[19-1] The thin, extremely sharp needles didn’t hurt at all going in. Dr.Gong pierced them into my left arm, around the elbow that had been bothering me. [19-2] Other needles were slipped into my left wrist and, strangely, into my right arm, and then into both my closed eyelids.
There wasn’t any discomfort, just a mild warming sensation. However, I did begin to wonder what had driven me here, to the office of Dr.James Gong, in New York’s Chinatown.
Then I remembered—the torturing pain in that left elbow. [20-1] Several trips to a hospital and two expensive, uncomfortable medical tests had failed to produce even a diagnosis. “Maybe you lean on your left arm too much,” the doctor concluded, suggesting I see a bone doctor.
[20-2] During the hours spent waiting in vain to see a bone doctor, I decided to take another track and try acupuncture. A Chinese-American friend recommended Dr.Gong. I took the subway to Gong’s second-floor office, marked with a hand-painted sign.
Dr.Gong speaks English, but not often. Most of my questions to him were greeted with a friendly laugh, but I managed to let him know where my arm hurt. He asked me to go into a room, had me lie down on a bed, and went to work. In the next room, I learned, a woman dancer was also getting a treatment. As I lay there a while, I drifted into a dream-like state and fantasized about what she looks like.
Acupuncturists today are as likely to be found on Park Avenue as on Mott Street. In all, there are an estimated 10,000 acupuncturists in the country. Nowadays, a lot of M.D.s have learned acupuncture techniques, so have a number of dentists. [21] Reason? Patient demand. Few, though, can adequately explain how acupuncture works.
Acupuncturists may say that the body has more than 800 acupuncture points. A life force called Qi circulates through the body. Points on the skin are energetically connected to specific organs, body structures and systems. Acupuncture points are stimulated to balance the circulation of Qi.
The truth is, though acupuncture is at least 2,200 years old, “nobody really knows what’s happening,” says Paul Zmiewski, a Ph.D. in Chinese studies who practices acupuncture in Philadelphia.
After five treatments, there has been dramatic improvement in my arm, and the pain is a fraction of what it was. The mainly silent Dr.Gong finally even offered a diagnosis for what troubled me. “Pinched nerve,” he said.
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the recording you have just heard.
19. What does the speaker find especially strange?
20. Why did the speaker go see Dr.Gong?
21. What accounts for the growing popularity of acupuncture in the U.S., according to the speaker?
选项
A、Dr. Gong didn’ t give him any conventional tests.
B、Dr. Gong marked his office with a hand-painted sign.
C、Dr. Gong didn’ t ask him any questions about his pain.
D、Dr. Gong slipped in needles where he felt no pain.
答案
D
解析
浏览四个选项,根据选项中出现的give,marked,ask,slipped in等词可以推测,该题可能涉及治疗时的具体做法。题干问的是演讲者发现了什么特别奇怪的现象。讲座开头提到,细细的、尖尖的针扎进左胳膊的时候一点也不疼,奇怪的是,其他的针扎到了演讲者的左手腕、右胳膊上,然后是紧闭的眼皮上。故答案为D(龚医生在他不疼的地方行针)。A项(龚医生没有对他进行任何常规检查)、B项(龚医生的办公室用的手工制作的门牌)和C项(龚医生没有询问任何关于他的病痛的问题)均不是演讲者觉得奇怪的地方,故排除。
