　　Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

　　A class action lawsuit has been filed against a prominent Toronto doctor by patients who allege he injected a banned substance into their faces for cosmetic purposes. The doctor had already been investigated for more than three years for using the liquid silicone, a product not authorized for use in Canada.

　　Some patients say they are now suffering health problems and think the liquid silicone may be to blame. One of those patients is Anna Barbiero. She says her Toronto dermatologist told her he was using liquid silicone to smooth out wrinkles. What she says he didn't tell her is that it isn't approved for use in Canada. “I didn't know what liquid silicone was and he just called it‘liquid gold’.” Barbiero remembers. After her last treatment, Anna discovered Dr. Sheldon Pollack had been ordered to stop using the silicone two years earlier by Health Canada. Experts say silicone can migrate through the body, and cause inflammation and deformities.

　　“My upper lip is always numb and it burns,” Barbiero says. Barbiero is spearheading (带头) a lawsuit against the doctor, who her lawyer thinks might involve up to 100 patients injected with the same material. “The fact, a physician of his stature would use an unauthorized product on a patient because he thought it was okay, is really very disturbing," says lawyer Douglas Elliott.

　　Ontario's College of Physicians and Surgeons is also investigating Dr. Pollack to see if, in fact, he continued to use the silicone after agreeing to stop and whether he wrote in patient records that he used another legal product when he used silicone. However, in a letter to the College, Dr. Pollack wrote that he had always told patients that the silicone was not approved cet6w.com, and had warned them of the risks. And in Barbiero's case, “... at the time of her first visit, prior to her ever receiving IGLS treatment, I specifically informed her that the material was not approved cet6w.com by the Health Protection Branch and that I did receive the material from outside the country... I would like to emphasize that, as is evident on Ms. Barbiero's chart, I drew a specific diagram on the chart which I carefully discussed with and explained to Ms. Barbiero as I did with every other patient to explain the nature and likelihood of complications and the reasons and consequences of those possible complications. "

　　Dr. Pollack declined to speak to CTV News, or to have his lawyer discuss the case. None of the allegations have been proven in court. But the case raises questions about the ability of governing bodies to monitor doctors. “There's a larger message and that is: buyer beware,” says Nancy Neilsen of Cosmetic Surgery Canada, “It's incumbent (负有义务的) on consumers to do their research. ”

　　Passage Three

　　文章精要：文章围绕多伦多市一位著名医生用违禁材料为患者做面部美容的案例展开， 描述了病人对该医生的指控， 以及医生对此的辩解， 进而提出了有关机构监管医生和病人知情权的问题。

　　31. B 细节题。文章第一段第一句指出， 患者对一位多伦多著名的医生(Dr. Sheldon Pollack)提起了集体诉讼， 指责他使用违禁材料做面部美容， 故选B。

　　32. D 语义题。由文章第二段第三句中的wrinkles(皱纹)可知， Barbiero的dermatologist使用液体硅胶抚平皱纹， 由此推断， dermatologist应为“皮肤科医生”， 故选D。

　　33. A 细节题。文章第四段第一句指出， 安大略医学院正在调查Dr. Pollack， 以便弄清他在同意停用液体硅胶后是否还在继续使用， 以及他是否在使用硅胶的同时在患者的病历上写上另一种合法产品的名称， 所以A正确。

　　34. D 推断题。文章第三段第一句指出， Barbiero说她的上唇麻木并有烧灼感， 由此推断， 她经受了很多痛苦， 所以D正确; A、 B项属于Dr. Pollack的辩解之词， 具有争议性， 应排除; C项是对Barbiero的律师Elliott提出存在的问题的曲解， 也应排除。

　　35. C 推断题。由文章最后一段第二、 三句可知， 任何主张都没有被法庭采纳， 同时这个案子还提出了相关机构对医生的能力进行监管的问题， 但并没有说这些机构将被起诉， 所以选C。
