Want a glimpse of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the various networks of people involved in patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient—no matter where he or she may be.
Online doctors offering advice based on standardized symptoms are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis (telemedicine) will be based on real physiological (生理的) data from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using an off-the-shelf (现成的) PDA (personal data assistance) such as a Palm Pilot plus a mobile phone, it is perfectly feasible to transmit a patient’s vital signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment in a first-aid kit (急救包), the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.
Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster response—especially after earthquakes. Overall, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and expertise.
But there is one problem. Bandwidth is the limiting factor for transmitting medical images a-round the world—CT scans being one of the biggest bandwidth consumers. Communications satellites may be able to cope with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes, wars or famines. But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and the third-generation mobile phones for the future of distributed medical intelligence.
Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications, the new technologies should usher in (迎来) an era when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, expert opinion and diagnosis are common.
The sentence "the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past" means______.
选项
A、now people probably would not ask if there is a doctor in the house
B、patients used to cry and ask if there was a doctor in the house
C、in the past people often cried and asked if there was a doctor in the house
D、patients are now still asking if there is a doctor in the house
答案
A
解析
本题是一道句子含义类问题。问句子“the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past,”的意思是什么。利用查阅式阅读法,我们发现第二段后两句提到,肯塔基大学的一组医生证明,利用像掌上控制器和一部移动电话这样的现成的个人数据辅助系统,从电话上传送病人的一些关键症状是完全可能的。急救包里如果有这样一个系统,到医生家里急呼医生的做法很可能就成为历史了。言外之意,在发生急诊时,不需要再亲自到医生家里去请他,他在自己家里通过个人数据辅助系统就可能对病人做出诊断。在本句中,could well be表示“很可能”,恰与选择项A中probably对应。因此,本题的正确答案应是A。而其他选择项不表示可能性,均为错误选项。
