问题     Use of the illegal drug named Ecstasy(MDMA)has increased alarmingly in Britain over the last few years. Many deaths have so far been【C1】______to the drug in Britain although it is possible that other drugs contributed to some of those deaths. While it is true that all drugs by their very nature change the way in which the body reacts to its environment and are therefore potentially dangerous, it is still unclear whether casual use of Ecstasy is as dangerous as【C2】______believe. What is certain is that the drug causes【C3】______changes to the body which may lead to【C4】______complications in certain circumstances. In almost all cases of MDMA-related deaths in Britain, overheating of the body and inadequate replacement of fluids have been noted as the【C5】______causes of death.
    However, not all physical problems【C6】______with the drug are immediate. Medium-term and long term effects have been reported which are quite disturbing, yet not all are conclusively linked to the drugs use. Medium-term effects include the possibility of【C7】______the liver disease hepatitis, or risking【C8】______to the kidneys. Animal studies show no such damage, although it is readily admitted by researchers that animal studies are far from conclusive since humans react in different ways than rats and monkeys to the drug. Perhaps the most damning evidence urging against the use of Ecstasy is that it is【C9】______an addictive substance, and one that quickly loses its ability to transport the mind, while it increases its effect upon the body. Yet, unlike the classic addictive drugs, Ecstasy does not produce physical【C10】______symptoms. In fact, because one becomes quickly tolerant of its effect on the mind, it is necessary to forgo its use for a while in order to experience again its full effect.
A)primary I)owed
B)primitive J)attributed
C)fatal K)undoubtedly
D)infecting L)traditionally
E)contracting M)damage
F)authorities N)istinguishable
G)withdrawal O)distinct
H)associated [br] 【C3】
选项
答案 O
解析 空前动词causes及空后名词changes提示所填词可能为形容词或名词。备选项中的形容词选项N)distinguishable和O)distinct在某种程度上为近义词，根据篇章词汇的特点(两个同义或近义词中通常有一个为答案)可初步将答案限定在这二者之中。其中N)distinguishable意为“可区别的，显然不同的”，而本文并没有涉及到the drug(Ecstasy)和其他毒品对the body影响的不同，故可排除。O)distinct除了有“截然不同的"之意，还有“清楚的，明显的”之意。本文采用
