问题     During the summer, when I was a visiting poet at a residency out of state, an angry, confused woman wandered into my class and said: "I have three guns and I want to use them." We all【C1】________. It wasn’t clear if she had the guns, but we each know that, when we teach in America, we are already in danger.
    I was dizzy with fear. The woman, who later turned out to be a schizophrenic (精神分裂症患者) without【C2】________to her medications, was, by some force, wrestled out and【C3】________away, then put in a hospital for observation, in a step that was actually safer for everyone than any one of us pressing charges. My class went on; we talked about poems. But despite the fact that the rest of our days on campus passed【C4】________, I was rattled. I couldn’t shake the sense that in this country we always live at【C5】________risk.
    A few months later, crisis【C6】________again. While my husband was locking his bike to drop off our 3-year-old daughter for her preschool-aged day camp, a different woman approached. Swiftly and for no【C7】________reason, she bent down, picked up our daughter, and began to carry her down the street. It was so fast and confusing that my daughter【C8】________cried. My husband, in a burst of speed, chased the woman and reclaimed our daughter. The woman, clearly confused, retreated into the public library. A【C9】________of homeless people who generally know the other homeless in the area said they did not recognize the woman. The woman was so clearly unwell that when she was taken into custody she was incoherent.
    Heartbreakingly, she called our daughter by the name of someone else’s child. Each part, of the episode was as haunting as it was【C10】________.
    A) access     E) escorted   I) network    M) stifled
    B) apparent   F) froze      J) overriding N) struck
    C) barely     G) incredible K) peacefully O) terrifying
    D) dedication H) indignant  L) presumably
【C5】
选项
答案G
解析 空格处于短语at…risk中，表示“处于……的风险之中”，故应填入形容词，修饰risk。本题应该填入incredible，表示“极大的”，即“我们时刻处于极大的风险中”。注意，apparent“显而易见的”和terrifying“极其可怕的”语义上都能与risk搭配，但这两个词需要填入别的空格中，故做题时若不确定，可先确定之后的题目，再用排除法来做这题。
