问题     Opinion polls repeatedly tell us that the only thing Americans worry about more than the environment is their health. This is【C1】______understandable, for health is obviously【C2】______to illness. What makes today’s concern【C3】______health slightly surprising is that Americans are【C4】______healthier now than they have ever been. Many diseases that once【C5】______terror into hearts have either been completely【C6】______or brought under control. Although AIDS is a notable【C7】______， few new mass killers have come out to【C8】______the ones that have been eliminated.【C9】______. health — and the various threats to it — remains everyone’s【C10】______concern. After all, more than half of us (57 percent) will die from either heart disease or cancer, if current【C11】______continues.
    One major problem with any【C12】______of health risks — especially life-threatening ones — is that they【C13】______enormously in their immediacy. For instance, AIDS — if you get it — will probably be【C14】______after a number of years. Cancer induced by smoking or【C15】______to radiation, on the other hand, may take 20 to 30 years【C16】______its fatal effects show【C17】______. In making choices about health risks,【C18】______. it is important to bear in 【C19】______the likely time lag between taking a risk and【C20】______its consequences. [br] 【C6】
选项 A、discarded
B、excluded
C、rejected
D、eliminated
答案 D
解析 语义衔接题。once一词暗示疾病在过去与现在状态不同：原来使人胆颤心惊，即影响很大，所以现在应该是被彻底根除或控制住，故答案为[D]eliminated“消除，根除”。第74题后面的eliminated为本空所填词的原词复现，对本题有很强的提示作用。[A]discarded“丢弃，抛弃”：[B]excluded“不包括，排除在外”；[C] rejected“拒绝”。
