问题     The country’s inadequate mental health system gets the most attention after instances of mass violence that the nation has seen repeatedly over the past few months. 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.

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】______. The Affordable Care Act has significantly increased insurance coverage 【C7】______ mental health care. But that may not be enough to expand 【C8】______ to insufficient mental-health-care resources.
    Rep. Tim Murphy has a bill that would do so. The Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act is more【C9】______than other recent efforts to reform the system and perhaps has the brightest prospects in a divided Congress. The【C10】______would reorganize the billions the federal government pours into mental health services. It would【C11】______the way Medicaid pays for certain mental health treatments.

选项 A、preferable
B、ineffective
C、single
D、comprehensive

答案D

解析 此处的句意为“《家庭心理健康危机辅助法案》比最近试图改革系统的努力更加______,它可能在有分歧的国会里拥有最光明的前景”。根据语境判断,空格处所填词汇应具有积极的含义。且对于法案来讲,可以用D.comprehensive“综合的,广泛的,全方位的”来修饰。preferable“更好的,较喜爱的”本身含有比较级的含义,故不能跟在more后面;ineffective“无效的,失效的”与后半句描述矛盾;single“单身的,单个的”与题意不符。
