We know that chronic (慢性的) pain can disrupt (扰乱) a person’s life, causing problems that【C4】__________from missed work to depression.
        That’s why a growing number of hospitals now depend upon physicians who【C5】__________in pain medicine.

        This modern【C8】__________for pain management has led to a wealth of innovative treatments which are more effective and with fewer side effects than ever before. Decades ago, there were only a【C9】__________number of drugs available, and many of them caused【C10】__________side effects in older people, including dizziness and fatigue. This created a double-edged sword; the medications helped relieve the pain but caused other problems that could be worse than the pain itself.

D) involves
E) issues

【C10】
选项
答案N
解析 根据句意可知，空格所在句和前一句在意义上是过去和现在的对比，前一句介绍现在药物的副作用时使用了fewer一词，所以空格处应该使用意义相对的词，结合选项可知，significant“影响明显的”符合句意。
