Crying is hardly an activity encouraged by society. Tears, be they of sorrow, anger, or joy, typically make Americans feel uncomfortable and【C1】______. The shedder of tears is likely to apologize, even when a devastating(毁灭性的)tragedy was the provocation. The observer of tears is likely to do everything possible to put an end to the【C2】______outpouring.

Vocal cries would have been quite enough, more likely than tears to gain【C7】______. So, it appears, there must be something special about tears themselves.
Indeed, the new studies suggest that emotional tears may play a direct role in alleviating stress. University of Minnesota researchers who are studying the chemical composition of tears have recently【C8】______two important chemicals from emotional tears. Both chemicals are found only in tears that are shed in response to emotion. Tears shed because of exposure to cut onion would contain no such ,【C9】______.
Researchers at several other institutions are investigating the usefulness of tears as a means of【C10】______human ills and monitoring drugs.
A)attention I)definitely
B)overwhelming J)enhance

F)indispensable N)substance
G)rise O)increasingly
H)isolated [br] 【C3】
选项
答案
C
解析
空格前的are表明此处需要形容词或分词作表语,修饰responses to tears(对眼泪的反应)。inappropriate“不适当的”与后面的counterproductive“使达不到预期目标的”语义并列。
