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.
   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.

选项 A、heads off
B、interferes with
C、takes off
D、copes with

答案A

解析 此处的句意为“相反,它应该把钱投到______更危急治疗需求的社区保健上”。根 据上下文,此处提倡把钱投向社区保健。可见,社区保健在危急治疗方面是欠缺的、不力 的。所以,A.heads off“阻止”符合题意。interfere with“干扰,干涉”不与“需求”搭配;take off“起飞;脱下”与题意不符,故排除;cope with“处理,应付”在此处没有褒贬的感情色 彩,不符合语境,故排除。
