Now doctors have discovered a cause of ulcers.This means they may have found a way to cure people who suffer from the stomach pain．该句意为“现在医生们已经发现了溃疡的一种致病原因。这就意味着他们可能已经找到一种方法来治疗那些遭受到胃痛困扰的人”，由此不难看出题干与该句的内容不一致：题干在肯定地陈述一个事实：能成功治愈胃溃疡；短文说只是可能：“可能找到治疗方法”，即现在治愈胃溃疡只是一种可能（提示：混淆 “可能性”和“事实”是阅读判断题中“错误”这个答案选项常见的出题形式）。
    题干意为“有些人可能在一生中的某个时候遭受胃溃疡这种疾病的困扰”。利用题干中的细节信息词/短语some people, at some time in their life作为定位线索，这样在 第一段中找到该题相关句：Studies show that ten percent of the population（与some people 呼应）will develop an ulcer at some time in their life．该句意为“研究显示10%的人在他们一生中的某个时候可能遭受胃溃疡的困扰”。很明显，这与题干意义一致。
    题干意为“经过多年的实验后医生已经发现了溃疡的一种致病原因”。利用 题干中的细节信息词/短语doctors, a cause of ulcers,after many years of experiments作为定 位线索，在第一段找到涉及到doctor和a cause of ulcers相关的句子：Now doctors have dis-covered a cause of ulcers．该句没有提到many years of experiments“许多年的试验”，而短文中的其他部分也没有出现many years of experiments，由此可见“是否医生们是经过许多年的试验后才发现溃疡的一种致病原因”是无法从短文中了解到的信息，因此题干陈述的信息是短文中未提及的信息（提示：题干中只要有一部分信息是短文中未提及的信息，就可以由此判断题干陈述的信息是短文中未提及的信息）。
    题干意为“医生对胃溃疡的致病原因的理解已经有了变化”。利用题干中的 细节信息词/短语change, doctors's understanding, the cause of stomach ulcer作为定位线 索，这样找到相关句：Doctors believed（与 doctors' understanding呼应）that ulcers were caused（与the cause of stomach ulcer)by unusually strong stomach fluids,which damaged stomach tissue.Now they have discovered that most ulcers are caused（与the cause of stom- ach ulcer)by a bacterial organism called Hillico Bactor Pilorie or H.Pillorie．这两个句子提到“医生过去认为溃疡是由胃里超强的液体流动造成的。现在他们发现大多数的胃溃疡是由细菌造成的……”，这两个句子通过陈述医生们过去对溃疡的理解和现在对溃疡的理解来说明医生对溃疡的理解已经有了变化，很明显，题干意义就是对这两个相关句意义的概括（提示：有的题干是对短文中相关句子意义的概括总结）。
    题干意为“胃溃疡会导致胃癌”。利用题干中的细节信息短语stomach cancer 作为定位线索词，这样在第二段的结尾部分找到相关句：They also believe curing ulcers will re- duce the number of people who develop stomach cancer．该句意为“他们认为治愈溃疡能够减少患胃癌的人数”，由此可知胃溃疡是造成胃癌的一个原因，题干陈述的信息与短文内容一致。
    题干意为“喜欢吃辛辣食物的人容易患胃溃疡”。利用题干中的细节信息短语a lot of spicy food作为定位线索，结果发现短文中根本没有谈到spicy food，由此可知短文中根本没有涉及到辛辣食物和胃溃疡之间的关系，因此无法依据短文判断出是否喜欢吃辛辣食物的人容易患胃溃疡，由此判断题干陈述的信息为短文中未提及的信息。

    Stomach Ulcer
    Stomach ulcers are the cause of severe pain for many people.Doctors have been able to help lessen the pain of ulcers.They could not cure them.Now doctors have discovered a cause of ulcers.This means they may have found a way to cure people who suffer from the stomach pain.Studies show that ten percent of the population will develop an ulcer at some time in their life.So a possible cure is good news for many people.
    Ulcers are wounds in the stomach that are similar to small cuts or tears.These wounds can harm the tissue in the stomach,the pipe that carries the food to the stomach or parts of the small intestines.Fluids in the stomach then increase the pain of an ulcer.How does a person know he or she has an ulcer?Doctors say most people with ulcers feel a burning pain in their chest or stomach.This pain often is called heart burn.It usually happens before eating or during the night.It causes some people to lose their desire to eat,or they are unable to keep food in their stomachs.Doctors believed that ulcers were caused by unusually strong stomach fluids,which damaged stomach tissue.Now they have discovered that most ulcers are caused by a bacterial organism called Hillico Bactor Pilorie or H.Pillorie.H.Pillorie bacteria are what make stomach produce extra stomach fluid.Doctors found that they can kill the bacteria with medicines called antibiotics.Health experts say the discovery of a cure for ulcers can save thousands of millions of dollars in medical costs.They also believe curing ui- cers will reduce the number of people who develop stomach cancer.The number of people with stomach cancer is very high in Japan,Southeast Asia and parts of Africa.
    Doctors say a person is more likely to get an ulcer if his or her family has had one.In fact a person with the family history of ulcers is three times more likely to get one than other peo-ple.There are ways people can protect themselves from developing an ulcer.Doctors say it is more important to reduce the amount of strong fluids in the stomach.To do this,doctors say,people should not smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol.And they say people should reduce tension in their lives.

    Stomach ulcer can lead to stomach cancer.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案：A
    解析：
    阅读下面这篇短文，短文后列出了七个句子，请根据短文的内容对每个句子作出判断。如果该句提供的是正确信息，请选择A；如果该句提供的是错误信息，请选择B；如果该句的信息文章中没有提及，请选择C。
    【解析】
    题干意为“过去医生对于胃溃疡是无能为力”。利用题干中的细节信息词/短 语in the past, doctors作为定位线索，在第一段找到相关句：Doctors have been able to help lessen the pain of ulcers.They could not cure them．相关句意为“医生一直能够帮助减少溃疡造成的痛苦。但是他们不能治愈胃溃疡这种疾病”，由此可见在过去医生虽然不能治愈胃溃疡，但也能对这种疾病进行治疗，因此题干陈述的意义与短文内容不一致。该题主要考查对时态意义的理解：相关句使用了现在完成时态，这表明“减少胃溃疡造成的疼痛（即治疗胃溃疡）”是从过去持续到现在的动作，这也就说明在过去就能对胃溃疡进行治疗。
    题干意为“现在医生能成功地治愈胃溃疡” 该句在句意上与上题有关：一个说过去的情况，一个说现在的情况，因此从上一题的相关句的位置往下找该题相关句，同时关注题干中的细节信息词now , doctors，题干中出现的修饰词successfully在查找相关句的过程中也 需要关注，这样在第一段找到相关句：Now doctors have discovered a cause of ulcers.This means they may have found a way to cure people who suffer from the stomach pain．该句意为“现在医生们已经发现了溃疡的一种致病原因。这就意味着他们可能已经找到一种方法来治疗那些遭受到胃痛困扰的人”，由此不难看出题干与该句的内容不一致：题干在肯定地陈述一个事实：能成功治愈胃溃疡；短文说只是可能：“可能找到治疗方法”，即现在治愈胃溃疡只是一种可能（提示：混淆 “可能性”和“事实”是阅读判断题中“错误”这个答案选项常见的出题形式）。
    题干意为“有些人可能在一生中的某个时候遭受胃溃疡这种疾病的困扰”。利用题干中的细节信息词/短语some people, at some time in their life作为定位线索，这样在 第一段中找到该题相关句：Studies show that ten percent of the population（与some people 呼应）will develop an ulcer at some time in their life．该句意为“研究显示10%的人在他们一生中的某个时候可能遭受胃溃疡的困扰”。很明显，这与题干意义一致。
    题干意为“经过多年的实验后医生已经发现了溃疡的一种致病原因”。利用 题干中的细节信息词/短语doctors, a cause of ulcers,after many years of experiments作为定 位线索，在第一段找到涉及到doctor和a cause of ulcers相关的句子：Now doctors have dis-covered a cause of ulcers．该句没有提到many years of experiments“许多年的试验”，而短文中的其他部分也没有出现many years of experiments，由此可见“是否医生们是经过许多年的试验后才发现溃疡的一种致病原因”是无法从短文中了解到的信息，因此题干陈述的信息是短文中未提及的信息（提示：题干中只要有一部分信息是短文中未提及的信息，就可以由此判断题干陈述的信息是短文中未提及的信息）。
    题干意为“医生对胃溃疡的致病原因的理解已经有了变化”。利用题干中的 细节信息词/短语change, doctors's understanding, the cause of stomach ulcer作为定位线 索，这样找到相关句：Doctors believed（与 doctors' understanding呼应）that ulcers were caused（与the cause of stomach ulcer)by unusually strong stomach fluids,which damaged stomach tissue.Now they have discovered that most ulcers are caused（与the cause of stom- ach ulcer)by a bacterial organism called Hillico Bactor Pilorie or H.Pillorie．这两个句子提到“医生过去认为溃疡是由胃里超强的液体流动造成的。现在他们发现大多数的胃溃疡是由细菌造成的……”，这两个句子通过陈述医生们过去对溃疡的理解和现在对溃疡的理解来说明医生对溃疡的理解已经有了变化，很明显，题干意义就是对这两个相关句意义的概括（提示：有的题干是对短文中相关句子意义的概括总结）。
    题干意为“胃溃疡会导致胃癌”。利用题干中的细节信息短语stomach cancer 作为定位线索词，这样在第二段的结尾部分找到相关句：They also believe curing ulcers will re- duce the number of people who develop stomach cancer．该句意为“他们认为治愈溃疡能够减少患胃癌的人数”，由此可知胃溃疡是造成胃癌的一个原因，题干陈述的信息与短文内容一致。
    题干意为“喜欢吃辛辣食物的人容易患胃溃疡”。利用题干中的细节信息短语a lot of spicy food作为定位线索，结果发现短文中根本没有谈到spicy food，由此可知短文中根本没有涉及到辛辣食物和胃溃疡之间的关系，因此无法依据短文判断出是否喜欢吃辛辣食物的人容易患胃溃疡，由此判断题干陈述的信息为短文中未提及的信息。

    Relieving the Pain

    "Exercise may be the best treatment of chronic pain,"say doctors at a new clinic for dealing with pain.

    third most common reason for people to visit their doctors.Painful backs now account for millions of days off
    work.
    Lumbar（腰部的）pains are partly the price humans pay for taking their forelimbs off the ground , but
    they are made worse by a sedentary（久坐不动的）lifestyle. Lack of exercise slowly decreases the flexibility
    and strength of muscles,so that it is more difficult to take pressure off the site of pain.Exercise is essential.
    It releases endorphins（内啡肤）,the body's " feel-good " chemicals , which are natural painkillers. In fact,
    these are so important that researchers are now looking for drugs that can maintain a comfortable level of en-
    dorphins in the body.

    Stomach ulcers are the cause of severe pain for many people.Doctors have been able to help lessen the
    pain of ulcers.They could not cure them.Now doctors have discovered a cause of ulcers.This means they
    may have found a way to cure people who suffer from the stomach pain.Studies show that ten percent of the
    population will develop an ulcer at some time in their lives.So a possible cure is good news for many people.
    Ulcers are wounds in the stomach that are similar to small cuts or tears.These wounds can harm the
    tissue in the stomach,the pipe that carries the food to the stomach or parts of the small intestines.Fluids in
    the stomach then increase the pain of an ulcer. How does a person know he or she has an ulcer? Doctors say
    most people with ulcers feel a burning pain in their chests or stomachs.This pain is often called heartburn.It
    usually happens before eating or during the night. It causes some people to lose their desire to eat,or they are
    unable to keep food in their stomachs.Doctors believed that ulcers were caused by unusually strong stomach
    fluids,which damaged stomach tissue.Now they have discovered that most ulcers are caused by a bacterial
    organism called Hillico Bactor Pilorie or H Pilorie.H Pilorie bacteria are what make stomach produce extra
    stomach fluid.Doctors found that they can kill the bacteria with medicines called antibiotics.Health experts
    say the discovery of a cure for ulcers can save thousands of millions of dollars in medical costs.They also
    believe curing ulcers will reduce the number of people who develop stomach cancer. The number of people
    with stomach cancer is very high in Japan,Southeast Asia and parts of Africa.
    Doctors say a person is more likely to get an ulcer if someone in his or her family has had one.In fact a
    person with the family history of ulcers is three times more likely to get one than other people.There are ways
    people can protect themselves from developing an ulcer. Doctors say it is more important to reduce the amount
    of strong fluids in the stomach.To do this,doctors say,people should not smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol.
    And they say people should reduce tension in their lives.

    Now doctors can successfully cure stomach ulcers.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案：B
    解析：
    由文章第一段的第二、三句“Doctors have been able to help lessen the pain of ulcers.They could not cure them.”可知，过去，医生们虽然不能治愈胃溃疡，但可以减轻胃溃疡造成的疼痛。 故B为正确答案。
    由文章第一段的内容可知，医生们发现了一种能引起胃溃疡的病因，这有可能使医生 们找到治愈此病的方法，但这只是一种可能性。故B为正确答案。
    由文章第一段倒数第二句“Studies show that ten percent of the population will develop an ulcer at some time in their lives.”可知，全世界百分之十的人口在其一生中会得胃溃疡。故A 为正确答案。
    文章前两段只是说医生们找到了一种引发胃溃疡的病因，但并没有提及发现这种病因 耗费的时间或者过程。故C为正确答案。
    由文章第二段的倒数第六句“Now they have discovered that most ulcers are caused by a bacterial organism called Hillico Bactor Pilorie or H Pilorie.”可知，现在医生们发现胃溃疡是一种 细菌导致的，这是医生对胃溃疡病因理解的改变。故A为正确答案。
    借助常识和背景知识判断该句的说法正确，所以答案可能为“正确”或“没提到”。借助 题干中的特征词stomach cancer作为答案线索词，这样在第2段的结尾部分找到答案相关句 (They also believe curing ulcers will reduce the number of people who develop stomach cancer．他们 相信治愈溃疡能够减少胃癌的认输），确认题干句的说法正确。
    借助题干中的spicy food作为答案线索词，发现文章中根本没有谈到spicy food，所以判 断该题的说法为“没提到”。

    Relieving the Pain

    "Exercise may be the best treatment of chronic pain,"say doctors at a new clinic for dealing with pain.
    "People with chronic pain need to stop lying around,go out more,and start exercising."The instinctive reac-
    tion to acute pain is to stop moving and to try to protect the source of pain.But it seems that this is often not
    productive,especially in the case of back pain.Back pain,after headaches and tiredness,has become the
    third most common reason for people to visit their doctors.Painful backs now account for millions of days off
    work.
    Lumbar（腰部的）pains are partly the price humans pay for taking their forelimbs off the ground , but
    they are made worse by a sedentary（久坐不动的）lifestyle. Lack of exercise slowly decreases the flexibility
    and strength of muscles,so that it is more difficult to take pressure off the site of pain.Exercise is essential.
    It releases endorphins（内啡肤）,the body's " feel-good " chemicals , which are natural painkillers. In fact,
    these are so important that researchers are now looking for drugs that can maintain a comfortable level of en-
    dorphins in the body.
    Most people who go to a family doctor complaining of pain are prescribed pain-killing drugs rather than
    exercise.Since finding the cause of backache is not so easy,doctors frequently do not know the precise cause
    of the discomfort,and as the pain continues,sufferers end up taking stronger doses or a series of different
    drugs."It's crazy,"says Dr. Brasseur,a therapist at the International Association for the Study of Pain.
    "Some of them are taking different drugs prescribed by different doctors.I've just seen a patient who was tak-
    ing two drugs which turned out to be the same thing under different names."
    A generation of new pain clinics now operates on the basis that drugs are best avoided.Once patients
    have undergone the initial physical and psychological check up,their medication is cut down as much as pos-
    sible.Taking patients off drugs also prepares them for physical activity.
    In some pain-relief clinics,patients begin the day with muscle contraction and relaxation exercises,fol-
    lowed by an hour on exercise bikes. Later in the day , they practice tai chi（太极）,self-defense , and deep
    thought. This compares with an average of two-and-a-half hours' physiotherapy（理疗）a week in a traditional
    hospital program."The idea is to strengthen and to increase long-lasting energy,flexibility,and confidence,"
    explains Bill Wiles,a consultant pain doctor in Liverpool."Patients undergoing this therapy get back to work
    and resume healthy active lifestyles much sooner than those subjected to more conservative treatment."

    Doctors often use drugs such as endorphins to treat patients.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案：B
    解析：
    短文第一段第二句说到有慢性病的人不应总躺着，要多出去走走，要开始运动。因此 该判断错误。
    短文第一段倒数第二句只说了人们经常因头痛去医院，但没有提到引起头痛的原因。

    解析：
    阅读下面这篇短文，短文后列出了七个句子，请根据短文的内容对每个句子作出判断。如果该句提供的是正确信息，请选择A；如果该句提供的是错误信息，请选择B；如果该句的信息文章中没有提及，请选择C。
    【解析】
    题干意为“过去医生对于胃溃疡是无能为力”。利用题干中的细节信息词/短 语in the past, doctors作为定位线索，在第一段找到相关句：Doctors have been able to help lessen the pain of ulcers.They could not cure them．相关句意为“医生一直能够帮助减少溃疡造成的痛苦。但是他们不能治愈胃溃疡这种疾病”，由此可见在过去医生虽然不能治愈胃溃疡，但也能对这种疾病进行治疗，因此题干陈述的意义与短文内容不一致。该题主要考查对时态意义的理解：相关句使用了现在完成时态，这表明“减少胃溃疡造成的疼痛（即治疗胃溃疡）”是从过去持续到现在的动作，这也就说明在过去就能对胃溃疡进行治疗。
    题干意为“现在医生能成功地治愈胃溃疡” 该句在句意上与上题有关：一个说过去的情况，一个说现在的情况，因此从上一题的相关句的位置往下找该题相关句，同时关注题干中的细节信息词now , doctors，题干中出现的修饰词successfully在查找相关句的过程中也 需要关注，这样在第一段找到相关句：Now doctors have discovered a cause of ulcers.This means they may have found a way to cure people who suffer from the stomach pain．该句意为“现在医生们已经发现了溃疡的一种致病原因。这就意味着他们可能已经找到一种方法来治疗那些遭受到胃痛困扰的人”，由此不难看出题干与该句的内容不一致：题干在肯定地陈述一个事实：能成功治愈胃溃疡；短文说只是可能：“可能找到治疗方法”，即现在治愈胃溃疡只是一种可能（提示：混淆 “可能性”和“事实”是阅读判断题中“错误”这个答案选项常见的出题形式）。
    题干意为“有些人可能在一生中的某个时候遭受胃溃疡这种疾病的困扰”。利用题干中的细节信息词/短语some people, at some time in their life作为定位线索，这样在 第一段中找到该题相关句：Studies show that ten percent of the population（与some people 呼应）will develop an ulcer at some time in their life．该句意为“研究显示10%的人在他们一生中的某个时候可能遭受胃溃疡的困扰”。很明显，这与题干意义一致。
    题干意为“经过多年的实验后医生已经发现了溃疡的一种致病原因”。利用 题干中的细节信息词/短语doctors, a cause of ulcers,after many years of experiments作为定 位线索，在第一段找到涉及到doctor和a cause of ulcers相关的句子：Now doctors have dis-covered a cause of ulcers．该句没有提到many years of experiments“许多年的试验”，而短文中的其他部分也没有出现many years of experiments，由此可见“是否医生们是经过许多年的试验后才发现溃疡的一种致病原因”是无法从短文中了解到的信息，因此题干陈述的信息是短文中未提及的信息（提示：题干中只要有一部分信息是短文中未提及的信息，就可以由此判断题干陈述的信息是短文中未提及的信息）。
    题干意为“医生对胃溃疡的致病原因的理解已经有了变化”。利用题干中的 细节信息词/短语change, doctors's understanding, the cause of stomach ulcer作为定位线 索，这样找到相关句：Doctors believed（与 doctors' understanding呼应）that ulcers were caused（与the cause of stomach ulcer)by unusually strong stomach fluids,which damaged stomach tissue.Now they have discovered that most ulcers are caused（与the cause of stom- ach ulcer)by a bacterial organism called Hillico Bactor Pilorie or H.Pillorie．这两个句子提到“医生过去认为溃疡是由胃里超强的液体流动造成的。现在他们发现大多数的胃溃疡是由细菌造成的……”，这两个句子通过陈述医生们过去对溃疡的理解和现在对溃疡的理解来说明医生对溃疡的理解已经有了变化，很明显，题干意义就是对这两个相关句意义的概括（提示：有的题干是对短文中相关句子意义的概括总结）。
    题干意为“胃溃疡会导致胃癌”。利用题干中的细节信息短语stomach cancer 作为定位线索词，这样在第二段的结尾部分找到相关句：They also believe curing ulcers will re- duce the number of people who develop stomach cancer．该句意为“他们认为治愈溃疡能够减少患胃癌的人数”，由此可知胃溃疡是造成胃癌的一个原因，题干陈述的信息与短文内容一致。
    题干意为“喜欢吃辛辣食物的人容易患胃溃疡”。利用题干中的细节信息短语a lot of spicy food作为定位线索，结果发现短文中根本没有谈到spicy food，由此可知短文中根本没有涉及到辛辣食物和胃溃疡之间的关系，因此无法依据短文判断出是否喜欢吃辛辣食物的人容易患胃溃疡，由此判断题干陈述的信息为短文中未提及的信息。

    题意：现在，医生能成功地治愈胃溃疡。根据文章第一段第五句…they may have found a way to cure people…和最后一句a possible cure…可知，医生可能发现了治疗方法，这种方法是a possible cure，所以题干叙述错误，故本题选B。


    题意：有些人可能会在人生的某个阶段患胃溃疡。根据文章第一段倒数第二句…ten percent… develop an ulcer at some time in their life可知，有10％的人可能会在人生的某个阶段患胃溃疡。所以题干叙述正确。故本题选A。


    题意：医生们经过多年的实验发才发现了造成溃疡的原因。文章并未提及many years of experiments，故本题选C。


    题意：对造成胃溃疡的原因，医生们的看法有了变化。根据文章第二段第八、九句Doctors believed that ulcers were caused by…Now they have discovered that…可知，医生们过去认为胃溃疡是由浓胃液损失胃组织引起的，而现在他们发现大部分胃溃疡是由 细菌造成的。所以题干叙述正确。故本题选A。


    题意：胃溃疡能导致胃癌。根据文章第二段倒数第二句…reduce the number of…stomach cancer可知，医生们相信治愈胃溃疡能降低患胃癌的人数，由此推断题干叙述正确。故本题选A。

    Acupuncture一Old Chinese Medicine

    For more than 4,000 years people in Asia have used acupuncture to treat illnesses.________ (46)Today acupuncture is also very popular in Europe,America and Australia.
    Acupuncture can control pain and sickness.It can also be used if you have a headache or back pain.Some doctors use acupuncture along with regular treatments for asthma,high blood pressure or stress.________(47)Some people think that acupuncture can treat depression and even help people to stop smoking. Many patients feel more energy after a treatment,while others may feel more relaxed.
    People who practice acupuncture must take courses to learn how to do it correctly._________(48)
    During treatment the patient lies down and needles are stuck into certain points of the body. There are hundreds of possible points and each one has a certain effect on the body._________(49) For example you stick a needle into the hand to treat problems with your stomach.
    Acupuncture needles are made of metal and about as thick as a human hair. They normally go less than one cm into the skin.When they are in the skin the acupuncturist may twist them or send electricity through them.The patients rest for a short time and then the needles are removed.
    Acupuncture normally doesn't hurt. There is also a milder form of acupuncture called acupressure where you don't need needles.Doctors use their fingers to press the points of the body.
    Chinese medicine teaches us that all acupuncture points are located along pathways called meridians.Each of these meridians carries energy,which the Chinese call "qi" to certain points of the body.If this "qi" gets blocked from an area the person will get sick or feel pain.Sticking needles into the correct points can help "qi" flow again and make the person well.
    Doctors today are not sure how acupuncture really works.They have not found any proof that these pathways of energy really exist.Some think that needles cause the body to produce pain killing substances.________(50)Some also say that acupuncture only works because patients believe in it.

    _________（50）
    A:In many places,especially outside of Asia,only doctors are allowed to perform acupuncture.
    B:The earliest written record of acupuncture is found in the Huangdi Neijing.
    C:Doctors have even used acupuncture to stop pain during an operation.
    D:The points can also be very far away from the place of pain.
    E:Others think that the needles block pain signals that travel along the nerves to the brain.
    F: It is an old Chinese form of healing in which your skin is pierced with thin needles to relieve pain.

    答案：E
    解析：
    本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。第一句泛泛介绍针灸，接着就对针灸做了一个较为详细的定义：这种古老的中国疗法采用针刺进皮肤的方式来缓解疼痛。让对针灸不了解的人对于“什么是针灸”有个较为具体的概念。因此选F。
    本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。第二段主要介绍针灸的疗效，前一句中说：有些医生采用针灸结合常规方法来治疗哮喘、高血压或者是精神紧张。后一句说：有人认为针灸可以治疗抑郁症，甚至可以帮助人们戒烟。由此推断中间这句依然讲的是针灸在医学治疗领域的作用。因此选C，有些医生甚至使用针灸来实现手术过程中的止疼。
    本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解。该段主要讲的是针灸师的行医资格。因此选A，在很多地方尤其是亚洲以外的地方，只有医生才能够进行针灸治疗。
    本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解。下一句：例如你会将针扎入手部来治疗胃部的毛病。可以推断这个例子是为了说明前面的论断，即D选项：这些穴位有可能离疼痛的位置很远。
    本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解。本段主要讲医生们依然不知道针灸产生疗效的科学原理是什么，人们纷纷进行推测，前一句和后一句中都出现some，因此介于二者中间的这句应该也是关于这个疗效原理的推理，即E选项：其他人则认为针会阻止疼痛信号沿着神经抵达大脑。并且some和others形成一个句式：有些人······其他人······

    Relieving the Pain

    "Exercise may be the best treatment of chronic pain,"say doctors at a new clinic for dealing with pain.
    "People with chronic pain need to stop lying around,go out more,and start exercising."The instinctive
    reaction to acute pain is to stop moving and to try to protect the source of pain. But it seems that this is often not
    productive,especially in the case of back pain. Back pain,after headaches and tiredness,has become the third
    most common reason for people to visit their doctors.Painful backs now account for millions of days off work.
    Lumbar（腰部的）pains are partly the price humans pay for taking their forelimbs off the ground, but
    they are made worse by a sedentary（久坐不动的）lifestyle. Lack of exercise slowly decreases the flexibility
    and strength of muscles,so that it is more difficult to take pressure off the site of pain.Exercise is essential.
    It releases endorphins（内啡肽）,the body's "feel-good" chemicals, which are natural painkillers. In fact,
    these are so important that researchers are now looking for drugs that can maintain a comfortable level of
    endorphins in the body.
    Most people who go to a family doctor complaining of pain are prescribed pain-killing drugs rather than
    exercise.Since finding the cause of backache is not so easy,doctors frequently do not know the precise cause
    of the discomfort,and as the pain continues,sufferers end up taking stronger doses or a series of different
    drugs."It's crazy,"says Dr. Brasseur,a therapist at the International Association for the Study of Pain.
    "Some of them are taking different drugs prescribed by different doctors.I've just seen a patient who was
    taking two drugs which turned out to be the same thing under different names."
    A generation of new pain clinics now operates on the basis that drugs are best avoided.Once patients
    have undergone the initial physical and psychological check up,their medication is cut down as much as
    possible.Taking patients off drugs also prepares them for physical activity.
    In some pain一 relief clinics,patients begin the day with muscle contraction and relaxation exercises,
    followed by an hour on exercise bikes. Later in the day,they practice tai chi（太极）,self-defense,and deep
    thought. This compares with an average of two-and-a-half hours' physiotherapy（理疗）a week in a traditional
    hospital program."The idea is to strengthen and to increase long一lasting energy,flexibility,and confidence,"
    explains Bill Wiles,a consultant pain doctor in Liverpool."Patients undergoing this therapy get back to work
    and resume healthy active lifestyles much sooner than those subjected to more conservative treatment."

    To treat pain,patients should stop moving around.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案：B
    解析：
    短文第一段第二句说到有慢性病的人不应总躺着，要多出去走走，要开始运动。因此 该判断错误。
    短文第一段倒数第二句只说了人们经常因头痛去医院，但没有提到引起头痛的原因。
    短文第二段第二句说到缺乏锻炼使人们有疼痛的压力，相反，锻炼能减轻人们的疼痛。
    短文第二段最后一句提到医生正在寻找一种含有咖啡肤的药，而不是给病人们用这 种药。
    短文第三段第二句中的“taking stronger doses or a series of different drugs"，与“taking more than one drug”相对应。
    短文中并没有提到传统的治疗（traditional treatment)，故选C。
    短文第四段提到新的诊所提议尽量避免用药或尽量少用药而没有要求病人完全不 用药。第3部分：概括大意与完成句子
