　　Ⅳ.任務型讀寫

　　請認真閱讀下列短文，并根據所讀內容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰當的單詞。

　　注意：每個空格只填1個單詞。

　　Throw the bottles and boxes of drugs out of your house. A new theory suggests that medicine could be bad for your health, which should at least come as good news to people who cannot afford to buy expensive medicine. This new theory argues that healing is at our fingertips: we can be healthy by doing Yoga on a regular basis.

　　Supporters of medical treatment argue that medicine should be trusted since it is effective and scientifically proven. They say that there is no need for spiritual methods such as Yoga. These waste our time, something which is quite precious in our material world. There is medicine that can kill our pain, x-rays that show us our bones or MRI that scans our brain for tumors (腫瘤)．

　　We must admit that these methods are very effective in the examples that they provide. However, there are some “everyday complaints” such as back pains, headaches, insomnia, which are treated currently with medicine. When you have a headache, you take an Aspirin; when you cannot sleep, you take Xanax without thinking of the side effects of these. When you use these pills for a long period, you become addicted to them; you cannot sleep without them. We pay huge amounts of money and become addicted instead of getting better. How about a safer and more economical way of healing? When doing Yoga, you do not need anything except your energy so it is very economical. Its popularity has spread particularly throughout America and Western Europe. In quantum (量子) physics, energy is recognized as the fundamental substance (物質) which the universe consists of. Yoga depends on the energy within our bodies. It is a simple and effective way of restoring the energy flow. There are no side effects and it is scientifically explained.

　　Opponents of alternative healing methods also claim that serious illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and cancer cannot be treated without drugs. They think so because these patients spend the rest of their lives in the hospital taking medicine. How can Yoga make these people healthy again? It is very unfortunate that these patients have to live in the hospital losing their hair because of chemotherapy (化療), losing weight because of the side effects of the medicine they take. Actually, it is common knowledge that except when the cancer is recognized at an early stage, drugs also cannot treat AIDS or cancer. Most of the medicines these patients use are to ease their pain and their sufferings. Instead of drugs which are expensive and have many side effects, you can use your energy to overcome the hardships of life, find an emotional balance, leave the stress of everyday life and let go of the everyday worries. We should definitely start learning Yoga and avoid illnesses before it is too late.

　　Title: Health and Healing at Your Fingertips

　　35.________ to a new theory A new theory argues that doing Yoga 36.________can keep people healthy while medicine might do 37.________ to people’s health.

　　Support of medical treatment · People should 38.________medicine as it is very useful for killing pain.

　　· Medicine is effective and scientifically proven while Yoga is a kind of spiritual method and doing Yoga is only a 39.________of time.

　　· Illnesses 40.________

　　HIV/AIDS and cancer can only be treated with drugs.

　　Support of Yoga · Doing Yoga is safer and not as 41.________ as taking medicine.

　　· Most of the medicines that patients with some 42.________diseases use are to ease their pain and their sufferings but can not cure them.

　　· Yoga has no side effects and also there is a 43.________explanation. It can restore the energy flow in people’s bodies, which can 44.________ our emotions, overcome the hardships of life, leave the stress of everyday life and let go of the everyday worries.

　　答案

　　課時作業(十八)

　　.1.A　考查介詞短語辨析。out of range表示“不在射程以內”；out of reach表示“夠不著”；out of control表示“無法控制”。英語中不說out of distance，故可首先排除。根據問句中的shoot the bird可知答案是A。

　　2．A　考查動詞短語辨析。die down表示“逐漸減弱/平息，(聲音)靜下來”；die out表示“(動物、植物物種)滅絕，(火)熄滅，(風俗、習慣等)逐漸消失”；die away表示“(風、光等)漸弱/消失”；die off表示“(一群生物)先后死去”。根據句意應選A。

　　3．C　考查動詞辨析。pass多指用手傳遞物品或口頭傳遞信息等；relay一般指無線電等轉播或把消息分程傳遞到某地；deliver多指將信件、包裹等物品發送出去或交到某地；release表示“釋放”。根據句意“你們曾承諾馬上送貨上門，但至今我們未收到任何東西”可知，答案是C。

　　4．B　考查recommend的用法。recommend后接動詞，只能接v.-ing形式，即recommend doing sth.，所以答案為B。

　　5．A　考查反意疑問句。當主句的主語不是第一人稱， 謂語動詞為think, suppose，believe，imagine，expect等，這類句型的反意疑問句要隨著主句而變化。由于該主句的主語是第三人稱的she，所以反意疑問句要隨著主句而變化。故答案應是A。

　　6．A　考查固定句式。It's like/unlike sb.(to do sth.)是一個固定句式，表示“(做某事)像/不像某人的所為”。句意：你不是一個安靜的人啊——你還好嗎，親愛的？

　　7．C　考查名詞辨析。response表示“反應”；caution表示“謹慎，小心”；tendency表示“趨勢”；tone表示“語調，語氣”。根據常識判斷可知，有一種趨勢是把錢看得比生活質量重要，故選C。

　　8．D　考查倒裝句的用法。here和there引導的倒裝句只能用一般現在時或一般過去時。根據句首的Look可知，這里只能用一般現在時表示現在發生的事。故答案為D。

　　9．A　考查動詞辨析。refresh意為“使振作精神”；drown意為“淹死，溺死”；astonish意為“使吃驚”；bend意為“彎曲”。從語境來看，選A。

　　10．A　含有ever的特殊疑問詞如：whatever, whenever, whichever, wherever, whoever等詞既可以引導讓步狀語從句又可以引導名詞性從句，而其相對應的no matter what/when/which/where/who等只能引導讓步狀語從句，不能引導名詞性從句。故選A。

　　Ⅱ.孩子的行為給作者帶來了無盡的折磨，作者常常以淚洗面，但是 擦干眼淚，她仍一如既往地履行母親的責任。畢業典禮上，當孩子把玫瑰送給她時，她情不能已，流下了幸福的眼淚。

　　11．C　第一段中提到作者在洗滌間淚流滿面，再結合本句前半句中的內容可知作者“倒”在了地上。sink to the floor表示“倒在地上”。

　　12．B　上一段的后半部分中提到他的牛仔褲和襯衫上到處都是燒的洞，由此可知Brett經常“毀壞，糟蹋”東西。C項表示“撕毀”，D項表示“打破”，都與第一段后半部分中的內容不符。

　　13．A　根據Brett燒毀衣服的這種行為和第二段第三句可推知他經常把房間中幾乎所有的東西搞得亂七八糟。此處out of order表示“出故障，不整潔”。out of place表示“不合適，不協調，格格不入”；out of trouble表示“脫離困境”；out of danger表示“脫離危險”，都不符合語境。
