【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，有时候病人的病并不是需要真正的药物来医治，而是需要医生开一些安慰的药剂，安慰病人的心理使病人的情绪得到舒缓，从而有利于病情的痊愈。

（1）考查细节理解。

纵观全文可知，一些医生仍然认为，如果安慰剂有坏的影响，它应该永远不会被使用，他们认为对安慰剂仍然没有足够的了解。

所以此处的it是指的安慰剂。

故选A。

（2）考查推理判断。

根据第二段中的“Aplaceboisasugarpill，aharmlessshot，orailemptycapsule．”可知安慰剂不会起到医学上的作用。

故选B。

（3）考查细节理解。

根据文章的描述有时候病人是不需要使用药物的，医生给病人开出安慰剂，病人觉得安慰剂有很大的作用是因为他们很相信医生。

故选B。

（4）考查主旨大意。

本文讲述的是有时候病人的病并不是需要真正的药物来医治，而是需要医生开一些安慰的药剂，这时候就会安慰病人的心理，病人的情绪得到舒缓从而有利于病情的痊愈。

这被叫做安慰剂。

通常是空的甜胶囊，作用于病人的心理，帮助他们调节心情，从而有利于病情痊愈。

故选A。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇生活类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
