问题     Optimists outlive pessimists, a new study shows. Of nearly 100,000 women【C1】______in the Women’s Health Initiative, those who gave【C2】______answers on a personality test were 9% less likely to【C3】______heart disease within eight years—and 14% less likely to【C4】______—than women who got low optimism【C5】______on the test.
    TIME’S Alice Park wrote about an earlier【C6】______of this study in the spring. She writes:
    【C7】______studies have indeed documented the life-extending benefits of optimism, 【C8】______most of that research has involved only men and has been【C9】______in small numbers. What’s more, not all studies have done a good job of【C10】______out potentially confusing factors such as health【C11】______and lifestyle. That’s【C12】______makes the new study different "Taking into【C13】______income, education, health behaviors like blood pressure and whether or not you are【C14】______active, whether or not you drink or smoke, we still see optimists with a decreased risk of death compared to pessimists," says Dr. Hilary Tindle, lead author of the study. "I was surprised that the relationship was【C15】______of all of these factors."
    The study also found an interesting and【C16】______disturbing difference in the way that attitude is related to【C17】______for black women vs. white women.
    Pessimistic black women in the study were 33% more likely to have died after eight years than optimistic black women, while white pessimists were only 13% more likely to have died than their optimistic【C18】______. The numbers in the study weren’t large enough to support any【C19】______explanations for this racial gap, but "there is definitely a suggestion that whites and blacks may be【C20】______in how optimism affects longevity," says Tindle.
【C19】
选项 A、sensitive
B、offensive
C、primitive
D、definitive
答案D
解析 由空格后的but可知前后分句存在转折关系，but后用了there is definitely a suggestion(这至少明确说明)，可推断空格所在句表示不能“明确说明”。D项definitive“确切的”代入文中，表示“研究涉及的人数不够广，还不足以为这一种族差距提供确切的解释”，符合要求。
