问题     Years ago, doctors often said that pain was a normal part of life. In particular, when older patients【C1】______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【C2】______. Indeed, pain is now considered the fifth vital sign, as important as blood pressure, temperature, breathing rate and pulse in【C3】______a person’s well-being. We know that chronic(慢性的)pain can disrupt(扰乱)a person’s life, causing problems that【C4】______from missed work to depression.
    That’s why a growing number of hospitals now depend upon physicians who【C5】______in pain medicine. Not only do we evaluate the cause of the pain, which can help us treat the pain better, but we also help provide comprehensive therapy for depression and other psychological and social【C6】______related to chronic pain. Such comprehensive therapy often【C7】______the work of social workers, psychiatrists(心理医生)and psychologists, as well as specialists in pain medicine.
    This modern【C8】______for pain management has led to a wealth of innovative treatments which are more effective and with fewer side effects than ever before. Decades ago, there were only a【C9】______number of drugs available, and many of them caused【C10】______side effects in older people, including dizziness and fatigue. This created a double-edged sword: the medications helped relieve the pain but caused other problems that could be worse than the pain itself.
A)complained F)limited K)seriously
B)determining G)magnificent L)respect
C)gravely H)prompting M)result
D)involves I)range N)significant
E)issues J)relieved O)specialize [br] 【C9】

选项

答案 F

解析 形容词辨析题。空格前有冠词a,后有名词number,因此此处需要一个表示程度的形容词来修饰Rumber。此句和前一句在意义上是过去和现在的对比,前一句指出了现在的情况:awealth of innovative treatments,所以这里Decades ago的药物数量应该不是很多,因此选择limited“有限的”。
