问题     The Chinese have used a method called acupuncture to help perform operations for about 4,000 years without putting the patient to sleep. This involves inserting (插入)flexible needles (针)into certain parts of the body. The needles used are available in a number of stores in China and everyone may buy them.
    To learn how to use needle takes about one month of training. But to be skillful requires greater time. The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to insert 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. The needles are not necessarily inserted near the place where the pain is to be prevented. In the past, 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 (手腕), 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 whereas (然而，反之) 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、Most Chinese patients prefer acupuncture to chemicals in curing diseases.
C、The Chinese have spread acupuncture all over the world.
D、The Chinese are learning to be more skillful and efficient in acupuncture.
答案D
解析 问题是：选项中哪一项没直接陈述但隐含在原文中?选项A(中国人主要采用针灸技术治疗疑难病症)与原文内容无关；B项内容(大多数中国人治病时更愿选择针灸而不愿选择化学药剂)表达过头，因为本文只是提及手术时采用针灸的人更多，而非所有病的治疗都采用针灸；C项内容(中国人已经把针灸技术推广到了全世界)也与原文陈述无关。纵观全文，第一段提出针灸技术在中国历史悠久；第二段谈及针灸技术比以前更加先进，只需三、四针即可；第三段又说中医正在学习并逐步完善针灸技术；文中最后提出更多的患者愿意选择针灸治疗。由此可以推断出：中国人的针灸技术越来越精湛，越来越有效。所以D是正确答案，并且D项内容在原文并没有直接表达出来。
