Question

【題目】

Today we can do everything with apps: pay bills, order food and shop for anything. Mobile technology means we can hold the world in our hands. However, when it comes to technology and health care, opportunities and challenges come together.

Let’s start with the ways to get health care. Telemedicine can allow a patient to use technology to see the doctor online and get a diagnosis (診斷) and instructions without leaving home.

In addition, there are many patient websites. These allow for different kinds of interactions about our health needs without involving the medical team. Setting a date with doctors and reading lab results are readily achieved by technology.

A whole new age of medical care seems likely (可能的) to come in the future. But every coin has two sides. What might be on the other side of techno-health care?

Firstly, we should think about the health care experience as a whole. A usual visit to a doctor begins with a receptionist (接待員) , who can see and tell how a patient is doing, This may influence the treatment effect. It’s unlikely that a patient website will have such intuition.

Next, sharing the details of one's life requires trust, which takes time to build. This is certainly true in health care, where some of life's best and worst moments involve doctors. The human touch should not be undervalued and is unlikely to be there over the smartphone.

Lastly, test results can be difficult to understand. When someone without a medical degree sees a flagged result with no explanation on the website, there's room for all kinds of stories to form in their minds—and also great worry.

So how does medicine adapt (適應(yīng)) to the new technology age? Very talented companies are working on it .There is medical equipment(設(shè)備) that can be used at home to send necessary signs and heart sounds through telemedicine . It seems likely that some companies will find a way to explain test results.

But what it will not achieve is the warmth of human interaction and touch. Patients often need someone to listen to —and care about—their journey story, which will never be realized through a human-less technology. Technology should be a tool, but depending on it totally will most certainly have unexpected effects. Let's not allow our humanity to be one of them.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】C

【4】D

【解析】

本文講述了技術(shù)進步給健康醫(yī)療領(lǐng)域帶來的機遇和挑戰(zhàn)。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Telemedicine can allow a patient to use technology to see the doctor online and get a diagnosis (診斷) and instructions without leaving home. 遠程醫(yī)療可以讓病人不用離開家就可以使用技術(shù)在線看醫(yī)生并得到診斷和指導(dǎo)�！�，可知它為病人提供了一種方便的診斷方法，故選B。

【2】

詞義猜測題。an ability to understand理解的能力；an interesting experience有趣的經(jīng)歷；a chance to win獲勝的機會；a fair decision公平的決定。根據(jù)猜題所在句子中的such可知intuition指代的是上文中的“A usual visit to a doctor begins with a receptionist (接待員) , who can see and tell how a patient is doing, This may influence the treatment effect. 通常去看醫(yī)生的時候會有一個前臺接待員，他可以看到并告訴病人情況，這可能會影響治療效果�！�，可知猜題句是指“病人的網(wǎng)站不太可能有這樣的理解能力”,所以intuition應(yīng)指“理解的能力”，故選A。

【3】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段中“Next, sharing the details of one's life requires trust, which takes time to build. ”，可知分享生活細(xì)節(jié)需要信任，所以選項A是錯誤的；根據(jù)第八段中“Very talented companies are working on it”，可知有能力的公司正致力于解決這個問題，所以選項B是錯誤的；根據(jù)第七段中“When someone without a medical degree sees a flagged result with no explanation on the website, there's room for all kinds of stories to form in their minds—and also great worry. 當(dāng)一個沒有醫(yī)學(xué)學(xué)位的人在網(wǎng)站上看到一個沒有任何解釋的標(biāo)記結(jié)果時，就會有各種各樣的故事在他們腦海中形成，同時也會產(chǎn)生巨大的擔(dān)憂�！�，可知標(biāo)記的結(jié)果可能會引起患者的擔(dān)憂，所以選項C是正確的；根據(jù)第八段中“There is medical equipment(設(shè)備) that can be used at home to send necessary signs and heart sounds through telemedicine .”，可知有醫(yī)療設(shè)備可以在家里通過遠程醫(yī)療發(fā)送必要的信號和心臟聲音，所以選項D是錯的。故選C。

【4】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“Technology should be a tool, but depending on it totally will most certainly have unexpected effects.”，可知技術(shù)應(yīng)該是一種工具，但完全依賴它肯定會產(chǎn)生意想不到的效果，所以選項A是錯誤的；選項B意為“遠程醫(yī)療可以取代通常的醫(yī)療保健�！保�文章中沒有提及，所以排除；根據(jù)第八段中“So how does medicine adapt (適應(yīng)) to the new technology age? Very talented companies are working on it那么醫(yī)學(xué)如何適應(yīng)新技術(shù)時代呢? 有能力的公司正致力于解決這個問題�！�，可知選項C是錯誤的；根據(jù)最后一段“Technology should be a tool, but depending on it totally will most certainly have unexpected effects. Let's not allow our humanity to be one of them. 技術(shù)應(yīng)該是一種工具，但完全依賴它肯定會產(chǎn)生意想不到的效果。讓我們的人性不用成為其中一個。”，可知選項D符合原文。故選D。
