问题     Several years ago, I learned that a physician in a town not too far from where I was practicing had committed suicide. Neither I nor my hospital colleagues knew him, but【C1】______to the story we heard, he was the father of young children, was respected by doctors and【C2】______alike and had struggled privately with mental illness since medical school.
    But it was not the details of his life that haunted us; it was the details of his【C3】______He had locked himself in a room in the hospital, placed a large needle in his vein and【C4】______himself with a drug that so effectively paralyzed his muscles he was unable to breathe or call for help.
    For days afterward, the doctor’s death came up【C5】______in conversations. We talked about the grief his family must have been experiencing and speculated(猜测)on the extent of depression he must have experienced, but we dared not speak of, let alone imagine, the【C6】______of his final moments.
    Always, we ended up asking one another the same question: How could a doctor—who most likely knew about what he was suffering from and about the treatments available—never【C7】______help?
    For several decades now, studies have consistently shown that physicians have higher rates of suicide than the【C8】______population. While research has【C9】______the beginning of this tragic difference to the years spent in medical school, the【C10】______factors remain uncertain.
A)according F)decision K)recognized
B)carefully G)enduring L)repeatedly
C)contributing H)general M)seek
D)corresponding I)injected N)suffering
E)death J)patients O)traced
【C3】
选项
答案E
解析 名词辨析题。空格前有形容词性物主代词his，所以空 格处应填名词。空格所在的短语为the details of his——，根据句 意可知，空格处所填的词应该与第一个分句中的the details of his life 相反。由此可知，名词death“死亡”符合句意。
