问题     Air pollution triggers more heart attacks than using cocaine and poses as high a risk of sparking a heart attack as alcohol, coffee and physical exertion. The findings, published in The Lancet journal, suggest population-wide【C1】________like polluted air should be【C2】________more seriously when looking at heart risks, and should be put into context beside higher but relatively【C3】________risks like drug use. Researchers combined data【C4】________36 separate studies and calculated the relative risk【C5】________by a series of heart attack triggers. They found that of the triggers for heart attack studied, cocaine is the most【C6】________to trigger an event in an individual,【C7】________traffic has the greatest population effect as more people are【C8】________to it. A report published late last year found that air pollution in many major cities in Asia【C9】________the WHO’s air quality guidelines and that toxic cocktails of pollutants【C10】________more than 530,000 premature deaths a year.
    While【C11】________smoking was not included in this study, the researchers said the effects of second-hand smoke were likely to be【C12】________to that of outdoor air pollution, and noted previous research which found that bans on smoking in public places have significantly【C13】________heart attack rates. British researchers said last year that a ban on smoking in public places in England【C14】________to a swift and significant drop in the number of heart attacks,【C15】________the health service 8.4 million pounds in the first year.
    【C16】________, what triggers the heart attack should be considered the "last straw." The【C17】________of heart disease that lead to a heart attack are【C18】________down over many years. If someone wants to【C19】________a heart attack they should focus on not smoking, exercising, eating a healthy diet and【C20】________their ideal weight.
【C5】
选项 A、proposed
B、affected
C、posed
D、reduced
答案C
解析 动词辨析题。由空格后的by推知，此处应填入过去分词，与by…triggers一起作后置定语修饰名词短语the relative risk。分析前后两者的意思可知，a series of heart attack triggers和risk应该是引起和被引起的关系。故选C项posed“引起”。A项proposed“提出”是利用其与pose形近而制造干扰，只要认识该词就可以轻松排除；B项affected“影响”一般不跟risk搭配。“心脏病诱因”显然是引发风险的，而非reduce“减少”风险(D项)。
