10、to suing doctors, Philadelphia is hardly the city of brotherly love. A combination of sprightly lawyers and sympathetic juries has made Philadelphia a hotspot for medical-malpractice lawsuits. Since 1995, Pennsylvania state courts have awarded an average of $ 2m in such cases, according to Jury Verd
11、ict Research, a survey firm. Some medical specialists have seen their malpractice insurance premiums nearly double over the past year. Obstetricians are now paying up to $104,000 a year to protect themselves.The insurance industry is largely to blame. Carol Golin, the Monitors editor, argues that in
12、 the 1990s insurers tried to grab market share by offering artificially low rates (betting that any losses would be covered by gains on their investments). The stock-market correction, coupled with the large legal awards, has eroded the insurers reserves. Three in Pennsylvania alone have gone bust.A
13、 few doctors-particularly older ones-will quit. The rest are adapting. Some are abandoning litigation-prone procedures, such as delivering babies. Others are moving parts of their practice to neighboring states where insurance rates are lower. Some from Pennsylvania have opened offices in New Jersey
14、. New doctors may also be deterred from setting up shop in litigation havens, however prestigious.Despite a Republican president, tort reform has got nowhere at the federal level. Indeed doctors could get clobbered indirectly by a Patients Bill of Rights, which would further expose managed care comp
15、anies to lawsuits. This prospect has fuelled interest among doctors in Pennsylvanias new medical malpractice reform bill, which was signed into law on March 20th. It will, among other things, give doctors $ 40m of state funds to offset their insurance premiums, spread the payment of awards out over
16、time and prohibit individuals from double dipping-that is, suing a doctor for damages that have already been paid by their health insurer.But will it really help? Randall Bovbjerg, a health policy expert at the Urban Institute, argues that the only proper way to slow down the litigation machine woul
17、d be to limit the compensation for pain and suffering, so-called “non-monetary damages“. Needless to say, a fixed cap on such awards is resisted by most trial lawyers. But Mr Bovbjerg reckons a more nuanced approach, with a sliding scale of payments based on well-defined measures of injury, is a bet
18、ter way forward. In the meantime, doctors and insurers are bracing themselves for a couple more rough years before the insurance cycle turns.Nobody disputes that hospital staff make mistakes: a 1999 Institute of Medicine report claimed that errors kill at least 44,000 patients a year. But there is l
19、ittle evidence that malpractice lawsuits on their own will solve the problem.(分数:10.00)(1).We can learn from the beginning of the text that doctors in Philadelphia(分数:2.00)A.are often overcharged.B.flee out of the hot city.C.are likely to be sued.D.enjoy a high prestige.(2).By mentioning “double-dip
20、ping“ (Paragraph 4), the author is talking about(分数:2.00)A.compensations.B.premiums.C.stock shares.D.investment.(3).According to the text, what encourages doctors and insurers is that(分数:2.00)A.a new reform bill is coming into force.B.insurance premiums could be balanced.C.new medical offices have b
21、een opened up.D.injuries will be precisely measured.(4).To which of the following is the author most likely to agree?(分数:2.00)A.The proper way is to slow down payments for injuries.B.Juries tended to find fault with the compensations paid.C.Low insurance rates are to blame for the potential trouble.
22、D.Legal procedures alone may not solve the rough problem.(5).It seems that the author is most critical of(分数:2.00)A.negligent doctors.B.unfriendly patients.C.insurance companies.D.sympathetic lawyers.五、Text 2(总题数:1,分数:10.00)In the end, a degree of sanity prevailed. The militant Hindus who had vowed
23、to breach a police cordon and start the work of building a temple to the god Ram at the disputed site of Ayodhya decided to respect a Supreme Court decision barring them from the area. So charged have Hindu-Muslim relations in India become in recent weeks, as the declared deadline of March 15th near
24、ed, that a clash at Rams supposed birthplace might well have provoked bloodshed on an appalling scale across the nation. It has, unfortunately, happened often enough before.But the threat has not vanished. The courts decision is only an interim one, and the main Hindu groups have not given up on the
