【26】
选项 A、run into
B、encounter
C、face
D、defy
答案C
解析 此题属于语义辨析题。face=need consideration or action by表示“面对，遭遇”，例如： The difficulty that faces us today is one of supplying food to those in need．今天我们所面临的困难是向那些需要的人提供食物。根据原句意思：医生或医院如果在医疗过程中出了差错的话，就可能面临巨额罚金，因此，这种financial risk是他们可能面对的，故选项Cface符合题意。选项Arun into表示“偶遇”
