问题     In a sweeping overall inspection of its $21 billion Medicaid program, the Florida Legislature approved a bill to shift nearly three million Medicaid recipients into managed-care programs【C1】________saving money and improving services.
    "Medicaid has grown faster than any other part of our budget," said State Senator Joe Negron, who took the【C2】________on the bill. "It is【C3】________out funding for education, economic development and other parts of the budget that are equally【C4】________."
    If signed into law as expected, the bill will make Florida,【C5】________one of the largest number of Medicaid patients and a high rate of those who are not insured, one of the biggest states to jump【C6】________entirely from a traditional Medicaid payment system into managed care.
    The bill, a【C7】________between the House and the Senate versions, would allow the state to decide how much to spend on Medicaid each year,【C8】________in the profits of managed-care companies if they exceed 5 percent and punish networks that【C9】________contracts. To help ensure【C10】________care for patients, the bill would【C11】________require plans to include specialists and provide higher refund rates to doctors.
    Patients would be charged $10 monthly premiums and $100【C12】________they showed up at the emergency room with a non-emergency. The state and managed-care companies would control which services to provide to Medicaid patients. In so doing, the legislation would【C13】________the existing fee-for-service system, in which the state pays providers for each service, a practice that has led to widespread care【C14】________. Refund rates have dropped so low that many doctors【C15】________not to treat Medicaid patients. The Legislature’s bill seeks to【C16】________those issues with the requirement that plans include specialists and the higher repayment rates to doctors.
    Another good news for doctors and hospitals is a【C17】________that limits the amount they would have to pay out in【C18】________caused by not proper practice, for pain and suffering to $300,000 for each Medicaid claimant.

【C11】

选项 A、never
B、ever
C、also
D、yet

答案C

解析 本段前面讲到法案的部分规定或要求,如decide how much…和punish networks;这里又提到法案的另一些要求。这里需要表并列关系的词,所以选C项also“还”。前面用了不定式表目的,法案必定会规定一些提高医疗妒理服务的要求,而A项never“绝不”正好相反。B项ever“曾经;在任何时候”,一般用于否定句和疑问句中。D项yet“仍;还”,表示某事未发生,仍有发生的可能性,常用于否定句。
