解析：Both cases center on whether and when doctors may disclose a patient’s genetic diagnosis (Huntington’s disease) to family members without consent — i.e., revealing confidential patient illness information. Passage states: ‘how the limits of patient confidentiality are being tested’ and discusses disclosure in both UK and German contexts.
2.What information can we get from the London case?
A.The woman was optimistic about her father’s health.
B.The Huntington’s disease was ignored in the hospital.
C.The father hoped to have his disease concealed from his family.
D.The doctors were careful about revealing medical evidence.
正确答案：C
解析：The passage states: ‘a woman is suing the hospital that diagnosed her father with Huntington’s disease for not informing her’ and notes ‘doctors are legally obliged to respect the confidentiality of patients unless they consent to their information being shared’ — implying the father did not consent, i.e., wished to conceal it.
3.In the London case, the duty of disclosure ______.
A.remains a minor issue
B.needs further judgement
C.causes few problems
D.aids legal reform
正确答案：B
解析：Passage says: ‘The High Court trial will test whether that duty of disclosure should also be recognised in law.’ This indicates it is unsettled and requires judicial determination — i.e., needs further judgement.
A.got devastated upon hearing about her ex-husband’s disease
B.had to bring her children to hospital to test for Huntington’s
C.sued the doctor for delaying the treatment of her ex-husband
D.blamed her ex-husband for lacking concern for their children
正确答案：A
解析：Passage states: ‘Knowing her ex-husband’s diagnosis without being able to act on it, the woman claimed, had sent her into a reactive depression and left her unable to work.’ This directly supports option A.
5.Which of the following explains the statement “the law is black-and-white”?
A.The law reduces the risk of a crime in many areas.
B.The law deals with various problems in people’s life.
C.The law gives a distinction between right and wrong.
D.The law takes effect in a few rather than all aspects.
正确答案：C
解析：“Black-and-white” is a metaphor meaning rigid, binary, absolute — contrasting with the nuanced, probabilistic nature of predictive medicine (‘all about grey’). Option C captures this dichotomous nature: law defines clear boundaries of right/wrong, unlike medicine’s spectrum of risk.
6.What is the teachers’ main concern about their students?
A.Their difficulty of starting a career.
B.Their failure in self-expression.
C.Their refusal to learn anything.
D.Their poor grammar in writing.
正确答案：D
解析：First sentence of Passage 2: ‘teachers worried that their students with poor writing skills will suffer…’ and later: ‘how to help teenagers who didn’t learn the foundations of grammar’; multiple references to punctuation, subject-verb agreement, capitalization, spelling — all grammar/writing mechanics.
解析：Passage states: ‘Eighteen teachers met for a class last week with Mary Norris… Ms. Norris began with… Then she led the group…’ — clearly indicating she was the instructor. The Academy for Teachers sponsored it, not Norris.
8.What has been dropped due to time constraints according to the teachers?
A.Grammar lessons.
B.Reading programs.
C.Hands-on projects.
D.Test preparations.
正确答案：A
解析：Passage explicitly says: ‘formal grammar lessons have fallen by the wayside because of time constraints, an emphasis on hands-on projects and other priorities.’
