63. In the first paragraph, people are reminded that ________.
A) good health is more than not being ill
B) drinking, even if not to excess, could be harmful
C) regular health checks are essential to keeping fit
D) prevention is more difficult than cure
題目問在第一段中,人們受到何種教導。
A,好健康不僅僅是沒有得病。第一段在上半部分指出在醫療焦點的轉變問題上,可以討論得更為深入一點(can be pursued further),而后以類似于漢語里的排比句的形式列舉了某種健康狀態的具體表現,最后以This person is not ill(無病)、this person could be a lot healthier(可以更健康)結尾,作者的意圖非常好明顯,好健康遠不止是不得病。A的說法正確。
B,飲酒,即便不過量,也是對身體有害的。文中關于飲酒的敘述是這樣的:who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk,意思是這個人多數夜晚都在家里喝些啤酒,但從不酒后駕車,a few beers可以看做是沒有過量的喝酒,否則就會用a lot of。第一段結尾對這個人的評價是This person is not ill,意即不算十分健康,但也不會得病。這句話說明作者沒有把適度喝酒看做是不健康的行為,因此B的說法不對。
C,定期進行身體檢查對保持健康是必要的。第一段中沒有出現身體檢查的內容。
D,預防比治療更加困難。文章提到預防與治療是說人們在醫療上的關注點從治療轉變到了預防(from curing disease to preventing disease),沒有說哪一個更為困難。
64. Traditionally, a person is considered “well” if he ________.
A) does not have any unhealthy living habits
B) does not have any physical handicaps
C) is able to handle his daily routines
D) is free from any kind of disease
題目問傳統上講,一個人在何種情況下會被視為“健康的”(well)。可以看到第二段在開頭提到了傳統健康觀點:The field of medicine has
