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.
【C13】
选项
A、reducing
B、increasing
C、keeping
D、managing
答案
A
解析
动词辨析题。此句出现However,说明情况与上句相反。既然上句说增加社会福利方面的开支对人们的健康有好处,那么本句中表示的则是“减少”非福利资源,如军事或监狱,对人们的健康没什么大的负面影响,因此选择reducing“减少”。increasing“增加”,keeping“保持”,managing“管理”,均不符合文中的意思。
