问题     In a sweeping overall inspection of its $21 billion Medicaid program, the Florida Legislature approved a bill to shift nearly three million Medicaid recipients into managed-care programs【C1】________saving money and improving services.
    "Medicaid has grown faster than any other part of our budget," said State Senator Joe Negron, who took the【C2】________on the bill. "It is【C3】________out funding for education, economic development and other parts of the budget that are equally【C4】________."
    If signed into law as expected, the bill will make Florida,【C5】________one of the largest number of Medicaid patients and a high rate of those who are not insured, one of the biggest states to jump【C6】________entirely from a traditional Medicaid payment system into managed care.
    The bill, a【C7】________between the House and the Senate versions, would allow the state to decide how much to spend on Medicaid each year,【C8】________in the profits of managed-care companies if they exceed 5 percent and punish networks that【C9】________contracts. To help ensure【C10】________care for patients, the bill would【C11】________require plans to include specialists and provide higher refund rates to doctors.
    Patients would be charged $10 monthly premiums and $100【C12】________they showed up at the emergency room with a non-emergency. The state and managed-care companies would control which services to provide to Medicaid patients. In so doing, the legislation would【C13】________the existing fee-for-service system, in which the state pays providers for each service, a practice that has led to widespread care【C14】________. Refund rates have dropped so low that many doctors【C15】________not to treat Medicaid patients. The Legislature’s bill seeks to【C16】________those issues with the requirement that plans include specialists and the higher repayment rates to doctors.
    Another good news for doctors and hospitals is a【C17】________that limits the amount they would have to pay out in【C18】________caused by not proper practice, for pain and suffering to $300,000 for each Medicaid claimant. Senator Negron said the upper limit was【C19】________because doctors who treat Medicaid patients are basically providing a public service and should be【C20】________to do so.
【C10】
选项 A、better
B、more
C、intensive
D、average
答案A
解析 此处需要一个形容词来修饰care(照料)。根据下文，法案要求制定吸纳专科医师的计划。可知是想确保为病人提供更好的医疗服务，选A项better“更好的”。对于一般的病人，适当的照料就能得到更好的治疗效果，而无需实施更多的照顾，所以B项more“更多的”排除掉。而C项intensive“特别的”，特别护理只是针对重症病人，而本句并没有特指重病人员。现行的医疗水平不至于差到连普通的水准都达不到，D项average“平均的”用于句中不是太合理。
