"We were【C3】______ three to four bottles of air freshener a week," says the 42-year-old nurse from Plymouth, Minn. "【C4】______ a fool, I thought my kid was becoming more nterested in personal【C5】______ "Instead, Jake was "huffing"--spraying the【C6】______ into towels and inhaling the fumes.【C7】______ his mother found out two years later, he was smoking pot, using acid and crystal met amphetamine, drinking alcohol, and snorting cocaine.
     Laura had warned Jake not to【C8】______ illegal drugs when he was younger and felt sure he got the message. But according to a new U.S. News【C9】______ , even parents who believe they talk often with their kids about drugs can be【C10】______ .

【C9】

选项 A、investigation
B、poll
C、statistics
D、announcement

答案B

解析 此题考查名词用法。很显然,这里说的就是“新闻调查”。但其英文对应词是investigation,poll,statistics,还是announcement?具体的搭配是poll。不知道这个搭配其实也不要紧,在这篇文章最后,我们看到有这样的说法:vote of confidence from 63 percent of the teens polled by U.S.News。由此就可以看出要选B项poll了。所以,作完形填空的时候,我们要常常联系前后文,这一点很重要。
