问题     There are so many new books about dying that there are now special shelves set aside for them in bookshops, along with the health-diet and home-repair paperbacks.Some of them are so【C1】______with detailed information and step-by-step instructions for performing the function, that you’d think this was a new sort of skill which all of us are now required to learn.The strongest impression the casual reader gets is that proper dying has become an extraordinary,【C2】______an exotic experience, something only the specially trained can do.
    Furthermore, you could be led to believe that we are the only【C3】______capable of being aware of death,and that when the rest of nature is experiencing the life cycle and dying,one generation after【C4】______,it is a different kind of process,done automatically and trivially,or more "natural",as we say.
    An elm in our backyard【C5】______the blight (枯萎病) this summer and dropped stone dead, leafless, almost overnight.One weekend it was a normal-looking elm, maybe a little bare in spots but【C6】______alarming, and the next weekend it was gone, passed over, departed, taken.Taken is right, for the tree surgeon came by yesterday with his crew of young helpers and their cherry picker, and took it down branch by branch and carted it off in the back of a red truck,everyone【C7】______.
    The dying【C8】______a field mouse, at the jaws of an amiable household cat, is a spectacle I have beheld many times.It【C9】______to make me wince.However, early in life I gave up throwing sticks at the cat to make him drop the mouse,【C10】______the dropped mouse regularly went ahead and died anyway.
【C10】
选项 A、but
B、because
C、while
D、in order that
答案B
解析 根据上下文判断，“但是我老早就不再向叼着田鼠的猫扔棍子，让它把田鼠放下”，这样做的原因就在下一句：因为被放下的老鼠通常还是会死掉。
