问题     "My job is killing me." Who among us hasn’t issued that complaint at least once? Now a new study suggests that your dramatic complaint may【C1】______some scientific truth.
    The 20-year study, by researchers at Tel Aviv University,【C2】______to examine the relationship between the workplace and a person’s risk of death. Researchers【C3】______820 adults who had undergone a【C4】______physical exam at a health clinic in 1988, and then interviewed them【C5】______detail about their workplace conditions—asking how nice their colleagues were, whether their boss was supportive and how much【C6】______they had in their position.
    The participants【C7】______in age from 25 to 65 at the start of the study and worked in a variety of【C8】______, including finance, health care, manufacturing and insurance. The researchers【C9】______the participants through their medical records: by the study’s conclusion in 2008, 53 people had died—and they were significantly more likely than those who survived to report having a【C10】______work environment.
    People who reported having little or no【C11】______support from their co-workers were 2.4 times more likely to die【C12】______the course of the study than those who said they had close, supportive【C13】______with their workmates. Interestingly, the risk of death was【C14】______only to people’s perceptions of their coworkers, not their bosses. People who reported negative relationships with their supervisors were【C15】______likely to die than others.
    The study was observational,【C16】______it could not determine whether toxic workplace environments caused death, only that it was【C17】______with the risk. But the findings add to the evidence【C18】______having a supportive social network decreases stress and helps【C19】______good health. On the other hand, being exposed【C20】______chronic stress contributes to depression, ill health and death.
【C10】
选项 A、cozy
B、fabulous
C、hostile
D、transparent
答案C
解析 考查形容词辨义。前面提到2008年研究结束时，已有53人死去，这里就工作环境将死去的人与活着的人进行对比，可见其工作环境应该是恶劣的，选项中具有否定意义的词只有hostile，意为“不利的。恶劣的”。cozy“舒适的”、fabulous“难以置信的；巨大的；神话般的”和transparent“透明的”均不符合逻辑。
