In talks about reducing the nation’s exploding health care costs, the word "rationing" strikes fear into the hearts of both patients and doctors. Why, many people ask, shouldn’t the richest country in the world spend【C1】______is necessary to protect and preserve its citizens’ health? This is the philosophy【C2】______which our health care system operates, and it【C3】______to bankrupt us without【C4】______improving our health. In more【C5】______than many people realize, doing more medically can be worse than doing less. Too【C6】______, costly, overly aggressive medical care causes more pain and suffering than if nothing had been done at all.
Our【C7】______and demands of health care must change, and we must【C8】______with the incentives for tremendous waste that are now【C9】______into the system. A growing body of research【C10】______that about 30 percent of what is now spent on medical tests and procedures is wasteful,【C11】______to benefit anyone except those whose pockets are【C12】______as a result.【C13】______this waste is curbed, rationing will almost certainly become a reality in the not-too-distant future.
Patients don’t want to be【C14】______a test or treatment that they or their doctors believe could improve their health or save their lives — no matter what the【C15】______.

选项
A、odds
B、aims
C、means
D、returns
答案
A
解析
本题考查句内语义。空格所在部分是no matter what引导的让步状语从句,注意从句中省略了与前相同的系动词is,由此可知该让步状语从句修饰doing whatever is possible动名词结构,说明的仍然是现今人们不顾一切、为一项治疗愿倾尽所有的做法。odds代入文中,指“无论成功几率如何,都愿一试”,符合文意。其他项代入,“成功的目的、带来的回报”,均无法与文意衔接;而means代入,“无论成功的手段是什么”与doing whatever is possible语义重复,应排除。
