Why, many people ask, shouldn’t the richest country in the world spend【C1】______is necessary to protect and preserve its citizens’ health? This is the philosophy【C2】______which our health care system operates, and it【C3】______to bankrupt us without【C4】______improving our health. In more【C5】______than many people realize, doing more medically can be worse than doing less. Too【C6】______, costly, overly aggressive medical care causes more pain and suffering than if nothing had been done at all.
Our【C7】______and demands of health care must change, and we must【C8】______with the incentives for tremendous waste that are now【C9】______into the system. A growing body of research【C10】______that about 30 percent of what is now spent on medical tests and procedures is wasteful,【C11】______to benefit anyone except those whose pockets are【C12】______as a result.【C13】______this waste is curbed, rationing will almost certainly become a reality in the not-too-distant future.

选项
A、odds
B、aims
C、means
D、returns
答案
A
解析
本题考查句内语义。空格所在部分是no matter what引导的让步状语从句,注意从句中省略了与前相同的系动词is,由此可知该让步状语从句修饰doing whatever is possible动名词结构,说明的仍然是现今人们不顾一切、为一项治疗愿倾尽所有的做法。odds代入文中,指“无论成功几率如何,都愿一试”,符合文意。其他项代入,“成功的目的、带来的回报”,均无法与文意衔接;而means代入,“无论成功的手段是什么”与doing whatever is possible语义重复,应排除。
