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.
【C18】

选项 A、Thus
B、Because
C、However
D、And

答案C

解析 此处的句意为“______,对于拒绝接受医院治疗或经常被拘留的小部分人来说,政府有理由……”。本段的前半部分一直在介绍反对法案的声音,但此处后半句却出现了states have good reason to…them to accept care的句子。可见,这是一个例外,是支持政府采取强制措施的例子,与前文构成转折关系,故C.However“然而,可是”为正确答案。Thus“因此”,And“而且”不符合语境;Because“因为”后直接跟句子,不加逗号,且其含义不符合题意,故排除。
