11、er too fast in the doctors office and the queue of patients outside the door seems to be pressing rather too hard. Some say its high time for the model of short, sharp onetoone appointments to give way to shared medical appointments (SMAs共享医疗预约)SMAs are doctorpatient visits in which a group of patie
12、nts receive patient education and counseling (咨询), physical examination and medical support in a group setting. Typically SMAs are designed to have one or more doctors attend to a group of patients who share a common illness or medical condition. In contrast to onetoone visits, SMAs provide a longer
13、 appointment timeframe as well as the opportunity for patients to have improved access to their physicians and meanwhile pick up additional information and support from peers.However, doctors who have pioneered the shared appointment approach report that there are significant challenges involved. Dr
14、 Sumego, director of shared medical appointments, Cleveland Clinic,identifies culture change as the most significant challenge. Physicians and nurses are trained in a model of personal service and privacy; the SMA approach is a fundamental challenge to those fixed ideas. They need shared goals and a
15、 way of testing the innovation against agreed standards. Dr Sumego says, “The physicians may be worried about the possible chaos and efficiencies that are marketed. They also have to make the patients understand what their appointment is, and what the expectation is.”“So, if an organization was look

18、二段第三句可知,SMAs模式为患者提供了更长的预约时间,也为患者提供了更好地与医生接触的机会,同时还能从同行那里获得额外的信息和支持。这说明SAMs的出现是为患者提供更好的医疗服务。故选A。5According to Dr Sumego, what prevents the SMA approach from being widely adopted?APersonal service.BFixed ideas.CLack of equipment.DShared goals.答案:B推理判断题。根据第三段可知Dr Sumego认为,文化转变是最大的挑战。医生和护士接受的是针对个人服务和隐私的
19、培训;SMAs方法是对这些固定想法的根本挑战。也就是说,改变这些固定的想法是一种挑战,所以这些固定的想法会阻碍SMAs模式的推广,故选B。6What can the underlined “buyin” in Paragraph 4 be replaced by?APractice.BOrganization.CPurchase.DSupport.答案:A词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的第一句可知,如果一个组织要寻求共享医疗模式的话,Dr Sumego建议他们从一些优秀的医师开始,根据语境,buyin应等同于practice “实践;练习”,故选A。7What can be learned abo
20、ut the SMA approach in the last paragraph?AIt is currently being questioned.BIt is impractical in some areas.CIt will enjoy wide popularity soon.DIt should be carried out step by step.答案:D推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,如果一个组织要开始SMAs,Dr Sumego建议他们从一些优秀的医师开始,开发一些流程,积累一些经验。制定一些标准,随着概念的推广,他们可以共享医疗预约,这说明SMAs的实施需要一步一步来,不
