Although often described as a means of pain relief, it is in fact used to treat people with a
2、 wide range of illnesses. Its focus is on improving the overall well being of the patient, rather than the isolated treatment of specific symptoms. According to traditional Chinese philosophy, our health is dependent on the bodys motivating energy known as Qi moving in a smooth and balanced way thro
3、ugh a series of meridians (channels) beneath the skin. Qi consists of equal and opposite qualities Yin and Yang and when these become unbalanced, illness may result. By inserting fine needles into the channels of energy, an acupuncturist can stimulate the bodys own healing response and help restore
4、its natural balance. The flow of Qi can be disturbed by a number of factors. These include emotional states such as anxiety, stress, anger, fear or grief, poor nutrition, weather conditions, hereditary factors, infections, poisons or trauma. The principal aim of acupuncture in treating the whole per
5、son is to recover the equilibrium between the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of the individual.2. Several processes have been proposed to explain acupunctures effects, primarily those on pain. Acupuncture points are believed to stimulate the central nervous system (the brain and spinal co
6、rd) to release chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals either change the experience of pain or release other chemicals, such as hormones, that influence the bodys self-regulating systems. The biochemical changes may stimulate the bodys natural healing abilities and promot
7、e physical and emotional well-being.3. Many people come to acupuncturists for help with specific symptoms or conditions. These might include anxiety states, arthritis (关节炎), asthma (哮喘), back pain, circulatory problems, depression, facial paralysis (面部瘫痪), fibrositis (肌风湿病), high blood pressure, ind
8、eterminate aches and pains, infertility, menstrual problems, migraines (偏头痛), rheumatism (风湿病), sciatica (坐骨神经痛), skin conditions or ulcers (溃疡).Acupuncture is a safe treatment for all, although for babies and children, pressure rather than needles may be used. Acupuncture has proved to be effective
9、 in pregnancy management and for the relief of pain in childbirth. It is also helpful for people trying to overcome addictions such as those related to smoking, alcohol, food or drugs. Some people may have acupuncture as a preventive measure to strengthen their constitution, or because they feel unw
10、ell in themselves without being ill in the Western sense. It can also be used alongside conventional medicine in the treatment of both acute and chronic disease. As with any therapy, the response to acupuncture can differ from one person to another.4. Each patient is unique. The number and frequency
11、 of treatments will vary from patient to patient. Some symptoms are relieved after the first treatment, while others may take four to ten treatments. While a specific problem is being worked on, you may visit your acupuncturist once or twice a week, and gradually reduce the frequency to once or twic
12、e a month. To simply maintain good health, you may limit your treatments to once every season - four times a year.5. To enhance (增强) the value of a treatment, the following guidelines are important: Do not eat an unusually large meal immediately before or after your treatment. Do not over-exercise,
13、engage in sexual activity, or consume alcoholic beverages within 6 hours before or after the treatment. Plan your activities so that after the treatment you can get some rest, or at least not have to be working at top-performance level. This is especially important for the first few visits. Continue
14、 to take any prescription medicines as directed by your regular doctor. Substance abuse (drugs and alcohol) especially in the week prior to treatment, will seriously interfere with the effectiveness of acupuncture treatments. Remember to keep good mental or written notes of what your response is to
15、the treatment. This is important for your doctor to know so that the follow-up treatments can be designed to best help you and your problem.(A) How Many Treatments Will I Need(B) What to Expect During Your Treatment(C) What is Acupuncture (D) What Does It Feel Like(E) How Does Acupuncture Work (G) H

44、lief 8. stained 9. wrist 10. overeatingIII. 1. B。考查交际用语。You cant be serious!意为“你不是在开玩笑吧!”2. C。考查冠词。发烧 “have / run a temperature”，temperature前要有a。第二空illness表示前面提到的病，故用定冠词the。treatment作“治疗”时，是不可数名词。又如： be under treatment (在接受治疗)。3. A。考查短语动词。let out意为“放出；发出；泄漏（秘密）；放宽（衣服）”，这里指“不留神说出；泄漏（秘密）”。make out意为“勉
45、强分辨出；理解；（事物）顺利进行”，不合题意。4. D。 point在这里指“时刻，关键时刻；临近时刻”，引导定语从句时关系副词用when。又如：There will come to a point when computers will be able to detect smells in the future. (将来总有一天计算机能够觉察气味)。point有时也可指“要点，问题所在；地步，程度”，这时引导定语从句关系副词用where。如：He has reached the point where nothing seems to be important any more. (他已经
46、到了一切都似乎无所谓的地步。)5. A。考查短语动词。look for这里指“期待”。call for意为“需要”。take up意为“从事；占有”。 give up意为“放弃”。6. B。 base on 意为“把建立在的基础上”。根据题意：base our thinking on actual knowledge。on which引导的不定式短语在句中作定语。7. C。考查动词。promote促进，增进，助长。句意时：两国之间文化的交流增进了两国人民的了解和友谊。8. C。句意为“他总是精力充沛，仿佛从不知道疲劳”。strength意为“力量、力气”。energy为“精力、干劲、能量”。f
47、orce是“力、力量、影响力”的意思。spirit用复数形式，意为“情绪、精神”。根据题意选C。9. C。根据题意应用被动语态，排除A、D。而B用closed不准确，应用were blocked“被阻塞”。10. B。本题主要考查形容词的意义、用法区别。从句做主语时，不能用sure做表语，从而排除A；aloud，loudly是描述性副词，不能做表语：故本题答案选B。11. B。develop意为“使人/ 物发展成为”。句意为：新鲜的空气和锻炼能够使人身体健康。12. B。本题主要考查对句子逻辑的理解。根据前后两个句子的意思，演讲时，美国人用笑话开头，而日本人用道歉开头，表示对比关系，于是，句子间用while，因此，本题的正确答案选B。13. C。选项A表达不正确，应为most of the people。 B不与people连用，表示“一部分”，常用a great part of。D作主语，谓语应用单数形式。答案为C。14. A。suggest“暗示着，意味着”。此句意为“东边天空发白，预示着这场暴雨很快就会过去”。15. C。情态动词should在这里意为“竟然；居然”，表示惊讶。IV. 1-5 ACADA 6-10 BDBBC 11-15 BADCB 16-20 ACBAD V. ACABA
