问题     Several years ago, I learned that a physician in a town not too far from where I was practicing had committed suicide. Neither I nor my hospital【C1】________knew him, but according to the story we heard, he was the father of young children, was respected by doctors and【C2】________ alike and had struggled privately with mental illness since medical school.
    But it was not the details of his life that haunted us; it was the details of his【C3】________. He had locked himself in a room in the hospital, placed a large needle in his vein and【C4】________himself with a drug that so effectively paralyzed his muscles he was unable to breathe or call for help.
    For days afterward, the doctor’s death came up【C5】________in conversations. We talked about the grief his family must have been experiencing and speculated (猜测) on the extent of depression he must have experienced, but we dared not speak of, let alone imagine, the【C6】________of his final moments.
    Always, we ended up asking one another the same question; How could a doctor—who most likely knew about what he was suffering from and about the treatments available—never【C7】________help?
    For several decades now, studies have consistently shown that physicians have higher rates of suicide than the【C8】________population. While research has【C9】________the beginning of this tragic difference to the years spent in medical school, the【C10】________factors remain uncertain.
    A) colleagues           F) enduring          K) recognized
    B) contributing         G) general           L) repeatedly
    C) corresponding        H) injected          M) seek
    D) death                I) patients          N) suffering
    E) decision             J) rarely            O) traced [br] 【C8】
选项
答案 G
解析 语义推断题。空格前有定冠词the，空格后有名词population，所以此处应填入形容词或动词的分词形式。空格所在句指出，医生比________人有着更高的自杀率。由此可以推断________population为与医生进行比较的对象。所以应填入general“普通的”，指医生这个群体之外的普通大众。
