问题     The country’s inadequate mental health system gets the most attention after instances of mass violence that the nation has seen repeatedly over the past few months. Not all who【C1】______these sorts of cruelties are mentally ill, but【C2】______ have been. After each, the national discussion quickly, but temporarily, turns toward the mental health services that may have【C3】______to prevent another attack.
    Mental illness usually is not as dangerous or dramatic. 【C4】______23 million Americans live with mental disorder, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. Very few of these men and women are【C5】______mass-murderers; they need help for their own well-being and for that of their【C6】______. The Affordable Care Act has significantly increased insurance coverage 【C7】______mental health care. But that may not be enough to expand 【C8】______to insufficient mental-health-care resources.
    Rep. Tim Murphy has a bill that would do so. The Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act is more【C9】______than other recent efforts to reform the system and perhaps has the brightest prospects in a divided Congress. The【C10】______would reorganize the billions the federal government pours into mental health services. It would 【C11】______the way Medicaid pays for certain mental health treatments. It would fund mental health clinics that 【C12】______certain medical standards. And it would【C13】______states to adopt policies that allow judges to order some severely mentally ill people to undergo treatment.
    Not everyone is satisfied. Some patients’ advocates have【C14】______Mr. Murphy’s approach as coercive and【C15】______ to those who need help. The government should not be expanding the system’s capability to hospitalize or impose treatment on those【C16】______severe episodes, they say. It should instead be investing in community care that 【C17】______the need for more serious treatment.【C18】______, for a small class who will not accept treatment between hospital visits or repeat arrests, they say, states have good reason to 【C19】______ them to accept care, under judicial supervision. Mr. Murphy’s reform package may not prevent the next Sandy Hook. 【C20】______the changes would help relieve a lot of suffering that does not make the front page.
【C3】
选项 A、requested
B、demanded
C、failed
D、attempted
答案C
解析 此处的句意为“每一次暴力事件之后，全国性的讨论便很快但只是临时性地转向心理健康服务．这样的心理服务往往可能______阻止另一次攻击。”由此可知，暴力事件的发生受这种心理服务的影响较小，fail to do sth．意为“失败、未做成某事”，故C．failed“失败，不成功”符合题意，为正确答案。request“要求”与demand“要求，需求”不符合题意，且这两个词不与to搭配；attempt“企图，尝试”可与to搭配，意为“尝试／试图做某事”，不符合题意，故排除。
