本题考查动词词义搭配。本题主干意为“ 他一度________军医这个职业”，由后文forced him to give up the idea这一提示可知，选项中只有contemplated (考虑，打算，计 划）的语义符合上下文逻辑，故C选项符合题意。
[参考译文]他曾一度打算当一名军医，但迫于家庭责任，他不得不放弃这个想法。
[词汇拓展] ① consulted意为 “ 咨询”。 e.g. He needed to consult with an attorney.他需要向律师咨询。
② contested意为 “ 争辩，质疑”。 e.g. They contested his right to speak.他们质疑他是否有发言权。
③ contemplated意为 “ 预期，设想”。 e.g. As he lay in his hospital bed that night, he cried as he contemplated his future. 他躺在医院病床上，当他反复考虑自己的未来时他哭了。
④ consented意为 “ 同意，答应” 。 e.g. Their parents unwillingly consented to the marriage.他们的父母无可奈何地应允了这 门亲事。
