问题 单项选择题

高技术药品使国家的保健费用升高。最近在白内障手术上取得的进步说明了为什么会出现这种现象,特别是在老年人中白内障是导致失明的主要原因。10年以前,白内障手术不但痛苦,而且不总是有效。现在由于在白内障手术中使用了新技术,所以手术可以使视力得到极大的恢复并且更便宜。这两个因素使医生做白内障手术的次数急剧增加,结果在白内障手术上所花的总的费用升高了。
下面哪一点可以从上述段落中推出

A.10年以前,很少人的白内障手术是成功的。
B.从长期的观点看,医学技术进步的优点将有可能超过它的缺点。
C.在白内障手术上的总的花费增加了,这是因为参加手术治疗的人的数量的增加过多地抵消了每起手术费用的降低。
D.国家的保健费的巨大增加主要是由于老年人对手术需求量的增加。
E.10年以前,能付得起白内障手术费的人数比去年的多。

答案

参考答案:C

解析:作为一个概括,题干介绍了两个信息,一是由于在白内障手术中使用了新技术,所以手术更便宜了,二是医生做白内障手术的次数增加,结果在白内障手术上所花的总的费用升高了。即总价的上升是因为数量上升抵消并且超过单价便宜带来的影响。
