14.It has been around for centuries,but up until very recently,traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) wasn't fully accepted abroad.Proof of this can be found in The Treatment (《刮痧》),a 2001 film that tells the story of a Chinese man in the US who's accused of abuse after he uses guasha,a form of TCM treatment,to cure his grandson's disease.
During the last 10 years or so,however,TCM has been getting increasingly popular all over the world.A report released by the State Council Information Office on Dec.6says this style of health care,which includes different forms like herbal medicine and exercise,has spread to 183countries and regions.
"We have set up 10 TCM centers outside China,and all of them are popular among locals,"Wang Guoqiang,head of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine,said at a news conference on Dec 6."Governments of 86 countries and regions have signed agreements with the Chinese government on TCM corporation."
One of the reasons behind the growing popularity of TCM is the increase of scientific research into it.And after Tu Youyou-the Chinese scientist who discovered the anti-malaria (抗疟疾) drug qinghaosu (青蒿素)-won the Nobel Prize last year,TCM became even more famous internationally.
However,all these achievements in TCM don't mean that it's problem-free.Over the years,TCM has faced challenges in being able to prove that it has certain effects.
Some researchers have suggested TCM should be more exact and work together with Western medicine.
"Bringing together with Western medicine and TCM,rather than being in competition,is where the potential for great effects is,"said Bernhard Schwartlander,the China representative of the World Health Organization.

点评 一、速读全文,了解大意知主题.
阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面.阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力.考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读,搜寻关键词、主题句,捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点,并且理清文章脉络,把握语篇实质.
二、看题干,带着问题读文章.
首先要掌握问题的类型,客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案;而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等,这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等.其次,了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息,然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读,对有关信息进行快速定位.此法加强了阅读的针对性,提高了做题的准确率.
三、逻辑推理,做好深层理解题.
在实际阅读中,有时作者并未把意图说出来,阅读者要根据字面意思,通过语篇逻辑关系,研究细节的暗示,推敲作者的态度,理解文章的寓义.要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理,不能就事论事,以偏概全.推理题在提问中常用的词有:infer,imply,suggest,indicate等.
四、猜词悟义,扫除阅读拦路虎.
猜词是应用英语的重要能力.它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文,而且要有较大的泛读量,掌握或认识较多的课外词汇.我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜",通过构词,语法,定义,同位,对比,因果,常识,上下文等线索确定词义.
