Directions:
In the following text, some sentenceshave been removed. For Questions 41-45, choose the most suitable one from thelist A-G to fit into each of the numbered blanks. Thereare two extra choices,which do not fit in any of the gaps. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1. (10 points)
Canada’s premiers (the leaders of provincial governments), if they have any breath leftafter complaining about Ottawa at their late July annual meeting, might spare a moment to do something, together, to reduce health-care costs.
They’re all groaning about soaring health budgets, the fastest-growing component of which arepharmaceutical costs.
41. ____[E] According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information,preion drug costs have risen since 1997 at twice the rate of overallhealth-care spending. Part of the increase comes from drugs being used toreplace other kinds of treatments. Part of it arises from new drugs costingmore than older kinds. Part of it is higher prices.____
What to do? Both the Romanow commission and the Kirby committee on health care -- to saynothing of reports from other experts -- recommended the creation of a nationaldrug agency. Instead of each province having its own list of approved drugs,bureaucracy, procedures and limited bargaining power, all would pool resources,work with Ottawa, and create a national institution.
42. ____[C] What does “national” mean? Roy Romanow and Senator MichaelKirby recommended a federal-provincial body much like the recently createdNational Health Council.____
But “national”doesn’t have to mean that. “National” could mean interprovincial -- provincescombining efforts to create one body.
Either way,one benefit of a “national” organization would be to negotiate better prices,if possible, with drug manufacturers. Instead of having one province -- or aseries of hospitals within a province -- negotiate a price for a given drug onthe provincial list, the national agency would negotiate on behalf of allprovinces.
Rather than,say, Quebec, negotiating on behalf of seven million people, the national agencywould negotiate on behalf of 31 million people. Basic economics suggests thegreater the potential consumers, the higher the likelihood of a better price.
43. ____[G] Of course the pharmaceutical companies will scream. They likedivided buyers; they can lobby better that way. They can use the threat ofremoving jobs from one province to another. They can hope that, if one provinceincludes a drug on its list, the pressure will cause others to include it ontheirs. They wouldn’t like a national agency, but self-interest would lead themto deal with it.____
A small step has been taken in the direction of a national agency with the creation of theCanadian Co-ordinating Office for Health Technology Assessment, funded byOttawa and the provinces. Under it, a Common Drug Review recommends toprovincial lists which new drugs should be included. Predictably, andregrettably, Quebec refused to join.
A few premiers are suspicious of any federal-provincial deal-making. They (particularly Quebecand Alberta) just want Ottawa to fork over additional billions with few, if any, strings attached. That’s one reason why the idea of a national list hasn’t gone anywhere, while drug costs keep rising fast.
44. ____[F] So, if the provinces want to run the health-care show, theyshould prove they can run it, starting with an interprovincial health list thatwould end duplication, save administrative costs, prevent one province frombeing played off against another, and bargain for better drug prices.____
Premiers loveto quote Mr. Romanow’s report selectively, especially the parts about more federal money. Perhaps they should read what he had to sayabout drugs:“A national drug agency would provide governments more influence on pharmaceutical companiesin order to constrain the ever-increasing cost of drugs.”
45. ____[B] Or they could read Mr. Kirby’s report: “the substantialbuying power of such an agency would strengthen the public preion-druginsurance plans to negotiate the lowest possible purchase prices from drugcompanies.”____
So whenthe premiersgather in Niagara Falls to assemble their usual complaint list, they should also get cracking about something in their jurisdiction that would helptheir budgets and patients.
[A]Quebec’s resistance to a national agency is provincialist ideology. One of thefirst advocates for a national list was a researcher at Laval University.Quebec’s Drug Insurance Fund has seen its costs skyrocket with annual increasesfrom 14.3 per cent to 26.8 per cent!
[B] Or they could read Mr. Kirby’s report: “the substantial buying power of such anagency would strengthen the public preion-drug insurance plans tonegotiate the lowest possible purchase prices from drug companies.”
[C]What does “national” mean? Roy Romanow and Senator Michael Kirby recommended afederal-provincial body much like the recently created National Health Council.
[D] The problem is simple and stark: health-care costshave been, are, and will continue to increase faster than government revenues.
[E] According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, preiondrug costs have risen since 1997 at twice the rate of overall health-care spending.Part of the increase comes from drugs being used to replace other kinds oftreatments. Part of it arises from new drugs costing more than older kinds.Part of it is higher prices.
[F] So,if the provinces want to run the health-care show, they should prove they canrun it, starting with an interprovincial health list that would endduplication, save administrative costs, prevent one province from being playedoff against another, and bargain for better drug prices.
[G] Of course,the pharmaceuticalcompanies willscream. They like divided buyers; they can lobby better that way. They can usethe threat of removing jobs from one province to another. They can hope that,if one province includes a drug on its list, the pressure will cause others toinclude it on theirs. They wouldn’t like a national agency, but self-interestwould lead them to deal with it.

新题型做题注意事项
新题型在做题的过程中，除过“标题选择题”外，基本上靠的就是逻辑。因此大家一定要把我在语音中提到的新题型常用逻辑关系找清楚。大家做题的时候，静下心来，一个逻辑一个逻辑的对照，基本都是能找出来的。有的同学着急，囫囵吞枣的看，当然看不到逻辑啦！因此，一遍没有找出来，你就告诉自己，仔细一点，找第二遍。
标题选择题，需要说的只有一句话：在干扰项没有排除完之前，至少两句话对应一个答案才可以选择，否则不能选。
