fety,ashospitalsmightbeunabletoperformlife-savingoperationsorprotectpeoplefromthespreadofdiseases.(他们还担心供应链问题会威胁到患者的安全，因为医院可能会无法进行挽救生命的手术，也无法防止疾病传播)”可知，医院和制造商最为担忧的问题是供应链中断威胁到患者安全。故选C。【6题详析】细节理解题。根据第三段“Thesespecificproductshavelowprofits,whichmakesthemdifficulttoproduceinasustainablewaywithintheUnitedStates.(这些特定产品利润微薄，这使得它们在美国难以以可持续的方式进行生产)”可知，美国无法可持续地生产大部分防护口罩和手套是因为这些产品的利润很低。故选A。【7题详析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“TheAmericanHospitalAssociationsuggestsa“balancedapproach.”Thisplanincludescreatingatariff-exemptionprocessforcriticalproductsthatmightbeinshortsupply.(美国医院协会建议采取“平衡策略”。该方案包括为可能出现供应短缺的关键产品设立关税豁免程序)”可知，美国医院协会提出的“平衡方案”是建立一个取消基本物资关税的制度。故选C。CHumansaresohardwiredtofitinwiththecrowdthattheyoftenignorepotentialrisks.Followingtrendsblindlyisn’tasignofcharacterweaknessormentalhealthtrouble.Instead,sayspsychologistPamelaB.Rutledge,it’sperfectlynormal.Thatislinkedwithapsychologicalconceptthatreferstohumans’coreneedtobelongtoasocialgroupandbondwithothers.It’sconsideredtobeoneofhumans’basicneeds.Multiplepsychologicalanalysesarguethathumanconnectionsareasimportantasbasicslikefoodandshelter.Thoughfollowingatrendonsocialmediaisn’texactlyasimportantasoutrunningatiger,humanevolutionhasmadeourbrainsadaptthemselvestosocialsignals.Hassocialmediachangedhowhumanssignaltheirsocialconditiontooneanother?Notexactly,saysRutledge.“Rather,ithascertainlyallowedcertaintrendstocirculatefasterandfartherthantheywouldhaveotherwise.Takefashion:Whiletrendsoncewalkeddownfromfashionrunwaystowardcommonuseoveryears,socialmedianowallowsmini-trendstoemergeanddieoutwithinweeks.”Peopleallfindthattrendselicitapull,andpsychologistshavefiguredoutreasons.Blameevolutionagain,Rutledgesuggests.“Ourbrainsarehardwiredtonoticethingsthatareunusual,”shesays.“Ifit’snotnormalandotherpeoplearealldoingit,wehavetocheckitout.”Thus,wenoticeattentiongrabbers,givingtrendsevenmorereasonsforpeopletofollowthem.Nooneisfreefromnoticingtrends,butonegroupinparticularismorelikelytofollowtrends:Teensandyoungadults.Olderadultstendtofeelmoresecureintheiridentity,asensethatmayprotectthemfrombeingassensitivetoeverypassingcraze.Indeed,socialattentionvariesbyage,witholderadultsnotpayingasmuchattentiontohowtheycommunicateandarelinkedwithothersastheiryoungercounterparts.Individualsmaybemoresensitivetosocialreward-positiveinputfrommembersoftheirsocialcircles-duringmidlife.8.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“hardwired”mostprobablymeaninthefirstsentenceofthepassage?A.Connectedbywires.
