It【S3】______dirt and other matter and keeps insects out. Doctors think it might also help protect against【S4】______. And the waxy oil keeps ears from getting too dry.     So earwax is good. It even has a medical name: cerumen(耵聍). There are two kinds. Most people of European or African ancestry have the "wet" kind: thick and【S5】______. East Asians commonly have "dry" earwax.     But you can have too much of a good thing. The glands(耳道)in the ear canal that produce the wax make too much in some people Earwax is normally【S6】______; it falls out of the ear or gets washed away. But extra wax can harden and form a【S7】______that interferes with sound waves and reduces【S8】______.     People can also cause a blockage when they try to【S9】______out their ears, but only push the wax deeper inside. Earwax removal is sometimes necessary but you have to use a【S10】______method or you could do a lot of damage.

M)serve             N)traps          O)slight [br] 【S3】
选项
答案 N
解析 此处应填动词。此处动词与keeps形成并列结构。而keeps insects out是“阻挡昆虫进入耳朵”的意思，由此推测前面不是阻挡而可能是与之相反意思的动词，trap是“使……进入/陷入”从而又衍生出“吸附”之意。同时，根据48题中的答案，可知只有traps可选。
