问题    If you think life is wonderful and expect it to stay that way, then you may have a good chance of living to a ripe old age, at least that is what the findings of a new study suggest. That study found that participants who reported the highest levels of optimism were far more likely to live to age 85 or【C1】________. This was compared to those participants who reported the lowest levels of optimism. It is【C2】________that the findings held even after the researchers considered factors that could【C3】________the link, including whether participants had health conditions such as heart disease or cancer, or whether they experienced depression. The results add to a growing body of evidence that certain psychological factors may predict a longer life【C4】________. For example, previous studies have found that more optimistic people have a lower risk of developing chronic diseases, and a lower risk of【C5】________death. However, the new study appears to be the first to【C6】________look at the relationship between optimism and longevity. The researchers【C7】________that the link found in the new study was not as strong when they factored in the effects of certain health behaviors, including exercise levels, sleep habits and diet. This suggests that these behaviors may, at least in part, explain the link. In other words, optimism may【C8】________good habits that bolster health. It is also important to note that the study found only a【C9】________. as researchers did not prove for certain that optimism leads to a longer life. However, if the findings are true, they suggest that optimism could serve as a psychological【C10】________that promotes health and a longer life.
A) affect    F) henceforth    K) reconciled
B)beyond       G) lofty       L)span
C)conceded    H) noteworthy    M) specifically
D) correlation  I) plausibly    N) spiral
E) foster    J) premature    O) trait [br] 【C5】

选项

答案 J

解析空格前是and a lower risk of，空格后是名词death，由此可知，空格处应填入一个形容词或分词。上文提及，先前的研究发现，更乐观的人患慢性病的风险更低，由并列连词and可知，此处应表示与“患慢性病”类似的消极信息，备选形容词premature意为“过早的”，代入文中表示更乐观的人过早死亡的风险也更低，符合语境，premature death为常用短语，意为“过早死亡”，故本题应选J。
