The field of medicine has always attracted its share of quacks and charlatans—disreputable women and men with little or no medical knowledge who promise quick cures at cheap prices. The reasons why quackery thrives even in modern times are easy to find.
To begin with, pain seems to be a chronic human condition. A person whose body or mind hurts will often pay any amount of money for the promise of relief. Second, even the best medical treatment cannot cure all the ills that beset men and women. People who mistrust or dislike the truths that their physicians tell them often turn to more sympathetic ears.
Many people lack the training necessary to evaluate medical claims. Given the choice between(a)a reputable physician who says a cure for cancer will be long, expensive and may not work at all, and(b)a salesperson who says that several bottles of a secret formula " snake oil" will cure not only cancer but tuberculosis as well, some individuals will opt for "snake oil".
Many "snake oil" remedies are highly laced with alcohol or narcotic drugs. Anyone who drinks them may get so drunk or stoned that they drown their pains in the rising tide of pleasant intoxication. Little wonder that "snake oil" is a popular cure-all for minor aches and hurts! But let there be no misunderstandings. A very few "home remedies" actually work. However, most remedies sold by quacks are not only useless, but often can be harmful as well.
Quackery thrives even in modern times because______.
选项
A、patients pay any amount of money
B、patients do not like their physicians
C、quacks say that they can help patients
D、best medical treatment costs very much
答案
C
解析
本题考查推理判断。根据第一段最后一句和第二段中的“The reasons why quac—kery thrives even in modem times are easy to find.A person whose body or mind hurts will of-ten pay any amount of money for...mistrust or dislike the truths that their physicians tell themoften turn to more sympathetic ears.”可知,病人身体或精神不好时,会不惜一切代价看病,他们不相信或不喜欢他们的医生诚实地告诉他们医学治疗并不能治愈困扰人们的所有疾病的事实,而是通常去找那些声称其药能治百病的庸医,因此,现在庸医还是普遍存在。所以,答案是C。
