Which of the following is NOT true of meditation
A.It relieves the pain of cancer.
B.It counteracts the effect of depression.
C.It has mystic elements.
D.It has long been used as a cure-all.
参考答案:D
解析:
Meditation is being recommended by more and more physicians as a way to prevent, slow or at least control the pain of chronic diseases like heart conditions, AIDS, cancer, and infertility. It is also being used to restore balance in the face of such psychiatric disturbances as depression, hyperactivity, and attention-deficit disorder (ADD). In a confluence of Eastern mysticism and western science, doctors are embracing meditation not because they think it’s hip or cool but because scientific studies are beginning to show that it works, particularly for stress-related conditions.
[分析]: 事实细节的找寻和判断。
根据题干要求在原文中找寻关于meditation的说法,原文第一句中“to prevent, slow or at least control the pain of…cancer”可与选项A的说法对应;原文“to restore balance in the face of such psychiatric disturbances as depression…”可与选项 B的说法对应;原文“In a confluence of Eastern mysticism…”可与选项C的说法对应;只有选项D的说法在原文中找不到对应,因此该选项是正确答案。
[解题关键] 1) 找到类属于主题的关键词有助于迅速排除选项,如可将文中有关的关键词cancer,depression和mysticism一一与选项对照;2) 同义词替换,可帮助判断选项的说法是否正确,如原文中control the pain与选项中relieve同义;restore balance与counteract同义。
