例2、It is said that in England death is pressing, in　Canada inevitable and in California optional. Small　wonder. Americans' life expectancy has nearly doubled　over the past century. Failing hips can be replaced,　　clinical depression controlled, cataracts removed in a　30-minuts surgical procedure. Such advances offer the　aging population a quality of life that was　unimaginable when I entered medicine 50 years ago. But　not even a great health-care system can cure death-and　our failure to confront that reality now threatens　this greatness of ours.
　　Death is normal; we are genetically programmed to　disintegrate and perish, even under ideal conditions.
　　We all understand that at some level, yet as medical　consumers we treat death as a problem to be solved.
　　Shielded by third-party payers from the cost of our　care, we demand everything that can possibly be done　　for us, even if it's useless. The most obvious example　is late-stage cancer care. Physicians-frustrated by　their inability to cure the disease and fearing loss　of hope in the patient-too often offer aggressive　treatment far beyond what is scientifically justified.
　　In 1950, the U. S. spent $12. 7 billion on health　care. In 2002, the cost will be $1540 billion. Anyone　can see this trend is unsustainable. Yet few seem　willing to try to reverse it. Some scholars conclude　that a government with finite resources should simply　stop paying for medical care that sustains life beyond　a certain age—say 83 or so. Former Colorado governor
　　Richard Lamm has been quoted as saying that the old　and infirm “have a duty to die and get out of the　way”, so that younger, healthier people can realize　their potential.
　　I would not go that far. Energetic people now　routinely work through their 60s and beyond, and　remain dazzlingly productive. At 78, Viacom chairman　Sumner Redstone jokingly claims to be 53. Supreme　Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor is in her 70s, and　former surgeon general C. Everett Koop chairs an　Internet start-up in his 80s. These leaders are living　proof that prevention works and that we can manage the　health problems that come naturally with age. As a　mere 68-year-old, I wish to age as productively as　they have.
　　Yet there are limits to what a society can spend in　this pursuit. Ask a physician, I know the most costly　and dramatic measures may be ineffective and painful.　I also know that people in Japan and Sweden, countries　that spend far less on medical care, have achieved　longer, healthier lives than we have. As a nation, we　may be overfunding the quest for unlikely cures while　underfunding research on humbler therapies that could　improve people's lives.

      58.The author’s attitude toward Richard Lamm’s　remark is one of .(2003)
　　(A) strong disapproval   (B) reserved　consent
　　(C) slight contempt    (D) enthusiasticsupport

　　【解析】：

　　第一步：根据局部对象或者局部对象的主体找出本题的出题句；根据该题的题干，我们可以依据Richard Lamm’s remark找到本题目的出题句(得分句)为第三段的最后一句话，但是这句话里并没有作者的情感态度，只有Richard

　　Lamm的看法，因此本句不是出题句(得分句)，但是可以肯定的是出题句就是该句附近。我们发现在第四段第一句话说I would not go that far.这里的I就是指作者，that是指Richard Lamm的看法，所以本句才是真正的出题句；

　　第二步：在出题句(或称得分句)中寻找含有感情色彩的词语或句子；这个句子中没有一个单词是有感情色彩的，但是作为一个整体又是有感情色彩的，意思是作者不会和Richard Lamm走一样远的。不会走一样远并不是说不走，只是说没有走的那么远，所以作者对于Richard Lamm的看法是局部的同意和支持的；

　　第三步：比较该感情色彩的词语或句子和四个选项，选择一个意思和该词语最为接近的选项；因此本题应该选择B；
