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.
【C14】
选项
A、survived
B、covered
C、lasted
D、extended
答案
A
解析
上下文语义题。空格处填入谓语动词,与an exceptionally long time“时间格外长”构成动宾搭配。根据冒号后面的内容“杰拉尔德.福特享年93. 5岁,罗纳德.里根93. 3岁”,可知这些总统寿命很长,填入的动词应表示 “活”的意思,所以选A项survived“存活”。B项cover“覆盖”填入文中表示“有些总统覆盖时间格外长”,语义不通。C项last“持续”虽然也可知持续的时间,但它的主语往往是事物而不是人。冒号后罗列了几位总统的高寿命。其重点是强调寿命长,而不是说他们延长了寿命,故排除D项extended“延长”。
