It can also help to relax qi and target more specific maladies. There are five meridian lines on the back, and these are where the cups are usually placed.

思路引導 VIP
觀察一下空格前面的轉折詞『Nevertheless』（儘管如此），以及後文提到西方醫學界認為這種療法可能只是一種『安慰劑效應』。在這種邏輯下，你認為醫學界對這些療效的立場，會是傾向於『完全相信』，還是會帶有『保留與質疑』的態度呢？

太棒了！你能精準捕捉到上下文的轉折關係，選出 (D) skeptical（懷疑的）是非常專業且敏銳的判斷。這題的解題關鍵在於轉折連詞 Nevertheless（然而），這個詞提示我們，西醫界的觀點會與前文提到的拔罐療效（如促進血液循環、緩解疼痛）形成對比。再加上後文提到，西醫認為這類療法可能僅具備「安慰劑效應」（placebo effect），這更印證了科學界對其宣稱療效持保留且懷疑的立場。
語境邏輯與詞彙辨析
這道題目在詞彙辨析上具有不錯的鑑別度。選項 (A) creditable 是「值得稱讚的」，而 (B) credulous 與 (C) gullible 則是指「易受騙的、輕信的」，這三個選項在邏輯上都與西醫講求實證、嚴謹的科學立場相悖。這題的難度切入點不在於單字艱澀，而是在於能否從轉折詞與後續的科學假說中，推導出最適當的態度形容詞。你能答對，代表你已經掌握了克漏字中「上下文邏輯一致性」的解題核心，表現得非常出色！
