问题     When a drug is one that should be used only under a doctor’s supervision, the law requires that it be sold only by prescription (处方). Special tests or instructions may be needed. Drugs for serious diseases may require a prescription to insure safe and correct use.
    A prescription is as personal as your name. It is designed for you alone. It is based on such factors as your age, weight, general health, allergies (过敏症), and other factors, as well as your illness.
    Never take a prescription drug meant for another person, even if you think you have the same illness. Prescriptions aren’t supposed to be traded around the family or neighborhood. Each prescription is intended for an individual. It is a violation of federal law to sell a prescription drug without a prescription.
    Doctors and dentists are licensed by each state to prescribe drugs for human use. Doctors for veterinary (兽医的) medicine are licensed to prescribe drugs for animal use.
    A licensed medical doctor must pass all examination m practice medicine in a certain state. Before doing this, he or she has probably completed at least two years of a premedical course, a four-year medical course, two years of internship (实习) or residency in a hospital, and perhaps an extra year or more of training in a specialty -- altogether at least eight years of medical training, possibly nine.
    Don’t take prescriptions written for you during a previous illness without first checking with your doctor. Your illness may not be the same as the previous one, even though you think it is. Also the drug may have lost strength. Only a doctor is qualified to advise you about continuing to take a medicine.
Why does the law require that some drugs be used under a doctor’s prescription?
选项 A、Because they are not safe.
B、Because they need further special tests.
C、Because they are meant to cure serious diseases.
D、Because the prescription can ensure the safe use of the drugs.
答案D
解析 此题问为何法律规定一些药品必须有医生开处方方可使用。根据第一段最后一句“Drugs for serious diseases may require a prescription to insure safe and correct use．”可以看出，其目的是为了安全、正确地用药。A、B、C项都没有说明与法律安全用药规定的关系。
