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.

选项
A、expressed
B、oppressed
C、impressed
D、suppressed
答案
D
解析
第2段最后一句提到“退热会增加感冒病毒的数量”,反推过来,“感冒病毒的数量增加了”则应该对应“退热”,据此可推断空格处应需填入与lower意思差不多的词,故选D项sup-pressed“抑制”,通常表示药物或疾病抑制了身体的自然功能或反应。B项oppressed“压迫,压抑”表示通过不公正使用权威的方式压迫、迫害他人,使承受痛苦,与此处语境不符。A项expressed“表达(某种观点或情感)”和C项impressed“给……留下印象”代入空格,句意不通,皆可排除。
