问题     Many Americans have been feeding a baby aspirin once a day, believing it would protect them from a heart attack, a stroke, and even cancer. But several recent studies have 【C1】________this into question.
    One large-scale study【C2】________more than 19,000 healthy people ages 65 and older. Participants were【C3】________assigned to take either 100 mg of aspirin (slightly more than the 81 mg dose that【C4】________people take) or a placebo (a harmless substance given to a sick person【C5】________medicine, without telling them it is not real) every day for an average of 4.7 years.【C6】________did people in the aspirin group not【C7】________their risk of heart disease, dementia, or disability, but they were also more【C8】________to suffer from significant bleeding in the digestive tract or brain. And they were more likely to die【C9】________apparently because of an increased risk of【C10】________cancer.
    【C11】________, a trial of more than 12,500 people ages 55 and older【C12】________to have a moderate cardiovascular risk found no benefit to taking aspirin daily. In a study of more than 15,000 people with diabetes, a daily aspirin did【C13】________heart attacks and strokes, but it also【C14】________ major bleeding. And according to an analysis of data from more than 117,000 people,【C15】________ people needed larger doses of aspirin to help【C16】________their risk of heart attack, stroke, and cancer.
    The bottom line: Although there is good【C17】________that aspirin can help people who have already had or are at【C18】________risk for heart attacks or strokes, the drug’s【C19】________is not so clear for people, especially older people, with less risk.【C20】________your doctor before starting—or stopping—aspirin.
【C18】
选项 A、moderate
B、excessive
C、high
D、great
答案C
解析 本题空格处需要填一个形容词，满足句意“尽管有充分的证据表明，阿司匹林可以帮助那些已经患有心脏病或中风，或者此类疾病……风险患者”。由people后的定语从句have already had or are at________risk for heart attacks or strokes可知，阿司匹林对已经患有心脏病或中风，或者at________risk for heart attacks or strokes (此类疾病……风险患者)都有治疗效果，再根据后文中与此处形成转折的句子中的with less risk(较低风险)可知，此处表达的是高风险患病人群，四个选项中只有C项high“高的”符合句意，故为正确答案。A项moderate意为“适当的；中等的”；B项excessive意为“过多的；过分的”；D项great意为“大量的；巨大的”，三个选项代入原文均不符合句意，故排除。
