Question

【題目】 It is the year 1026, the time of the Song Dynasty. You are trained to become a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) doctor. You are about to take your final exam. What kind of thing will you face?

During the Song Dynasty, doctors needed to show thy understood meridians (經(jīng)絡(luò)) — paths of energy running through the body.

If you were the one to take the exam, you would be asked to show how you would treat symptoms on a life-sized model covered in wax (蠟). Under the wax, the model would be made of bronze (銅), filled with water, and covered in holes running along the meridian paths.

You would need to place an acupuncture needle (針灸用的針) into the correct part of a meridian to pass the exam. If you got it right, the needle would go straight through he hole, and water would pour out of the model. If you picked the wrong spot, the needle would hit the bronze model and you failed.

The exams wanted to make sure all young doctors knew how to treat patients hitting the same correct acupuncture points.

The first “bronze man” acupuncture model was made in 1026 by one of the great doctors named Wang Weiyi. Wang also wrote a book that was used across the country to teach how to use the model. Now you can see a copy of one of these bronze men in China’s National Museum.

A.Because the model was totally made of wax.

B.Because wax can protect the model well.

C.Because wax stopped test takers seeing the holes.

文章大意：本文介紹了針灸以及醫(yī)生需要掌握的技能。

【1】理解推斷題。根據(jù)文中“Under the wax, the model would be made of bronze (銅), filled with water, and covered in holes running along the meridian paths. You would need to place an acupuncture needle (針灸用的針) into the correct part of a meridian to pass the exam.” 在蠟下，模型將由青銅（銅）制成，充滿水，并覆蓋在沿子午線路徑的孔洞中。你需要把針灸針放在經(jīng)絡(luò)的正確部位才能通過檢查�？梢耘袛�，模型上有蠟，是因為蠟阻止了考生看到洞。故答案為C。

【2】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文中“If you got it right, the needle would go straight through he hole, and water would pour out of the model. If you picked the wrong spot, the needle would hit the bronze model and you failed.” 如果你做對了，針頭會直接穿過孔，水會從模型中流出。如果你選錯了地方，針頭就會撞到青銅模型，你就失敗了�？芍�，在文章中加下劃線的“spot”是“地點”的意思，故答案為A。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中“If you got it right, the needle would go straight through he hole, and water would pour out of the model. If you picked the wrong spot, the needle would hit the bronze model and you failed.” 如果你做對了，針頭會直接穿過孔，水會從模型中流出。如果你選錯了地方，針頭就會撞到青銅模型，你就失敗了。可知，如果一個考生把針頭插錯了，針頭不能直接穿過洞。故答案為B。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中“The first “bronze man” acupuncture model was made in 1026 by one of the great doctors named Wang Weiyi. Wang also wrote a book that was used across the country to teach how to use the model. Now you can see a copy of one of these bronze men in China’s National Museum.” 第一個“銅人”針灸模型是在1026年由一位名叫王偉毅的偉大醫(yī)生制作的。王還寫了一本書，在全國范圍內(nèi)被用來教授如何使用這種模式�，F(xiàn)在你可以在中國國家博物館看到這些青銅人中的一個�？芍�，我們了解到王偉毅發(fā)明銅人考醫(yī)生，故答案為A。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，本文介紹了針灸以及醫(yī)生需要掌握的技能。這個故事主要講述了宋代中醫(yī)考試。故答案為D。
