问题     If you have high blood pressure, you’re in good【C1】________Hypertension affects 67 million Americans, including nearly two-thirds of people over age 60. But it isn’t an inevitable part of the aging【C2】________. It’s better to think of it as【C3】________sodium poisoning. And, there’s a way to prevent the problem—and to save many, many lives.
    A lifetime of【C4】________too much sodium (mostly in the form of table salt) raises blood pressure, and high blood pressure kills and disables people by【C5】________ strokes and heart attacks. In the United States, according to best estimates,【C6】________sodium is killing between 40,000 and 90,000 people and running up to $20 billion in medical costs a year.
    Americans on average【C7】________about 3,300 milligrams of sodium per day, but experts recommend less than 2,300 milligrams—and less than 1,500 milligrams for people over age 50, black people, or those who already have hypertension, diabetes or kidney disease, which【C8】________a majority of American adults. Either【C9】________is far below where most Americans are now.
    The reason that nearly everyone eats【C10】________too much sodium is that our food is loaded with it, and often where we don’t【C11】________or expect it. Of course ham and canned soup are full of salt, but so are many foods that are【C12】________: A blueberry cake can have more than double the salt of a serving of potato chips.【C13】________healthy-sounding food can pack【C14】________ sodium loads. Many restaurant main courses have far more sodium than is recommended for an【C15】________day.
    Doctors warn people with high blood pressure to go on a low-salt diet, but that’s virtually impossible in today’s world,【C16】________nearly 80 percent of the sodium that Americans eat comes in【C17】________and restaurant food. You can’t take it out. And【C18】________everyone, not just people with hypertension【C19】________over food labels, should be taking in less sodium. The only way to prevent millions of Americans from developing high blood pressure is for companies and restaurants to stop loading up their food with sodium. It’s not easy,【C20】________it isn’t impossible either.
【C5】
选项 A、triggering
B、summoning
C、introducing
D、creating
答案A
解析 空格前的by说明高血压是通过什么方式致人死亡和残疾的，空格后面的中风和心脏病发作(strokes and heart attacks)是引发死亡和残疾的原因，因此A项triggering“引发，引起”符合逻辑。B项summoning“召集”，通常与人或勇气搭配。C项introducing“介绍”，接物作宾语时，表示“采用(新产品)，实施(新法律)，引进(新事物)”。D项creating“创造”，侧重与表达创造出来的东西以前并不存在，或者指独具特色的创作。这三项均不能与strokes and heart attacks形成合理的动宾关系。
