The high cost of medical services and unnecessary tests and treatments have driven up medical expenses. 【正確答案】C 【答案解析】本題意為 : 高昂的醫(yī)療服務(wù)費和不必要的檢測和治療促使醫(yī)療費用增加。原文 C 段提到Medical spending… is propelled by two things: the high prices charged for medical services… and the volume of unnecessary care… which often perform a lot more tests and treatments(醫(yī)療費用受兩種事物的推進 :高昂的醫(yī)療服務(wù)費和不必要的眾多檢查和治療費用) ,所以本題選 C。 43. One main factor that has driven up medical expenses is that doctors are pensated for the amount of care rather than its effect. 【正確答案】I 【答案解析】原文 I 段講述了醫(yī)生的收入問題。開頭提到 : the feeforservice system—doctors are rewarded for the quantity of care rather than its quality or effectiveness—is a primary reason that the cost of care is so high (在醫(yī)療服務(wù)體系中,醫(yī)生的收入是跟治療的數(shù)量,而非質(zhì)量或效果掛鉤的,這是造成醫(yī)療費用高昂的主要原因) ,故本題符合 I 段的概述。 44.

We believe negotiation could work(一些官方分析家質(zhì)疑部長能比私營保險公司得到更好的價錢,我們相信談判行得通) ,后面又補充一句 : It does in other countries(在其他國家成功了) 。由此可推斷作者與分析家的觀點相反, 所以本題選 P 段。 45.

In the Qing Dynasty, qipao was a loose robe worn by the royal women. In the 1920s, influenced by western clothing, it has undergone some changes. For example, the cuffs became narrower, and the robe became shorter. These changes enable qipao to fully bring out the feminine beauty. Today, qipao often appears on the worldclass fashion shows. It is usually the first choice for Chinese women when they attend social parties. Meanwhile, many Chinese brides would choose it as their wedding dress. Some influen tial persons even suggested that qipao should be made the national costume for Chinese women.此資料由網(wǎng)絡(luò)收集而來,如有侵權(quán)請告知上傳者立即刪除。資料共分享,我們負責(zé)傳遞知識。
