问题     Because smoking is a form of addiction, 80 percent of smokers who quit usually experience some withdrawal symptoms(戒断症状). These may include headache, light-headedness, and chest pains. 【S1】______ symptoms, such as anxiety, short-term depression, and inability to concentrate, may also appear. The main psychological symptom is increased irritability(烦躁). People become so irritable, in fact, that they say they feel like "killing somebody". Yet there is no evidence that quitting smoking leads to 【S2】______ violence.
    Some people seem to lose all their energy and drive, wanting only to sleep. Others react in exactly the 【S3】______ way, becoming so over-energized that they can’t find enough activity to burn off their 【S4】______ energy. For instance, one woman said she cleaned out all her closets completely and was ready to go next door to start on her neighbor’s. Both these 【S5】______, however, eventually level off. The symptoms may be intense for two or three days, but within 10 to 14 days after quitting, most die down. The truth is that after people quit smoking, they have more energy, they generally will need 【S6】______ sleep, and feel better about themselves.
    Quitting smoking not only 【S7】______ the ex-smoker’s life, but also adds new happiness and meaning to one’s current life. Most smokers state that immediately after they quit smoking, they start noticing dramatic differences in their overall health and vitality.
    Quitting is 【S8】______ at any age, no matter how long a person has been smoking. The death 【S9】______ of an ex-smoker decreases after quitting. If the patient quits before a serious disease has developed, his/her body may 【S10】______ be able to restore itself almost completely.

选项
答案 E
解析 空格前提到了一些戒烟后产生的症状如headache(头痛)，light-headedness(头晕)以及chest pains(胸部疼痛)无疑都属于生理上的反应。而通过空后的anxiety(焦虑)，short-term depression(短期抑郁症)和inability to concentrate(无法集中注意力)可知，此处指的是“心理症状”，因此选E.psychological。下句中的psychological是本空所填词的原词复现。
