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.
【C19】

选项 A、price
B、value
C、status
D、direction

答案B

解析 本题空格处需要填一个名词,满足句意“但这种药物的——还不是很明朗,尤其是针对老年人和患病风险较低的人”。本句为让步状语从句的主句,前半部分提到阿司匹林的好处,此处转折,应表示其劣势或缺点,其中not so clear(不是很明朗)说明其局限性,此处意在说明该药物的“价值或益处”对老年人或患病风险较低的人不是很明朗,四个选项中只有B项value“用处,益处”符合句意,故为正确答案。选项㈧price意为“价格”;C项status意为“地位”;D项direction意为“方向”,三个选项代入原文均不符合句意,故排除。
