Question

The cost of medical care in the United States is very high. The time and money that doctors spend on their medical education is probably one reason for this problem.
A visit to a doctor’s office costs from 15 to 50 dollars. It’s so expensive. Many people in the United States think that doctors are overpaid. However, most doctors disagree. They say that they were asked to study medicine for a long time. Tuition for many years of medical education costs a lot of money. Doctors say that it is necessary for most medical students to borrow money from the bank to pay their tuition. Because their money must be repaid to the bank, young doctors need to receive a lot of money for their work. So they charge(收费)people high prices for medical care.
Therefore the cost of medical care in America is high. Because high tuition is one cause of high costs, one way to lower costs would be to have medical school that are free or have low tuition.

Answer 1

【小题1】C
【小题2】D
【小题3】B

解析【小题1】本文第二段有两句They say that they were asked to study medicine for a long time. Tuition for many years of medical education costs a lot of money.所表示的含义为医生许多年的医学教育需要花费很多钱，也就是学费需要很多钱，所以tuition所表示的含义为教育所花费的钱，故本题选C。
【小题2】本文第三段第一句为Therefore the cost of medical care in America is high. Because high tuition is one cause of high costs,所表示的含义为美国医疗护理的价格很高是因为其中有个原因就是学习学习医药学教育成本之高，故本题选D。
【小题3】本文第一段就提出了美国医药费用之高是一个问题并且寻求建议，故本题选B。
