Mental illness usually is not as dangerous or dramatic. 【B4】______ 23 million Americans live with mental disorder, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.

【答案解析】解析：此处的句意为“每一次暴力事件之后，全国性的讨论便很快但只是临时性地转向心理健康服务，这样的心理服务往往可能______阻止另一次攻击。”由此可知，暴力事件的发生受这种心理服务的影响较小，fail to do sth．意为“失败、未做成某事”，故C．failed“失败，不成功”符合题意，为正确答案。request“要求”与demand“要求，需求”不符合题意，且这两个词不与to搭配；attempt“企图，尝试”可与to搭配，意为“尝试／试图做某事”，不符合题意，故排除。
【答案解析】解析：本句是对前一句的转折，其句意为“但是，那并不足以扩大不健全的心理健康保健资源的______”。将四个选项分别代入，只有B．access“进入；使用权；通路”符合题意，为正确答案。warning“警告”虽可与后面的to搭配，但其意为“对…的警告”不符合题意；demand“要求，需要”与to搭配时结构为demand sb．to do sth．与此处结构不符；way“方式，道路”与to搭配时意为“通向…的路”也不符合题意，故排除。
【答案解析】解析：本句承接上文，介绍法案的具体措施。此处的句意为“它将资助______某种医疗标准的心理健康诊所”。meet the standard为固定搭配，意为“符合标准”，故选C．meet。心理健康诊所不能有自己的医疗标准，也不能制定医疗标准，故排除have“有”和make“制造”；accord“使一致．符合”有一定的干扰，但其用法为accord with，意为“同…相符合，与…一致”，此句中没有介词with，构不成搭配，故排除。
【答案解析】解析：此处的句意为“______，对于拒绝接受医院治疗或经常被拘留的小部分人来说，政府有理由…”。本段的前半部分一直在介绍反对法案的声音，但此处后半句却出现了states have good reason to…them to accept care的句子。可见，这是一个例外，是支持政府采取强制措施的例子，与前文构成转折关系，故C．However“然而，可是”为正确答案。Thus“因此”，And“而且”不符合语境；Because“因为”后直接跟句子，不加逗号，且其含义不符合题意，故排除。
单选题
【B19】
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】解析：此处的句意为“…政府有理由______他们在司法监督下接受治疗”。根据前文的分析，此处应为政府对病人的敦促或强制，故C．require“要求，命令”符合题意，为正确答案。invite“邀请”在语气上不符合语境，应排除。政府从未禁止病人就医，故allow“允许”不符合题意；refute“反驳，驳斥”后跟言论或人作宾语，但无refute sb．to do sth．的结构，且在含义上不符合语境，故排除。
