选项 _________(56) A:different B:strange C:interesting D:distinctive

答案 D

解析 release公布；suggest建议；accept接受；detect探测。根据下文内容，这里应该是“一个被《肿瘤学年报》在网上公布的案例”。
problem问题；gap间隙；sickness疾病；secret秘密。根据下文内容，这里应该是“失去指纹会带来多大麻烦”。
cut裁剪；treat治疗；find发现；smooth磨光。这里指，一位新加坡籍的医学博士描述了用卡培他滨治疗一位患鼻咽癌的62岁老人的经历。
diet饮食；exercise锻炼；recovery康复；drug药品，最符合题意。这里指，经过这个药物三年的治疗后。
介词for在这里指“持续……时间”。
distinctive独特的，最符合题意，指人手指上特有的旋涡状的指纹。
side effect意为“副作用”。
hence意为“因此”，后面可以直接跟名词而独立成句。
根据上下文可知这里说的是，指纹何时会消失是不确定的。
report报告；discourage使气馁；caution告诫；praise赞美。caution最符合语境。
note 票据，单子；这里指药物可能会使指纹消失的证明单。
这里指，他同样要带医师开的证明单——并且要随身携带，因此选without。
此处需要选一个关系代词引导非限制性定语从句，并作定语从句的主语，因此选 which。
collect收集；copy模仿；associate联系；test测验。这里指，应该考虑更新与该药物有关的副作用清单。
本句是将表否定的状语no where提前构成的部分倒装句，助动词does应放在主语前。
