2017年5月六级口语考试真题：小组讨论“过度医疗”

2017年5月大学英语六级口语考试中，第七场小组讨论(group discussion)的话题为“过度医疗”。过度医疗是当今社会确实存在的现象，也是最近几年国内外的热点话题，这一话题对于考生来说会有一点难度，下面为大家提供一组讨论，供大家参考。

A: What do you think of medical overuse? Do you think it necessary for patients?

B: I am against medical overuse. In many hospitals, doctors tend to take their patients for overtreatment, no matter how serious their illnesses are. It’s not fair for patients.

A: I don’t think it is necessary, either. Some hospitals are eager to earn more money from their patients, so they give their patients extra treatment and make them buy extra medicine.

B: That’s immoral. Patients don’t need extra treatment. That wastes their money.

A: Right. And it is a waste of medical resources, too. We could have saved the resources for those who are really in need.

B: I can’t agree more. It is necessary for hospitals to get rid of medical overuse, and save the resources for those who are really in need.

A: It is high time that relative regulations should be made to supervise the hospitals.

B: You are right.
