Radical cuts to social welfare spending to reduce budget deficits could cause not just economic pain but cost lives, warn experts. While there is a major debate【C1】______way about the potential economic impacts of radical budget cuts in Europe, David Stuckler from the University of Oxford and his colleagues analyze the【C2】______of public spending on people’s health.
Their analysis shows that【C3】______of social spending in Europe are strongly【C4】______with risks of death, especially from diseases【C5】______to social circumstances, such as heart attacks and alcohol-induced illness. As【C6】______, they argue that, although governments may feel they are protecting health by【C7】______healthcare budgets, social welfare spending is as important, if not【C8】______so, for population health. They analyzed the【C9】______between the trends in these data and social spending. They found that when social spending was【C10】______, mortality rates (死亡率) fell, but when they were low, mortality rates rose substantially.
The researchers found that spending on social welfare to【C11】______health, and not simply healthcare, had the【C12】______impact on public health. However, they also found that【C13】______spending on non-welfare sources, such as military or prisons, had【C14】______such negative impact on the public health.
This result indicates that some aspects of population health are【C15】______to spending on social support.【C16】______health and social welfare programs appear to be a(n)【C17】______determinant of future population health that should be【C18】______into account in ongoing economic debates.
This report reveals【C19】______ordinary people may be paying the ultimate price for budget cuts— potentially costing them their lives. If we want to promote a sustainable【C20】______in Britain, we must first ensure that we have taken care of people’s most basic health needs.
【C20】

B、reform
C、evolution
D、diversification

A
解析
名词辨析题。本文开篇提到减少社会福利开支对经济并没有好处,说明文章所处的背景是在英国经济萧条时期,因此,在文章结尾时应与之相呼应,说明如果我们想促进英国经济的持续复苏,就不能不考虑人们的基本需求,观察四个选项只有recovery“复苏”最符合句意。reform“改革”;evolution“进化”;diversification“多样性”。
