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] 【C1】

选项

答案 K

解析此空前为冠词，后接名词，可知应填形容词。选项中K，“conservative”(保守的)可填入，“have a conservative attitude to”(对……持保守态度)。再看原文意思，澳大利亚在西方世界独树一帜，又根据此段后半部分列举自然疗法在西方的流行，可推断这种疗法在澳大利亚并不受欢迎。所以，保守态度符合原文大意。
