Questions 1-2

A physician who is too through in conducting a medical checkup is likely to subject the patient to the discomfort and expense of unnecessary tests. One who is not thorough enough is likely to miss some serious problem and therefore give the patient a false sense of security. It is difficult for physicians to judge exactly how thorough they should be. Therefore, it is generally unwise for patients to have medical checkups when they do not feel ill.

1. Which one of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the argument in the passage?

(A) Some serious diseases in their early stages have symptoms that physicians can readily detect.

(B) Under the pressure of reduced reimbursements, physicians have been reducing the average amount of time they spend on each medical checkup.

(C) Patients not medically trained are unable to judge foe themselves what degree of thoroughness is appropriate for physicians in conducting medical checkups.

(D) Many people are financially unable to afford regular medical checkups.

(E) Some physicians sometimes exercise exactly the right degree of thoroughness in performing a medical checkup.

2. Which one of the following, if true, would provide the most support for the conclusion in the passage?

(A) Not all medical tests entail significant discomfort.

(B) Sometimes unnecessary medical tests cause healthy people to become ill.

(C) Some patients refuse to accept a physician’s assurance that the patient is healthy.

(D) The more complete the series of tests performed in a medical checkup, the more likely it is that a rare disease, if present, will be discovered.

(E) Physicians can eliminate the need to order certain tests by carefully questioning patients and rejecting some possibilities on that basis.

第1题，E为什么不对呢，他们有的时候可以在体检中准确地判断，说明体检是明智的，经管它既不充分也不必要，但weaken原文结论了呀。A为什么对呢，这象是一句真理。再说他和结论中的体检没有联系，有可能医师一眼就看出来病情，不需要体检，加强了结论。

第2题，E为什么不对呢，“Physicians can eliminate the need to order certain tests ”，所以不用体检，加强了结论。答案是b, 但怎样排除e呢？

请多指教。

这两道题的混淆项确实易混

1。E也是WEAKEN，但语气没A那末强。E的问题在于SOME 和SOMETIMES，本来就是只有SOME，再加上SOMETIMES，你有运气能碰上这种机会吗。对于A。关键在对结论的理解，其实结论要表达的意思是：没觉得有病就别看医生。你想，有那个体检医生什麽都没问就开几个单让你去TEST——也许中国有——北美是没有，医生总要了解你的情况，做个初步检查，有必要再开个单子让你去TEST。A要表达的意思是要去看医生，医生在初步检查中会发现一些你没发现的病，而且也说不定不必作什麽TEST（北美的家庭医生对你的情况是了解的，和中国普遍没家庭医生不同，北美一般都有家庭医生）（另外，你的原文有个错误，是THOROUGH，不是THROUGH。A选项丢了让步分局：ALTHOUGH PATIENTS ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEM）所以AWEAKEN 不是SUPPORT结论

2。E要表达的意思是要看医生。是WEAKEN结论

谢谢楼上的，第1个明白了，我用的是elsat, 里面可能有些小错误。

第2隔我还有点不太明白。看医生和作体检是一回事吗，我的理解是医生认为有必要才让你去体检，e选项是eliminate the need to order certain tests ，所以Therefore, it is generally unwise for patients to have medical checkups when they do not feel ill. 既然医生可以通过其他方式判断病情，病人去体检当然是不明智的喽.

请指教

没去和医生联系前如何判断病情。北美体检的方式是先和医生MAKE APPOINTMENT，然后医生对你做个初步了解，再决定作什麽或做不做TEST。整个过程都叫做CHECKUP。而不是TEST才叫CHECKUP，TEST只是CHECKUP的一部分。E所说的只是是CHECKUP的一部分。
