Passage 5
Years ago, doctors often said that pain was a normal part of life. In particular, when older patients36 of pain, they were told it was a natural part of aging and they would have to learn to live with it.
Times have changed. Today, we take pain 37 . Indeed, pain is now considered the fifth vital sign,asimportant as blood pressure, temperature, breathing rate and pulse in 38 a person’s wellbeing.We know that chronic ***慢性的***pain can disrupt ***擾亂***a person’s life, causing problems that 39from missed work to depression.
That's why a growing number of hospitals now depend upon physicians who 40 in pain medicine.Not only do we evaluate the cause of the pain, which can help us treat the pain better,but we alsohelp provide comprehensive therapy for depression and other psychological and social 41related to chronic pain. Such comprehensive therapy often 42 the work of social workers,psychiatrists ***心 理醫生***and psychologists, as well as specialists in pain medicine.
This modern 43 for pain management has led to a wealth of innovative treatments which are moreeffective and with fewer side effects than ever before. Decades ago, there were only a 44 numberof drugs available, and many of them caused 45 side effects in older people,including dizzinessand fatigue.

Passage 5
36. L根據結構,空白處與of應該構成when引導的時間狀語從句裡的謂語,它應該是個動詞且能與 of組成片語,時態為過去時。complained符合要求,與of組成片語意為抱怨。
37. G此空需填一副詞,修飾take,G和K入選。其中take sth. seriously為慣用搭配,意為“認真對 待某人或某事”。gravely更強調事情的嚴重性和嚴肅。故答案為G。
38. I空格前面有介詞in,後面有名詞作賓語,所以此處需要一個動名詞形式。句中提到的blood pressure,temperature, breathing rate和pulse都是醫生給病人進彳了診斷的依據,所以此處填入有 “診斷,確定”意義的詞determining。
39. D此處需要一個動詞來充當從句的謂語,而且要和後面的介詞短語from. . . to. . .構成搭配range符合這一要求。
40. 0根據結構,空白處應是動詞,並與in組成片語,構成who引導的定語從句中的謂語。0 specialize與in組成片語,意為“專攻、專門研究”,並能使上下文連貫,因此空白處為specialize。 involves看起來也可與in組成搭配,但該處who指代的是複數名詞physicians,不可能出現單數第 三人稱即動詞加s的形式。 '
41. F 空格前面為兩個形容詞,其後為作定語的分詞結構,因此此處需要填入一個名詞。此處填入的 名詞和前面的depression是並列關係,depression意為“沮喪、消沉、抑鬱”,而且前面有therapy for “對……的治療”,因此空格處的名詞應該也是疾病或問題,issues符合句意。
42. B經分析句子結構可知,此空需填一動詞。由上文可知此句意為“全面的治療涉及到社會工作 者、心理醫生和心理學者以及專業的疼痛專家”。所填詞應為“涉及”之意,此時只剩involves可人 選,意為“涉及”,故B為答案。
43. M此處需要一個名詞作句子的主語。句子的謂語為lead to,後面表示的是結果:眾多的比以前 更有效,而且副作用更小的創新療法,因此主語應該是原因:人們對疼痛治療的關注。respect有 “注意,關心”的意思,符合句意。
44. J根據結構,空白處在片語“a number of”中修飾number,應該是定語。limited填入後意為“有限 數量的”,符合上下文意思,因此空白處為limited。
45. C空白處在謂語動詞caused之後,在賓語side effects之前,應該是定語,修飾賓語。significant 填人意為“嚴重的副作用”,符合上下文意思,因此空白處為significant。
Passage 4
The flood of women into the job market boosted economic growth and changed ll many ways.Many in-home jobs that used to be done 36 by women—ranging from fa iy A6jppmg to preparingmeals to doing 37 work—still need to be done by someone.

Although there is still a big wage 39 between men and women, the income working women 40 givesthem new independence and buying power. For example, women now 41 about half of all cars.Not long ago, many car dealers 42 women shoppers by ignoring them or suggesting that they comeback with their husbands. Now car companies have realized that women are ^3 customers. It’sinteresting that some leading Japanese car dealers were the first to __44_j_>pay attention towomen customers. In Japan,fewer women have jobs or buy cars—the Japanese society is stillvery much male-oriented. Perhaps it was the 45 contrast with Japanese society that promptedAmerican firms to pay more attention to women buyers.

Passage 4
36. O 配題。表示“注意力,關注”,原句意為••關注病人,因此選項 要是婦女來做的,而現在丈夫和孩子也來承擔一部分。故選primarily。
37. K空白處修飾後面的名詞work,應該填入形容詞。K項意為“自願的”,此處意思是“自願要做的 事,沒有報酬而做的事”。因此空白處為voluntary。
38. G由空格前的a很容易推斷出空格處缺少名詞,空格處前半句提到一種現象,即丈夫和孩子現在 也承擔部分家務,空格後半句說這個名詞改變了產品的目標市場,因此該名詞必須可與change搭 配,在備選名詞scale、situation和gap中,符合題意的只有situation。
39. J容易混淆A與J,但A選項scale實是“尺寸,,的意思,故這裡應選gap,“差距,距離”。
40. C句子主語為“income”,謂語動詞為“gives”,可以看出working women加上空白處應該是主語 income省略了 that的定語從句,而空白處則是該從句中的謂語動詞。此處意思是“工作女性掙的 錢”。選項C意為"創造,產生”,表示婦女創出的收入,符合題意。因此空白處為generate。
41. N句子缺少謂語動詞,與賓語half of all cars搭配,表“購買”之意,故選擇答案purchase。
42. M裉據結構,空白處應該是謂語動詞,notkmgago提示謂語動詞為過去時。後面by所接內容均 表示汽車經銷商看不起女顧客。選項M意為“無禮地對待”,符合題意。因此空白處為insulted。
43. I句子主謂表結構完整,空格處缺少修飾customers的定語。上文說以前女婦女沒有錢,受到羞 辱,現在婦女有了工作和收入,很多汽車公司意識到婦女是顧客,所以空格應表“可能”之意,形容 爾p6Mntial“潛在的,可能的”符合題意。
44. H空格所在特句子結構很完整,空格處只能是副詞修飾動詞片語pay attention to,比較剩餘備選 副詞technically和ireally,只有really符合題意,“有意思的是日本一些的大的汽車公司是第一個 真正關注女性顧客的”。 •
45. D空白處修飾contrast,應該是形容詞。上文談到,日本社會以男性為主,卻是首先真正關注女 性消費者的國家。這確實是t分極端的對比了。選項D意為“極端的,偏激的”,符合題意。因此 空白處為extreme。
