The volunteers didn’t know which type of air they were breathing, but when it included candle smoke, their heart rate variability【C5】______.
Everyone’s heart rate varies【C6】______all the time, beating a little bit faster when we breathe in than when we breathe out This is perfectly healthy and a sign that the brain is【C7】______and able to regulate the heart But this variation【C8】______as we get older and if we【C9】______heart problems. In the study, it was increased by【C10】______candle smoke.
Researcher Christina Isaxon said the concentration of smoke【C11】______during the study was similar to that created by a candlelit dinner. As the volunteers could not see the candles and weren’t told what they were breathing, the effect could not be explained【C12】______by the calming effect of candlelight.
Dr Isaxon believed that tiny particles of the candle smoke could be responsible for the beneficial effects. These particles are【C13】______regulating the heart’s rhythm and in sending messages between cells in the body. More salts are produced when a【C14】______is still. The study did not find any【C15】______health effects of the smoke—【C16】______she admitted she did not ’make a huge effort’ to find any.

选项
A、potentially
B、periodically
C、instantly
D、permanently
答案
A
解析
句子的语义表明这些化学物质是常见的蜡烛释放出来的,且与癌症和其他疾病相关。换言之,这些诱发癌症和其他疾病的化学物质是对身体有潜在威胁的化学物质。故A项potentially“潜在地”符合语义要求。
