Q12.

In Kantovia, physicians’ income comes from insurance companies, which require

physicians to document their decisions in treating patients and to justify deviations(背离) from the companies’ treatment guidelines. Ten years ago physicians were allowed

more discretion（判断力）. Most physicians believe that the companies’ requirements now prevent them from spending enough time with patients. Yet the average amount of time a patient spends with a physician during an office visit has actually increased somewhat over the last ten years.



Which of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy

between physicians’ perceptions and the change in the actual time spent?



A.Patients are more likely to be in a hurry nowadays and are less willing to

wait a long time to see their physician.

B.Physicians today typically have a wider range of options in diagnosis and

treatment to consider with the patient before prescribing.

C.Physicians are increasingly likely to work in group practices, sharing the

responsibility of night and weekend work.

D.Most patients would rather trust their physicians than their insurance

companies to make decisions about their treatment.

E.Since the insurance companies pay physicians a set amount for each

office visit, it is to physicians’ financial advantage to see as many

Patients as possible.

Answer:

这道题的答案是B，不是非常理解，请大家帮忙看看！谢谢！

原文的矛盾之处是：
因为十年前医生拥有更多的判断力，因此肯定比原来需要更多的时间对病人进行诊断，但是在这十年来的数据证明了医生已经提高了时间对病人的诊断，但是仍感觉公司的政策（要求医生证明他们的结论以及证明他们的偏离公司规定治疗方针）阻止他们与病人沟通的时间。

B：现在医生通常给病人开处方之前有更多的治疗诊断选择。  （因此解决了原文的矛盾：为什么医生在与病人接触时间增长的情况下仍然觉得时间不够）
