[19-1] The thin, extremely sharp needles didn’t hurt at all going in. Dr.Gong pierced them into my left arm, around the elbow that had been bothering me. [19-2] Other needles were slipped into my left wrist and, strangely, into my right arm, and then into both my closed eyelids.
There wasn’t any discomfort, just a mild warming sensation. However, I did begin to wonder what had driven me here, to the office of Dr.James Gong, in New York’s Chinatown.
Then I remembered—the torturing pain in that left elbow. [20-1] Several trips to a hospital and two expensive, uncomfortable medical tests had failed to produce even a diagnosis. “Maybe you lean on your left arm too much,” the doctor concluded, suggesting I see a bone doctor.
[20-2] During the hours spent waiting in vain to see a bone doctor, I decided to take another track and try acupuncture. A Chinese-American friend recommended Dr.Gong. I took the subway to Gong’s second-floor office, marked with a hand-painted sign.
Dr.Gong speaks English, but not often. Most of my questions to him were greeted with a friendly laugh, but I managed to let him know where my arm hurt. He asked me to go into a room, had me lie down on a bed, and went to work. In the next room, I learned, a woman dancer was also getting a treatment. As I lay there a while, I drifted into a dream-like state and fantasized about what she looks like.
Acupuncturists today are as likely to be found on Park Avenue as on Mott Street. In all, there are an estimated 10,000 acupuncturists in the country. Nowadays, a lot of M.D.s have learned acupuncture techniques, so have a number of dentists. [21] Reason? Patient demand. Few, though, can adequately explain how acupuncture works.
Acupuncturists may say that the body has more than 800 acupuncture points. A life force called Qi circulates through the body. Points on the skin are energetically connected to specific organs, body structures and systems. Acupuncture points are stimulated to balance the circulation of Qi.
The truth is, though acupuncture is at least 2,200 years old, “nobody really knows what’s happening,” says Paul Zmiewski, a Ph.D. in Chinese studies who practices acupuncture in Philadelphia.
After five treatments, there has been dramatic improvement in my arm, and the pain is a fraction of what it was. The mainly silent Dr.Gong finally even offered a diagnosis for what troubled me. “Pinched nerve,” he said.
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the recording you have just heard.
19. What does the speaker find especially strange?
20. Why did the speaker go see Dr.Gong?
21. What accounts for the growing popularity of acupuncture in the U.S., according to the speaker?
选项
A、More and more patients ask for the treatment.
B、Acupuncture techniques have been perfected.
C、It doesn’ t need the conventional medical tests.
D、It does not have any negative side effects.
答案
A
解析
浏览四个选项,根据选项中出现的patients,perfected,need,negative side effects等词可以推测,该题可能涉及对某项治疗的具体描述。题干问的是在演讲者看来,是什么导致针灸在美国越来越受欢迎。讲座中提到,针灸越来越流行的原因是病人有需求。故答案为A(越来越多的病人要求这项治疗)。B项(针灸技术已经十分完善)、C项(它不需要常规的医疗检查)和D项(它没有任何副作用)原文均未提及,故排除。
