选项 A、common
B、inferior
C、ordinary
D、quality

答案D

解析 语义衔接题。本句句意为:不要说分析病人的病例了,仅仅接触病人病例都是困难的,这些困难原本是不该有的,它们妨碍了我们提供优质服务。该段首句就提到了我们的医疗服务较差。而没有病人病例,对病人一无所知显然是作者认为造成较差医疗服务的原因,即它们影响了我们提供高质量的服务。quality意为"质量",与inferior相对应,符合上下文语义逻辑关系。common意为"普通的",也有"劣质的"之意,inferior意为"较差的",虽然文章中提到了医疗服务较差,但这里因为提到了hinder us from providing(妨碍了我们提供),所以不能填入具有"较差的"之意的词汇;ordinary意为"普通的",文章从开始就批评医疗服务较差,这里没有涉及医疗服务普通的问题,故排除此项。
