问题     Most people would be【71】by the high quality of medicine【72】to most Americans. There is a lot of specialization, a great deal of【73】to the individual, a【74】amount of advanced technical equipment, and【75】effort not to make mistakes because of the financial risk which doctors and hospitals must【76】in the courts if they【77】things badly.
    But the Americans are in a mess. The problem is the way in【78】health care is organized and【79】.【80】to pubic belief it is not just a free competition system. The private system has been joined by a large public system, because private care wag simply not【81】the less fortunate and the elderly.
    But even with this huge public part of the system,【82】this year will eat up 84.5 billion dollars—more than 10 percent of the U. S. budget, large numbers of Americans are left【83】. These include about half the 11 million unemployed and those who fail to meet the strict limits【84】income fixed by a government trying to save where it can.
    The basic problem, however, is that there is no central control【85】the health system. There is no【86】to what doctors and hospitals charge for their services, other than what the public is able to pay. The number of doctors has shot up and prices have climbed. When faced with a toothache, a sick child, or a heart attack, all the unfortunate persons concerned can do is【87】up. Two thirds of the population【88】covered by medical insurance. Doctors charge as much as they want【89】that the insurance company will pay the bill.
    The rising cost of medicine in the U. S. A. is among the most worrying problems facing the country. In 198l the Country’s health bill climbed 15.9 percent—about twice as fast as prices【90】general.

选项 A、over
B、out
C、off
D、away

答案B

解析 语意搭配题。leave... out意为“省略,忽略,不考虑”,例如:The entire chapter was left out of the third edition.原文意为:虽然有庞大的公共医疗保障体系,但仍有许多美国人享受不到该保障,即被忽略 (leave out)了,故选项B out正确。选项A over (leave over)意为“留下,剩下,延期”;选项C off (leave off)意为“使停止,不再穿/使用”;选项D away不与leave连用。句意:但是,即使有庞大的公共医疗保障体系——今年它将花掉845亿美元——相当多的美国人仍无法享受到医疗保障。
