问题     Most economies in the US seem captivated by the spell of the free
market. Consequently, nothing seems good or normal which does not【S1】________
accord with the requirements of the free market. A price that is
determined by the seller or, for that matter, establishing by anyone other【S2】________
than the aggregate of consumers seemly harmful. Accordingly, it【S3】________
requires a major act of will to think of price-fixing(the determination of
prices by the seller)as both normal or having a valuable economic【S4】________
function. In fact, price-fixing is normal at all industrialized societies if【S5】________
the industrial system itself provides, as an effortless consequence of its
own development, the price-fixing that they requires. Modern industrial【S6】________
planning requires and rewards great size. Hence, a comparatively small
number of large firms will be competing for the same group of
consumers. Each large firm will act with full consideration of the needs
that it has in the common with other large firms competing for the same【S7】________
customers. Each large firm will nevertheless avoid significant price-【S8】________
cutting, because price-cutting would be prejudicial to the common
interest in a stable demand for products. Most economists do not see
price-fixing when it occurs because they expect it to be brought about by
number of explicit agreements among large firms；it is not. 【S9】________
    Moreover, those economists who argue that allowing the free
market to operate without interference is the most efficient method of
establishing prices has not considered the economies of non-socialist【S10】________
countries other than the US. These economies employ intentional price-
fixing, usually in an overt fashion.

选项
答案∧number—a
解析 冠词缺失。a number of是固定词组，表示“一些，很多”，本句意思是“大多数经济学家看不到价格垄断的发生，因为他们认为价格垄断是由大公司之间达成一些明确的协议之后才会发生的，但是事实并非如此。”可见这里的a number of修饰agreements。
