Secondhand smoke is accountable for 42,000 deaths annually to nonsmokers in the United States, including nearly 900 infants, according to a new study. Altogether, annual deaths from secondhand smoke【C1】______ nearly 600,000 years of potential life lost—an average of 14.2 years per person—and $6.6 billion in lost productivity,【C2】______ to $158,000 per death, report the researchers. The new research reveals that despite public health efforts to reduce tobacco use, secondhand smoke continues to【C3】______ a grievous toll on nonsmokers.
"In general, fewer people are smoking and many have made lifestyle changes, but our research shows that the impacts of secondhand smoke are【C4】______ very large," said lead author Wendy Max, PhD, professor of health economics at the University of California. "The【C5】______ of information on biomarker-measured (生物指标测量 ) exposure allows us to more accurately assess the impact of secondhand smoke exposure on health and productivity. The impact is particularly great for communities of color."
Exposure to secondhand smoke is linked to a number of【C6】______ illnesses including heart and lung disease, as well as conditions affecting newborns such as low birth weight and respiratory distress syndrome. In the research, the scientists【C7】______ the economic implications— years of potential life lost and the value of lost productivity—on different racial and ethnic groups.
"Our study probably underestimates the true economic impact of secondhand smoke on【C8】______ ," said Max. "The toll is substantial, with communities of color having the greatest【C9】______ . Interventions need to be designed to reduce the health and economic burden of smoking on smokers and nonsmokers alike, and on particularly【C10】______ groups."

B) turbulent F) generalized J) henceforth N) vulnerable
C) nonetheless G) take K) mortality O) gauged

【C6】
选项
答案
I
解析
此处需填入修饰illnesses(疾病)的词,可以是形容词、分词或名词。根据修饰illnesses的分词短语including heart and lung disease…,可知这些疾病非常严重。fatal“致命的”符合语境,表示二手烟可以导致包括心肺疾病在内的很多致命疾病。turbulent“动荡的;汹涌的,狂暴的”一般不修饰疾病。
