As a physician who travels quite a lot, I spend a lot of time on planes listening for that dreaded "Is there a doctor on board?" announcement. I’ve been【C1】________ only once—for a woman who had merely fainted. But the【C2】________ made me quite curious about how often this kind of thing happens. I wondered what I would do if【C3】________ with a real midair medical emergency—without access to a hospital staff and the usual emergency equipment. So【C4】________ the New England Journal of Medicine last week published a study about in-flight medical events, I read it with interest.
The study estimated that there are an average of 30 in-flight medical emergencies on U.S. flights every day. Most of them are not【C5】________; fainting and dizziness are the most frequent complaints.

选项

答案 M

解析此处是省略从句主语及be动词的情况，空格处应该填入动词分词。选项中能与介词with搭配的分词只有confronted，代入空格后也符合语境，表示“如果遇到真实的空中医疗紧急情况，我会怎么做”。短语be confronted with意为“遇到”。
