问题     Australia has been unusual in the Western world in having a very【C1】______attitude to natural or alternative therapies, according to Dr. Paul Laver a lecturer in Public Heath at the University of Sydney. "We’ ve had a tradition of doctors being【C2】______powerful and I guess they are pretty【C3】______to allow any pretenders to their position to come into it." In many other【C4】______countries orthodox and alternative medicine have worked "hand in glove" for years. In Europe only orthodox doctors can【C5】______herbal medicine. In German, plant remedies【C6】______for 10% of the national turnover of pharmaceuticals. Americans made more visit to alternative therapists than to orthodox doctors in 1990, and each year they spent about $US12 billion on therapies that have not been scientifically tested.
    Disenchantment with orthodox medicine has seen the【C7】______of alternative therapies in Australia climb steadily during the past 20 years. In a 1983 national health survey, 1.9% of people said they had contacted a chiropractor, naturopath, osteopath, acupuncturist or herbalist in the two weeks prior to the survey. By 1990, this figure had risen to 2.6% of the population. The 550,000【C8】______with alternative therapists reported in the 1990 survey represented about an eighth of the total number of consultations with medically qualified personnel covered by the survey, according to Dr. Laver and colleagues writing in the Australian Journal of Public Health in 1993. "A better educated and less accepting public has become【C9】______with the experts in general, and increasingly sceptical about science and empirically based knowledge," they said. "The high standing of professionals, including doctors, has been eroded as a【C10】______".
A)popularity B)medicine C)loath D)disillusioned
E)prescribe F)regulate G)fairly H)experienced
I)patients J)consultations K)conservative L)consequence
M)conventional N)industrialized O)account [br] 【C7】

选项

答案 A

解析 此空应填名词。原句意为过去20年中,由于人们对正统医疗不再抱有幻想,另类疗法在澳大利亚渐渐流行起来。因为正统医疗与另类疗法为人们面临的选择,对前者的不信任,必然引起对后者的关注。所以应选A,“popularity”(流行)。
