问题     A new study finds that even mild stress can affect your ability to control your emotions. 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."
    To help patients learn to【C5】______ their emotional impairment, therapists sometimes use cognitive restructuring techniques encouraging patients to alter their thoughts or approach to a situation to change their emotional response. These might include focusing on the positive or non-threatening aspects of an event or【C6】______ that might normally produce fear.
    To test how these techniques hold up in real-life situations, the team【C7】______ a group of 78 volunteers, who viewed pictures of snakes and spiders. 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.
A) check B) regulate C) eventually D) consequences

I) relevant J) prescribed K) therapies L) confined
M) incidentally N) intense O) breach [br] 【C8】
选项
答案 C
解析 空格位于句子的主语和谓语之间，应为副词。eventually“最终”填入文中能体现前后两个分句的先后顺序，符合语义。词库中的incidentally虽可修饰动词，但不符合文章语境，科学研究不可能用“偶然”事件作为研究结果。
