3，在我看来，ETS出题时象only这类词在划线部分的位置极少改动，但这题是例外。这题主要要依据句意和逻辑合理性来解题。但说实话，选E后我很是为自己改动了only的位置而不安。但看别的选项又好象挑不出更好的。
ABC中有通病：protect the public 在句中修饰medicine. 在DE之间犹豫时，是考虑，D要依据划线部分only的位置也应该是can only 而非only can，而且句意有点不合常理。


从这几题看出，也许这样总结比较好： 一般不要轻易改变ONLY等词的位置，但也不要绝对化。

所有的选择都是首先优于选项A，即：原文。以原文的意思为准，不能改变句意，这就是为什么ONLY这样的极端修辞词位置不可以随便移动，只是例外一些句子中的ONLY确实放错了位置，自然需要改变。

　　

答题必然有很多规律可循，但是不是所有的规律一定万能。
