错题逐题分析
Q28 填空题 正确 iv

Paragraph A 的标题

我的答案
ii (The development of market-based health systems)
正确答案
iv
原文

"Every health system in an economically developed society is faced with the need to decide... what proportion of the community's total resources should be spent on health-care; how resources are to be apportioned..."

  • 选项理解偏差:A 段全文在讲「资源如何分配」的问题,核心是"every health system"面临的共同挑战。你选了 ii(market-based health systems),但 A 段完全没提到 market
  • "apportioned"、"allocated"是分配的意思,不等于"市场化"。不要把"分配资源"等同于"市场体系"。
Q31 填空题 正确 v

Paragraph E 的标题

我的答案
iv (A problem shared by every economically developed country)
正确答案
v
原文

"The second set of more specific changes that have led to the present concern about the distribution of health-care resources stems from the dramatic rise in health costs in most OECD countries, accompanied by large-scale demographic and social changes..."

  • 标题匹配贪心:你把 iv 用在了 E 段,但 iv 的核心是"共同问题"——这更匹配 A 段(开篇定义问题)。E 段重点是"变化的影响"(costs 上升 + 人口变化 + 末日预测)。
  • 教训:标题匹配题要先做最确定的段落,把最佳选项锁定后,再分配剩余选项。A 段已经非常明确是 iv,E 段就不该抢。
Q34 填空题 正确 A

a belief that all the health-care resources the community needed would be produced by economic growth

我的答案
B (between 1950 and 1980)
正确答案
A
原文

"Looking back, it now seems quite incredible that in the national health systems that emerged in many countries in the years immediately after the 1939-45 World War, it was assumed without question that all the basic health needs of any community could be satisfied, at least in principle; the 'invisible hand' of economic progress would provide."

  • 时间定位粗糙:你看到这段内容在 B 段,而 B 段开头说"from the 1950s onwards",就直接选了 B。但这句话的时间修饰语是 "immediately after the 1939-45 World War",明确指向 1945-1950。
  • 教训:Classify 时间题不能看"段落在讨论哪个时期",要看每个具体事件自己的时间标记。同一段落可以提到不同时间段的事件。
Q35 填空题 正确 B

an acceptance of the role of the state in guaranteeing the provision of health-care

我的答案
A (between 1945 and 1950)
正确答案
B
原文

"Although the language of 'rights' sometimes leads to confusion, by the late 1970s it was recognized in most societies that people have a right to health-care... It is also accepted that this right generates an obligation or duty for the state to ensure that adequate health-care resources are provided out of the public purse."

  • 和 Q34 正好反了:你把 1945-50 的事件(经济增长信念)标成了 B,把 1970s 的事件(国家义务)标成了 A。完全搞反。
  • 根因:没有逐句找时间标记,而是凭"感觉"分配时间段。D 段讲国家责任,你可能觉得这是战后最早确立的,实际上 D 段明确写了"by the late 1970s"。
Q36 T/F/NG 正确 NO

Personal liberty and independence have never been regarded as directly linked to health-care.

我的答案
YES
正确答案
NO
原文

"People are not in a position to exercise personal liberty and to be self-determining if they are poverty-stricken, or deprived of basic education, or do not live within a context of law and order. In the same way, basic health-care is a condition of the exercise of autonomy."

"in a liberal society basic health is seen as one of the indispensable conditions for the exercise of personal autonomy."

  • 致命错误:忽略了题目中的 "never"。题目说的是"从来没有被认为直接相关"——但原文明确说健康是行使个人自由的必要条件(indispensable condition)。原文观点和题目直接矛盾→ 应选 NO
  • 你可能把题目理解成了"个人自由和健康有关吗?"→ YES。但题目问的是"从来没有被关联过吗?"→ 原文说了有关联 → 所以"never"是错的 → NO
  • 教训:Y/N/NG 题一定要注意否定词(never, no, not, hardly 等),它们会彻底翻转题意。
Q37 T/F/NG 正确 TRUE

Health-care came to be seen as a right at about the same time that the limits of health-care resources became evident.

我的答案
NO
正确答案
TRUE
原文

C 段开头:"However, at exactly the same time as this new realization of the finite character of health-care resources was sinking in, an awareness of a contrary kind was developing in Western societies: that people have a basic right to health-care..."

"Just at the time when it became obvious that health-care resources could not possibly meet the demands being made upon them, people were demanding that their fundamental right to health-care be satisfied by the state."

  • 原文两次明确说了"同时":C 段用 "at exactly the same time",E 段用 "just at the time"——比题目的 "at about the same time" 还要强烈。这是最典型的 YES。
  • 你选了 NO,可能是觉得"资源有限"和"健康权利"不是同时出现的——但原文白纸黑字写了 "at exactly the same time"。
  • 教训:当原文有 "at exactly the same time" 这种极其明确的时间对应关系,题目用 "at about the same time" 只是做了轻微弱化,本质是同义替换,直接选 YES。
Q38 T/F/NG 正确 TRUE

In OECD countries population changes have had an impact on health-care costs in recent years.

我的答案
NOT GIVEN
正确答案
TRUE
原文

"The second set of more specific changes... stems from the dramatic rise in health costs in most OECD countries, accompanied by large-scale demographic and social changes which have meant, to take one example, that elderly people are now major (and relatively very expensive) consumers of health-care resources."

  • 核心词汇不认识demographic = 人口的、人口统计学的。这是 538 考点词(第 3 类),你没认出来它就是 "population changes" 的同义替换。
  • 原文明确说了"大规模人口变化导致医疗成本上升",和题目完全吻合,应选 YES。
Q39 T/F/NG 正确 NOT GIVEN

OECD governments have consistently underestimated the level of health-care provision needed.

我的答案
YES
正确答案
NOT GIVEN
原文

B 段:"it was assumed without question that all the basic health needs of any community could be satisfied"
E 段:"health costs increased from 3.8% of GDP in 1960 to 7% of GDP in 1980..."
E 段:"a kind of doomsday scenario was projected by health administrators, economists and politicians"

  • 过度推理:原文确实提到了早期的乐观假设(以为资源够用)和后来成本飙升,但没有说"OECD 政府一直低估"
  • 关键词 consistently(一直、持续地)在原文中找不到对应。原文说的是早期有过错误假设,后来意识到了问题——这不等于"一直低估"。
  • underestimated 也是你的推理——原文说 "assumed without question that... could be satisfied",这是"假设够用",不完全等于"低估需求水平"。
  • 教训:题目中出现 consistentlyalwaysnever 这类绝对词时,原文必须有同等强度的表述才能选 YES。没有→倾向 NG。
