问题     Several years ago, I learned that a physician in a town not too far from where I was practicing had committed suicide. Neither I nor my hospital colleagues knew him, but【C1】______to the story we heard, he was the father of young children, was respected by doctors and【C2】______alike and had struggled privately with mental illness since medical school.
    But it was not the details of his life that haunted us; it was the details of his【C3】______. He had locked himself in a room in the hospital, placed a large needle in his vein and【C4】______himself with a drug that so effectively paralyzed his muscles he was unable to breathe or call for help.
    For days afterward, the doctor’s death came up【C5】______in conversations. We talked about the grief his family must have been experiencing and speculated(猜测)on the extent of depression he must have experienced, but we dared not speak of, let alone imagine, the【C6】______of his final moments.
    Always, we ended up asking one another the same question: How could a doctor—who most likely knew about what he was suffering from and about the treatments available—never【C7】______help?
    For several decades now, studies have consistently shown that physicians have higher rates of suicide than the【C8】______population. While research has【C9】______the beginning of this tragic difference to the years spent in medical school, the【C10】______factors remain uncertain.
A)according F)enduring K)recognized
B)contributing G)general L)repeatedly
C)corresponding H)injected M)seek
D)death I)patients N)suffering
E)decision J)rarely O)traced [br] 【C9】
选项
答案 O
解析 动词辨析题。分析句子结构可知，从句缺少谓语，因空格前有助动词has，空格处应填入动词的过去分词形式。空格所在句句意为，研究把这个悲剧性差异的开端——医学院时期。医生在医学院学习时期要早于其从事医生工作的时间，所以空格处应为“追溯到”，traced符合题意。
