问题     Because smoking is a form of addiction, 80 percent of smokers who quit usually experience some withdrawal symptoms(戒断症状).

选项

答案E

解析 空格前提到了一些戒烟后产生的症状如headache(头痛),light-headedness(头晕)以及chest pains(胸部疼痛)无疑都属于生理上的反应。而通过空后的anxiety(焦虑),short-term depression(短期抑郁症)和inability to concentrate(无法集中注意力)可知,此处指的是“心理症状”,因此选E.psychological。下句中的psychological是本空所填词的原词复现。
