passage 2
Victoria Barzilai opened her mouth wide so the doctor could look at her sore throat. Not _1_ a remarkable event, except that Victoria was at home and the doctor was hundreds of miles away. Feeling too sick to _2_ herself to the school health center, the third-year university student had chosen a cyber-doctor visit, the 21st century _3_ of a house call.
A number of websites offer face-to-face consultations of the _4_ visit to anyone with a credit card and access to a webcam-equipped computer. The services are intended for patients with _5_ minor problems that don’t require hands-on diagnoses or treatments, not for people who need stitches, MRIs or casts on broken limbs.
One presumed strong advantage of e-visits like these is _6_. That counted with Victoria who points out that “My doctor is at least an hour away, and besides, I didn’t know when I could get in to see him.” Victoria used MedCareLive.com, which offers California _7_ no-wait consultations with healthcare professionals from 9 a.m. to midnight every day. Other sites, such as Teladoc and MeMD, offer consultations 24/7. Some e-visit sites ask for consultation fees. Others _8_ different rates for different services.
Although MedCareIive.com does not _9_ with any insurance companies, co-founders Dr. David Tashman and Sigi Marmoratein set out to make their service a good deal—for people who have insurance and people who don’t. “We set our price point at $45 for a reason ,”Tashman says. “Most co-pays by insurance companies run from $30 to $50. “We want to help people stay away from the emergency room and _10_ care,”Marmorstein adds. “We want to save people money.”

解题思路

Passage2
解题思路
1.[D]空格前的not和空格后的名词词组表明此处需要一个副词，以修饰整个名词词组。词库中符合上下文句意逻辑的副词是exactly，表明上一句提到的“张大嘴巴给医生检查喉咙”并不能算什么了不起的事情。
2.[K]空格前的不定式标记to表明此处应填写动词原形。Victoria Barzilai选择网上看医生说明她很不舒服，自己去不了学校的医务室看医生，drag符合语义。
3.[F]空格后的of表明此处需要一个名词。空格所在部分是前面a cyber-doctor visit的同位语，说明“网上看医生”是21世纪医生出诊的一种“模式”(或者说“版本”），version符合语义。
4.[O]空格前后的冠词和名词表明此处需要-个形容词。只要有—张信用卡、一部装有摄像头的电脑(a webcam-equipped computer)就可以看医生，由此可知此处的visit应指“网上”看医生，故选用virtual“虚拟的”。
5. [E]根据空格后的形容词minor推断此处需要一个副词。本句要说明怎样的病情才适合网上看病，结合下文不需要医生亲自诊断或治疗，可知只有“比较”轻的病情才可以网上看病，因此relatively。
6.[J]空格所在句主语是advantage，空格应该同为名词，说明这个“优点”具体是什么。根据后面Victoria所说可以推断网上看病的优点是convenience“方便”。
7.[M]空格前的动词offer常用于offer sb. Sth.结构，根据这个结构可以推断空格处应为表示某一类人的名词，据此从词库中选取residents“居民”。
8.[H]空格处应填入动词作句子谓语。前句提到，有些同上出诊需要收取咨询费。而空格所在句子也提到，根据
不同的服务收取不同的费用，可见此处应选取与ask for同义的charge“收费”。
9. [C]空格需要一个动词，且可以与介词with搭配，词库中符合此条件的动词是contract。空格所在句意为
MedCarelive.com没有与任何保险公司“签订合约”。
10. [A]…care与前面的the emergency room并列,可见空格处应为名词、形容词或分词,修饰care。句中的stay away from(远离）提示急诊室和这种care是要避免的，因此选用urgent—词，urgent care意为“急救”。
