问题     Use of the illegal drug named Ecstasy(MDMA)has increased alarmingly in Britain over the last few years. Many deaths have so far been【C1】______to the drug in Britain although it is possible that other drugs contributed to some of those deaths. While it is true that all drugs by their very nature change the way in which the body reacts to its environment and are therefore potentially dangerous, it is still unclear whether casual use of Ecstasy is as dangerous as【C2】______believe. What is certain is that the drug causes【C3】______changes to the body which may lead to【C4】______complications in certain circumstances. In almost all cases of MDMA-related deaths in Britain, overheating of the body and inadequate replacement of fluids have been noted as the【C5】______causes of death. However, not all physical problems【C6】______with the drug are immediate. Medium-term and long term effects have been reported which are quite disturbing, yet not all are conclusively linked to the drugs use. Medium term effects include the possibility of【C7】______the liver disease hepatitis, or risking【C8】______to the kidneys. Animal studies show no such damage, although it is readily admitted by researchers that animal studies are far from conclusive since humans react in different ways than rats and monkeys to the drug. Perhaps the most damning evidence urging against the use of Ecstasy is that it is【C9】______an addictive substance, and one that quickly loses its ability to transport the mind, while it increases its effect upon the body. Yet, unlike the classic addictive drugs, Ecstasy does not produce physical【C10】______symptoms. In fact, because one becomes quickly tolerant of its effect on the mind, it is necessary to forgo its use for a while in order to experience again its full effect.
A)primary I)owed
B)primitive J)attributed
C)fatal K)undoubtedly
D)infecting L)traditionally
E)contracting M)damage
F)authorities N)distinguishable
G)withdrawal O)distinct
H)associated
【C5】
选项
答案A
解析 空前定冠词the及空后名词causes提示所填词可能为形容词或名词。分析本句大意可知，overheating of the body“体温过高”和inadequate replacement of fluids“体内水分得不到足够的补充”是死亡产生的causes。根据常识可知，因吃Ecstasy而死亡的原因是多样的，但本文却只指出了这两种原因，由此不难推断overheating of the body和inadequatereplacement of fluids是死亡的主要原因。备选项中的形容词或名词用在句中能表达此意的为A)primary“主要的”。B)primitive“原始的”为强干扰项，它与primary词形相近，如果不清楚各自的含义，很容易选错答案。
