During the summer, when I was a visiting poet at a residency out of state, an angry, confused woman wandered into my class and said:I have three guns and I want to use them.We all 26 ,It wasn’t clear if she had the guns, but we each know that, when we teach in America, we are already in danger.
I was dizzy with fear. The woman, who later turned out to be a schizophrenic (精神分裂症悦者) without 27 _ to her medications, was, by some force, wrestled out and _28 away, then put in a hospital for observation, in a step that was actually safer for everyone than any one of us pressing charges. My class went on; we talked about poems. But despite the fact that the rest of our days on campus passed 29 ,I was rattled. I couldn’t shake the sense that in this country we always live at 30 risk.
A few months later, crisis 31 again. While my husband was locking his bike to drop off our 3-year-old daughter for her preschool-aged day camp, a different woman approached. Swiftly and for no 32 reason, she bent down, picked up our daughter, and began to carry her down the street. It was so fast and confusing that my daughter 33 __ cried. My husband, in a burst of speed, chased the woman and reclaimed our daughter. The woman, clearly confused, retreated into the public library. A 34 of homeless people who generally know the other homeless in the area said they did not recognize the woman. The woman was so clearly unwell that when she was taken into custody she was incoherent.Heartbreakingly, she called our daughter by the name of someone else’ s child. Each part of the episode was haunting as it was 35 .

C) barely K) peacefully
D) dedication L) presumably
E) escorted M stifled

答案解析：
根据前文“an angry, confused woman wandered into my class and said: I have three guns and I want to use them.”(一个愤怒、困惑的女人走进我的教室说：“我有三把枪，我想用它们。”)可知当时情况很危险，大家都很震惊，吓得动弹不得。“froze”表示“僵住，吓呆”，符合语境，所以选F。
根据“who later turned out to be a schizophrenic”(后来证明是精神分裂症患者)以及常识，精神分裂症患者可能无法正常获取药物。“access to”是固定搭配，表示“接近，使用，获取”，这里指无法获取药物，所以选A。
根据“was, by some force, wrestled out”(被某种力量制服并拖出去)可知，这个女人被带走了。“escorted away”表示“护送走，带走”，符合语境，所以选E。
根据“But despite the fact that”(尽管如此)以及前文描述的危险情况，这里表示尽管后面在校园里的日子看起来平静地度过了。“peacefully”表示“平静地”，符合语境，所以选K。
根据前文描述的危险经历以及“I couldn’t shake the sense”(我无法摆脱这种感觉)可知，在美国，这类危险事件随时都在发生，此处侧重于风险的频率而非程度，所以选G。
根据后文描述的又一次危机事件可知，几个月后，危机再次发生。“struck”有“发生，袭击”的意思，这里表示危机再次降临，所以选N。
根据“Swiftly and for no...reason”(迅速且没有……原因)以及后文女人的奇怪行为可知，她没有明显的理由就抱走了孩子。“apparent”表示“明显的”，符合语境，所以选B。
根据“It was so fast and confusing”(事情发生得太快太混乱)可知，女儿几乎没有哭。“barely”表示“几乎不”，符合语境，所以选C。
根据“of homeless people who generally know the other homeless in the area”(通常认识该地区其他无家可归者的一群无家可归者)可知，这里说的是一群无家可归的人。“network”表示“网络，一群人”，这里指一群无家可归的人，所以选I。
根据“Heartbreakingly”(令人心碎地)以及前文描述的女人抱走孩子等危险行为可知，这件事的每一部分都令人害怕。“terrifying”表示“令人害怕的”，符合语境，所以选O。
