Altogether, annual deaths from secondhand smoke【C1】______nearly 600,000 years of potential life lost—an average of 14.2 years per person—and $6.6 billion in lost productivity,【C2】______to $158,000 per death, report the researchers. The new research reveals that despite public health efforts to reduce tobacco use, secondhand smoke continues to【C3】______a grievous toll on nonsmokers.
"In general, fewer people are smoking and many have made lifestyle changes, but our research shows that the impacts of secondhand smoke are【C4】______very large," said lead author Wendy Max, PhD, professor of health economics at the University of California.

The impact is particularly great for communities of color."

In the research, the scientists【C7】______the economic implications—years of potential life lost and the value of lost productivity—on different racial and ethnic groups.
"Our study probably underestimates the true economic impact of secondhand smoke on【C8】______," said Max. "The toll is substantial, with communities of color having the greatest【C9】______. Interventions need to be designed to reduce the health and economic burden of smoking on smokers and nonsmokers alike, and on particularly【C10】______groups."

选项

答案 D

解析空格前为the，空格后为of从属结构，故需填人名词。句子表示生物指标测量信息使我们能更加准确地评价二手烟对健康与生产力的影响，availability表示“可利用性，可得性”，符合上下文语义，表示生物指标测量信息的“获取”。take也可作名词，指鱼或动物的“捕获量”，跟信息获取的语境不符。
