问题     Directions: There are 10 questions in this part of the test. Read the passage through. Then, go back and choose one suitable word or phrase marked A, B, C, or D for each blank in the passage.
The health-care economy is filled with unusual and even unique economic relationships. One of the least understood involves the  (41)   roles of producer or "provider" and purchaser or "consumer" in the typical doctor-patient relationship.

选项 A、Before
B、Because
C、Unless
D、Once
答案D
解析 空格所在的从句的意思是：……一个人已经决定看医生。主句的意思是：通常是医生在做出重要的……决定。从逻辑关系看，空格中应填入一个表示时间关系的连词。Before和Once均表示时间关系，但根据句意应选择D项Once。Because和Unless分别表示原因和条件，不符合上下文的逻辑关系。
