    Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to【C4】______it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often【C5】______to be.

选项 A、prior
B、preliminary
C、primitive
D、primary
答案 C
解析 语义衔接题。[A]prior意为“优先的”；[B]preliminary意为“初步的，预备的”，多指初步的行动和措施；[C]primitive意为“原始的”；[D]primary“初期的”侧重于在时间上的领先。结合语境，下文提到现在我们遇到的危机不那么极端，由此推测出，此处所填词与today相对，指的是远古时代的情况，故答案为[C]。此句是说事实上，我们在“逃跑还是反抗”中做着选择，在更原始的时期，这个选择决定着是生是死。
