问题     Concerns a few years ago that students would be forced to use
stimulants in the fight for class rank and honors thus seem to be
exaggerating, but the reality is equally disturbing: a lifestyle【M1】______
running contrary to all the work habits that higher education stands
for. There’ s an intriguing historic precedent at the origins of【M2】______
amphetamines. Introduced in 1938 under the trademark Pervitin
as the answer to American Benzedrin, they were less an imposition
of Nazi authorities and military commanders but a popular coping【M3】______
mechanism for stressed wartime soldiers and civilians like,【M4】______
according to a study by Dutch historians of medicine. Many
students and professionals were described Pervitin for【M5】______
performance, but others took it recreationally. And there was even
an early intimation of the 1960s drug culture. The physician-writer
Gottfried Benn wanted amphetamines to be used by infantrymen【M6】______
but by students, to develop the human brain to new levels—how
lucky he was that he didn’t live to see the decline of his ideals
among undergraduates.
    The trouble with considering policy for performance-
enhancing use of drugs like Adderall is in what was already【M7】______
apparent in the 1930s: people use them for similar purposes,【M8】______
sometimes productively and sometimes disastrously, something
German physicians called "the toxic equation." But the
contemporary American debate has alarming side not present at【M9】______
the beginning, the idea that performance-enhancement is
"cheating." Does that mean drinking at Starbucks is doping? It’s a
counterproductive argument so it assumes that these drugs work【M10】______
consistently and give users an organic advantage, as opposed to the
placebo effect. It’s much better to address the patterns that lead to
abuse.
【M9】
选项
答案∧alarming一an
解析 词汇错误。此句的主语是debate，辩论一般都有两方，可以推断此处的side表示“一方，一边”，为可数名词，且在文中第一次出现，故应在形容词前面加上不定冠词an，意为“扰乱人心的一方”。
