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】______.

【C15】

选项 A、harmful
B、beneficial
C、uncertain
D、considerate

答案A

解析 本题考查形容词辨析。此处的句意为“……认为这一方法对于需要帮助的人是强制的和______”。根据空格前的coercive“强制的,胁迫的”以及and来判断,此处仍需填一个具有否定含义的词,故A.harmful“有害的,能造成损害的”符合题意,为正确答案。beneficial“有益的,有利的”、considerate“考虑周到的”是反向干扰;uncertain“无常的,靠不住的”没有表现出与空格前含义一致的感情色彩,故排除。
