题目解答

答案

D. controlling the health system effectively

解析

本题考查对文章内容的理解以及推理判断能力。解题的关键在于理解文章中指出的美国医疗问题的根源，然后据此分析各个选项是否能解决该问题。

  1. 分析文章内容：文章提到“Most people would be impressed by the high - quality of medicine available to most Americans”，说明美国医疗有很多优势，如专业化程度高、关注个体、有大量先进设备等。但接着指出“But the Americans are in a mess. The problem is the way in which health care is organized and financed”，明确了美国医疗存在问题，根源在于医疗保健的组织和资金筹集方式。
  2. 分析选项A：“charging the patients as little as possible”（尽可能少地向病人收费），文章中并没有提及收费高低与解决医疗问题之间的关系，所以该选项无法解决美国医疗组织和资金筹集方式带来的问题，故A选项错误。
  3. 分析选项B：“limiting the number of doctors”（限制医生数量），文章没有表明医生数量是导致美国医疗问题的原因，所以限制医生数量不能解决医疗保健的组织和资金筹集方式的问题，故B选项错误。
  4. 分析选项C：“making full use of the insurance company”（充分利用保险公司），文章未提及保险公司在解决美国医疗问题中的作用，所以该选项不能解决当前医疗组织和资金筹集方式的问题，故C选项错误。
  5. 分析选项D：“controlling the health system effectively”（有效控制医疗体系），由于美国医疗问题的根源是医疗保健的组织和资金筹集方式，那么有效控制医疗体系可以对其组织和资金筹集方式进行调整和优化，从而有可能解决医疗问题，故D选项正确。
