问题     Facelift(紧肤术)followed by a week on a beach in Thailand? Hip surgery with a side of shopping in Singapore? Over the last 10 years, Asia’s rise on the medical tourism scene has been quick. Eastern nations dominate the global scene. Now Bali wants a slice of the action.
    The Indonesian island recently opened its first facility specifically targeting medical tourists with packages and services, Bah International Medical Centre(BIMC)Nusa Dua. BIMC already has an international hospital in Kuta, which opened in 1998.
    The new internationally managed facility offers surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures and dental care. Unlike most of the region’s hospitals, BIMC is designed to feel more like a spa or resort(度假村)than a medical facility.
    The 50-bed hospital has a 24-hour medical emergency entrance and hotel-like lobby at the front of the building servicing the hospital’s medical, and dental centers.
    If you’re a celebrity who doesn’t want everyone to know you’re here for a bit of lipo(吸脂术), no worries. There’s a private entrance that leads to the CosMedic Centre, which offers views of a golf course.
    BIMC has even teamed up with the nearby Courtyard by Marriott Bah, which provides specific after-care services like tailor-made meals and wellness programs for patients.
    Latest technology and cool interiors are a start, but breaking into a regional industry that already has some of the world’s top international hospitals will be tough, says—Josef Woodman, CEO of U.S.—based medical travel consumer guide Patients Beyond Borders(PBB).
    "As a newcomer, Bali faces stiff competition from nearby international healthcare providers. To compete, Bali will need to demonstrate a quality level of care and promote its services to the region and the world. On the positive side, Bali is blessed as one of the region’s safest, most popular tourist destinations, with a built-in potential to attract medical travelers."
    The Indonesian island couldn’t have picked a better time to get into the game, says PBB. "The world population is aging and becoming wealthier at rates that surpass the availability of quality healthcare resources," says the company’s research.
What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
选项 A、The population is developing faster than medical resources.
B、Healthcare is hardly available for the aging population.
C、The world is in need of more quality medical care.
D、The world population is becoming older and richer.
答案C
解析 推理题。最后一段中的比较级是很重要的回现点，意思是“世界人口老化和富有的速度超过可用高质量医疗资源的增长速度”，surpass的意思是“超过”，rate的意思是“速率，速度”。由此可推理得知，本题正确答案为C(需要更多的高质量医疗资源)。B选项中hardly(几乎不)使得整个选项是不可选的。
