　　56. A. what B. why C. that D. which

　　【答案】A。答案：考察連詞、考察從句。分清楚是什么類型的從句是關(guān)鍵，從句接在tell us 后面，我們知道，tell 需要接雙賓語，所以這里就應(yīng)該是一個(gè)賓語從句。

　　從句they did for the sick and the injured.沒有完整，缺少賓語(did是一個(gè)及物動(dòng)詞)，排除B與C選項(xiàng);which 前面應(yīng)該有所指代，而原文中沒有提供，排除。因此選擇what。

　　57. A. When B. Since C. Although D. After

　　【答案】C。答案： 關(guān)鍵詞：magic,和 plant leaves and other methods，是不一樣的治療方法，所以前后應(yīng)該是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。句意“盡管許多治療方法都包含著巫術(shù)在里面，但是古埃及人也用植物的葉子和其他方法治療疾病”，選擇轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系although。

　　58. A. damages B. diseases C. disasters D. destructions

　　【答案】B。答案：此題目充分利用切題解題法：此文章講述：醫(yī)生、治療方法、巫術(shù)….當(dāng)然空格處與treat“治療”匹配的只能是： “疾病”diseases。

　　一網(wǎng)支招：諸如此類的題目應(yīng)該是越做越容易，因?yàn)槲覀儗?duì)文章大意已經(jīng)有了一個(gè)大致的了解了。

　　59. A. hardly B. closely C. mainly D. shortly

　　【答案】B。答案：我們已經(jīng)有了這樣的信息：古代埃及的治療方法比較多，當(dāng)然也包含巫術(shù)(與咱們中國(guó)，是何其相似，可能是都是四大文明古國(guó)的原因吧，燒香拜佛，祈求無病無災(zāi)哩)

　　關(guān)鍵詞：related “有關(guān)系的”，空格處填入的詞語修飾related，表達(dá)的意思講述關(guān)系怎么樣了。根據(jù)以上信息，巫術(shù)與醫(yī)術(shù)的關(guān)系是緊密的，表示緊密聯(lián)系closely related。

　　同時(shí)也可以利用我們的常識(shí)儲(chǔ)備，輕輕松松弄出答案來：醫(yī)術(shù)與巫術(shù)的關(guān)系是緊密的，下文也有暗示信息。

　　60. A. trained B. designed C. planned D. studied

　　【答案】A。答案：關(guān)鍵詞：as“作為”， some priests (牧師) were specially 60 as doctors to 61 the sick and the injured.。牧師被_____作為醫(yī)生，所以句子意思就成為了：牧師(似乎與醫(yī)生無關(guān)的人)變成了醫(yī)生。角色的轉(zhuǎn)變，當(dāng)然需要train訓(xùn)練，培養(yǎng)。

　　61. A. look to B. come to C. care for D. search for

　　【答案】C。答案：承上啟下，順理成章，醫(yī)生與病人的關(guān)系是治療與照顧的關(guān)系�？疾靹�(dòng)詞短語，care for sb。照顧，照料……。

　　62. A. reputation B. inspection C. fame D. respect

　　【答案】D。答案：此題目要與63小題結(jié)合一起來完成，63小題后面的關(guān)鍵詞：information was highly secret.所以我們看到此類關(guān)鍵詞，利用常識(shí)儲(chǔ)備，我們自然而然脫口而出了：病人的隱私是高度機(jī)密的，說明病人是受到尊敬的，選擇respect“尊敬，尊重”。

　　63. A. ill B. own C. hidden D. personal

　　【答案】D。答案：承上啟下，空格處表達(dá)：個(gè)人信息、隱私personal information。當(dāng)今社會(huì)，學(xué)員朋友對(duì)personal information這個(gè)詞語應(yīng)該是不陌生的!甚至能夠脫口而出，此題目的答案。

　　64. A. that B. which C. who D. what

　　【答案】C。答案：考察連詞與從句。首先分清楚什么從句，是關(guān)鍵。priests of the goddess Sekhmet, ______controlled illnesses.，從句接在名詞后面，是一個(gè)定語從句，且定語從句不完整，缺少主語。首先排除D選項(xiàng)，因?yàn)閣hat不引導(dǎo)定語從句。因?yàn)榭崭裉幥懊娴亩禾?hào)，排除A選項(xiàng)(that不引導(dǎo)非限制定語從句)，先行詞是the goddess Sekhmet，指人，用who。

　　65. A. serving B. reading C. learning D. following

　　【答案】A。答案：直譯一下空格處所在的句子，答案就一目了然了：醫(yī)生每年花費(fèi)一定的時(shí)間_____神。一一帶入選項(xiàng)，只有A選項(xiàng)，合符題意：serve the god/goddess侍奉神明。也與前面的信息相吻合了：巫術(shù)也是一種治療方法。故而切題。

　　66. A. careful B. generous C. mean D. close

　　【答案】D。答案：承上啟下，順理成章，于是醫(yī)生就與神走到一起了：根據(jù)句意，醫(yī)生們被認(rèn)為和神明很親近，選擇close，近的。同時(shí)這也是59小題的暗示信息。

　　67. A. Before B. When C. Until D. Since

　　【答案】B。答案：此類題目應(yīng)該沒有多少技術(shù)含量可言，我們只要把句子弄通順就ok了。因?yàn)檫@絕對(duì)是狀語從句之類的句子。選項(xiàng)中沒有出現(xiàn)定語從句和名詞性從句的引導(dǎo)詞。應(yīng)該來說相對(duì)容易。當(dāng)一個(gè)人生病的時(shí)候……，選擇when。

　　68. A. think over B. apply to C. call for D. make up

　　【答案】C。答案：承上啟下，人生病，當(dāng)然得請(qǐng)醫(yī)生�？疾靹�(dòng)詞短語意思，call for a doctor邀請(qǐng)一個(gè)醫(yī)生。

　　再者：he or she would come to the temple or_______ a doctor for a diagnosis (診斷).千萬千萬注意此處的關(guān)鍵詞：or，表達(dá)選擇關(guān)系，he是指代病人。生病后，要么去寺廟，要么____。根據(jù)前面的信息：古代埃及的治療方法分為兩類：巫術(shù)和醫(yī)術(shù)。答案不就明擺著了嗎?要么請(qǐng)醫(yī)生。

　　69. A. serious B. internal C. odd D. obvious

　　【答案】D。答案：A(n) _____ problem was treated with medicine, prayer and magic. If a clear cause was not 一種_____病用醫(yī)術(shù)治療，根據(jù)下文，下文提到難治的病，這里就應(yīng)該說的是“明顯的”問題是怎么治療的，選擇obvious明顯的。

　　70小題前面的關(guān)鍵詞：clear“清楚的”，也是本小題的暗示信息。我們至此就可以這么理解了：容易治療的病，就用醫(yī)術(shù)，疑難雜癥就用巫術(shù)治療。

　　70. A. treated B. discovered C. cured D. aroused

　　【答案】B。承上啟下，考察動(dòng)詞詞義，discover發(fā)現(xiàn)，如果病因沒有被“發(fā)現(xiàn)”，那么只有求助神明了。(與我們中國(guó)的傳統(tǒng)何其相似)
