STEP 2 精确定位答案
[fly][/fly]
刚刚分析完了题干,现在就可以带着我们的问题来读文章了,请阅读文章,回答2个问题:
It is said that in England death is pressing, in Canada inevitable and in California optional. Small wonder. Americans' life expectancy has nearly doubled over the past century. Failing hips can be replaced, clinical depression controlled, cataracts removed in a 30-minute surgical procedure. Such advances offer the aging population a quality of life that was unimaginable when I entered medicine 50 years ago. But not even a great health-care system can cure death — and our failure to confront that reality now threatens this greatness of ours. Death is normal; we are genetically programmed to disintegrate and perish, even under ideal conditions. We all understand that at some level, yet as medical consumers we treat death as a problem to be solved. Shielded by third-party payers from the cost of our care, we demand everything that can possibly be done for us, even if it's useless. The most obvious example is late-stage cancer care. Physicians — frustrated by their inability to cure the disease and fearing loss of hope in the patient — too often offer aggressive treatment far beyond what is scientifically justified. |
56. What is implied in the first sentence?
[A] Americans are better prepared for death than other people.
[B) Americans enjoy a higher life quality than ever before.
[C] Americans are over-confident of their medical technology.
[D] Americans take a vain pride in their long life expectancy.
57. The author uses the example of cancer patients to show that ________.
[A] medical resources are often wasted
[B)doctors are helpless against fatal diseases
[C] some treatments are too aggressive
[D] medical costs are becoming unaffordable

答题思考过程(海豚独家哦,仅供参考):
56、没办法,问段落主旨的,只好老老实实地看一遍文章。
文章第一句是:It is said that in England death is pressing, in Canada inevitable and in California optional. Small wonder. 这一类问段落主旨的问题,在看的时候,都要注意文中是否有转折词。因为作者都喜欢先说一堆,然后来个转折,说自己的观点,一般转折词后面的才是作者真正想表达的,这算是中文里的欲扬先抑吧?
言归正传。在文中找到这样一句:But not even a great health-care system can cure death — and our failure to confront that reality now threatens this greatness of ours.用笔划下来。说在美国是可以是否死亡是可以选择的,然后转折说not even a great health-care system can cure death。
大概作者的意思了解了以后,我们去看看选项。A、B,好像是有这么说的感觉,但是只是前一部分的说法,和作者的那个转折以后的意思没什么共同点,pass!C,意思接近了哦~D,好像还是再说好的,但是作者明明态度就没有说“好”啊,所以确定是C~
57、在文中找到和cancer patients 有关的那句话,它的前一句和后一句都要注意:Shielded by third-party payers from the cost of our care, we demand everything that can possibly be done for us, even if it's useless.和Physicians — frustrated by their inability to cure the disease and fearing loss of hope in the patient — too often offer aggressive treatment far beyond what is scientifically justified.
首先可以看到C选项和第二句有重复的地方,我们先来判断一下这一选项:貌似正确,保留。再看看D,完全没有提到哦,pass~
B也是文中可以推测出来的意思,但是,不是作者举这个例子所想要表达的意思,因为作者没有说,只是我们看了文章再看这个选项,觉得像是作者要表达的意思,其实不是的哦~大家要小心陷阱
现在就剩A和C了,二选一,区别谁是正确答案的关键在于我们刚刚画出来的第一个句子,大概理解一下句子:因为有人出钱,所以我们要很多,即使没有用。这时可以看出A是完全符合的,而这时可以发现C虽然貌似正确,但是极端的治疗方法,是不是就是说在浪费医疗资源呢?C是被A包含的,C只是说出了一部分的目的,不是全部的意思~
所以,A
