1.[B]事实细节题。仔细读完第2段后半部分,不难发现hypochondria只是瞎猜疑，故选项B正确。时常怀疑自己生病是医务人员的职业病，但为此困扰的并不仅仅是他们，因为第2段第3句说：“But...whosufferfromtruehypochondria...”，说明医务人员不是真正的疑病症患者,故选项A不正确。选项C过于极端。选项D是对原文断章取义。
2.[D]主旨大意题。第1段以举例方式引入主题，第2段对hypochondria下定义，第3段则论述其对医疗保健体系造成的干扰，选项D正确全面地概括了文章大意，为正确答案。全文的中心词是hypochondria,在四个选项中，干扰项(选项A、B、C)都出现了该词，只有正确选项(选项D)没有直接使用该词。
3.[D]事实细节题。根据文中的“becausenophysicianortestcanoffera100%guaranteethatonedoesn’thavecancer...”即可得出选项D正确。原文虽有表示“咳嗽确实存在”，但这并不意味着医生不能治好类似的小毛病，因此选项A不正确。误选C是没有正确理解短语fallondeafears,该固定表达的意思是“充耳不闻”。
4.[B]推理判断题。句中thanksto是讽刺的用法，引出原因，故选项B正确。本题考查因果关系，要辨别明显的因果关系，只要关注文中是否有because,reason,dueto,thanksto,result等词即可。
5.[C]观点态度题。从作者对hypochondria的描述可以看出此病只是源于多疑，并非生理上的不治之症，因此只要病人们放宽心，此病就能痊愈。故选项C正确。选项A的incurable和B的disastrous都太绝对，比较容易排除。而本文基调较为客观，作者没有表露个人情感，故选项D也不正确。
