问答题
Your doctor is recommending a surgical procedure you’re unsure about. Or maybe you’ve just received a diagnosis you don’t understand. Or perhaps your doctor isn’t giving you any diagnosis at all and you still don’t feel right. In all these situations, you should seek a second opinion from another physician. That’s a message most Americans don’t seem to get. According to a 2005 Gallup poll, about half of 5,000 Americans surveyed said they never seek a second opinion when their doctor “diagnoses a condition, or prescribes a treatment, drug, or operation” while just 3 percent say they always seek one.  What’s the problem? In most cases, it’s ignorance of how the healthcare system works. Patients just don’t understand that doctors think seeking a second opinion is routine. Many insurers recommend it and some even require it for certain procedures. (1)_________________.  Doctors say that both men and women should seek a second opinion in virtually all types of non-emergency surgery, when your doctor recommends long-term medication that has potential side effects and if you are not feeling better despite repeated visits to your doctor. In the first two cases, studies indicate that the second physician is most likely to confirm the initial recommendation, but may also suggest alternatives for you to consider.  (2)_________________. That’s especially true if you a get a recommendation for a hysterectomy, an operation in which the uterus is removed. It’s the second most common surgery among American women. And yet, many doctors think there are other ways to deal with some of the problems—such as uterine fibroids, pain or heavy bleeding—that lead to hysterectomies. Those other options might include medication or less drastic procedures.  Women should also seek a second opinion for unresolved cardiac problems. Until recently, for example, doctors didn’t understand that the signs of a heart attack in women can be very different from those in men. (3)_________________.  Deciding you need another opinion is the first step. How do you find the right doctor? (4)_________________.  Other resources include local medical societies, and academic medical centers, which often are the best place to find state-of-the-art treatment options. You want to find someone who is an expert on your particular problem.  (5)_________________. Dr. Jonathan Schaffer, managing director of e-Cleveland Clinic, says online second opinions are appropriate when the condition has “objective criteria”—in other words, an imaging study, stress test or pathology results. But it’s not appropriate for conditions that require more subjective interpretation, he says, such as earlier stages of breast cancer, when mammogram readings can vary and in-person consultation could be more useful.  Most of the time, the second opinion confirms the first, Cummings says, but when there is a conflict, you may have to go to a third doctor. You can also ask both of the first two doctors to explain their decisions in more detail. When the time comes to make a decision, the Ottawa Personal Decision Guide offers a step-by-step worksheet.  [A] But women in particular often say they feel awkward about consulting another doctor because they worry that their primary physician will be less than cordial in future visits. In fact, that’s rarely the case.  [B] Another possibility is an online consultation, offered by the Cleveland Clinic, among other places.  [C] In addition to these general recommendations, women should get a second opinion for certain issues specific to gender.  [D] Many physicians suggest starting with your primary-care doctor.  [E] Consulting another doctor will be a fashion in developed countries, especially in the United States.  [F] Tests given to detect heart disease in men may not always be sensitive to women’s heart problems so if you get an all-clear but continue to experience symptoms such as shortness of breath or periods of rapid heartbeat, you should seek another opinion—preferably from a specialist in women’s heart disease.  [G] You must first get the permission of Ministry of Health, and under the supervision of Government’s health care system if you need a second opinion.(此文选自Newsweek2008年刊)

参考答案和解析
正确答案:
1. A 本文首段提出人们接受第一位医生的诊断之后,多种情况下并不寻求第二位医生的意见,也并不关心医疗系统是如何运转的,这是一种社会现象,那么出现这种现象的原因是什么?七个选项中,只有A具体提到了妇女feel awkward about consulting another doctor,这样就尅可以看出其中的原因。而且but一词,与前文医生和保险公司的建议形成对比,进一步突出人们不愿寻求第二位医生意见的心理。故为正确答案。
2. C 上文列举了医生建议在就医时应该寻求第二种意见的三种情况,在C中提到In addition to these general recommendations,与上文医生的建议相呼应,同时过渡到另一层意思:关于women应该寻求第二种意见的建议,这与下文提到的That’s especially true…among American women衔接紧密,故C是本题答案。本体可能误选E, 讲寻求第二种意见将成为发达国家的一种时尚,虽然讲的也是本文的主题,但上下文均没有提到寻求第二种意见是否会成为一种时尚,故排除此项。
3. F 空缺处前文提到the signs of a heart attack in women can be very different from those in men讲男女心脏病不同的表现症状, 由F中heart disease in men may not always be sensitive to women’s heart problems可以初步断定为F,由根据上下文逻辑及语义关系,故F为正确答案。
4. D D中出现了两个关键词suggest和primary-care,由上文可知,suggest是表示提出解决办法的,正好上文是需解决的问题How do you find the right doctor? 可以初步判定本题答案是D。而后文则出现了other resources…,说明空缺处是一种解决方案,故答案为D。
5. B B Another possibility is an online consultation,说明是与前面所提内容并列,联系上文可知,这是另一种寻求第二种意见的方法,符合文章上下文语义逻辑关系,故B为正确答案。误选项G讲的是寻求第二种意见所需的条件,而本文的最后提到了如何获得第二种意见,但并没有提到获得第二种意见要受什么限制,所以排除此项。

    Mind Those Manners on the Subway
    So,there you are,just sitting there in the subway car,enjoying that book you just bought ______(46) Or , the person sitting next to you takes out a nail clipper(指甲刀)and begins cutting his or her nails.
    Annoying? Many of us have to spend some time every day on public transportation.
    ______(47)So,to make the trip more pleasant,we suggest the following:
    Let passengers get off the bus or subway car before you can get on.______(48)
    Stand away from the doors when they are closing.
    Don't talk loudly on a bus or subway.Chatting loudly with your friends can be annoying to others.______(49)
    Don't think your bags and suitcases(手提箱)deserve a seat of their own.
    Use a tissue whenever you cough or sneeze(打喷嚏).An uncovered sneeze can spread germs (细菌), especially in crowded places.
    Don't cut your nails or pick your nose on public transportation. Don't read over other people's shoulder.______(50)It can make people uncomfortable.They might think you're too stingy (小气的)even to buy a newspaper. Or they might think you're judging their behavior.

    ______(49)
    A: Don't eat food in your car.
    B: Don't shout into your mobile phone on a bus or subway.
    C: We all know that some behaviors are simply unacceptable.
    D: Many people do this on subways,but it's really annoying.
    E: Getting off and on in an orderly manner can save time for all.
    F: Suddenly,you feel someone leaning over your shoulder reading along with you.

    答案:B
    解析:
    空格前句说“那么比如你刚在地铁车厢中坐下,享受你刚买的一本书”,答案句说 “突然你感觉某人料靠在你的肩上和你一道阅读”,关键词是reading,有助于我们判断它与前面的句子相关联,与enjoying that book相呼应。


    空格后句说“因此,为了使旅行更愉快,我们有以下建议”。答案句说“我们都知道一些行为自然是不被接受的”,根据句意,与空格后句之间有逻辑上的因果关系。


    空格前句说“你上公共汽车或地铁之前让乘客先下”。答案句说“有秩序地上下车为大家节省时间”,关键词get off,get on在这两句都出现,从这两个句子所表述的意义来看,空格前句提出建议,空格答案进行解释。


    空格前两句说“不要在公共汽车或地铁上大声说话。大声地和你朋友闲谈会令其他人懊恼”。答案句说“不要在汽车或地铁上高声打电话”,显然答案句是对其前面两句内容的进一步补充说明,符合逻辑关系。


    空格前句说“不要越过别人肩膀读书”,答案句说“许多人在地铁上这样做,但它真的很令人懊恼”,与后句“它使人不舒服”一同对前句之建议进行解释。而且答案句中关键词this在前句有指代时象,与后句中it的指代时象一致。

    Knowing Your Real Personality from Sleeping Positions
    Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real.You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself,but when you're asleep,your sleeping position shows the real you.In a normal night,of course,you often change your sleeping positions.The important position that best shows your se-cret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
    If you go to sleep on your back,you're a very open person.You nbrmally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas.You don't like to make people unhappy,so you never ex-press your real feelings.You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.
    If you sleep on your stomach,you are a person who likes to keep secrets.You worry a lot and you're always easily becoming sad.You never want to change your ideas,but you are satisfied with your life the way it is.You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
    If you sleep on curled up,you are probably a very nervous person.You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt,so you are very defensive.You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people.You like to be on your own.
    If you sleep on your side,you have usually got a well-balanced personality.You know your strengths and weaknesses.You're usually careful.You have a confident personality.You sometimes feel worried,but you don't often get unhappy .You always say what you think,even if it makes people angry.

    Don't cut your nails or pick your nose on public transportation.
    Don't read over other people's shoulder._________(50)It can make people uncomfortable. They might think you're too stingy(小气的)even to buy a newspaper. Or they might think you're judging their behavior.

    ________(49)
    A:Don't eat food in your car.
    B:Don't shout into your mobile phone on a bus or subway.
    C:We all know that some behaviors are simply unacceptable.
    D:Many people do this on subways,but it's really annoying.
    E:Getting off and on in an orderly manner can save time for all.
    F:Suddenly,you feel someone leaning over your shoulder reading along with you.

    答案:B
    解析:
    空格前句说“假如你刚在地铁车厢中坐下,阅读你刚买的一本书”,选项F 说“突然你感觉某人抖靠在你的肩上和你一道阅读”,关键词是reading,有助于我们判断它与前面的句子相关联,与enjoying that book相呼应。
    空格后句说“因此,为了使旅行更愉快,我们有以下建议”。选项C说“我们都知道一些行为是完全不被接受的”,根据句义,与空格后的句子之间有逻辑上的因果关系。
    空格前句说“你上公共汽车或地铁之前让乘客先下”。选项E说“有秩序地上下车可以为大家节省时间”,关键词get off, get on在这两句中都出现过,从这两个句子所表述的意义来看,空格前句提出建议,空格所在句子进行解释。
    空格前两句说“不要在公共汽车或地铁上大声说话。大声地和你朋友闲谈会令其他人讨厌”。选项B说“不要在汽车或地铁上高声打电话”,显然选项B是对其前面两句内容的进一步补充说明,符合逻辑关系。
    空格前句说“不要越过别人肩膀读书”,选项D说“许多人在地铁上这样做,但它真的很令人讨厌”,与后句“它使人不舒服”一同对前句之建议进行解释。而且选项D 中关键词this在前句有指代对象,与后句中it的指代对象一致。

    Knowing Your Real Personality from Sleeping Positions
    Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real.You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself,but when you're asleep,your sleeping position shows the real you.In a normal night,of course,you often change your sleeping positions.The important position that best shows your se-cret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
    If you go to sleep on your back,you're a very open person.You nbrmally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas.You don't like to make people unhappy,so you never ex-press your real feelings.You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.
    If you sleep on your stomach,you are a person who likes to keep secrets.You worry a lot and you're always easily becoming sad.You never want to change your ideas,but you are satisfied with your life the way it is.You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
    If you sleep on curled up,you are probably a very nervous person.You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt,so you are very defensive.You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people.You like to be on your own.
    If you sleep on your side,you have usually got a well-balanced personality.You know your strengths and weaknesses.You're usually careful.You have a confident personality.You sometimes feel worried,but you don't often get unhappy .You always say what you think,even if it makes people angry.

    C: At night.
    D: During the deep sleep.

    解析:
    整篇文章介绍的是人物的性格特征,外在的和内在的,说明和科学有关。

    由文章第三段中的“If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets.”可知。
    从文章第四段中“You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt,”可知,保护自己不受到伤害,那么defensive意为“有戒心的”。
