问题     Consumers and producers obviously make decisions that mold the economy, but there is a third major【C1】______to consider, the role of government. Government has a powerful【C2】______on the economy in at least four ways:
    Direct Services. The postal system, for example, is a federal system【C3】______ the entire nation, as is the large and complex establishment. Conversely the【C4】______and maintenance of most highways is the responsibility of the individual states, and the public educational systems, 【C5】______ a large funding role by the federal government, are primarily【C6】______for by state or city governments. Police and fire protection and sanitation services are【C7】______the responsibilities of local government.
    Regulation and Control. The government regulates and controls private enterprise, in many ways, for the【C8】______of assuring that business serves the best interests of the people【C9】______a whole. Regulation is【C10】______in areas where private enterprise is【C11】______a monopoly, such as in telephone or electric service. Public policy【C12】______ such companies to make a reasonable profit,【C13】______limits their ability to raise prices unfairly, since the public depends on their services. Often control is exercised to protect the public, as for example, when the Food and Drug Administration bans【C14】______drugs, or requires standards of 【C15】______in food.
    Stabilization and Growth. Branches of government including Congress attempt to control the extremes of boom and bust of inflation and depression, by【C16】______tax rates, the money supply, and the use of credit. They can also【C17】______the economy through changes in the amount of public spending by the government itself.
    Direct Assistance. The government【C18】______businesses and individuals with many kinds of help. For example, tariffs permit certain products to remain relatively【C19】______of foreign competition; imports are sometimes taxed【C20】______American products are able to compete better with certain foreign goods.
【C5】
选项 A、besides
B、despite
C、beyond
D、under
答案B
解析 空格所在部分意为“联邦政府付了一大笔钱”，既然提到联邦政府付了大笔钱(a large funding role)，若是顺承关系的，后面就不会出现“公共教育系统主要是由州和市政府付钱”这样的说法，故推断两者存在转折让步关系，选B项despite“尽管”，代入文中意为：尽管联邦政府也投入大量资金，公共教育系统的支出主要由州及市政府承担。
