    5. But, he also said there are probably more cases than are reported. 不過,他也說道,可能實際病例要比報導的多。 請注意本句中than的用法。than后面連接了一個句子,可是卻沒有主語,學術界對此有兩種說法:一種認為than是關系代詞,它本身在從句中作一個句子成分;另一種則認為than仍為連接詞,后面省略了句子的適當成分。請看類似的句子:
    You spent more money than was intended to be spent. 你花去的錢比預計的多。
    (請比較:You spent the money that was intended.)
    As the child grows, the jawbones grow also; therefore, there is space for more teeth than
    are in the first set. 隨著孩子的長大,頜骨也隨著長大,因此就有空間供比第
    一套還要多的牙齒占用。

    答案與題解:
    1. C 第一段第一句只說FDA命令制藥公司在13種安眠藥上貼上語氣堅定的新警告語,但是沒有提到這13種是不是包括了美國的所有的安眠藥。
    2. A 第一段中FDA命令制藥商貼新警告語并指導病人如何安全用藥,自然就認為這是制藥商不可推卸的責任。
    3. A 第二段第一、二句說到,其中有些藥物具有意外的危險作用,包括威脅生命的過敏反應。既然威脅到生命,那有時就可能引起死亡。
    4. B 請注意第三段最后一句的was also being treated,尤其是 also,說明他服用安眠藥的同時也服用治嘔吐的藥,故不是單純后一種藥引起他的車禍。
    5. C 第四段第一句說,F(xiàn)DA沒有說它調查了多少昏昏迷迷開車的事例,因此它是否作過大量調查我們并不知道。
    6. A 第四段尤其是其中的第三句說到,服用安眠藥以后有人昏昏迷迷開車,有人夢游,因此夢游屬于的副作用之一。,
    7. B 最后一段說到,只要服安眠藥時按說明書服用而且不喝酒,危險行為就會減少,因此副作用并不是不可避免。
