Honesty, my mum always used to tell me, is the best policy. But when it comes to medicine, I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients. After all, the doctor-patient relationship is based on trust, and therefore honesty is essential, or so I thought.

I had just started working in geriatrics(老年病科). Mr. McMahon 【1】（bring） in when his body was found very swollen（浮腫的）. I took a medical history 【2】his daughter who had accompanied him in the ambulance. She'd been his main care for years. I stood 【3】 (look) at him as she gave a detailed history. "Has he lost any weight recently?" I asked, "Well, it's funny you should mention that, but yes." She said slowly. There was silence for a few moments. "Why? What are you worried about?" she asked. She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told 【4】 the truth. "Well, we need to prove it's not cancer." I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order.

Half an hour later, a nurse called me: "Mr. McMahon's daughter broke down－she said you told her he had cancer." My heart sank. By the time I arrived at the ward, my consultant was already there, explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed 【5】 he had cancer. I stood silently at the end of the bed. My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr. McMahon, she turned to me. "Why on earth did you do that?" she asked in disbelief. I looked at her and bit my lip. "She asked me what I was worried about and I told her." I said, hanging my head. "And give her more 【6】 (worry) about?" replied my consultant. "You don't say the word 'cancer' until it's confirmed. 【7】 you suspect it, think very carefully before you tell people."

【8】 it turned out, it wasn't cancer. But I did learn that when someone is stressed and worried about their loved one they're sometimes selective in 【9】 they hear－and as a doctor it's important to be mindful of this. In being truthful, I'd made the situation 【10】 (bad).

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文，講述了一直堅(jiān)持“醫(yī)生應(yīng)該對(duì)病人誠(chéng)實(shí)”原則的作者通過(guò)一件事情認(rèn)識(shí)到當(dāng)一個(gè)人感到壓力和為所愛(ài)的人擔(dān)心時(shí)，他有時(shí)會(huì)對(duì)所聽(tīng)到的有所選擇，說(shuō)實(shí)話反而會(huì)讓情況變得更糟。

【1】考查時(shí)態(tài)語(yǔ)態(tài)。句意：當(dāng)麥克馬洪先生的身體發(fā)現(xiàn)浮腫得很厲害時(shí)，他被帶進(jìn)了我的科室。Mr. McMahon 與bring in之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，而且事情發(fā)生在過(guò)去，應(yīng)該用一般過(guò)去時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，故填was brought。

【2】考介詞。句意：我從陪他上救護(hù)車的女兒那里拿到了一份病史。根據(jù)句意可知此處表示“從……那里”，故填from。

【3】考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。句意：當(dāng)他女兒詳細(xì)地講述他的病史時(shí)，我站在那里看著他。I與look之間是邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系，表示主動(dòng)，用現(xiàn)在分詞作伴隨狀語(yǔ)，故填looking。

【4】考查代詞。句意：她顯然很關(guān)心他的病情，我告訴她真相才公平。此處指麥克馬洪先生的女兒，作動(dòng)詞told的賓語(yǔ)用賓格，故填her。

【5】考查賓語(yǔ)從句。句意：當(dāng)我到達(dá)病房時(shí)，我的顧問(wèn)已經(jīng)在那里了，她解釋說(shuō)我們還需要做很多檢查，但這絕不能證實(shí)他就是得了癌癥。此處為賓語(yǔ)從句，從句成分完整，故填that。

【6】考查不定式。句意：還要讓她擔(dān)心更多？”我的顧問(wèn)反問(wèn)我。worry about表示的是將來(lái)的動(dòng)作，所以用不定式作后置定語(yǔ)，故填to worry。

【7】考查讓步狀語(yǔ)從句。句意：即使你懷疑（是癌癥），在告訴病人（家屬）之前，你也要仔細(xì)考慮一下。根據(jù)句意可知前后是讓步關(guān)系，此處表示“即使”，故填Even if。

【8】考查非限定性定語(yǔ)從句。句意：事實(shí)證明，他得的并不是癌癥。此處為as引導(dǎo)的非限定性定語(yǔ)從句，as位于句首，指代后面整個(gè)主句內(nèi)容，并在從句中作turned out的賓語(yǔ)，故填As。

【9】考查賓語(yǔ)從句。句意：但我確實(shí)明白了當(dāng)一個(gè)人感到壓力和為所愛(ài)的人擔(dān)心時(shí)，他有時(shí)會(huì)對(duì)所聽(tīng)到的有所選擇。此處為賓語(yǔ)從句，從句中的hear缺少賓語(yǔ)，故填what。

【10】考查形容詞比較級(jí)。句意：說(shuō)實(shí)話，我（反而）把情況弄得更糟了。此處有一個(gè)隱含的比較意義，表示“讓情況比（以前）更糟”，故填worse。
