Honesty, my mum always used to tell me, is the best policy. But when it comes to medicine, I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients. After all, the doctor-patient relationship is based on trust, and therefore honesty is essential, or so I thought.

I had just started working in geriatrics(老年病科). Mr. McMahon 【1】（bring） in when his body was found very swollen（浮肿的）. I took a medical history 【2】his daughter who had accompanied him in the ambulance. She'd been his main care for years. I stood 【3】 (look) at him as she gave a detailed history. "Has he lost any weight recently?" I asked, "Well, it's funny you should mention that, but yes." She said slowly. There was silence for a few moments. "Why? What are you worried about?" she asked. She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told 【4】 the truth. "Well, we need to prove it's not cancer." I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order.

Half an hour later, a nurse called me: "Mr. McMahon's daughter broke down－she said you told her he had cancer." My heart sank. By the time I arrived at the ward, my consultant was already there, explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed 【5】 he had cancer. I stood silently at the end of the bed. My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr. McMahon, she turned to me. "Why on earth did you do that?" she asked in disbelief. I looked at her and bit my lip. "She asked me what I was worried about and I told her." I said, hanging my head. "And give her more 【6】 (worry) about?" replied my consultant. "You don't say the word 'cancer' until it's confirmed. 【7】 you suspect it, think very carefully before you tell people."

【8】 it turned out, it wasn't cancer. But I did learn that when someone is stressed and worried about their loved one they're sometimes selective in 【9】 they hear－and as a doctor it's important to be mindful of this. In being truthful, I'd made the situation 【10】 (bad).

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一直坚持“医生应该对病人诚实”原则的作者通过一件事情认识到当一个人感到压力和为所爱的人担心时，他有时会对所听到的有所选择，说实话反而会让情况变得更糟。

【1】考查时态语态。句意：当麦克马洪先生的身体发现浮肿得很厉害时，他被带进了我的科室。Mr. McMahon 与bring in之间是被动关系，而且事情发生在过去，应该用一般过去时的被动语态，故填was brought。

【2】考介词。句意：我从陪他上救护车的女儿那里拿到了一份病史。根据句意可知此处表示“从……那里”，故填from。

【3】考查非谓语动词。句意：当他女儿详细地讲述他的病史时，我站在那里看着他。I与look之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，表示主动，用现在分词作伴随状语，故填looking。

【4】考查代词。句意：她显然很关心他的病情，我告诉她真相才公平。此处指麦克马洪先生的女儿，作动词told的宾语用宾格，故填her。

【5】考查宾语从句。句意：当我到达病房时，我的顾问已经在那里了，她解释说我们还需要做很多检查，但这绝不能证实他就是得了癌症。此处为宾语从句，从句成分完整，故填that。

【6】考查不定式。句意：还要让她担心更多？”我的顾问反问我。worry about表示的是将来的动作，所以用不定式作后置定语，故填to worry。

【7】考查让步状语从句。句意：即使你怀疑（是癌症），在告诉病人（家属）之前，你也要仔细考虑一下。根据句意可知前后是让步关系，此处表示“即使”，故填Even if。

【8】考查非限定性定语从句。句意：事实证明，他得的并不是癌症。此处为as引导的非限定性定语从句，as位于句首，指代后面整个主句内容，并在从句中作turned out的宾语，故填As。

【9】考查宾语从句。句意：但我确实明白了当一个人感到压力和为所爱的人担心时，他有时会对所听到的有所选择。此处为宾语从句，从句中的hear缺少宾语，故填what。

【10】考查形容词比较级。句意：说实话，我（反而）把情况弄得更糟了。此处有一个隐含的比较意义，表示“让情况比（以前）更糟”，故填worse。
