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.

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。
