📖 題組:
Passage B How would big data play a role in the twenty-first century medicine? To answer this question, we may learn something from the forerunners—the Dutch and the Japanese. Though from very different cultural contexts, both collect big data not only to analyze the existing problems, but also to predict the future curve concerning both personal and public health wisely. It is true that the total population in Taiwan is decreasing, but people are also living longer. Therefore, a lot of the Public Health Insurance payments go to the aging and the unhealthy disproportionately. To stop this imbalanced money drain, we should promote the preventive medicine, reduce bedridden days, and encourage the signing of donor cards—though the last one might be a cultural taboo difficult to break in the short term. Meanwhile, there is another factor—our contemporary society is getting more and more M-shaped. On the one hand, the rich get richer; on the other, the poor become poorer. This results in their different types of unhealthiness: the rich would get more obese, leading to chronic diseases such as cardiovascular ones, or diabetes, as well as mental problems; the poor, confronted with worsening living conditions, might develop alcoholism, drug addiction, and another set of mental illnesses. Not to mention the middle class who suffer yet another set of psychosomatic problems. Hence to respond to the future extremes of the health spectrum, the government's policy to freeze the quota of total physicians to just 1,300 graduates ever since 2008 needs reconsideration now. How should postgraduate medical students prepare themselves to be future physicians? Even though physician training is bound to be tough, and students (candidates) are under constant distress, potential trainees should first brace themselves for the ever-changing world and adjust themselves. Second, they should constantly remind themselves of their original motive—to save people's lives. Finally, it is advisable to take the advantage of the increasingly internet-linked world, and try to take the initiative to reach out to the outside world. "Where there is a will, there is a way." Though this sounds like a cliché, yet learning to articulate stories of their future outposts may lead to a win-win situation. As specialists, or general practitioners, they may not be able to solve all the problems. Yet at least they can tell their stories via podcast (or other social media) so that the outsiders can hear the true stories and apply different ways to help. In other words, they shouldn't ______ themselves to the comfort zone, or take the city living standard for granted. If they change their mindset, they would really feel rewarded by the help they render to others, and benefit their own body, soul, and spirit.
All the following are suggestions to potential postgraduate medical students if they face the challenges EXCEPT:
  • A Stick to the goals set originally.
  • B Stay resilient in times of uncertainty.
  • C Make good use of online resources.
  • D Go beyond an enclosed situation.
  • E Measure twice and cut once.

思路引導 VIP

請仔細閱讀文章最後兩段作者給醫學生的三項具體建議(即 First, Second, Finally 引導的句子)。作者是希望醫學生在面對變動的社會時,採取「主動連結外界、打破舒適圈」的積極態度,還是強調「在採取行動前要極度謹慎、反覆思量」的保守態度呢?

恭喜你精準地鎖定了正確答案!這題考驗的是對文章後半段建議事項的細節檢索與對應能力,而你展現了非常敏銳的觀察力。文中在討論未來醫學生的準備時,明確提到了要提醒自己「行醫的初衷(original motive)」,這對應了選項 (A);提到「面對變動的世界做好準備(brace themselves)」則與 (B) 的韌性(resilient)相呼應;至於利用網路優勢與主動接觸外界,則完整支持了 (C) 與 (D) 的論述。

文本證據與慣用語辨析

這道題目具備中等難度的鑑別度,關鍵在於選項 (E) 的慣用語辨析。"Measure twice and cut once" 字面上是「量兩次才剪一次」,意指「三思而後行」或「行事前周全規劃」。雖然這在醫學領域(尤其是外科)是極佳的格言,但在本文的脈絡中,作者強調的是醫學生應如何「適應變革」、「不留戀舒適圈」以及「主動敘事」,而非強調「謹慎或保守」的作風。你能夠排除這個看似合理、實則未在文中提及的選項,說明你已完全掌握了「依據文本證據作答」的閱讀核心原則。
