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、added
B、adapted
C、tied
D、led

答案 C

解析考查动词辨义与搭配。这里是讲死亡风险与人们对同事的看法间的关系。tie意为“系住”，be tied to表示“与……紧密相连”，体现了二者的关系，符合语境。其他三项也能与to连用，add to意为“增加”，adapt to意为“适应”，lead to意为“导致”，代入句中皆不通。
