Part B

Directions: In the following article, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 41—45, choose the most suitable one from the list A—G to fit into each of the numbered blank. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the gaps. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET I. ( 10 points)

41)____________Many of the options have already been rehearsed in the press: excluding some treatments from the NHS, charging for certain drugs and services, and developing voluntary or compulsory health insurance schemes.

42)____________We spend about 7 per cent of GDP on health, compared with 9 per cent in the Netherlands and 10 per cent in France and Germany. In terms of health outcomes versus spend, we compare pretty favourably.

I don' t see private health care providing much of the solution to current problems. 43)____________Neither is close to being implemented, but the future could see a deliberate shift of attention to voluntary health insurance and an emphasis on social insurance.

44)____________Even so, higher taxes will plainly be needed to fund health care. I think we'll eventually see larger NHS charges, more rationing of medical services and restrictions on certain procedures without proven outcomes. Stricter eligibility criteria for certain treatments are another possibility.

45)____________.None of them is going to win votes for the political party desperate enough to introduce them—but then nobody is going to vote for ill—health or an early death either.

[A] English National Health Service is a universal health keeping system. But Now, the shortage of money becomes a serious problem.

[B] All such options would mean a sharp break with tradition and political fall out that could be extremely damaging.

[C] The options provides solution to the shortage of money problem.

[D] I expect individuals to take greater responsibility for their personal health using technology that allows self diag-nosis followed by serf- treatment or home care.

[E] Looking at how far we' 11 be able to fund the Health Service in the 21st century raises any number of thorny is- sues.

[F] More likely is a shift from universal health coverage to top up schemes which give people basic health entitlements but require them to finance other treatment through private financing, or opt out schemes which use tax relief to encourage individuals to make private provision.

[G] Compared to its European Union counterparts Britain. operates a low cost health system.

答案：E
[详细解答]第一段可译为“看一看21世纪我们能为国民保健服务提供多少资金，会发现一大堆棘手问题。许多解决办法已经在报纸上讨论过多次，例如把一些治疗项目从国民保健服务中剔除出去，对某些药物和服务实行收费，建立自愿或强制性医疗保险制度等等。”选项A虽然说的是最根本上的问题，却只是干扰事项。

第3题：

_______________

[A] Quebec’s resistance to a national agency is provincialist ideology. One of the first advocates for a national list was a researcher at Laval University. Quebec’s Drug Insurance Fund has seen its costs skyrocket with annual increases from 14.3 per cent to 26.8 per cent!

[B] Or they could read Mr. Kirby’s report: “the substantial buying power of such an agency would strengthen the public prescription-drug insurance plans to negotiate the lowest possible purchase prices from drug companies.”

[C] What does “national” mean? Roy Romanow and Senator Michael Kirby recommended a federal-provincial body much like the recently created National Health Council.

[D] The problem is simple and stark: health-care costs have been, are, and will continue to increase faster than government revenues.

[E] According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, prescription drug costs have risen since 1997 at twice the rate of overall health-care spending. Part of the increase comes from drugs being used to replace other kinds of treatments. Part of it arises from new drugs costing more than older kinds. Part of it is higher prices.

[F] So, if the provinces want to run the health-care show, they should prove they can run it, starting with an interprovincial health list that would end duplication, save administrative costs, prevent one province from being played off against another, and bargain for better drug prices.

[G] Of course the pharmaceutical companies will scream. They like divided buyers; they can lobby better that way. They can use the threat of removing jobs from one province to another. They can hope that, if one province includes a drug on its list, the pressure will cause others to include it on theirs. They wouldn’t like a national agency, but self-interest would lead them to deal with it.

正确答案：C

第4题：

Text 2 As lawmakers fight over what conditions insurance companies should be required to cover,other areas of health-care reform remain painfully neglected.One major example:How much should insurance companies pay for what they cover?Consumers rarely care about health-care prices beyond what they personally pay for deductibles,co-payments and prescription drugs.But insurance payments are crucial to understanding why health-care prices have gotten so out of control in the United States.A new study published in JAMA Internal Medicine makes this abundantly clear:Hospital emergency departments across the country are prone to excessively overcharge patients with private insurance,the study found,demanding that patients pay-on average-more than four times what Medicare pays for typical emergency procedures.This is not the heritage of sound medicine.This is the outcome of an extremely complicated and disjointed health-care system-and it's not necessarily the result of greedy hospitals trying to milk large profits out of vulnerable populations.Instead,it's the result of messy provider networks-rife with discounts and confusing contracts,designed by insurance companies and providers to attract customers.There are policy solutions to correct this system.Maryland,for example,has long operated under an"all-payer system"in which everyone pays the same rate for the same treatment-set by an independent state agency.Under this system,Medicare pays higher rates for care than in other states,but in the long run,it saves money-to the tune of$319 million-because the payment system incentivizes hospitals to reduce the number of people they admit.In other words,it encourages payment for quality of care,not quantity.Health-care providers have an incentive to work more closely with nursing facilities to deliver preventive care.Physicians also work more closely with patients to reduce preventable complications and hospital readmissions,which have dropped in Maryland faster than the national average in recent years.This innovative approach to solving price disparities in health-care costs is refreshing,although what works in Maryland might not work everywhere else.But other states have also passed laws to reduce price variation in health care,particularly for uninsured and low-income patients who would be most harmed by surprise medical bills.Unfortunately,reform efforts led by Republicans in Congress will likely worry the health-care industry enough to threaten state-led initiatives.Uncertainty-especially in terms of what our insurance markets will look like a year from now-makes it difficult,if not impossible,for states to experiment with different policies.That's a shame,because that's where the exciting and innovative reforms are happening.
The wide variation in health-care prices is mainly caused by_____

A.the vulnerable populations
B.the greedy hospitals
C.differences in treatment preferences
D.the disorganized provider networks

答案：D

解析：

[信息锁定]第三段首先指出．这（This．指上一段提到的医院对私人保险患者收费高于联邦医疗保险患者，即医疗保健费用存在巨大差异）不是健全的医疗系统的遗产．而是极其复杂混乱的医疗保健系统的结果；继而指出这种混乱的系统并非贪婪的医院导致，而是混乱的医疗服务供应商网络的结果。由此可知，医疗保健费用的巨大差异根源于混乱的医疗服务供应商．D.正确。[解题技巧]A.、B.均源自第三段②句．其中A.由文意“这种医疗费用差异并非因贪婪医院从弱势群体身上榨取高额利润而致”曲解出“弱势群体（由于无力承担高昂费用而选择低廉费用）造成这种医疗费用的差异”，B.直接反向干扰；C.利用第二段末句!ypical emergency procedures（典型急诊手术）及常识“因治疗方式不同而医疗费用不同”没置干扰，而文中并未谈及治疗偏好问题。

Health Care in the US

Health care in the US is well-known but very expensive.Paying the doctor's bill after a
major illness or accident can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In the US,a person's company,not the government,pays for health insurance.
Employers have contracts with insurance companies,which pay for all or part of employees'
doctors' bills.
The amount that the insurance company will pay out to a patient differs wildly. It all depends
on what insurance the employer pays.The less the boss pays to the insurance company,the
more the employee has to pay the hospital each time he or she gets sick. In 2004,the average
worker paid an extra US$558 a year,according to a San Francisco report.
The system also means many Americans fall through the cracks（遭遗漏）.In 2004,
only 61 percent of the population received health insurance through their employers,
according to the report. The unemployed,self-employed,part-time workers and graduated
students with no jobs were not included,
Most US university students have a gap between their last day of school and their first
day on the job.Often,they are no longer protected by their parents' insurance because they
are now considered independent adults.They also cannot buy university health insurance because they
are no longer students.
Another group that falls through the gap of the US system is international students.All
are required to have health insurance and cannot begin their classes without it,But exact
policies（保险单）differ from school to school.
Most universities work with health insurance companies and sell their own standard plan
for students.Often,buying the school plan is required,but luckily it's also cheaper than
buying direct from the insurance company.

The health care system in the US takes care of everyone in the country.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

答案：B

Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A.Uncertainty in the Health-Care Industry
B."All-Payer System"in Maryland
C.The Health-Care Reform Ignored
D.Medicare vs.Private Insurance

答案：C

解析：

[信息锁定]文章首两段首先借列举立法议员们所忽略的医保改革领域实例引出全文话题“保险给付推高医疗费用，医疗费用因保险不同而价差很大”，第三段顺而补充这个被忽略领域问题产生的体制原因“医疗保健系统复杂而又混乱、医疗服务人员体系杂乱无章”，末三段介绍该问题应对措施“马里兰州统一支付方模式、其他州也纷纷立法减少医疗赞用价差”并做出点评”令人激动且极具创新性，却可能因当前共和党人医保改革取向而前路没漫、困难重重”。由此可见，全文都围绕着当前立法议员们所忽略的某一个医保改革领域（即．保险给付推高医疗费用，医疗拙用因保险不同而差异较大）展开，故C.正确。[解题技巧]A.源自第六段②句“不稳定性使得当前各州对于医疗费用差异问题的改革措施更加难以推行”，而该句意在说明“医疗费用差异问题的解决难度”而非“医疗保健行业的不稳定性”；B.利用第四五段中马里兰州的例子干扰，但这只是举例说明修正文中所探讨的问题的一种政策办法，无力概括全文；D.利用第二段提到的私人保险和联邦医疗保险的付费对比干扰，但此处的对比是为了说明“保险给付与医疗费用有关”．意在引出文章话题，并非全文重心。

We can learn that"all-payer system"in Maryland_____

A.can be applied across the country
B.is harmful to Medicare patients
C.benefits uninsured and low-income patients
D.shifts doctors'attention from treatment to prevention

答案：C

解析：

[信息锁定]根据题干关键词定位至第四五段。其中笫四段②句指出：马里兰州实施“相同治疗．相同费用”的统一收费模式；第五段②句指出：其他各州也在通过相关立法来减少医疗费用差异，尤其是针对那些因意外医疗账单而深受伤害的未投保患肴及低收入患者。由此可知，马里兰州统一支付方模式也有助于未投保患者及低收入患者.C.正确。[解题技巧]A.与第五段首句“这种模式虽令人耳目一新．但不一定适用于其他地方”相悖。B.源自第四段③句前半句“这种模式下联邦医疗保险所付费用高于其他各州”．但与后半句转折指出“但从长远看，这种方式可以省饯”及④句“重视治疗质量而非数量”的相悖。D.将第四段⑤⑥句暗藏文意“这一模式鼓励医生更注意预防”|iI1解为“这一模式使医生将注意力由治病转移到预防上”。
