There are three branches of medicine. One is called “doctor medicine” or “scientific medicine”. Scientific doctors try to observe sickness, look for logical pattern, and then find out how the human body works. From there they figure out what treatments may work. This kind of medicine is believed to date from the 4th century BC. Although nowadays it is successful, in the ancient this approach (方法) probably did not cure many patients. The second kind of medicine is called “natural cures” or “folk medicine”, in which less educated people try to cure sickness with various herbs. These folk healers also use observation and logic, but they are not so aware of it. They try things until they find something that seems to work, and then they keep doing that. Folk medicine flourished (兴起) long before the development of scientific medicine and was more successful in ancient times.
The third kind is called “health spas” or “faith healing”. Sometimes this may be as simple as touching the holy man and being immediately healed. Other times, a magician may make you a magic charm, or say a spell (咒语), to cure you. Some religious groups organize healing shrines (圣坛) for the sick. In these places people rest, get plenty of sleep, eat healthy food, drink water instead of wine, and exercise in various ways. They also talk to the priests (牧师) and pray to the gods.

点评：本文通过狮子和羚羊的故事告诉我们在生活中要勇敢面对挑战，努力为未来奋斗。从本文来
看，考生应该从时态、语态、语气、名词的数等各个角度分析所填内容是否与上下文一致，从而排
除一些备选答案，缩小选择范围；分析空白处与前后词之间的语义关联、搭配关系，从而排除一些
选项；弄清楚该题的句法关系，分析一下它是简单句、并列句，还是复合句；判断所填的内容在句
中充当什么成分，应是什么词性，并分析备选答案之间的异同，从而排除干扰项选出正确答案。

4.friends改为friend
5.But改成So
6.for her改成for him
7.which改成what
8.given改成gave
9.on Christmas改成in Christmas 10.anything改成something
【解析】1.固定结构：go shopping去购物，故去掉went to shopping中的to。
2.句意：我的妈妈问我是否想其他的事情。根据句意可知在asked me后加上if或whether。
3.句意：当我记起我的好朋友王林时，我立刻点头。根据句意可知用一般过去时态，故填nodded。
4.我的好朋友“王林”是一个人，所以名词用单数形式，故把friends改为friend。
5.根据上句：他没有大衣。可知下句：所以我为他买一件。此处是因果关系，而不是转折关系，故
把But改成So。
6.根据上文可知他的朋友是男孩，故把for her改成for him。
7.句意：我告诉我的妈妈我想什么。此处连接词在句中其双重作用，故把which改成what。
8.此处是并列谓语根据句意可知用一般过去时态，故把given改成gave。
9.句意：用圣诞纸裹着大衣。故把on Christmas改成in Christmas 。

【名师点睛】
在做短文改错时一定要注意并列连词的运用，只有把握住他们的准确用法再结合上下文的语境才能
找出错误所在。and和，表示递进关系；but但是，表示转折关系；so所以，表示因果关系；besides
另外，表示递进关系；however然而，表示转折关系，后面要加逗号。本题第5小题就是把转折关
系改成因果关系。

【名师点睛】
关于七选五的做题步骤：
1、通读全文，对文章进行快速浏览，寻找主题句，抓住文章结构及文章的写作内容。在阅读过程中，要注意文章的开始与结束段落，尤其是文章的首段及末段末句，因为“开门见山”与“结尾总结”的写作方式为常见的写作方式，首段的末句一般是是全文的主题所在，说明本文将探讨哪些内容，并简要指出文章的写作思路，有时甚至会以提纲的形式进行呈现。首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题有重要意义。
2、详读段落，在短时间内，找出每段写作内容的关键词。明确各段的主题句或主旨大意。文章正文部分通常分为若干小段落。各段落会根据整体文章写作主题展开，对文章主体进行的不同方面的描述。找出各个小段落中的关键词，明确其描述内容，为整体试题的解决做好铺垫。阅读各个空的前后句，标记关键词，关键词包括句中的核心名词或名词词组（如带有形容词的名词词组）、专有名词、时间数字、代词、连词等。重点阅读各个问题附近的句子，圈定线索词，然后从选项中寻找相关的特征词，以确定答案。做题时可以采用代入排除法。如果一题做不出或拿不准，可先放过，继续往下读，先做容易的能做出的题，直到读完整篇文章。
3、定位选项，明确各备选选项的含义，抓住其关键词语，根据文章整体结构与具体内容，将选项填入文中，填写时尤为注意各选项中出现的句子衔接手段及句中的衔接标志词。在定位选项时，要特别注意空格上下段的写作内容，以及空格上段尾句和下段首句的结构和意义。将所选项放入空白处，看看是否与上下文构成语义及逻辑上的直接关系，是否符合该处语境。能否承接前后的写作线索。使文章无论内容还是衔接上都能做到通顺。
4、通读复检，将所选答案代入文中，再次通读全文，重点考查逻辑关系和关联结构。
在完成选项定位后，应通读全文，检查文章内容是否完整，语义是否连贯合理、各段落内容是否紧扣主题，语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑，写作思路是否清晰明了，格式以及用语是否恰当贴切，从而判断选择的答案是否正确。同时，我们还应注意对相近选项的对比分析，个别干扰项由于与某个正确选项的内容相近具有很强的干扰性，这时就需要我们认真分析，排除干扰，从而得出正确选项。
5、确定排除，研究多余选项，确定排除理由，最终确定答案。
