问题     A single night of taking the drug Ecstasy can cause serious brain damage and hasten the【C1】______of Parkinson’ s disease, scientists say. Just two to three Ecstasy tablets-a quantity that thousands of clubbers take during raves-can permanently【C2】______brain cells that affect movement and【C3】______, according to American research that【C4】______the drug to Parkinson’ s for the first time.
    A study by a team at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland,【C5】______monkeys and baboons found that both species of primate【C6】______irreversible damage to key cells【C7】______dopamine neurons, which are lost in Parkinson’ s, after receiving three low doses of Ecstasy at three-hour【C8】______.
    The study is particularly significant because baboons are one of the best animal models for the human 【C9】______. George Ricaurte, who led the research, said that widespread【C10】______of the drug may already be【C11】______ victims of such neurological damage. "The most troubling【C12】______is that young adults using Ecstasy may be 【C13】______ their risk for developing Parkinsonism as they get older."
    Alan Leshner, a former director of the US National Institute on Drug Abuse, said: "This study emphasizes the multi-faceted damage that Ecstasy can do【C14】______users. We’ve long known that repeated use damages serotonin brain cells. This study shows that even very【C15】______use can have long-lasting effects【C16】______ many different brain systems. It sends an important message to young people: don’t 【C17】______with your own brain."
    Janet Berts, the Essex mother whose daughter Leah died after a single Ecstasy tablet in 1995, said: "This comes as no【C18】______. People can’t see the effects at first, and they’re in permanent denial, saying it’s not going to happen to them. But we’ ll see the【C19】______ later, just as we have【C20】______moking."
【C20】

选项 A、to
B、with
C、as
D、in

答案B

解析 考查介词辨析。此处的with表示“在…的过程中”,这句话是说吸食毒品的不良影响不会一下就表现出来,它的表现是一个缓慢的过程,就和吸烟一样。故选B.with。
