　　C．urge hospitals to change their decision­making authority

　　D．inform potential patients of their health­care rights

　　【解析】　意图态度题。通读整篇文章可以看出，作者只是以客观、中立的态度分析了医患双方这个特殊经济关系中的一些重要因素，故B项正确。作者并没有批评医生过多地掌握病人，也没有力劝医院收回决策权，更没有告诉病人他们享受医疗保险的权力。故其他三项均不是本文的写作意图。

　　A．it is doctors who bring in income for the hospital

　　B．it is doctors who arm with professional skills

　　C．a doctor is responsible for a patient's health

　　D．a doctor is in charge of a patient's hospital care

　　【解析】　推理判断题。概括第三段第二、第三和第四这三句话的深层含义可推断出，A项表达贴近文意。C、D两项与文意不符；B项没有提及。

　　3．The author is most probably preparing for ．

　　A．a proposal to control medical costs

　　B．a discussion of a new medical treatment

　　C．an analysis of the cause of the doctor­patient conflicts

　　D．a study of cases against doctors for neglecting their duty

　　【解析】　意图态度题。本章主要讲的是在医疗经济中，决定医疗费用的是医生，而不是病人，最后一句又提出了节约的问题。因此可见，作者前面的分析是为后面关于控制医疗费用的建议做铺垫的，故A项意图相符。文章没有提到治疗方法或医患纠纷及医生治疗不当的案例，故其他三项不符文意。

　　【答案】　A
