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 【B1】______ these sorts of cruelties are mentally ill, but 【B2】______ have been. After each, the national discussion quickly, but temporarily, turns toward the mental health services that may have 【B3】______ to prevent another attack.
    Mental illness usually is not as dangerous or dramatic. 【B4】______ 23 million Americans live with mental disorder, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. Very few of these men and women are【B5】______mass-murderers; they need help for their own well-being and for that of their【B6】______. The Affordable Care Act has significantly increased insurance coverage 【B7】______ mental health care. But that may not be enough to expand 【B8】______ 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 【B9】______ than other recent efforts to reform the system and perhaps has the brightest prospects in a divided Congress. The【B10】______would reorganize the billions the federal government pours into mental health services. It would【B11】______the way Medicaid pays for certain mental health treatments. It would fund mental health clinics that【B12】______certain medical standards. And it would【B13】______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【B14】______Mr. Murphy’s approach as coercive and【B15】______to those who need help. The government should not be expanding the system’ s capability to hospitalize or impose treatment on those【B16】______severe episodes, they say. It should instead be investing in community care that【B17】______the need for more serious treatment.【B18】______, for a small class who will not accept treatment between hospital visits or repeat arrests, they say, states have good reason to【B19】______them to accept care, under judicial supervision. Mr. Murphy’s reform package may not prevent the next Sandy Hook.【B20】______the changes would help relieve a lot of suffering that does not make the front page.
【B15】

选项 A、harmful
B、beneficial
C、uncertain
D、considerate

答案A

解析 此处的句意为“…认为这一方法对于需要帮助的人是强制的和______”。根据空格前的coercive“强制的,胁迫的”以及and来判断,此处仍需填一个具有否定含义的词,故A.harmful“有害的,能造成损害的”符合题意,为正确答案。beneficial“有益的,有利的”、considerate“考虑周到的”是反向干扰;uncertain“无常的,靠不住的”没有表现出与空格前含义一致的感情色彩.故排除。
