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.
    Mental illness usually is not as dangerous or dramatic. 【C4】______23 million Americans live with mental disorder, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. 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. It would fund mental health clinics that 【C12】______certain medical standards. And it would【C13】______states to adopt policies that allow judges to order some severely mentally ill people to undergo treatment.
    Not everyone is satisfied. Some patients’ advocates have【C14】______Mr. Murphy’s approach as coercive and【C15】______ to those who need help. The government should not be expanding the system’s capability to hospitalize or impose treatment on those【C16】______severe episodes, they say. It should instead be investing in community care that 【C17】______the need for more serious treatment.【C18】______, for a small class who will not accept treatment between hospital visits or repeat arrests, they say, states have good reason to 【C19】______ them to accept care, under judicial supervision. Mr. Murphy’s reform package may not prevent the next Sandy Hook. 【C20】______the changes would help relieve a lot of suffering that does not make the front page.
【C13】
选项 A、admit
B、push
C、retard
D、command
答案B
解析 根据前面三句可知，本句要说明的是该法案的第四个影响。此处的句意为“此外，它将政府采取政策，允许法官强制要求一些患有严重心理疾病的人群接受治疗”。根据语境判断，B．push“推动，对…施加压力”符合题意，为正确答案。admit“承认”不符合题意，较易排除；retard“阻止，妨碍”与语境相反；政府不受法案的命令与指挥，而是运用法案行事，故排除command“命令，指挥”。
