問題詳情：

Today we can do everything with apps: pay bills, order food and shop for anything. Mobile Technology means we can hold the world in our hands. However, when it comes to technology and health care, opportunities and challenges come together.

Let’s start with the ways to get health care. Telemedicine can allow a patient to use technology to see the doctor online and get a diagnosis (診斷) and instructions without leaving home.

In addition, there are many patient websites. These allow for different kinds of interactions about our health needs without involving the medical team. Setting a date with doctors and reading lab results are readily achieved by technology.

A whole new age of medical care seems likely (可能的) to come in the future. But every coin has two sides. What might be on the other side of techno-health care?

Firstly, we should think about the health care experience as a whole. A usual visit to a doctor begins with a receptionist (接待員) , who can see and tell how a patient is doing, This may influence the treatment effect. It’s unlikely that a patient website will have such intuition.

Next, sharing the details of one's life requires trust, which takes time to build. This is certainly true in health care, where some of life's best and worst moments involve doctors. The human touch should not be undervalued and is unlikely to be there over the smartphone.

Lastly, test results can be difficult to understand. When someone without a medical degree sees a flagged result with no explanation on the website, there's room for all kinds of stories to form in their minds—and also great worry.

So how does medicine adapt (適應) to the new technology age? Very talented companies are working on it e is medical equipment(設備) that can be used at home to send necessary signs and heart sounds through telemedicine . It seems likely that some companies will find a way to explain test results.

But what it will not achieve is the warmth of human interaction and touch. Patients often need someone to listen to —and care about—their journey story, which will never be realized through a human-less technology. Technology should be a tool, but depending on it totally will most certainly have unexpected effects. Let's not allow our humanity to be one of them.

A．It encourages doctors to voice their needs on the websites

D．Medical equipment collects patients’ stories.

33．The writer probably agrees that_____.

A．technology can deal with unexpected effects.

B．telemedicine can take the place of usual health care.

C．it is difficult for patients to adapt to the new technology age.

D．techno-health care should take humanity into consideration.

【分析】

本文講述了技術進步給健康醫療領域帶來的機遇和挑戰。

30．細節理解題。根據第二段“Telemedicine can allow a patient to use technology to see the doctor online and get a diagnosis (診斷) and instructions without leaving home. 遠程醫療可以讓病人不用離開家就可以使用技術在線看醫生並得到診斷和指導。”，可知它為病人提供了一種方便的診斷方法，故選B。

31．詞義猜測題。an ability to understand理解的能力；an interesting experience有趣的經歷；a chance to win獲勝的機會；a fair decision公平的決定。根據猜題所在句子中的such可知intuition指代的是上文中的“A usual visit to a doctor begins with a receptionist (接待員) , who can see and tell how a patient is doing, This may influence the treatment effect. 通常去看醫生的時候會有一個前台接待員，他可以看到並告訴病人情況，這可能會影響治療效果。”，可知猜題句是指“病人的網站不太可能有這樣的理解能力”,所以intuition應指“理解的能力”，故選A。

32．推理判斷題。根據第六段中“Next, sharing the details of one's life requires trust, which takes time to build. ”，可知分享生活細節需要信任，所以選項A是錯誤的；根據第八段中“Very talented companies are working on it”，可知有能力的公司正致力於解決這個問題，所以選項B是錯誤的；根據第七段中“When someone without a medical degree sees a flagged result with no explanation on the website, there's room for all kinds of stories to form in their minds—and also great worry. 當一個沒有醫學學位的人在網站上看到一個沒有任何解釋的標記結果時，就會有各種各樣的故事在他們腦海中形成，同時也會產生巨大的擔憂。”，可知標記的結果可能會引起患者的擔憂，所以選項C是正確的；根據第八段中“There is medical equipment(設備) that can be used at home to send necessary signs and heart sounds through telemedicine .”，可知有醫療設備可以在家裏通過遠程醫療發送必要的信號和心臟聲音，所以選項D是錯的。故選C。

33．推理判斷題。根據最後一段“Technology should be a tool, but depending on it totally will most certainly have unexpected effects.”，可知技術應該是一種工具，但完全依賴它肯定會產生意想不到的效果，所以選項A是錯誤的；選項B意為“遠程醫療可以取代通常的醫療保健。”，文章中沒有提及，所以排除；根據第八段中“So how does medicine adapt (適應) to the new technology age? Very talented companies are working on it那麼醫學如何適應新技術時代呢? 有能力的公司正致力於解決這個問題。”，可知選項C是錯誤的；根據最後一段“Technology should be a tool, but depending on it totally will most certainly have unexpected effects. Let's not allow our humanity to be one of them. 技術應該是一種工具，但完全依賴它肯定會產生意想不到的效果。讓我們的人*不用成為其中一個。”，可知選項D符合原文。故選D。
