医学博士外语（阅读理解）模拟试卷8
阅读理解
A decade ago, most patients were informed over the phone or in person by the doctors. But in the past few years, hospitals and medical practices have urged patients to sign up for portals, which allow them rapid, round-the-clock access to their records. Lab tests are now released directly to patients.
The push for portals has been fueled by several factors: the widespread embrace of technology, incentive payments to medical practices and hospitals that were part of 2009 federal legislation to encourage \\
1.What is the trend mentioned at the beginning of the passage?(D)
A. More lab tests are ordered through portals.
B. More hospitals provide rapid, round-the-clock services.
C. More medical consultations are conducted over the phone.
D. More patients are encouraged to use portals for their medical information.
解析：细节题。第一段中是对照的行文结构：A decade ago…But in the past few years…，题干问的是trend(趋势)，因此可判断but后为正确答案：病人们被鼓励在门户网站上注册，以便随时获得records，故本题正确答案为D。
2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a contributing factor for the increasing use of portals?(B)
A. Popular acceptance of technology.
B. Lower payments for the patients to obtain their results.
C. Financial benefits for hospital use of electronic records.
D. Legal requirement to provide patients with direct access to their results.
解析：细节题。第二段讲到门户网站加速发展的原因：技术的广泛应用，医院因使用电子病历而获得奖励、病人可直接获取检测结果的规定，只有B选项与原文背道而驰。
3.What concerns the author in respect to the increasing use of portals?(C)
A. Unsafe access to patients’ personal information.
B. Inadequate guidance for the patients to use portals.
C. Improper delivery of the medical results to the patients.
D. Different contents provided to the patients by different systems.
解析：细节题。作者在第三段提出了疑问：门户网站是否兑现了让患者参与的承诺?或者这些结果是否过于频繁地使患者感到困惑和恐慌，并导致医生需要做更多工作，因为信息的提供没有足够的指导，有时甚至没有任何指导。C选项是最佳改写：医疗结果在传达给病人的时候没有得到正确充分的指导，即传达方式值得商榷。B选项是混淆项：作者质疑的是对提供medical records的方式，而非使用portals的指导，不正确。
4.Which of the following statements is true about Dr. Treadway’s husband?(C)
A. He was depressed by the diagnosis of his disease.
B. He was screened for a highly aggressive and fatal cancer.
C. He was mismatched with the electronic records of his MRI scan.
D. He was informed of the results of his MRI scan via hospital portals.
解析：细节题。Dr. Treadway的丈夫因为胳膊疼痛在医院做MRI，她在丈夫的允许下，直接从医院电脑里获取了影像，结果显示她丈夫有巨大的肿瘤和转移性疾病，后来经过确认姓名和出生日期，发现该影像属于另一名患者(wrong patient)。在Treadway查看结果这个过程中，她的丈夫不知道自己的诊断结果，也并非是因为被确诊患癌后去做的扫描，而是医院搞错了病人和结果。故C选项是正确答案。
5.The author cites Katharine Treadway’s experience to________.(B)
A. explain the hidden risk of portals being illegally accessed
B. exemplify the potential risk of misinforming patients through portals
C. illustrate the progress in the way information is delivered to the patients
D. show the advantages of portals over phone in releasing patients’ information
解析：推理题。Dr．Treadway的经历正好印证了作者的担心：患者在没有得到正确指导的情况下直接获取医疗记录和检测结果所带来的潜在风险和令人不安的后果。A选项说违法使用门户网站的潜在风险，而文中作者并未谈及对门户网站使用的技术问题，该项是混淆项；C选项谈论信息传达方式的技术进步，与原文背道而驰；D选项说电话通知信息的优势，属于过度推理。B选项意为“举例说明通过门户网站向患者提供错误信息的潜在风险”，为正确答案。
In planning for the health needs of these immigrant families, Francesca Weissman, a healthcare practitioner, asked two questions: (1) \\
6.The passage begins by implying that immigrant families
