【C7】
选项 A、owing to
B、familiar to
C、almost
D、similar to
答案D
解析 本题考查短语介词。这句话的意思是可能会在将来的十年中把癌症驯服，把它由一个可怕的疾病变成一个类似于慢性病的疾病，像糖尿病那样。A选项owing to“由于”；B选项familiar“熟悉的”。同时注意be familiar with和be familiar to的区别：be familiar with一般以人做主语，表示“(某人)对……很熟悉”；而be familiar to一般后面跟某人，表示“……对(某人)来说很熟悉”。C选项almost“几乎”。所以答案选D选项similar to“类似于”。
