With a general election looming, his party, and his country, need a different kind of leader.He was, of course, chosen in part as a practised backroom operator who could continue Abe's agenda and was acceptable to the LDP's powerful factions. But Suga lacked distinctive policies of his own reducing mobile phone charges was not enough to capture the public imagination or an independent political base. He sprang a surprise by committing Japan, long a climate change laggard, to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, but other countries had got there first.What is needed for the party election, and then the general election, is a leader with the vision to take on the tasks confronting the country, and the political skills to carry the Japanese public with them. Such a figure would stand the best chance of restoring the kind of stability Japan enjoyed under Abe, rather than the revolving door of premiers it experienced before.【词汇过关】请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。1.recall rkl v. _2.predecessor pridses n. _3.practised præktst adj. _4.agenda dend n. _5.faction fækn n. _6.distinctive dstktv adj. _7.long l adv. _8.laggard læd n. _9.enjoy nd vt. _【词块学习】请从文章中找到下面中文相对应的文词块。1.卸任_2.首相_3.即将到来_4.在某种意义上_5幕后操盘人_6.吸引.的想象力、注意力，引起兴趣_7.使感到意外，使大跌眼镜_8.净零碳排_9.承担.面对的任务_10.最有可能_11.的旋转门、走马灯_拓展练习阅读理解As COVID-19 spread through Japan last spring, a doctor despaired. What shocked him was not the pace of infection, or a lack of protective equipment, but the old systems used to record test results and so track the course of the epidemic. “Even with coronavirus, we're handwriting and faxing,” he complained on Twitter.Japan has excellent health care. Life expectancy at birth is 85 years, the highest in the world. But doctors have been slow to embrace(欣然接受) the efficiencies of information technology, despite Japan's reputation for medical technology. The OECD ranks it last among its members for its management and use of data in health care. A commission of experts convened(召集) by the Asia-Pacific Initiative, a think-tank in Tokyo, declared Japan's response to COVID-19 a “digital defeat”。But the coronavirus is also providing a strong motive for change. The new prime minister, Suga Yoshihide, has made digitising Japan the centerpiece of his economic agenda. The potential benefits are especially big in health care, because costs are rising as the population ages. Spending on health accounted for 11% of GDP last year, up from 7% in 2000.In 2015, the government allowed telemedicine to treat a few conditions, but with less compensation and more paperwork. Predictably, it did not takeoff: less than 1% of all medical institutions offered online consultations in 2018. But many restrictions on telemedicine have been suspended because of the pandemic, sending patients and doctors to their screens.The situation "changed radically", says Hara Seigo, the boss of a telemedicine firm called MICIN, which saw monthly registrations jump ten-fold. Government surveys show the share of institutions using telemedicine has risen to nearly 15% this year.Mr Toyoda, who gave up a career in brain surgery to work in digital health care, hopes that wider adoption of telemedicine will also promote the use of electronic medical records. Japan's medical system is strikingly paper-based. Only 42% of clinics have digitized their data on patients. Linking and analyzing those data could help to reduce costs. Unnecessary procedures would be easier to avoid. The effectiveness of treatments could be measured. For Koizumi Keigo, a doctor who serves two remote islands in Mie prefecture, the expansion of telemedicine has been a huge blessing. Previously, when he was visiting one of the islands, patients on the other were left without a supervising physician. This year he began keeping tabs(密切注意) over video chat. Nurses hold up an iPad at patients' bedsides, while Bluetooth devices monitor blood pressure. That is enough to give him a sense of how his charges are doing. Now, he says, "even the grandmas would like to see more doctors go online".41.Why does the author mention the Japanese doctor in Paragraph 1?A.To show the serious consequences of COVID-19.B.To point out improper use of data in health care.C.To stress the importance of protective equipment.D.To introduce the problem in Japan's medical system.42.What does the underlined word "suspended" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Tightened.B.Paused.C.Placed.D.Relaxed.43.What can electronic medical records help to do?A.To make medical treatments more effective.B.To make the medical system more profitable.C.To help patients keep in touch with their doctors.D.To save the money spent on medical treatments.44.What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A.To show how telemedicine actually works in Japan.B.To explain why telemedicine is on the rise in Japan.C.To illustrate how telemedicine really benefits patients.D.To show how Japanese doctors respond to telemedicine.外刊精选答案【词汇过关】请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。1.recall rkl v. 回想起2.predecessor pridses n. 前任3.practised præktst adj. 老练的4.agenda dend n. 议事日程5.faction fækn n. 派系6.distinctive dstktv adj. 优秀的，杰出的，有差异性的7.long l adv. 一直以来8.laggard læd n. 落后者9.enjoy nd vt. 享有【词块学习】请从文章中找到下面中文相对应的文词块。1.step down卸任2.prime minister首相3.with sth. looming即将到来4.in part在某种意义上5.backroom operator幕后操盘人6.capture one' s imagination吸引.的想象力、注意力，引起兴趣7.spring a surprise使感到意外，使大跌眼镜-zero carbon emission净零碳排9.take on the tasks confronting sb.承担.面对的任务10.stand the best chance最有可能11.the revolving door of sth.的旋转门、走马灯【全文翻译】日本需要一位不同类型的领导者日本首相菅义伟上任仅一年，已决定卸任。这让人想到，之前日本在六年期间曾有过六任首相，直到前任首相安倍晋三上台，才稳固执政近八年。临近大选，菅义伟所在的自民党，乃至整个日本，都需要一位不同类型的领导者。当然，菅义伟当初之所以被选中，某种程度上，是因为他是一名老练的幕后操盘人，可以继续推进安倍的执政日程，而自民党强势派系也能接受。但菅义伟的施政纲领乏善可陈降低移动通信费用并不足以激励公众；而且他也没有自己固定的票仓。菅义伟提出要在2050年之前实现净零碳排放，这个承诺令人意外，因为其他国家已率先提出这一目标，而日本在处理气候变化问题上长期落后。不管是党内选举，还是大选，日本需要的都是这样一位领导人：他/她要有远见，能承担起日本面临的重任，还要有政治手腕，能得民心。这样的人物，才最有可能恢复安倍执政下日本的稳定政局，而不是重演之前的首相“旋转门”。拓展练习阅读理解参考答案41.D 42.B 43.D 44.C 学科网（北京）股份有限公司
