问题 America spends 17% of GDP on health care, the highest of any rich country, but in return achieves an average life expectancy no better than that of the formerly communist countries of Eastern Europe. Even Americans with good insurance plans find dealing with their providers maddening.

选项 A、infuriating
B、amazing
C、breathtaking
D、frustrating

答案 A

解析 这两句话的意思是:美国将国内生产总值的17%用于医疗保健,这是所有富裕国家中最高的,但结果却是美国的平均预期寿命并不比前东欧共产主义国家高;即使是有着良好投保计划的美国人也会发现与他们的保险商打交道令人恼火。画线词maddening意为“极其讨厌的、极其令人恼火的”;infuriating意为“极其讨厌的、极其令人恼火的”;amazing意为“令人惊愕的、令人惊叹的”;breathtaking意为“扣人心弦的、激动人心的”;frustrating意为“令人懊丧(懊恼、沮丧)的”。根据句意,A为正确答案。
