Opinion polls repeatedly tell us that the only thing Americans worry about more than the environment is their health. This is【C1】______understandable, for health is obviously【C2】______to illness. What makes today’s concern【C3】______health slightly surprising is that Americans are【C4】______healthier now than they have ever been. Many diseases that once【C5】______terror into hearts have either been completely【C6】______or brought under control. Although AIDS is a notable【C7】______, few new mass killers have come out to【C8】______the ones that have been eliminated.【C9】______. health — and the various threats to it — remains everyone’s【C10】______concern. After all, more than half of us (57 percent) will die from either heart disease or cancer, if current【C11】______continues.
One major problem with any【C12】______of health risks — especially life-threatening ones — is that they【C13】______enormously in their immediacy. For instance, AIDS — if you get it — will probably be【C14】______after a number of years. Cancer induced by smoking or【C15】______to radiation, on the other hand, may take 20 to 30 years【C16】______its fatal effects show【C17】______. In making choices about health risks,【C18】______. it is important to bear in 【C19】______the likely time lag between taking a risk and【C20】______its consequences. [br] 【C12】
选项
A、comparison
B、contrast
C、difference
D、feature
答案
A
解析
语义衔接题。由后面的for instance可知,后面是对本句的举例说明。后面主要是对AIDS与癌症等疾病进行比较,是同类事物之间的比较,故答案为[A]comparison“比较,对比”,侧重比较两个或更多东西的异同优劣,强调相同或类似之处。[B]contrast“对比”常构成:in/by contrast to/with,用于两者之间正反对比:[C]difference“不同,差异”;[D]feature“特点”。
