There is a lot of specialization, a great deal of 23 to the individual, a 24 a-mount of advanced technical equipment, and 25 effort not to make mistakes because of the financial risk which doctors and hospitals must 26 in the courts if they 27 things badly.
    But the Americans are in a mess. The problem is the way in 28 health care is organized and 29. 30 to pubic belief it is not just a free competition system. The private system has been joined a large public system, because private care was simply not 31 the less fortunate and the elderly.
    But even with this huge public part of the system, 32 this year will eat up 84. 5 billion dollars—more than 10 percent of the U. S. Budget—large number of Americans are left 33 These include about half the 11 million unemployed and those who fail to meet the strict limits 34 income fixed by a government trying to make savings where it can.

选项 A、run into
B、encounter
C、face
D、defy
答案C
解析 此题属于语义辨析题。face=need consideration or action by表示“面对，遭遇”，例如：The difficulty that faces us today is one of supplying food to those in need．今天我们所面临的困难是向那些需要的人提供食物。根据原句意思：医生或医院如果在医疗过程中出了差错的话，就可能面临巨额罚金，因此，这种financial risk是他们可能面对的，故选项[C]face符合题意。选项[A]run into表示“偶遇”；选项[B]encounter(较正式)表示“遭遇，突然遇到”；选项[D]defy表示“公然反抗，蔑视”，均无法与句中risk连用。
