Question

A new survey finds that more than eighty percent of Internet users in the United States search for health information online. The survey found that searching online is one of the leading ways that people look for a second opinion though doctors are still the main source of health information.
Forty-four percent of people are actually looking for doctors or other providers when they search for health information online. Another finding of the survey: Two-thirds of Internet users look online for information about a specific disease or medical condition.
The Internet has also become an important source of emotional support for people with health problems. Susannah Fox says one in five Internet users has gone online to find other people who have the same condition. It was more popular among people with more serious health issues—one in four people living with chronic diseases (慢性病). And it was basically off the charts with people living with rare disease. They are so eager to find other people online who share their health concerns.
A disease is considered rare if it affects fewer than two hundred thousand people worldwide. The rise of social networking has made it easier for people with rare diseases to connect with each other and feel less alone. Social networking is also changing the way some doctors and patients communicate with each other. Dr. Jeff Livingston operates a medical center for women in Irving, Texas. His office uses password-protected software to share information with patients.
“We provide the patient full access to their medical care. Anything I can see, the patient can see. All of their notes, all of their doctor visits are right there. All of their lab work is right there.” Dr. Livingston says the software has increased efficiency, reduced costs and improved relations with patients

試題分析:
1.這是細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一自然段A new survey finds that more than eighty percent of Internet users in the United States search for health information online. The survey found that searching online is one of the leading ways that people look for a second opinion though doctors are still the main source of health information.
醫(yī)生仍然健康咨詢的首選，但是有很多人在網(wǎng)上搜尋信息，故正確答案為B。
2.這是詞義猜測題。根據(jù)It was more popular among people with more serious health issues—one in four people living with chronic diseases (慢性病). And it was basically off the charts with people living with rare disease.在網(wǎng)上搜尋健康信息在4分之一慢性病人中受歡迎，后面有And可以判斷前后兩句是順承關系，應該說的是同一話題，在網(wǎng)上搜尋健康信息在得怪病人的中間也受歡迎，故正確答案為A。溫馨提醒：not accessible不可訪問的；far away from遠離；not attractive不吸引人的，該題既考查了這幾個短語的意義同時又考查了學生的對上下文理解與推測的能力
3.這是細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The Internet has also become an important source of emotional support for people with health problems.和 The rise of social networking has made it easier for people with rare diseases to connect with each other and feel less alone.可知在網(wǎng)上搜尋健康信息給得怪病人的一精神安慰，故正確答案為B。
4.這是細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Dr. Livingston says the software has increased efficiency, reduced costs and improved relations with patients.
可知在網(wǎng)上搜尋健康信息可以省時、減少費用、能夠拉近與醫(yī)生之間的距離。只有D項在本文中沒有出現(xiàn)，故選D。
考點：這是一篇研究社會調(diào)查類的文章。
點評：文章通過多次調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，現(xiàn)在人們喜歡在網(wǎng)上查找有關醫(yī)學知識，在網(wǎng)上咨詢自己的病情，以便對病情有更好的治療。做閱讀題一定要緊扣短文的意思，不要憑借自己的主觀臆斷做題。細節(jié)理解題都能在原文中找到答案。
