问题     Any American who has bought a pack of cigarettes since the mid-60s might have seen the health warnings. It says, "SURGEON GENERAL’S WARNING: Smoking Causes Lung Cancer, Heart Disease, And May Complicate Pregnancy." Such government warnings work,【C1】________— research has shown that smokers in countries with strong warnings know more about smoking【C2】________than those in countries where warnings are weaker. But it’s unclear whether smokers who see any warning【C3】________smoke less.
    Public-health advocates have known for years that individualized messages are far more【C4】________at getting smokers to stop. For instance,【C5】________a doctor reminds a patient that her sister has promised to help her【C6】________, that patient will be much more likely to stop smoking than someone who just sees a(n)【C7】________message on a cigarette pack. A recent study shows that tailored antismoking messages engage brain regions involved in how people see themselves. Those regions are associated with emotion【C8】________basic human awareness and, possibly, awareness of others’【C9】________of us.
    The authors of the study, a University of Michigan team led by psychologist Hannah Faye Chua,【C10】________91 smokers who wanted to quit. The participants, who smoked an average of 17 cigarettes per day,【C11】________medical imaging scans for one hour while different messages appeared on a screen. Some messages were tailored to their【C12】________histories (for example, " A concern you have is being tempted to smoke when【C13】________other smokers"). Some messages were general anti-smoking【C14】________.
    The researchers found that the tailored messages【C15】________the two brain regions significantly more than the non-tailored and【C16】________messages. In other words, reading a short sentence changed their brain activity—【C17】________those who showed stronger activity in those regions were more likely to quit smoking.
    The reason this paper is important is that it【C18】________a growing body of research showing that what is often mocked as  "talk therapy" can produce real changes in brain【C19】________. If you really want to quit smoking, you should commit to a(n)【C20】________behavioral-therapy program. It will not only help you stop; it could change how your brain works.
【C3】
选项 A、incredibly
B、inevitably
C、barely
D、actually
答案D
解析 上文指出看到强烈警示的人对吸烟的认识更多，本句的but表示转折，说明知道吸烟有害是一回事，实际上会不会减少吸烟又是另一回事了，故选D项actually“实际上”，强调真实的情况是怎么样的。A项incredibly“难以置信地，极其”，But it’s unclear…说明了还不清楚吸烟者会不会减少吸烟，更谈不上大幅度减少抽烟，故排除。B项inevitably“必然地”，语气非常肯定，与上文的unclear不符。C项barely“几乎不”，表否定意义，代入句中意思不通。
