44、other. After meeting with patients, doctors typically jot 2 notes on a range of topics, from musings about possible diagnoses to observations about 3 a patient is getting along with a spouse. The notes are used to justify the bill, and may be audited. But the main idea is to have a written record 4

45、insights into the patients condition for the next visit or for other doctors to see. A study currently under way, 5 the Open Notes project, is looking at what happens 6 doctors-notes become available for a patient to read, usually 7 electronic medical records. In a report on the early stages of the

46、study, published Tuesday in the Annals of Internal Medicine, researchers say that inviting patients to review the 8 can improve patients understanding of their own health and get them to stick to their treatment regimens 9 closely. But researchers also point to possible downsides: Patients may panic

47、 if their doctor speculates 10 writing about cancer or heart disease, leading to a flood of follow-up calls and emails. And doctors say they worry that some medical terms can be taken the 11 way by patients. For instance, 12 phrase the patient appears SOB 13 to shortness of breath, not a derogatory

48、designation. And OD is short for oculus deter, or right eye, 14 for overdose. Medical providers have been stepping up efforts to improve doctor-patient communication, in part 15 studies show it can result in better patient outcomes. The introduction of electronic medical records in recent years has

49、helped to achieve that. 1.答案:them解析 这句话表达的意思是“有些医生正在采取一种不同寻常的新方法以达到与患者更好沟通的目的。他们会让患者读医生们通常只与同事分享的笔记。”这里缺少宾语，应用“them”指代前面提及的“patients”。参考译文 有些医生正在采取一种不同寻常的新方法以达到与患者更好沟通的目的。他们会让患者读医生们通常只与同事分享的笔记。 当患者检查完身体，医生会在笔记上记录下一个主题范围，其范围涵盖从大致的诊断到观察患者与配偶如何相处。笔记被用来证实那些想法，也可能会被审核。但记笔记的主要目的还是为患者复诊或者是为其他给他们看病的医生提供方便。

50、最近，一个被称为Open Notes的项目一直在观察当患者看医生记录的笔记(通常是在电子病历上的记录中)时会发生什么。在研究早期阶段的一个报告(于星期二刊登在内科医学年鉴上)中，研究人员表示，邀请病人审查记录可以更进一步提高他们对自己键康状况的了解，让他们严格按照要求坚持治疗。 但同时，研究人员也提出了可能出现的负面影响：如果医生写下类似癌症或者是心脏病的字眼，他们的病人会产生恐惧，进而带来如洪水般涌来的电话和电子邮件。医生们也表示，他们担心病人会误解一些专业术语。例如，“病人出现了SOB”是指气短，而是不代表贬义的意思。“OD”是oculus clexter(右眼)的缩写形式，即指右眼，而不

51、代表药剂过量。 医疗机构已努力改善医患沟通，一部分原因是因为有研究表明，它可能会有利于提高患者治疗效果。近年来，电子病历的引入也为实现这个目标做出了贡献。 2.答案:down解析 “jot down”为固定搭配，意为“记下，写下”。3.答案:how解析 这句话的意思是“当患者检查完身体，医生会在笔记上记录下一个主题范围，其范围涵盖从大致的诊断到与配偶如何相处。”根据句意，可知该空应填一个表示程度的副词“how”。4.答案:with解析 “a written record with insights into the patients condition”意思是“一份可以洞察病人病情的手写记录”

52、，“with”在这里表示具有某种特性。5.答案:called解析 “called”意为“被称作”，这句话句意为“最近，一个被称为Open Notes的项目致力于发现。当患者在看医生记录的笔记(通常笔记是在电子病历上)时会发生什么。”6.答案:when解析 “when”在这里作时间状语，“当时候”。7.答案:on解析 这句话的意思为“在电子病历上的记录中”，根据后面的records可知，此处应用介词“on”。on record意为“有记载的，记录在案的”。8.答案:records解析 这句话意思为“研究人员表示，邀请病人审查记录可以提高他们对自己健康状况的理解，让他们严格按照要求坚持治疗。”根据

53、句意，可知该空应为文中前一句提到的“records”。9.答案:more解析 “more closely”意为“更进一步地”。这句话意思为“邀请病人审查记录可以更进一步提高他们对自己健康状况的理解，让他们严格按照要求坚持治疗”。10.答案:in解析 “speculate in”为固定搭配，意为“推测”。11.答案:wrong解析 这句话的意思为“医生们也表示，他们担心病人会误解一些专业术语”，病人误解了专业术语，即以一种“错误”的方式理解。12.答案:the解析 “the”在这里是特指，“the phrase”即指代后面的“the patient appears SOB”。13.答案:refe

54、rs解析 “refer to”为固定搭配，意为“涉及，提及”。这里的时态应该是一般现在时，主语是the phrase，故要用refer的第三人称单数。14.答案:not解析 这句话意思为“OD是oculus dexter(右眼)的缩写形式，即指右眼，而不代表药剂过量。”由此可知，该空填not。15.答案:because解析 这句话意思为“医疗机构已努力改善医患沟通，一部分原因是因为有研究表明，它可能会有利于提高患者治疗效果。”根据因果关系，可推测出填“because”。Part BDirections: Read the following three texts. Answer the qu

55、estions below each text by choosing: A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. Text 1 Given the fact that each person is only one of approximately 90 million voters in this country, does it make sense to believe that one persons participation, one vote, will have any impact on a major ele

56、ction?
