问题    The country’s inadequate mental health system gets the most attention after instances of mass violence that the nation has seen repeatedly over the past few months. Not all who【C1】______these sorts of cruelties are mentally ill, but【C2】______have been. After each, the national discussion quickly, but temporarily, turns toward the mental health services that may have【C3】______to prevent another attack.
   Mental illness usually is not as dangerous or dramatic.【C4】____ 23 million Americans live with mental disorder, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. Very few of these men and women are【C5】______mass-murderers; they need help for their own well-being and for that of their【C6】______. The Affordable Care Act has significantly increased insurance coverage【C7】______mental health care. But that may not be enough to expand【C8】______to insufficient mental-health-care resources.
   Rep. Tim Murphy has a bill that would do so. The Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act is more【C9】______than other recent efforts to reform the system and perhaps has the brightest prospects in a divided Congress. The【C10】______would reorganize the billions the federal government pours into mental health services. It would【C11】______the way Medicaid pays for certain mental health treatments. It would fund mental health clinics that【C12】______certain medical standards. And it would【C13】______states to adopt policies that allow judges to order some severely mentally ill people to undergo treatment.
   Not everyone is satisfied. Some patients’ advocates have【C14】______Mr. Murphy’s approach as coercive and【C15】______to those who need help. The government should not be expanding the system’ s capability to hospitalize or impose treatment on those【C16】______severe episodes, they say. It should instead be investing in community care that【C17】______the need for more serious treatment.【C18】______, for a small class who will not accept treatment between hospital visits or repeat arrests, they say, states have good reason to【C19】______them to accept care, under judicial supervision. Mr. Murphy’s reform package may not prevent the next Sandy Hook.【C20】______the changes would help relieve a lot of suffering that does not make the front page.
【C5】
选项 A、inevitable
B、necessary
C、certain
D、potential
答案D
解析 本题考查形容词辨析。此处的句意为“这些男性和女性中很少有人是______杀人如麻的刽子手”。根据上一题分析，在美国患有心理疾病的人很多，而此处表达的则是很少有人是杀人如麻的刽子手。可见，D．potential“潜在的”与现实形成对比，符合题意，为正确答案。inevitable“不可避免的”不用于修饰人；necessary“必要的”，certain“确定的，某一”不符合题意，故排除。
