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
【C10】
选项
答案O
解析 空格所在部分为as…as…结构。所以填入的词应与haunting “让人难忘的”词性一致，用来形容这次“抢女儿事件”，terrifying“令人害怕的”符合语境，与第2段末的rattled对应。indignant有一定干扰。由上一句的Heartbreakingly可知，作者也同情抢女儿的女子，所以才说这件事haunting“(凄美)难忘的”，所以她不应该会感到indignant“气愤的”。
