What’s Lacking in ’ Sicko ’?
When it comes to economic decisions, there are always trade-offs (取舍). Gain one thing and you lose something else. (46)______
The central argument of Michael Moore’s movie "Sicko" - that the cure to the nation’s health care problems is a single-payer system - is hardly novel and is certainly worth consideration, whether or not you agree with it. But in comparing the American system with single-payer plans of other countries - Britain, France, Canada and Cuba - Mr. Moore left out the trade-offs, characterizing those countries as health care paradises.
(47)______
Kurt Loder, the film critic who is best known as the anchor (主持人) of "MTV News," wrote a critique (批评) of the film for MTV’s website. "’Sicko,’" he said, "does a real service" in portraying (描绘) victims of American insurance companies - like the people who died because their only treatment options were considered "experimental" and therefore not covered (48)______
When "governments attempt to regulate the balance between a limited supply of health care and an unlimited demand for it, they’re inevitably forced to ration treatment," Mr. Loder asserted (49)______ Mr. Loder cited the short film "Dead Meat," which presents anecdotes (轶事) of failure in the Canadian single-payer system. In its one-sidedness, "Dead Meat" might have made for a nice double feature with "Sicko," and left moviegoers with a more complete understanding of the complications of deciding on a health care system.
(50)______
This all makes an otherwise "emotionally compelling film not necessarily an intellectually satisfying one," wrote Darren Barefoot, a Canadian blogger (博客作者).
A. Mr. Moore also decided to ignore problems in other countries, like France’s high taxes and Britain’s cash-short hospitals.
B. But the film as a whole, he concluded, is "breathtakingly meretricious (似是而非的)," in large part because of its characterizations of other countries’ health care
systems.
C. The problems have been noticed - and criticism is coming not just from Mr. Moore’s detractors (诋毁者).
D. He ticked off a number of negative statistics to counter the positive ones offered by Mr. Moore.
E. Health care is the prevention, treatment, and management of illness.
F. This is particularly true in health care, a market in which scarce (稀罕的) goods are ridiculously expensive, but needed by everybody.
选项
答案
C
解析
这里要填入的是一个段落,可以从它前后两个段落的内容来确定该填入的是那个选项。前面一段讲的是Moore在他的电影"Sicko"里对美国医保体系所表达的观点,他认为单一支付者体系可以解决美国医保体系的问题,但在把美国的医保体系和其他国家的单一支付者体系进行比较时,他没有考虑其中的取舍关系。这一缺失自然会引起注意、招致批评。后面一段是影评家Kurt Loder对该影片的评论,虽然他不诋毁这部影片,但他注意到了该片的不足。在这两段中间填入C明显起到承上启下的作用。
