单选题 Australians have been turning to alternative therapies in increasing numbers over the past 20 years.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】解析：第三段首句提及，在过去20年间，伴随着对orthodox medicine期望的幻灭，alternative therapies受欢迎程度在澳大利亚却逐步上涨。也即题干所述澳大利亚人在过去20年间越来越多地转向alternative therapies，故此题干与原文相符。
单选题 Between 1983 and 1990 the numbers of patients visiting alternative therapists rose to include a further 8% of the population.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】解析：由第三段第二句“In a 1983 national health survey，1．9％of people…”和第三句“By 1990，thisfigure had risen to 2．6％of the population”可推知，百分比的增长是0．7％，并非题干中的8％，故题干与原文不符。
单选题 The 1990 survey related to 550, 000 consultations with alterative therapists.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】解析：题干与第三段第四句“The 55，000 consultations with alternative therapists reported in the 1990 survey…”而此题干中所述为550，000，与原文不相符。
单选题 In the past, Australians had a higher opinion of doctors than they do today.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】解析：第三段末句提及“The high standing of professionals including doctors，has been eroded as aconsequence．”由此可推知doctors在过去曾是high standing的职业，现在却被eroded(破坏)了，也即不再被大众所推崇了，故题干与此相符。
单选题 Some Australian doctors are retraining in alternative therapies.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】解析：第四段首句提及，不是抵制或批评这种趋势，越来越多的尤其是年轻的澳大利亚doctors开始forming group practices with alternative therapists或者taking course themselves，也即一些澳大利亚医生在重新进行alternative therapies方面的培训，故题干与原文相符。
单选题 Alternative therapists earn higher salaries than doctors.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】解析：纵观全文，并未就alternative therapists和doctors两者的收入进行比较，故题干含义原文未提及。
单选题 The 1993 Sydney survey involved 289 patients who visited alternative therapists for acupuncture treatment.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】解析：题干中“The 1993 Sydney survey involved 289 patients who visited ahernative therapists”部分含义与第五段前两句相符，但是题干中“for acupuncture treatment(针灸治疗)”原文并未提及，故题干与原文不符。
单选题 All the patients in the 1993 Sydney survey had long-term medical complaints.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】解析：第五段第三句提及“Those surveyed had experienced chronic illnesses…”，其中those指代的是上文1993年survey中的289名悉尼人；题干中“had long—term medical complaints(注意此处含义为‘身体不适’)”与原文定位句中“had experienced chronic(慢性的)illnesses”对应，故题干与原文含义相符。
