A.occasionalmistakesbycarelessdoctors

B.agreatdealofpersonalattention

C.lowchargebydoctorsandhospitals

D.slackingnursesandbadservices

正确答案：B

［解析］根据文中第一段的内容uThereisalotofspecialization,a

greatdealofattentiontotheindividual,avastamountofadvanced

Lechnicalequipment可矢口,B项“agreatdealofpersonalalluiilion很

多个人护理”符合题意。A项“粗心医生偶然的错误”，第一段提到医院有专业

化的团队，为避免错误不遗余力，所以A项说法不正确；C项“医生和医院的低

收费”，文中提到大部分医疗费用由保险公司支付，所以医院收费很高，由此C

项错误；D项“松散的护士和劣质的服务”，第一段说病人能得到医院高质量的

关怀，所以说服务劣质也不符合文意，所以这三项都排除。

2.Theword"specialization〃underlinedinParagraph1isclosest

inmeaningto_____.

A.restriction

B.class

C.standard

D.norm

正确答案：A

［解析］根据文中第一段的内容aThereisalotofspecializationw可知,

B.theycaremuchabouttheirreputation

C.theycompeteforgettingmorepatients

D.theywishtojointheprivatemedicalsystem

正确答案：A

［解析］根据文中第一段的内容“andintenseeffortnottomakemistakes

becauseofthefinancialriskwhichdoctorsandhospitalsmustface

inthecoupsiftheyhandlethingsbadly.v可知，一旦医生和医院处理事

情不当，他们将在法庭上面临财务风险，所以A项“他们害怕被病人控告”符

合题意。B项“他们很在意他们的名誉”，C项“他们竞争得到更多的病人”，

D项“他们想加入私人医疗体系”，这三项和第一段内容不符合。

4.Thephase"inairess〃underlinedinParagraph2isclosestin

meaningto.

A.indisorder

B.untidy

C.unclean

D.chaotic

正确答案：A

［解析］根据文中第二段的内容“ButtheAmericansareinamess”可知,

但在美国一片混乱。选项中的A项为“无秩序的，混乱的”符合文意。B项“不

整洁的”，C项“不干净的”，D项“混沌的”，这三项均不符合题意°

5.WhatdoMostAmericansthinkabouthealthcareintheU.S.?

A.Itmustbeintotalchaos.

B.Itmustbeafreecompetitionsystem.

D.Itshouldinvolveprivatecare.

正确答案：B

［解析］根据文中第二段的内容uContrarytopublicbelief,itisnot

justafreecompetitionsystem.和公众的信念相反，美国的医疗体系不是一

个公平竞争的体系”可知，公众认为它是一个自由竞争体系，所以8项符合题

意。A项“它一定处在一片混乱中”，C项“它应该覆盖失业人员”，D项“它

应该包含私人护理”，这三项和文中第二段内容不符合。

6.Thephase"leftout"underlinedinParagraph3isclosestin

C.eliminate

D.debar

正确答案：A

［解析］根据文中第三段的内容alargenumbersofAmericansareleft

out"可知，大部分美国人被忽视了。选项中的A项为“忽视，忽略”符合文

意。B项“考虑”，C项“排除，消除”，D项“防止，禁止”，这三项均不符

合题意。

7.FromParagraph3weknowthatfromthepublichealth

system.

A.millionsofjoblesspeoplegetsupport

B.thosewithsteadyincomedonotseekhelp

C.somepeoplearemadeineligibletobenefit

D.thosewithprivatehealthcareareexcluded

正确答案：C

［解析］根据文中第三段的内容“Theseincludeabouthalfthe11million

unemployedandthosewhofailtomeetthestrictlimitsonincome

fixedbyaguveiiniieiiLLiyingLomakesavingswhereiIcan.”可矢口,在

美国一些失业人员和那些拥有政府的固定的收入，严格讲不符合规定，试图通

过此方式储蓄的那部分人仍然得不到医疗体系的帮助，所以C项符合题意。A项

“成千上万的失业人员从公共医疗体系得到帮助”，这和文中内容相反；B项

“有稳定收入的人不从公共医疗体系寻求帮助”，D项“有私人医疗保险的人被

排除在外"，B、D和文中第三段内容不符合。

8.Accordingtotheauthor,whatisthekeyfactorintheriseof

［解析］根据文中第四段的内容“Thebasicproblem,however,isthat

thereisnocentralcontroloverthehealthsystem.Thereisno1imit

towhatdoctorsandhospitalschargefortheirservices,otherthan

whatthepublicisabletopay.可知，医生和医院收费高，是因为政府控制

不到位，所以C项“对医疗价格政府缺乏控制”符合题意。A项“保险公司拒付

医疗账单”，B项“医生和医院数量的增加”，D项“私人医疗体系和公共医疗

体系的合并”，这三项和第四段内容不符合，不是医院收费高的根本原因。

9.Theword"they"underlinedinParagraph5refersto.

A.doctors

B.money

C.population

D.patients

正确答案：A

［解析］根据文中第五段的内容uDoctorschargeasmuchastheywant

knowingthattheinsurancecompanywillpaythebill”可知，医生根据

他们想要的尽量多收费，因为他们知道保险公司会支付的。由此可知，they代

指前面提到的医生。所以正确答案是A选项。

10.ItisimpliedthatAmericandoctorsoften.

A.tradetheirprofessionalismforfinancialbenefits

B.failtorecognizethepayingpowerofthepatients

C.discussabouthowtomakemoneyduringthesurgery

［解析］根据文中第一段的内容“Withsuchvastincomesthetalkinthe

doctor，ssurgeryisaslikelytobeaboutthedoctor，slatest

financialdeal,asaboutwhethertheminoroperationheis

recommendingat,severalthousanddollarsisentirelynecessary.v可

知，C项“在手术中讨论如何赚钱”符合题意。A项“用他们的专业知识去换取

经济利益”，B项“不能辨别出病人的支付能力”，A、B两项在文中没有提

到；D项“给病人昂贵的不需要的治疗”，文中提到昂贵，但是没有提到治疗是

不是病人需要不需要的，所以D不正确。
