问题     In a sweeping overall inspection of its $21 billion Medicaid program, the Florida Legislature approved a bill to shift nearly three million Medicaid recipients into managed-care programs【C1】________saving money and improving services.
    "Medicaid has grown faster than any other part of our budget," said State Senator Joe Negron, who took the【C2】________on the bill. "It is【C3】________out funding for education, economic development and other parts of the budget that are equally【C4】________."
    If signed into law as expected, the bill will make Florida,【C5】________one of the largest number of Medicaid patients and a high rate of those who are not insured, one of the biggest states to jump【C6】________entirely from a traditional Medicaid payment system into managed care.
    The bill, a【C7】________between the House and the Senate versions, would allow the state to decide how much to spend on Medicaid each year,【C8】________in the profits of managed-care companies if they exceed 5 percent and punish networks that【C9】________contracts. To help ensure【C10】________care for patients, the bill would【C11】________require plans to include specialists and provide higher refund rates to doctors.
    Patients would be charged $10 monthly premiums and $100【C12】________they showed up at the emergency room with a non-emergency. The state and managed-care companies would control which services to provide to Medicaid patients. In so doing, the legislation would【C13】________the existing fee-for-service system, in which the state pays providers for each service, a practice that has led to widespread care【C14】________. Refund rates have dropped so low that many doctors【C15】________not to treat Medicaid patients. The Legislature’s bill seeks to【C16】________those issues with the requirement that plans include specialists and the higher repayment rates to doctors.
    Another good news for doctors and hospitals is a【C17】________that limits the amount they would have to pay out in【C18】________caused by not proper practice, for pain and suffering to $300,000 for each Medicaid claimant. Senator Negron said the upper limit was【C19】________because doctors who treat Medicaid patients are basically providing a public service and should be【C20】________to do so.
【C6】
选项 A、even
B、almost
C、just
D、ever
答案B
解析 此句结构完整，需要一个副词来修饰entirely。B项的almost“差不多，几乎”代入句中，意为“……几乎成为完全从传统的医疗补助支付系统转化到管理式医疗保险的最大的州之一”符合句意逻辑。选用almost使得句子不会完全肯定，更具真实性。A项even“甚至”强调接下来说的话，表示意外、惊讶，一般放在助动词或be动词之后。C项just通常用于完成时中，表示“刚刚”；或是强调表示刚好在某一时间发生某事；或是强调某事没那么重要、有趣。D项ever通常用于否定句和疑问句。意为“在任何时候”。
