American presidents seem to age before our eyes. But the common belief that high-office stress grays our leaders faster than【C1】______may be a myth, new research finds. In fact, the majority of American presidents have lived longer than【C2】______men of their times.
That’s not to【C3】______that chronic stress has no effect on a person’s lifespan, but【C4】______does high social standing. The findings【C5】______a body of research linking high status to better health:【C6】______, Oscar winners live longer than those who were only【C7】______; and the long life effect is also seen in Nobel Prize winners.
The new study, which was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association,【C8】______the dates of birth, inauguration and death of all 34 past presidents who died of natural causes. The【C9】______lifespan for these men should have been 68 years,【C10】______they’d aged twice as fast during their years in【C11】______as the popular wisdom suggests they do.
【C12】______, the study found, these presidents lived an average 73 years. And indeed, 23 of the 34 presidents who died of natural causes lived longer than【C13】______, compared with other men their age during their lifetimes.
Some presidents【C14】______an exceptionally long time: Gerald Ford died at 93.5 years, AND Ronald Reagan at 93.3. All【C15】______living presidents have already exceeded their life【C16】______, or are likely to do so.
So why do people【C17】______the top of the hierarchy fare better than those below?【C18】______to wealth, education and the best health care of their times would seem to be obvious factors【C19】______medical attention seems to have actually killed President Garfield, who died from a fatal【C20】______introduced by his doctors’ unclean treatment techniques after he was shot by an assassin.
【C6】
选项
A、for instance
B、by contrast
C、in essence
D、above all
答案
A
解析
语义逻辑题。空格位于冒号之后(冒号后的内容通常是对前文作进一步的说明),空格后则讲了两个具体的事例,即奥斯卡奖得主和诺贝尔奖得主要比那些只获得提名的人士寿命更长。这两个事例正好呼应了冒号前提及的a body of research linking high status to better health“把身处高位与更好的健康状况联系起来的很多研究”,可见,后面的事例是对前文的举例说明,A项for instance“例如”符合语义。
