2026 考研英语易错题：上下文语义推断辨析

阅读以下段落，回答问题：

The rapid digitization of healthcare has ushered in new possibilities for remote diagnosis and treatment, yet it has also raised concerns about data privacy. Patients often hesitate to share sensitive medical information due to fears of breaches, while healthcare providers struggle to balance technological innovation with regulatory compliance. This tension has slowed the widespread adoption of telemedicine, despite its potential to improve access to care in underserved areas.

The word “tension” in the passage refers to the conflict between:
A. Technological advancement and patient resistance
B. Data privacy concerns and regulatory requirements
C. Innovation benefits and implementation challenges
D. Urban healthcare access and rural service gaps

解析：
本题考查对特定词汇在语境中所指对象的准确推断，需结合上下文逻辑关系分析。

• 段落先指出医疗数字化带来远程诊疗的新可能，接着用 “yet” 转折提出数据隐私担忧：患者因害怕信息泄露不愿分享数据，医疗提供者需平衡技术创新与合规要求。
• “tension” 前文分别阐述了 telemedicine 的 “potential to improve access”（创新益处）和 “fears of breaches”“struggle to balance”（实施挑战），因此该词指代的是创新带来的好处与实际推行中的困难之间的矛盾。选项 C 符合这一逻辑关联。
• 干扰项 A（技术进步与患者抵制）仅片面提及患者态度，忽略提供者的合规困境；B（隐私担忧与法规要求）混淆了 “平衡创新与合规” 的表述，并非两者直接冲突；D（城乡医疗差距）是 telemedicine 的潜在解决对象，并非文中 “tension” 所指的矛盾。

答案：C
