A 解析 惯用搭配题。in the hands of 意为“由控制或照料”，是惯用搭配，刚好与句意相符，所以A正确。37. B 解析 逻辑衔接题。此处缺少的是定语，4个选项中A，B都可以充当定语，growing意为“成长的，正在长大的”，grown意为“长大成人的，成年的”，结合前文内容可知，应选B。38. C 解析 词义辨析题。regular意为“定期的，有规律的”，与visitors搭配指“定期来看望的人”，故选C。normal意为“正常的”，constant意为“经常的”，lasting意为“持续的”，均排除。39. A 解析 词义辨析题。下文对前面提到的观点进行了反驳，也就是说前面所说的情况不是真实存在的，故选A（不真实的、虚构的）。imaginable意为“可想象的”，imaginative意为“富于想象力的”，imagery意为“肖像”，均排除。40. A解析 逻辑衔接题。此处应用that引导定语从句充当care的定语，故选A。41. B解析 逻辑衔接题。根据上下文可知，该句谈到社会学家研究了美国家庭如何在改变，应该用how引导宾语从句，表示改变的方式，故选B。42. D解析 词义辨析题。common意为“普通的，共同的”；强调一种趋同的ordinary与special相对立，强调平凡，毫无特性；standard意为“标准的”；average意为“一般的，平均的”，强调的是在类型或特征上通常的或平均情况。由此可知，本题选D。43. C解析 词义辨析题。still意为“尽管如此，但仍然”，表让步；however意为“然而”，表转折；moreover意为“而且”；whereas意为“尽管”。分析上下文可知，前后两句应为递进关系，故选C。44. B解析 词义辨析题。ago意为“以前”，指从现在算起，故选B。before意为“以前”，指从过去某个时刻算起，故排除。45. A解析 词义辨析题。share意为“共享，共有”，与a common characteristic搭配意为“具有共同的特征”，所以A正确。46. B解析 词义辨析题。句中谓语为are，故此处应填入一个复数形式的名词，所以B正确。47. C解析 逻辑衔接题。本句的主句是过去时，故排除will和can，而would表示一种意愿，也应排除，故选C。48. B解析 词义解析题。question和inquire意为“询问，疑问”，interrogate意为“审问”，interview意为“面试，访问”，此处句意为“社会工作者访问护理人员，想弄明白为什么他们要承担照顾年纪大的亲戚的责任”，所以B正确。49. C 解析 惯用搭配题。take in意为“欺骗；收容”，take up意为“从事”，take on意为“承担”，take off意为“脱下；起飞”，只有take on能与responsibility搭配，故选C。50. D 解析 词义辨析题。admiration意为“羡慕”，initiative意为“主动”，necessity意为“必要性”，obligation意为“责任，义务”，此处句意为“护理人员相信他们有这个义务帮助他们的亲戚”，所以D正确。51. C 解析 惯用搭配题。make sb. do sth.意为“使某人做某事”，符合句意，所以C正确。52. A 解析 词义辨析题。someone泛指某个人，anyone和anybody指任何人，everyone指每个人，结合句意可知，A正确。53. B 解析 词义辨析题。elderly意为“年纪稍老的”，dependent意为“依靠别人的”，dependable意为“可靠的”，independent意为“独立的”，此处句意为“当他们老了需要依靠别人时，他们应该得到照顾”，所以B正确。54. C 解析 词义辨析题。similarly意为“同样地、相似地”，differently意为“不同地”，mutually意为“共同地”，certainly意为“当然地”，结合句意，照顾老人和被照顾是一种相互关系，由此可知，C正确。55. A 解析 词义辨析题。involved意为“涉及的，牵涉到的”，excluded意为“排除在外的，不包括的”，included意为“包含的”，considered意为“被考虑到”，此句意为“照顾老人和被照顾是一种相互的关系，每个人都有可能涉足其中”，所以A正确。 4.   Every year more than half a million American kids have drainage (排泄) tubes surgically implanted in their ears to combat persistent infections. The procedure, known as tympanostomy, may not be as _1_ as the tonsillectomy was in the 1940s, but it now _2_ as the nation's leading childhood _3_ and a new study suggests it's being vastly overused. In _4_ more than 6,000 scheduled ear tube operations, a team of experts _5_ by Harvard pediatrician Lawrence Kleinman found that fewer than half were clearly justified. "Each year", the researchers write in the current Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), "several hundred thousand children in the United States may be _6_ tympanostomy tubes that offer them no demonstrated _7_ and may place them at increased _8_ ."Tube placement isn't a _9_ risky procedure, but it costs $1,000 to $1,500 and sometimes scars the eardrum, causing a partial loss of _10_ . Studies show that the benefits are most likely to _11_ the risks if a child's middle ear has produced sticky fluid _12_ more than four months despite treatment _13_ antibiotics. For less virulent infections, drug treatment is usually a(n) _14_, safer alternative (though drugs, too, can be overused). In the new JAMA study, Kleinman's team reviewed the medical charts of 6,429 kids, all under 16, _15_ doctors had recommended the procedure. Even making "generous assumptions" about the likely _16_ , the researchers found that a quarter of the proposed operations were _17_, since less invasive alternatives were available, _18_ another third were as likely to harm the recipients as help them.Parents needn't _19_ about ear tubes that are already in place. Once _20_ implanted, the tiny devices provide drainage for six months to a year, then come out by reducing health costs by hundreds of millions of dollars every year.1、A、rareB、commonC、generalD、abnormal正确答案：B2、A、considersB、alternatesC、rangesD、ranks正确答案：D3、A、operationB、diseaseC、conditionD、injection正确答案：A4、A、findingB、reviewingC、amendingD、performing正确答案：B5、A、controlledB、conductedC、legitimatedD、led正确答案：D6、A、receivingB、acceptingC、undertakingD、initiating正确答案：A7、A、disadvantageB、agreementC、advantageD、shortcoming正确答案：C8、A、bottomB、riskC、edgeD、extent正确答案：B9、A、subtlyB、hopefullyC、merelyD、terribly正确答案：D10、A、feelingB、hearingC、healthD、memory正确答案：B11、A、outfitB、outflowC、outweighD、outgrow正确答案：C12、A、forB、onC、inD、to正确答案：A13、A、byB、uponC、withD、along正确答案：C14、A、expensiveB、fasterC、furtherD、cheaper正确答案：D15、A、whichB、whoseC、thatD、who正确答案：B16、A、risksB、dangersC、chancesD、benefits正确答案：D17、A、inappropriateB、favorableC、preferableD、inadequate正确答案：A18、A、whereB、whenC、whetherD、while正确答案：D19、A、outrageB、panicC、complainD、protest正确答案：D20、A、livelyB、quicklyC、successfullyD、formally正确答案：C5.
