问题     Most economies in the United States seem captivated by the
spell of the free market. Consequently, nothing seems good or
normal which does not accord with the requirements of the free【S1】______
market. A price that is determined by the seller or, for that matter,
establishing by anyone other than the aggregate of consumers【S2】______
seemly harmful. Accordingly, it requires a major act of will to think【S3】______
of price-fixing(the determination of prices by the seller)as both
normal or having a valuable economic function. In fact, price-fixing【S4】______
is normal at all industrialized societies if the industrial system itself【S5】______
provides, as an effortless consequence of its own development, the
price-fixing that they requires. Modern industrial planning requires【S6】______
and rewards great size. Hence, a comparatively small number of
large firms will be competing for the same group of consumers. Each
large firm will act with full consideration of the needs that it has in
the common with other large firms competing for the same【S7】______
customers. Each large firm will nevertheless avoid significant price-【S8】______
cutting, because price-cutting would be prejudicial to the common
interest in a stable demand for products. Most economists do not see
price-fixing when it occurs because they expect it to be brought
about by number of explicit agreements among large firms; it is not.【S9】______
    Moreover, those economists who argue that allowing the free
market to operate without interference is the most efficient method of
establishing prices has not considered the economies of non-socialist【S10】______
countries other than the United States. These economies employ
intentional price-fixing, usually in an overt fashion.
【S5】
选项
答案if—because
解析 连词误用。本句的主句说“价格垄断在工业社会中是正常的”，从句说“工业体制本身就提供了它所需要的、由其自身发展的毫不费力就产生的价格垄断”。可见从句是解释主句的原因，因此应该使用连词because。
