段1:①It is said that in England death is pressing, in Canada inevitable and in California optional. ②Small wonder. ③Americans’ life expectancy has nearly doubled over the past century. ④Failing hips can be replaced, clinical depression controlled, cataracts removed in a 30-minute surgical procedure. ⑤Such advances offer the aging population a quality of life that was unimaginable when I entered medicine 50 years ago. ⑥But not even a great health-care system can cure death—and our failure to confront that reality now threatens this greatness of ours.
段2:①Death is normal; we are genetically programmed to disintegrate and perish, even under ideal conditions. ②We all understand that at some level, yet as medical consumers we treat death as a problem to be solved...
段3:①In 1950, the U.S. spent $12.7 billion on health care. ②In 2002, the cost will be $1 540 billion. ③Anyone can see this trend is unsustainable. ④Yet few seem willing to try to reverse it...
段4:①I would not go that far... ⑥As a mere 68-year-old, I wish to age as productively as they have.
段5:①Yet there are limits to what a society can spend in this pursuit. ②As a physician, I know the most costly and dramatic measures may be ineffective and painful. ③I also know that people in Japan and Sweden, countries that spend far less on medical care, have achieved longer, healthier lives than we have. ④As a nation, we may be overfunding the quest for unlikely cures while underfunding research on humbler therapies that could improve people’s lives.
60. The text intends to express the idea that
[A] medicine will further prolong people’s lives.
[B] life beyond a certain limit is not worth living.
[C] death should be accepted as a fact of life.
[D] excessive demands increase the cost of health care.
答案:C
问:60题A选项medicine will further prolong people’s lives的错误原因包括如下哪些?(多选题)
A : 原文只提到美国人的预期寿命has nearly doubled over the past century(在过去一个世纪里几乎延长了一倍),阐述的是已经发生的事实,未提及选项说的will further prolong(将进一步延长),选项混淆时间
B : 原文主要阐述的是医疗手段的弊端(aggressive treatment far beyond what is scientifically justified),而选项内容正好与文章观点相反,属于反向干扰
C : 选项中的内容在文中并未出现,属于无中生有
D : 选项内容medicine... prolong people’s lives“医学延长人们的寿命”只涉及到了文章部分段落,不能涵盖全文
