问题     "My job is killing me." Who among us hasn’t issued that complaint at least once? Now a new study suggests that your dramatic complaint may【C1】________some scientific truth.
    The 20-year study, by researchers at Tel Aviv University, 【C2】________to examine the relationship between the workplace and a person’s risk of death. Researchers recruited 820 adults who had undergone a【C3】________ physical exam at a health clinic in 1988, and then interviewed them in detail about their workplace conditions—asking how nice their colleagues were, whether their boss was supportive and how much【C4】________they had in their position.
    The participants ranged in age from 25 to 65 at the start of the study and worked in a variety of fields. The researchers【C5】________the participants through their medical records: by the study’s conclusion in 2008, 53 people had died—and they were【C6】________more likely than those who survived to report having a hostile work environment.
    People who reported having little or no【C7】________support from their co-workers were 2.4 times more likely to die during the course of the study than those who said they had close, supportive【C8】________with their workmates. Interestingly, the risk of death was tied only to people’s perceptions of their co-workers, not their bosses. People who reported negative relationships with their supervisors were no more likely to die than others.
    The study was observational, so it could not determine whether toxic workplace environments caused death, only that it was【C9】________with the risk. But the findings add to the evidence that having a supportive social network decreases stress and helps【C10】________good health. On the other hand, being exposed to chronic stress contributes to depression, ill health and death.

选项

答案E

解析 空格所在句的主语为The 20-year study。缺少谓语动词,后一句的recruited使用了一般过去时,故此处需填入动词过去式。空格后的不定式to examine the relationship表明本句讲的是研究的目的,sought为seek的过去式,意为“试图,尝试”,填入文中表示“试图探索工作环境与个人死亡风险之间的关系”,符合句意。resorted“求助于”常与介词to连用,而文中的to为不定式,故排除。
