China is one of the first countries to breed a medical culture. In comparison with Western methods,

traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) adopt a vastly different approach. For thousands of years, Chinese

people have accumulated rich experience in fighting all sorts of diseases, therefore forming a unique medical

theory under the guidance of ancient Chinese philosophies.

The core behind TCM is that the human body’s life is the consequence of the balance between yin and

yang. Yang functions to safeguard us against outer harm, and yin is the inner base to store and provide energy.

When the balance between the two aspects is disturbed, people fall ill.

One of the traditional techniques of TCM, acupuncture (针刺疗法), means insertion (插入) of needles

into superficial (表皮的) structures of the body—usually at acupoints (穴位)—to restore the yin-yang

balance. It is often accompanied by moxibustion (灸法), which involves burning the mugwort (艾叶) on or

near the skin at an acupoint.

The first known text that clearly talks about something like acupuncture and moxibustion as it is

practiced today is Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon. It is the earliest and most important written work of TCM

and is considered the most representative medical text in China.

Acupuncture and moxibustion have aroused the interest of international medical science circles. And

TCM is gradually gaining worldwide recognition. The WHO issued a document in 2002 that appealed to

more than 180 countries to adopt TCM as an alternative in their medical policies. In 2010, acupuncture and

moxibustion of traditional Chinese medicine were added to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural

Heritage of Humanity by the UNESCO. Presently, TCM has been back in the news for its effectiveness in

improving the cure rate of the COVID-19 since its outbreak in January 2020.

31．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．TCM. B．Acupuncture. C．Yin-yang balance. D．Moxibustion.

32．What can we learn about Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon from the text?

A．It distinguishes acupuncture from moxibustion.

B．It’s a foundation of world medical research.

C．It stresses the importance of using acupoints.

D．It greatly contributes to the development of TCM.

33．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?

A．To introduce TCM to the world.

C．To tell TCM and Western medicine apart.

B．To review the development of TCM.

D．To comment on TCM in fighting COVID-19.

34．What might be talked about in the paragraph following the text?

A．Why TCM gets recognition from WHO.

C．How TCM helps in the current situation.

B．Why TCM is gaining popularity.

D．How other countries adopt TCM well.

05

（2022·山西·朔州市朔城区第一中学校高二开学考试）Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is

gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries

and regions around the world.

Westerners’ understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage(针灸，拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U. S. swimmer Michael Phelps, back

from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during

the Rio Olympics in2016.

As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the

body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to

know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of

acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing

partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs.

Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and

the processing of the ingredients(原材料)jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared

with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM

lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their

effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing

number of factories producing patented TCM drugs.

Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity.

While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers

tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou’s

winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria(疟疾)treatment may

drive creativity to some extent in China’s TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be

changed within a short time.

35．Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps?

A．Because he was injured in his swimming.

B．Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment.

C．Because westerners know a little about TCM.

D．Because westerners attach great importance to TCM.

36．Why don’t some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine?

A．Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases.

B．Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture.

C．Because Western medicine is more effective.

D．Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly.

37．Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4?

A．The methods of planting herbs.

C．Lacking in standardization.

B．The effectiveness of prescription.

D．Its stable functions.

38．The lack of creativity in TCM refers to the fact that______.

A．medicine-making companies lack creativity

B．prescriptions are got from the past

C．Western companies are more experienced

D．medicine-making companies lack driving force

词义猜测题。根据画线单词上句“One of the traditional techniques of TCM, acupuncture (针刺疗法),

means insertion (插入) of needles into superficial (表皮的) structures of the body—usually at acupoints (穴位)—to restore the yin-yang balance.”（针刺疗法是中医的传统技术之一，指将针头插入身体的表皮结构，通常在穴位处，以恢复阴阳平衡。）可知，上文介绍的是什么是针刺疗法，由此可知，画线单词所在句指针刺疗法通常伴随着灸法，“it”代指的是上文提到的“acupuncture”，即“针刺疗法”。故选B项。

32．

细节理解题。根据第四段内容“The first known text that clearly talks about something like acupuncture and

moxibustion as it is practiced today is Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon. It is the earliest and most important

written work of TCM and is considered the most representative medical text in China.”（已知的第一个明确谈论针灸的文本是《黄帝内经》。它是最早、最重要的中医著作，被认为是中国最具代表性的医学文本。）可知，《黄帝内经》是已知的第一个明确谈论针灸的文本，是最早、最重要的中医著作，对中医研究有着极大的贡献，由此可知，《黄帝内经》极大地促进了中医的发展。故选D项。

33．

推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段关键句“China is one of the first countries to breed a medical culture.

In comparison with Western methods, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) adopt a vastly different approach.”（中国是最早孕育医学文化的国家之一。与西方方法相比，中医采用了截然不同的方法。）可知，作者在文章中主要介绍了中医疗法，包括中医中阴阳平衡的理念和针灸疗法等，由此可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是向世界介绍中医。故选A项。

35．C

36．D

37．C

38．B

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。中医药正在全球普及，虽然世卫组织很多成员国都赞同针灸疗法，但承认中药的国家还是少数。中药制药缺少标准化，效果不稳定，但越来越多的工厂开始生产专利中药。其次，中药要根据之前的处方进行生产，屠呦呦获得诺贝尔奖对于中药的发展起到了一定的推动作用，但目前的状况不能在短期内改变。

35．

推理判断题。根据第二段的“Westerners’ understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture,

cupping and massage(针灸，”拔罐和按摩).（然而，西方人对中医的理解可能仅限于针灸、拔罐和按摩）推知，下文提到菲尔普斯的例子是为了说明西方人对中药了解有限。故选C。

36．

细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health

Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize

Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of

Chinese herbs.（因此，令人沮丧的是，尽管103个世界卫生组织成员国批准了针灸疗法，但没有多少国家承认中草药。中医远远落后于西医，部分原因是中草药起作用很慢）”可知，有一些WHO的成员国不承认中国的草药是因为用中草药制成的药物治疗效果缓慢，故选D。

37．

细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production

processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization（与西医相比，西医拥有标准化的药物生产流程和治疗方法，中医药缺乏标准化）”可知，与西医相比，中医的缺点是缺乏标准化。故选C。

38．

细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products

every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the

past.（西药生产公司每年都会推出新产品，但中药生产商往往根据过去传下来的处方来生产药物）”可知，中医缺乏创造性指的是中医的处方是从过去传承下来的。故选B。
