A team of neuroscientists at New York University say that their findings suggest that certain【C1】______ that teach people how to better control their emotions—such as those used to treat social anxiety and phobias-may not work as well during stressful situations.
    "We have long suspected that stress can【C2】______ our ability to control our emotions, but this is the first study to document how even mild stress can undercut therapies designed to keep our emotions in【C3】______ said senior author and psychology professor Elizabeth Phelps. "In other words, what you learn in the clinic may not be as【C4】______ in the real world when you’re stressed."

These might include focusing on the positive or non-threatening aspects of an event or【C6】______ that might normally produce fear.

Some of the pictures were paired with an electric shock, and participants【C8】______ developed a fear of these pictures. The subjects "reported more【C9】______ feelings of fear when viewing the pictures, compared with when they viewed images not paired with a shock."
    Next the participants were taught cognitive strategies, similar to those【C10】______ by therapists and known as cognitive-behavioral therapy, to learn to diminish the fears brought on by the experiment.

M) incidentally N) intense O) breach [br] 【C9】
选项
答案 N
解析 比较级标记more和名词feelings提示，此处应为形容词。本句对比了伴有电击的图片和没有电击的图片对受试者的影响，结合上句内容可知，蛇和蜘蛛的图片会让人产生恐惧，而伴有电击的图片会让恐惧感更“强烈”，故此处选用intense。
