问题     The Chinese have used a method called acupuncture (针灸) to perform operations for about 4,000 years without putting the patient to sleep. This involves placing flexible needles into certain parts of the body. The needles are available in a number of stores in China and anyone may buy them.
    To learn how to use the needles takes about one month of training. But to be skillful requires greater time. The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to put in the needles so the needles themselves are not painful. This person also knows where to place the needles so the patient feels no pain in the area where the operation is to be performed. A particular operation might require 25 or more needles placed in various parts of the body. But now this operation requires only 3 or 4 needles.
    Today, the Chinese doctors are trying to learn more about acupuncture. They are trying to develop a convincing theory to explain how the needles work in preventing pain, or why a needle in the wrist, for example, would prevent the pain in the area of the mouth.
    A patient who needs an operation is given a choice between having acupuncture or having one of the chemicals used for putting him to sleep. It has been estimated that over half of the patients choose acupuncture because there is no sickness after the operation because the chemical may make the patient sick for a few hours or a day.
Which is implied but not stated in the passage?
选项 A、The Chinese mainly use acupuncture to cure strange disease.
B、The Chinese are learning to be more skillful and efficient in acupuncture.
C、The Chinese have spread acupuncture all over the world.
D、Most Chinese patients prefer acupuncture to chemicals in curing diseases.
答案B
解析 推理题。从文章第二段开始谈到针灸时用的针比过去减少了；第三段又说医生正在学习更多的针灸知识；最后一段又谈到，据估计一半多的病人愿意选择针灸治疗，因为针灸可以除病。因此可以断定：中国人的针灸技术越来越精湛，越来越有效。B是正确答案。
