问题     Next time you feel the flu coming on, think twice before reaching for painkillers—they could do more【C1】________than good. With the flu season【C2】________way across Europe and North America, millions will be taking flu【C3】________, which commonly include painkillers. The general【C4】________advice in the UK and the US is to take painkillers. But al-though painkillers can make you feel better they al-so lower fever, which can make the virus【C5】________.
    The first analysis of the effect of this on the【C6】________shows that painkillers taken at current levels to【C7】________fevers could cause 2, 000 flu deaths each year in the US alone. Fever is thought to be a【C8】________against viruses, because many viruses find it hard to【C9】________above our normal 37 °C. Some studies have shown that lowering fever may【C10】________virus-related infections and increase the amount of virus we can【C11】________on to others.
    To find out what【C12】________this might have on a flu epidemic, David Earn and his colleagues【C13】________to a 1982 study which showed that fer-rets, a【C14】________animal model for human flu produced more【C15】________flu virus if their fevers were lowered with painkillers. Earn’s team used these findings to estimate how much more virus people with【C16】________flu might produce if their fevers were【C17】________.
    With the help of a mathematical model, Eam’s team【C18】________their estimates to the number of people a year in the US who get flu,【C19】________fever and take the drugs. They found that painkillers as used in the US could be increasing the【C20】________of ordinary winter flu by up to 5 per cent.  
【C14】
选项 A、regular
B、average
C、mutual
D、common
答案D
解析 此处提到一项用雪貂做实验的医学研究(研究人类流感传播的问题)，用某种特定的动物做实验来研究人类的相关问题是医学研究的常规做法．故选D项common“通常的，常见的”。A项regular“定期的，有规律的”、B项average“平均的”和C项mutual“共同的，相互的”都不能表达“用动物做医学实验乃常规做法”的意思，所以排除。
