12.    “Though they soon will, patients should not have a legal right to see their medical records. As a doctor, I see two reasons for this. First, giving them access will be time-wasting because it will significantly reduce the amount of time that medical staff can spend on more important duties, by forcing them to retrieve and return files. Second, if my experience is anything to go by, no patients are going to ask for access to their records anyway.”
Which one of the following, if true, establishes that the doctor’s second reason does not cancel out the first?
(A) The new law will require that doctors, when seeing a patient in their office, must be ready to produce the patient’s records immediately, not just ready to retrieve them.
(B) The task of retrieving and returning files would fall to the lowest-paid member of a doctor’s office staff.
(C) Any patients who asked to see their medical records would also insist on having details they did not understand explained to them.
(D) The new law does not rule out that doctors may charge patients for extra expenses incurred specifically in order to comply with the new law.
(E) Some doctors have all allowing their patients access to their medical records, but those doctors’ patients took no advantage of this policy.
这题第二个原因是什么意思？题目问的是什么也看不太明白？

以前有这个题得，你去找找
问题得翻译是：下面哪句话说明医生的第二个理由无法反对第一个
两个理由前一个是找档案很烦，后一个是根本就不会有人找
所以本身就是矛盾得，找一个选项说明第二个理由无法反对第一个就可以了

答案是A。
这个医生列举了两条理由来说明patients should not have a legal right to see their medical records。
第一是first, giving them access will be time-wasting because it will significantly reduce the amount of time that medical staff can spend on more important duties, by forcing them to retrieve and return files.
二是 no patients are going to ask for access to their records anyway.”
就是说一是因为给病人看记录会占用时间 二没有病人会想要问医生要记录看
但是A说法律规定必须医生给病人看。那么显然第二个理由是不能成立的。

深海的小美人鱼

问题问的是下面哪一个答案使得医生的第二个原因不能和第一个原因抵销。
因为如果病人不要求看的话，医生没必要给病人看
也就不浪费时间
但是法律规定以后，病人不要求看
医生也要给看。

找出一个能够让两个理由共存得选项
谢谢小鱼得指点，搞透了

啊，看了两位的解释，恍然大悟。

终于明白其实这道题有点像explanation题，要你reconcile两个互相矛盾的理由，这样，A就成了唯一满足的正确答案。
