Should doctors ever lie to benefit their patient—to speed recovery or to cover the coming of death？In medicine as in law，government，and other lines of work，the requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed (变矮小)by greater needs：the need to protect form brutal news or to uphold a promise of secrecy；to advance the public interest.
What should doctors say，for example，to a 46yearold man coming in for a routine physical checkup just before going on vacation with his family who，though he feels in perfect health，is found to have a form of cancer that will cause him to die within six months？Is it best to tell him the truth？If he asks，should the doctors reject that he is ill，or minimize the gravity of the illness？Should they at least hide the truth until after the family vacation?
Doctors face such choices often.At times，they see important reasons to lie for the patient's own sake；in their eyes，such lies sharply form selfserving ones.Studies show that most doctors sincerely believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition，and that informing them risks destroying their hope，so that they may recover more slowly，or deteriorate (恶化)faster，perhaps even commit suicide (自杀)．
But other studies show that，contrary to the belief of many physicians；a great majority of patients do want to be told the truth，even about serious illness，and feel cheated when they learn that they have been misled.We are also learning that truthful information，humanely conveyed (传达)，helps patients cope with illness：help them tolerate pain better，need less medicine，and even recover faster after surgery.
There is urgent need to debate this issue openly.Not only in medicine，but in other profession as well，practitioners may find themselves repeatedly in difficulty where serious consequences (后果)seem avoidable only through deception(哄骗)．Yet the public has every reason to know professional deception，for such practices are peculiarly likely to become deeply rooted，to spread，and to trust.Neither in medicine，nor in law，government，or the social sciences can there be comfort in the old saying，“What you don't know can't hurt you.”
1．According to the author's opinion，lies ________.
A．can benefit the patients
B．can help the patients to recovery
C．can do nothing to the patients' illness
D．can not benefit the patients
答案：A 细节理解题。从文章倒数其次段最终几句可得知答案。
2．Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．Most of the doctors believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition.
B．The truthful information helps patients to deal with their illness.
C．There is a need to discuss whether to lie to the patients.
D．It is true that“What you don't know can't hurt you.”
答案：D 细节理解题。文章最终，作者认为“What you don't know can't hurt you.”这一说法不对。
3．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．There is an urgent need to debate this issue openly.
B．Neither in medicine，nor in law，government，the social sciences can there be comfort in the old saying.“What you don't know can't hurt you.”
C．The public has every reason to be aware of professional deception.
D．We need to discuss this issue in medicine，but not in other professions.
答案：A 主旨归纳题。第一句就是本段的主题句。
4．What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?
A．Deception is beneficial to patients.
B．Whether patients should be told the truth of their illness.
C．Whether patients really want to know the truth of their illness.
D．Who benefits from deception.
答案：B 主旨归纳题。通读全文可知，作者针对医生对病人隐瞒病情这一做法提出质疑：病人应不应当了解真相？了解真相对他们有没有好处？
阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
Once upon a time, on his way to the Himalayas, was a saint(圣徒). He came across a shallow river he had to cross. Just when he was about to wet his feet, he saw a scorpion(蝎子)helplessly trying to come out of the river. It was almost touching the bank but not enough to gain hold of the ground. The saint saw scorpion’s struggle and decided to save it.
He picked up the scorpion in his right hand with the intention to place it on the dry surface. No sooner did he do that than the scorpion stung and rushed off the hand, landing in the water again. It struggled to come out of water again. The saint’s body was in pain but his mind, calm.
Seeing that the scorpion could lose its life, the saint used left hand this time to lift the scorpion out of water. However, it panicked and stung again. Once again, it sped off the hand and fell in water. He was left with both hands filled with pain. He was not the one to give up either.
He tried again. This time, he cupped his hands together and lifted the scorpion in one swift movement. Before it could react, he safely dropped it on the land. The scorpion disappeared into the pebbles that lay near the bank. He felt happy, for he succeeded in carrying out his rescue, for saving another life. It was worth the pain he thought.
At a distance, a man, surprised and shocked, had watched the whole process. He approached the saint and said, “Can I ask you a question please? ”
“Yes, you may. ”
“First of all, there was no need to save a scorpion. It does no good to anybody. Secondly, if you must save it, you could have simply tried once. I’m surprised that even after it stung you, you still went on. Why? ”
“Oh! That’s pretty simple, ”he replied softly rubbing his stung hands against each other. “This was a scorpion, a creature really low on the food chain, a creature whose nature is to sting(蜇), to panic, to harm. It is supposed to be weak. However, I am supposed to be a saint, a person whose job is to love everybody, to offer love. I am supposed to be the strong one, the one higher up on the food chain. With my principles, my philosophy(人生观)and practice, I am supposed to save other creatures. Right? ”
The man nodded.
【文章大意】一个圣徒从河里挽救一只蝎子时, 先后被蜇了两次, 但他照旧努力把它救了出来。这让一位路人格外不理解。这位圣徒告知他: 作为一个圣徒, 我的职责是向全部的生命传达爱, 挽救其他的生命是我最大的幸福。
1. When a saint saw a scorpion struggling to come out of the river, he .
A. was in the shallow river
B. was climbing the Himalayas
C. was on the river bank
D. had just crossed the river
【解析】选C。推理推断题。依据第一段可知, 从前, 有一个圣徒, 他徒步行走在前往喜马拉雅山的路上。途经一条小河, 当他刚要踏入小河时, 一只挣扎想逃离水面的蝎子映入眼帘。由此可推断出答案为C。
2. Why did the scorpion sting and rush off his right hand?
A. Because it was full of panic at that time.
B. Because it wanted to get to the bank itself.
C. Because the saint harmed it badly.
D. Because the saint tried to kill it.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。依据第三段中的However, it panicked and stung again. 可知, 当时是由于慌张失措, 蝎子才对他进行攻击。故答案为A。
3. How did the man nearby feel at the saint’s behaviour of saving the scorpion?
A. Happy. B. Angry.
C. Frightened. D. Puzzled.
【解析】选D。观点态度题。依据第七段内容: 首先, 挽救一只蝎子是没有必要的, 对谁来说这都是没有好处的。其次, 您救它一次就够了。令人惊异的是, 即便它蜇了您, 您却照旧努力去救它。这是为什么? 由此可推断出他对圣徒的行为感到迷惑不解。故答案为D。
4. From the passage we can infer .
A. the saint regretted having saved the scorpion later
B. the scorpion stung the saint three times in all
C. the man thought the saint a fool and left angrily
D. the saint thought it his duty to save other creatures
【解析】选D。推理推断题。依据最终一段内容: 作为一个圣徒, 我的职责是向全部生命传达爱。我的原则、人生观和生活历练告知我, 我应当挽救其他的生命。由此可推断出答案为D。
