Traditional superstitions and beliefs 【C1】______ disappear altogether; they assume new forms and 【C2】______ to contemporary conditions. 【C3】______ in the 21st century, people may dismiss their forefather’s customs and practices 【C4】______ superstition, many are still current. A Friday which falls on the 13th of a month is widely feared as 【C5】______ , and so are spilling salt and walking 【C6】______ a ladder. Belief 【C7】______ the power of mascots is far from 【C8】______ ;the lucky rabbit’s foot, like the horseshoe, is a popular charm. Certain foods, too, 【C9】______ their ancient lore. Many people, for example, accept the old adage "an apple a day keeps the doctor away". One aspect of traditional 【C10】______ which is still very much 【C11】______ today is folk medicine. When the causes of illness were totally 【C12】______ , and disease seemed to 【C13】______ without any reason, it was often 【C14】______ to evil spirits taking over the body. To 【C15】______ the patient, the demons of disease must be driven put, and many "cures" were spells and charms intended to exorcise these. Until 【C16】______ modem limes, even "official" medicine was very unpleasant, with no anaesthetics or pain-killers, and a 【C17】______ success rate. Few people, in any case, could afford it, and most relied on folk healers and magic. There was an enormous range of herbal 【C18】______ , some of which have since been found to have actual healing properties. 【C19】______ were worn to ward off disease, and a wide variety of seemingly strange objects, such as church furnishings, were 【C20】______ with powers of healing.
【C16】
选项
A、comparatively
B、very
C、recently
D、constantly
答案
A
解析
根据上下文,选择comparative (相对的)是因为19,世纪才在手术时使用了麻药。此句意思为“在相对现代以前”,甚至“官方”的医学都使人感到难受——没有麻醉术,没有止痛药,治愈率很低。
