问题     New research from the United States suggests that the
millennia-old therapy of yoga could benefit millions of people who
suffered from back problems. In an article published in the Annals【M1】______
of Internal Medicine on December 20, researchers concluded that
yoga was a effective treatment for back pain than conventional【M2】______
therapy. A study conducting at the Group Health Cooperative in【M3】______
Washington State required 101 adults to follow a choice of
remedial treatments—a 12-week course in yoga, 12 weeks of
standard therapeutic exercise or the same period following
instructions in the self-help book. The results showed yoga both【M4】______

researcher Dr. Karen Sherman said this was because
"mind and body effects" were in the collusion.【M5】______

pain have modest efficacy at best. Exercise is one of the few

alternative form of ’mind-body’ therapy. It may benefit patients

effectiveness." Millions of people worldwide swear at yoga to【M10】______
improve their mental and physical health.

选项
答案literacy—literature
解析 词汇错误。literacy的意思为“识字能力；读写能力；会读写”，literature的意思为“文学作品：文献，图书资料”。此处literature与biomedical搭配，符合文意，表示“生物医药学方面的文献资料”。此处意为“然而瑜伽，作为一种运动形式，能否治疗慢性背部伤痛尚无任何生物医药学方面的文献资料证明。”
