The 20-year study, by researchers at Tel Aviv University,【C2】______to examine the relationship between the workplace and a person’s risk of death. Researchers【C3】______820 adults who had undergone a【C4】______physical exam at a health clinic in 1988, and then interviewed them【C5】______detail about their workplace conditions—asking how nice their colleagues were, whether their boss was supportive and how much【C6】______they had in their position.
The participants【C7】______in age from 25 to 65 at the start of the study and worked in a variety of【C8】______, including finance, health care, manufacturing and insurance. The researchers【C9】______the participants through their medical records: by the study’s conclusion in 2008, 53 people had died—and they were significantly more likely than those who survived to report having a【C10】______work environment.
People who reported having little or no【C11】______support from their co-workers were 2.4 times more likely to die【C12】______the course of the study than those who said they had close, supportive【C13】______with their workmates. Interestingly, the risk of death was【C14】______only to people’s perceptions of their coworkers, not their bosses. People who reported negative relationships with their supervisors were【C15】______likely to die than others.
The study was observational,【C16】______it could not determine whether toxic workplace environments caused death, only that it was【C17】______with the risk.

选项 A、chased
B、pursued
C、tracked
D、trailed

答案 C

解析考查近义动词辨义。chase意为“追赶”，pursue“追踪”一般是指为了抓住某人而追踪。trail和track都有“跟踪”之意，即沿着某物留下的印迹、信息判断出某物曾到过哪些地方。track具有follow the progress or development of sth.之意，trail则没有这一引申义。原文说的是“跟踪”参与者20年的医疗记录，故只能用track。
