...the 'patient' can be programmed to be allergic to certain medicine and can 14 serious reactions if student learners are not aware of the situation.
答案：(D) suffer from
suffer from 意為「出現、遭受（不良反應）」：虛擬病人可被設定成對某種藥物過敏，若學習者未察覺就會出現嚴重反應；adapt to（適應）、break into（闖入）、provide with（提供）語意都不合。
答對率 34%。
suffer 你大概只記得「受苦」，而且直覺以為主詞一定是人。其實 suffer from 的主詞可以是任何承受負面狀況的一方，本句主詞是那個虛擬病人（the "patient"）：can suffer serious reactions ＝ 會出現嚴重反應。
suffer from 用於疾病或長期困擾（suffer from a headache／depression）；若後面接的是一次性的損失或後果，from 可以省略：suffer serious injuries／heavy losses（遭受重傷／重大損失）。
provide with 是「提供」，但句型是 provide sb with sth，主詞該是提供者，本句主詞是承受的一方，方向顛倒；adapt to 是「適應」，break into 是「闖入」。
suffer from a disease（罹患疾病）、suffer losses／injuries（遭受損失／傷害）、be allergic to（對…過敏）、provide sb with sth（提供某人某物）。
Keele University in the United Kingdom has developed a "virtual patient," created by a computer, to help train the pharmacists of the future. Students in the university's School of 11 work with the "patient" to gain experience in effective communication and decision-making.
Students talk with the "patient" directly or by typing questions into a computer. The "patient" responds verbally or with gestures to indicate 12 such as pain, stress or anxiety. As a result, students are forced to communicate clearly 13 that the "patient" understands them completely.
The Virtual Patient can also be used to explore various medical situations. For example, the "patient" can be programmed to be allergic to certain medicine and can 14 serious reactions if student learners are not aware of the situation. This kind of practice allows students to learn from mistakes in a safe environment that would not be 15 with textbooks alone. The unique system can both be used in a classroom setting or for distance learning.
