[解析]
(1)细节理解题。根据第一段NPR's Melissa Block,host of All Things Considered,recently spent a day at the hospital to get a sense of her world,through her relationships with her patients.(NPR新闻的Melissa Block是All Things Considered节目的主持人,她最近花了一天时间在医院里,通过她与病人的关系来了解她的世界)可知,Melissa Block去医院是想了解Dr.Ofri的故事。故选C。
(2)主旨大意题。根据第三段Dr.Ofri tries to keep an ear turned to the stories behind her patients' medical complaints.Answers to questions about family or jobs may not help with medical diagnosis,but conversations like these can help gain a patient's trust,and they help the doctor,too. "At night,I recall our conversations,and wonder what else I could do for them.It makes me curious about them," Dr.Ofri says,"so when I go back the next day,I'm more connected with them.And I think a connection has healing powers.Most of the patients.brighten.when they talk about themselves and I think they actually feel better."(奥弗里医生试图倾听病人医疗投诉背后的故事。回答有关家庭或工作的问题可能对医学诊断没有帮助,但这样的对话可以帮助获得患者的信任,也对医生有帮助。晚上,我回想起我们的谈话,想着我还能为他们做些什么。这让我对他们感到好奇,"奥弗里博士说,"所以当我第二天回去的时候,我和他们的联系更紧密了。我认为这种联系有治愈的力量。大多数病人。照亮。当他们谈论自己时,我认为他们实际上感觉更好。")可知,该段主要谈到了倾听病人的心声好处。故选C。
(3)词义猜测题。根据第四段She carves out five minutes or so each day to gather with her interns and read a poem.(她每天抽出五分钟左右的时间和实习生们聚在一起读一首诗)以及划线词后文another kind of language into the training poetry(训练诗歌的另一种语言)可知,她每天花费大约五分钟时间把实习生召集起来读诗,是为了增加另一种语言给学生学习,故划线词意思是"增加"。A.Cut.切割;B.Change.变更;C.Accept.接受;D.Add.添加,增加。故选D。
(4)推理判断题。根据最后一段"Through these brief pauses in the day,she says she's giving her students "a chance to let the other part of their brain flower a little bit"."I'm just hoping the experience of doing that is helpful,and also trains my students to listen more carefully to patients." she said.(她说,通过每天的这些短暂停顿,她给了学生们"一个让他们大脑的另一部分开花结果的机会"。"我只是希望这样做的经验是有帮助的,也训练我的学生更仔细地倾听病人。"她说)可知,奥弗里医生要为新医生举办"文学研讨会"是为了提高他们的人道主义素质。故选B。
