选项 A、decisively
B、aggressively
C、comprehensively
D、excessively

答案B

解析 语义衔接题。本文一直在谈论美国的医疗保健体系很差,另外从本题下一句中的The computerization and redesign of Sweden’s health delivery system(瑞典医疗体系的计算机化及其新设计)可以看出本句大意:与美国相比,其他国家在医疗信息方面的进步要大得多。aggressively意为"积极进取地,活泼地",在这里表示褒义,说明其他国家在医疗保健方面有长足的进步,而美国却远远落后了。decisively意为"决然地,果断地",本文中只是说美国有些事情没有做,本题上下文处没有表明美国态度不够坚决;comprehensively意为"全面地,包括地",文章涉及美国医疗保健制度的不足主要是针对缺少病人病例的问题,从下文中的瑞典实行计算机化可以看出这里是谈论医疗体系某方面的进展,并非针对医疗体系全面问题;excessively意为"过分地,过度地",显然这里是在赞扬瑞典的改革,因此不可能认为其改革过度。
