网考网解析：
本句考查的是语法。根据所给的动词，我们可以猜到本句想说的是“Joshua Salomon说，疗程较短的治疗计划可能意味着不仅仅是更多病人被治好”。这里从语法分析，应该是缺一个定语修饰patients。cure是一个及物动问，病人应是被治疗者。B项to cure不能表示被动；C和D虽然有表示被动的意思，但是C是“正在被治疗”，D是“已经被治疗”，两者隐含的时态在这里均不合适，只有A才是恰当的。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
