问题     More people die of tuberculosis(结核病)than of any other
disease caused by a single agent. This has probably been
the case in quite a while. During the early stages of the【M1】______
industrial revolution, perhaps one in every seventh deaths in【M2】______
Europe’s crowded cities were caused by the disease. From【M3】______
now on, though, western eyes, missing the global picture, saw the【M4】______
trouble going into decline. With occasional breaks for war, the rates
of death and infection in the Europe and America dropped steadily【M5】______
through the 19th and 20th Centuries. In the 1950s,the introduction of
antibiotics strengthened the trend in rich countries, and the antibiotics
were allowed to be imported to poor countries. Medical researchers【M6】______
declared victory and withdrew.
    They are wrong. In the mid-1980s the frequency of infections【M7】______
and deaths started to pick up again around the world. Where
tuberculosis vanished, it came back; in many places where it had【M8】______
never been away, it grew better. The World Heath Organization【M9】______
estimates that 1.7 billion people(a third of the earth’s population)
suffer from tuberculosis. Even when the infection rate was falling,
population growth kept the number of clinical cases more or less
constantly at 8 million a year. Around 3 million of those people【M10】______
died, nearly all of them in poor countries.
【M10】
选项
答案constantly→constant
解析 词汇错误。本句大意是：尽管感染率下降，但人口的增长却使每年的求医人数稳定在800万左右。keep sth．+adj．表示“使……保持……”．故将副词改为形容词，constant作宾语补足语。
