英語四級閱讀模擬題：【原文】

　　For doctors in training, nurses and medical journalists, hypochondria is an occupational danger. The feeling usually passes after a while, leaving only a funny story to tell at a dinner party. But for the tens ofthousands who suffer from true hypochondria they live in constant terror that they are dying of some awfuldisease, or even several awful diseases at once. Doctors can assure them that there’s nothing wrong, but since the cough is real, the assurances fall on deaf ears. And because no physician or test can offer a 100% guarantee that one doesn’t have cancer, a hypochondriac always has fuel to feed Iris .or her worst fears.

　　Hypochondriacs don’t harm just themselves; they block the whole healthcare system. Although they account for only about 6% of the patients who visit doctors every year, they tend to burden their physicians with frequent visits that take up excessive amounts of time. And the problem may be worse, thanks to the popularity of medical information on the Internet. They go on the Web and learn about new diseases and new presentations of old diseases that they never even knew about before. Doctors have taken to calling this phenomenon cyberchondria (網(wǎng)絡(luò)疑病癥).

　　1.[B] 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。仔細(xì)讀完第2段后半部分,不難發(fā)現(xiàn)hypochondria只是瞎猜疑，故選項(xiàng)B正確。時(shí)常懷疑自己生病是醫(yī)務(wù)人員的職業(yè)病，但為此困擾的并不僅僅是他們，因?yàn)榈?段第3句說：“But... who suffer from true hypochondria...”，說明醫(yī)務(wù)人員不是真正的疑病癥患者,故選項(xiàng)A不正確。選項(xiàng)C過于極端。選項(xiàng)D是對原文斷章取義。

　　2.[D] 主旨大意題。第1段以舉例方式引入主題，第2段對hypochondria下定義，第3段則論述其對醫(yī)療保健體系造成的干擾，選項(xiàng)D正確全面地概括了文章大意，為正確答案。全文的中心詞是hypochondria,在四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，干擾項(xiàng)(選項(xiàng)A、B、C)都出現(xiàn)了該詞，只有正確選項(xiàng)(選項(xiàng)D)沒有直接使用該詞。

　　3.[D] 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文中的“because no physician or test can offer a 100% guarantee that one doesn’t have cancer...”即可得出選項(xiàng)D正確。原文雖有表示“咳嗽確實(shí)存在”，但這并不意味著醫(yī)生不能治好類似的小毛病，因此選項(xiàng)A不正確。誤選C是沒有正確理解短語fall on deaf ears,該固定表達(dá)的意思是“充耳不聞”。

　　4.[B] 推理判斷題。句中thanks to是諷刺的用法，引出原因，故選項(xiàng)B正確。本題考查因果關(guān)系，要辨別明顯的因果關(guān)系，只要關(guān)注文中是否有because, reason, due to, thanks to, result等詞即可。

　　5.[C] 觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。從作者對hypochondria的描述可以看出此病只是源于多疑，并非生理上的不治之癥，因此只要病人們放寬心，此病就能痊愈。故選項(xiàng)C正確。選項(xiàng)A的incurable和B的disastrous都太絕對，比較容易排除。而本文基調(diào)較為客觀，作者沒有表露個(gè)人情感，故選項(xiàng)D也不正確。
