问题     A subject which seems to have been insufficiently studied by doctors. tom and psychologists is the influence of geography and climate on the psychological and physical health of humankind. There seems no doubt that the general character of landscape, the relative length of day and night, and climate must all play a part in【S1】______what kind of people we are.
    It is true that a few studies have been made. Where all the inhabitants of a particular area enjoy【S2】______good or bad health, scientists have identified【S3】______factors such as the presence or absence of substances like iodine ,fluoride, calcium, or iron in the water supply, or perhaps types of land that provide【S4】______places for pests like mosquitoes or rats.
    Moreover, we,-can all【S5】______about types of people we have met. Those living in countries with long dark winters are【S6】______to be less talkative and less lively than inhabitants of countries where the climate is more【S7】______. And where olives and oranges grow, the inhabitants are cheerful, talkative and casual.
    But these commonplace generalizations are inadequate: the influence of climate and geography should be studied in【S8】______. Do all mountain【S9】______live to a ripe old age.’? Docs the drinking of wine, rather than beer, result in a sunny and open character? Is the strength and height of a Kenyan tribe due to their【S10】______drinking of the cow blood?
    We are not yet sure of the answers to such questions ,but let us hope that something.

M)dwellers           N)contributory                        O)exceptionally
【S1】
选项
答案C
解析 decide，determine 这两个词都有“决定”的意思，都可能被选为答案。但decide的含义是“不再迟疑不定”，而determine含义是把某件事确定下来，例如：to determine the guests to be invited(确定要邀请的客人)，这里内涵意思是：要请哪些人而不清哪些人。原文的含义是确定我们是属于哪种性格的人，所以应选择determining。
