问题     As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the【C1】______of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to【C2】______down. But relaxation is essential for a【C3】______mind and body.
    Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to【C4】______it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often【C5】______to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide【C6】______and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control【C7】______it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
    The amount of stress a person can withstand【C8】______very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and【C9】______characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities.【C10】______lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When【C11】______to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and【C12】______. In fact we make choice between "flight and fight" and in more【C13】______days the choices made the difference between life and death.

【C13】
选项 A、prior
B、preliminary
C、primitive
D、primary
答案C
解析 语义衔接题。[A]prior意为“优先的”；[B]preliminary意为“初步的，预备的”，多指初步的行动和措施；[C]primitive意为“原始的”；[D]primary“初期的”侧重于在时间上的领先。结合语境，下文提到现在我们遇到的危机不那么极端，由此推测出，此处所填词与today相对，指的是远古时代的情况，故答案为[C]。此句是说事实上，我们在“逃跑还是反抗”中做着选择，在更原始的时期，这个选择决定着是生是死。
