问题     The central problem of economics is to satisfy the people’s and nation’s wants. The problem we are faced with is that our (1) , here identified as money, are (2) . The only way we can resolve our (3) is to make choices. After looking at our resources, we must examine our list of (4) and identify the things we need (5) , those we can postpone, and (6) we cannot afford. As individuals, we face the central problem involved in economics — deciding just how to allocate our limited resources to provide ourselves with the greatest (7) of our wants.
    Nations face the same problem. As a country’s population (8) , the need for more goods and services grows (9) .

Whether the budget meeting is taking place in the family living-room, in the conference room of the corporation (12) of directors, or in the chamber of the House of Representatives in Washington, the basic problem still exists. We need to find (13) of allocating limited resources in order to satisfy unlimited wants.

    In the 1990s, almost all goods are (18) . Only by effort and money can they be (19) in the form people wish.
    Meeting the needs of people and the demands from resources available leads to the basic activity of production. In trying to (20) unlimited wants from limited economic goods, production leads to new problems in economics. [br]
选项
答案 such
解析 结构搭配本句考察得是such...that引入的结果状语从句，such后面跟名词，意为：前者(指free goods)比如：空气和水，数量充裕以至经济学家们根本没有关注这类东西匮乏的，也不知对此应怎么办。因此应填such。
