27、e Applications of Internet Service【答案与解析】5A细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，高级医院被鼓励可以在线提供的服务包括在线会诊，预约挂号和检查结果查询，并没有提到医疗手术。所以选项A正确。6C细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知，随着中国进入中等收入国家行列，中国人民对健康服务的需求也随之增加。也就是说中国人民的生活水平提高，是健康服务需求增加的原因。所以答案选C。7B推理判断题。由第三段第二句可知，公共卫生服务一直是公众关注的焦点。由第五段可知，近年来医疗费用已成为家庭的沉重负担，高端医疗资源无法满足公众日益增长的需求。所以目前医疗资源不足等问题日益严重和
28、紧迫，所以中国政府必须抓紧时间采取措施解决问题。所以答案选B。8B主旨大意题。由文章开头及全文内容可知，文章主要讲了中国政府推行网上医疗服务的消息。所以选项B符合文章大意。C(湖南省湘潭市2018届高三下学期第三次模拟考试)Sometimes we experience pain that seems just too big to feel, too frightening to faceit looks like a tsunami.So, we run.My tsunami came when I was nine years old.I was woken up by my mothe

61、的”。4Aa laid table指摆放好的桌子。5D根据常识可知，请朋友吃饭准备的是最好的(best)东西。6D句意为：我们都坐下来紧张地互相看着对方。nervously“紧张地”。7B句意为：他打算做什么？plan to do sth.“打算做某事”。8B根据后面的carrots，potatoes and tomatoes和“Its just_10_mixture”可知此处是mixture。9C朋友请人吃饭，所以此处指下一道菜。course意为“课程；一道菜”。10B前面提到了一道菜，此处指另一道菜，用another。11B由上下文可知，此处指“谈论的话题”。12B由语境可知，这里指配制食
62、谱。make up意为“弥补；配制”。13A句意为：我所做的饭依靠我能找到的东西。depend on“依靠”；refer to“提到；涉及”；result from“由引起”；lie in“在于”。14B前文提到了你可以在超市里买到任何东西。由but可知在超市外的选择较少。15C根据前文提到“But you can find anything in supermarkets these days.”可推知是在超市外。16A由下句“Ben decided to tell the truth”可知，Ben要告诉我们真相，可推知此处是看到我们吃完了饭。17A由文章最后一句中thrown away可知
63、答案。throw away“扔掉；浪费掉”。18C此处指刚过期的食品。out of date“过期的；过时的”。19B由上文可知Ben成功地(successfully)给我们提供了不错的一顿饭。20A浪费的食物的数量能够养活数百万的人。feed意为“养活”。.语法填空Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel，the worlds first igloo(冰屋) hotel.1_(build) in a small town，it has been attracting lots of visitors，
