    As a physician who travels quite a lot, I spend a lot of time on planes listening for that dreaded "Is there a doctor on board?" announcement. I’ve been【C1】________ only once—for a woman who had merely fainted. But the【C2】________ made me quite curious about how often this kind of thing happens. I wondered what I would do if【C3】________ with a real midair medical emergency—without access to a hospital staff and the usual emergency equipment. So【C4】________ the New England Journal of Medicine last week published a study about in-flight medical events, I read it with interest.
    The study estimated that there are an average of 30 in-flight medical emergencies on U.S. flights every day. Most of them are not【C5】________; fainting and dizziness are the most frequent complaints.
    But 13% of them—roughly four a day—are serious enough to【C6】________ a pilot to change course.
    The most common of the serious emergencies【C7】________ heart trouble, strokes, and difficulty breathing.

Most people can tolerate these pressures pretty【C9】________, but passengers with heart disease may experience chest pains as result of the reduced amount of oxygen flowing through their blood. Another common inflight problem is deep venous thrombosis—the so-called economy class syndrome. Whatever happens, don’t panic. Things are getting better on the in-flight-emergency front. Thanks to more recent legislation,【C10】________ with at least one attendant are starting to install emergency medical kits to treat heart attacks.
【C8】
选项
答案I
解析 由空格前的are，可知空格处应填入形容词或分词。本句为本段的主题句，下文列举的cabin pressures“机舱压力”和the so-called economy class syndrome“经济舱综合征”都是为了说明坐飞机是怎样的一番体验，词库中的stressful“有压力的”符合语义。
