American presidents seem to age before our eyes. But the common belief that high-office stress grays our leaders faster than【C1】________may be a myth, new research finds. In fact, the majority of American presidents have lived longer than【C2】________men of their times.
That’s not to【C3】________that chronic stress has no effect on a person’s lifespan, but【C4】________does high social standing. The findings【C5】________a body of research linking high status to better health:【C6】________, Oscar winners live longer than those who were only【C7】________; and the long life effect is also seen in Nobel Prize winners.
The new study, which was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association,【C8】________the dates of birth, inauguration and death of all 34 past presidents who died of natural causes. The【C9】________lifespan for these men should have been 68 years,【C10】________they’d aged twice as fast during their years in 【C11】________as the popular wisdom suggests they do.
【C12】________the study found, these presidents lived an average 73 years. And indeed, 23 of the 34 presidents who died of natural causes lived longer than【C13】________, compared with other men their age during their lifetimes.
Some presidents【C14】________an exceptionally long time: Gerald Ford died at 93.5 years, AND Ronald Reagan at 93.3. All【C15】________living presidents have already exceeded their life【C16】________, or are likely to do so.
So why do people【C17】________the top of the hierarchy fare better than those below?【C18】________to wealth, education and the best health care of their times would seem to be obvious factors【C19】________medical attention seems to have actually killed President Garfield, who died from a fatal【C20】________introduced by his doctors’ unclean treatment techniques after he was shot by an assassin.
【C18】
选项
A、Appeal
B、Access
C、Entrance
D、Channel
答案
B
解析
上下文语义题。此处是在解答“为什么处于最高层的人要比其他人活得更久”。根据空格后面的seem to be obvious factors “似乎是显而易见的因素”,推断这些位于高层的人应该是拥有“财富、教育和最好的医疗机会”,才能促使这些因素成就了他们的长寿,故空格处应填入表示“拥有或获得”的词。B项Access与介词to构成access to“获得……的机会”,符合语义。A项Appeal可与to构成appeal to,意为“向……呼吁;对……有吸引力”;但从常识上讲,位于高层的人不可能是因为呼吁或对“财富、教育和最好的医疗机会”有兴趣才成就了长寿,而应该是拥有这些条件使之长寿。C项Entrance可构成短语entrance to意为“进入”,后面常接地点。D项Channel“渠道”虽能与to wealth,education and the best health care形成通顺的语义,但该词侧重于指一种途径,不如access贴切。
