问题     The health-care economy is replete with unusual and even
unique economic relationships. One of the least understanding【S1】______
involves the peculiar roles of producer or "provider" and purchaser
or "consumer" in the typical doctor-patient relationship. In most
sectors of the economy, it is the seller attempts to attract a potential【S2】______
buyer with various inducements of price, quality, and utility, or it【S3】______
is the buyer who makes the decision. Where circumstances permit
the buyer choice because there is effectively only one seller and the【S4】______
product is relatively essential, government usually asserts monopoly
and places the industry under price and other regulations. Both of【S5】______
these conditions prevails in most of the health-care industry.
    In the health-care industry, the doctor-patient relationship is
the mirror image of the ordinary relationship with producer and【S6】______
consumer. Once an individual has chosen to see a physicist—and【S7】______
even then there may be no real choice—it is the physician who
usually makes all significant purchasing decisions; whether the
patient should return " next Wednesday" , whether X-rays are
needed, whether drugs should be prescribed, etc. It is rare and【S8】______
sophisticated patient who will challenge such professional decisions
or raise at advance questions about price, especially when the【S9】______
ailment is regarded as serious.
    This is particularly significant in relation to hospital care. The
physician must certify the need for hospitalization, determine what
procedures will be performed, and announce when the patient may
be discharged. The patient may be consulted about some of these
decisions, but in main it is the doctor’s judgments that are final.【S10】______ [br] 【S5】
选项
答案 Both—Neither
解析 语义错误。上文提到“在大多数经济领域，卖方通过价格、质量和效用等各种办法来吸引潜在的客户，买方最终做出决定。当只有一个卖方且产品对买家来说非常重要时，政府就认定这种情况为垄断，会对这个行业施行价格和其他方面的管控。”但文章第一句就指出“医疗保健经济充满了特殊性，甚至是独一无二的”。由此可知，大多数经济领域中的情况不适用于医疗保健经济，因此此处要用表否定意义的Neither。
