B 的 in fact 是插入语,把它去掉,其实 B 讲的是新测试的误诊都是将没病当成有病,所以这符合 using this test, doctors can largely avoid unnecessary removals of the appendix without performing any fewer necessary ones than before —— 大量减少没必要的开刀而不减少必要的开刀(有杀错,无放过 ) C 里面只是说诊断出有病的的确有病,不符合题意 选 B

同意ls的,这个解释比较能快速地把C排除掉,我认为理解B的关键在于理解doctors can largely avoid unnecessary removals of the appendix without, however, performing any fewer necessary ones than before这句话的意思
而新的方法只有2%的错误率(producing two misdiagnoses for every 98 correct diagnoses)。注意,correct diagonoses包括两种,有病的确诊为有病,没病的确诊为没病;同样,misdiagnoses也包括两种,有病的确诊为没病,没病的确诊为有病。如果文中所说的misdiagonoses是指有有病的确诊为没病,那么不可能得到clearly中的结论,因为新的测试会诊断78个病人,另外22个没病的人。所以misdiagonoses 一定是指将没病的人确诊为有病,也就是新的测试会诊断82个病人,其中2个没病,另外18个没病的人。
B选项的定义正好和上文所说的符合。所以选B。
C选项说所有被新方法诊断有病的人真的有病。它包含了misdiagnoses的两种情况,所以不是正确答案。 Appendicitis (inflammation of the appendix) is potentially fatal; consequently, patients with symptoms strongly suggesting appendicitis almost always have their appendix removed. The appropriate surgery is low-risk but performed unnecessarily in about 20 percent of all cases. A newly developed internal scan for appendicitis is highly accurate, producing two misdiagnoses for every 98 correct diagnoses. Clearly, using this test, doctors can largely avoid unnecessary removals of the appendix without, however, performing any fewer necessary ones than before, since ______. A. the patients who are correctly diagnosed with this test as not having appendicitis invariably have medical conditions that are much less serious than appendicitis B. the misdiagnoses produced by this test are always instances of attributing appendicitis to someone who does not, in fact, have it C. all of the patients who are diagnosed with this test as having appendicitis do, in fact, have appendicitis D. every patient who is diagnosed with this test as having appendicitis has more than one of the symptoms generally associated with appendicitis E. the only patients who are misdiagnosed using this test are patients who lack one or more of the symptoms that are generally associated with appendicitis
