问题     I am not convinced that this argument is particularly good news for elders who may be【C1】______to enjoy the time of their lives. What maybe good news is perhaps best forgotten by those who are【C2】______on from day to day, and getting by as best as they【C3】______. Causation is itself an【C4】______matter for the unscientific mind. Which would you rather feel: that your cancer has been genetically【C5】______, induced by stress or caused by viruses? Brought about by your own folly in smoking cigarettes, as Kirkwood himself appears to take【C6】______granted — brought about casually and spontaneously through the operation of chance? If it is put before them in this way, most people would rather not think about the matter at all. Kirkwood takes a different view, maintaining that the more we know about the【C7】______process, the more we can "【C8】______a greater degree of personal control". Common sense certainly tells us oldies to take it easy, to cut【C9】______a bit on food and alcohol and strenuous exercise, but we know this from the feel of our【C10】______rather than from what we read about the progress of science.
【C2】
选项 A、boiling
B、toiling
C、chopping
D、cutting
答案B
解析 本题测试动词词义辨析。toiling意为“苦干”；boiling意为“煮沸”；chopping意为“剁碎”；cutting意为“切下”。后三项应有宾语为具体对象，但上下文没给。toiling为不及物动词，适合该句语境。故选B。
