Severe winter storms have worsened the nation’s usual post-holiday blood shortage,【C1】________an urgent call today for people to donate blood. Type O blood is the most urgently needed, because it is the【C2】________blood type, meaning it can be safely【C3】________to most people in an emergency. "The severe winter weather has forced the cancellation of blood drives and limited our【C4】________to collect blood," American Red Cross President Elizabeth Dole said. The Red Cross reported having less than one day’s supply of Type O blood on hand in 18 of the organization’s 38 collection regions. The Red Cross【C5】________about half of the nation’s blood supply. America’s Blood Centers, which supplies most of the rest, also has reported shortages.
Reacting to the shortage, a Pittsburgh blood bank asked 40 hospitals in western Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio to【C6】________elective surgeries through Wednesday. At least 1,000 donors are needed each day for the next several days to stabilize the supply, said Mark Lynch, spokesman for the Central Blood Bank.

When its blood supply is【C8】________, the blood bank needs about 700 donors each day to maintain normal inventory. The Pittsburgh blood bank last asked hospitals to postpone elective surgeries because of a blood shortage in October 1995. Such procedures were canceled for almost a week.
Nationwide, donations typically fall off during the holidays, when donors become too busy to give blood【C9】________. Bad weather increases shortages both by【C10】________blood drives and by causing increased blood demand to treat accident victims.
A) threatening F) ability K) immediately
B) popular G) universal L) prompting
C) postpone H) refuse M) blocking
D) regularly I) transfused N) density
E) receives J) stable O) provides [br] 【C2】
选项
答案
G
解析
空格前是定冠词the,空格后是名词短语blood type,这里需填一个形容词,修饰blood type。备选的形容词有threatening、popular、universal和stable。本句是在讲O型血,根据常识,O型血是通用血型,故选universal,意为“通用的”,所以正确答案是G。
