问题     Early in January 2009, the temperature in Tanana, Alaska, fell to 55 below zero F. It was so cold that when the airport runway lights stopped working, crews were【C1】______from going outside to fix them.
    So it was a real concern when Vicky Aldridge, a nurse practitioner at the village health center, realized that 61-year-old Winkler Bifelt was bleeding【C2】______and needed medical treatment at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital,【C3】______150 miles away. The sun was already down when Aldridge made the【C4】______telephone call to Frontier Flying Service in Fairbanks.
    "We told them the only way we could fly was if they could find enough vehicles to【C5】______the runway with headlights so we could land," said Bob Hajdukovich, the company’s president. Aldridge’s next calls went to airport and town officials, who,【C6】______, called villagers. Forty-five minutes later, enough cars, trucks, minivans and snowmobiles had lined up so that the runway was【C7】______.
    Pilots Nate Thompson and David Fowler landed without【C8】______, and men took off again, with Bifelt.
    "There is this wonderful caring【C9】______in the village," Aldridge said. "If anyone needs anything, all I have to do is to call one or two people and everything will get【C10】______."
【C4】

选项 A、eagerness
B、pressure
C、emergency
D、hurry

答案C

解析 选择此空白处答案时要“瞻前顾后”,注意句中主要结构make the…telephonecall,也就是“打什么样的电话”。从上文看,患者生命垂危,需要转院治疗,应该是“紧急电话”。虽然四个选项都有“急”的含义,但emergency表示“紧急情况”。
