问题     Many Americans have been feeding a baby aspirin once a day, believing it would protect them from a heart attack, a stroke, and even cancer. But several recent studies have 【C1】________this into question.
    One large-scale study【C2】________more than 19,000 healthy people ages 65 and older. Participants were【C3】________assigned to take either 100 mg of aspirin (slightly more than the 81 mg dose that【C4】________people take) or a placebo (a harmless substance given to a sick person【C5】________medicine, without telling them it is not real) every day for an average of 4.7 years.【C6】________did people in the aspirin group not【C7】________their risk of heart disease, dementia, or disability, but they were also more【C8】________to suffer from significant bleeding in the digestive tract or brain. And they were more likely to die【C9】________apparently because of an increased risk of【C10】________cancer.
    【C11】________, a trial of more than 12,500 people ages 55 and older【C12】________to have a moderate cardiovascular risk found no benefit to taking aspirin daily. In a study of more than 15,000 people with diabetes, a daily aspirin did【C13】________heart attacks and strokes, but it also【C14】________ major bleeding. And according to an analysis of data from more than 117,000 people,【C15】________ people needed larger doses of aspirin to help【C16】________their risk of heart attack, stroke, and cancer.
    The bottom line: Although there is good【C17】________that aspirin can help people who have already had or are at【C18】________risk for heart attacks or strokes, the drug’s【C19】________is not so clear for people, especially older people, with less risk.【C20】________your doctor before starting—or stopping—aspirin.
【C1】

选项 A、tossed
B、raised
C、thrown
D、turned

答案C

解析 本题空格处需要填入一个动词,该动词可以与后面的into question构成搭配。根据本段首句可知,美国民众存在滥用阿司匹林的情况,空格所在句开头的But表示转折,故本句的句意应该是对首句提出质疑,四个选项中只有C项thrown能与into question构成固定搭配,意为“对……提出质疑”,符合语意关系,故为正确选项。A项tossed意为“扔,抛”,为及物动词; B项raised意为“举起,抬起”;D项turned意为“变得,成为”,三个选项代入原文,均不能与into question构成语意通顺的搭配,故均排除。
