　　答案与解析：

　　答案：1. B试题分析：本题为细节题。根据全文第一句“Health Minister Nicola Roxon’s latest proposal that patients be allocated to doctors on a list basis is...”可知应当选B。

　　答案：2. C试题分析：本题为概括题。根据第二段可知原因可能是“some doctors have a better bedside manner”，“they are more competent”，或者病人“there is a simple personality clash”，“wants a second opinion”，“has a potentially embarrassing problem that he or she does not want to discuss with his or her regular general practitioner”。只有C没有提到。

　　答案：3. C试题分析：本题为细节题。根据第四段“This means they must first finish medical school and then qualify as surgeons, physicians, ophthalmologists or psychiatrists.”可知只有C选项opticians(眼镜商)没有提到。

　　答案：4. D试题分析：本题为概括题。根据第七段“nurse practitioners may have a role in isolated areas”，“a nurse is not a substitute for a general practitioner”，“a nurse is not a substitute for...general practitioners with years’ more education behind them”可知

　　A、B、C都正确，而根据本段内容nurse practitioner又不同于family GP(家庭全科医师)，故选D。

　　答案：5. A试题分析：本题为概括题。根据第三段“Some people who are ill-suited to their career choice are always going to slip through the system”可知A正确;根据第六段“the average GP...that gives him a barely adequate return on his investment in professional development”可知B错误;根据第六段“They remain independent professionals”可知C错误;根据最后一段“If the Fred Hollows Foundation can do cataract surgery for $25, why can’t an Australian ophthalmologist?”无法判断澳大利亚眼科医生无法做白内障手术，可知D错误。
