答案解析
1. J 分析句子结构，空格前是is，空格后出现了不定式符号to，表目的，故空处 应填动词的现在分词，并能与空格后的an initiative“一份倡议”构成搭配。 此处要表达“政府正发起一份倡议”，结合选项，launching意为“发起”，符合 句意。
2.1 分析句子结构，It is 是主语从句，此处要表达“据调查”、“据报道” “据估计”等意义，结合选项，it is estimated“据估计”符合文意。
3. L 空格前为such as，显然此处是举例，应填名词，是对前文mental illness的 举例，所以空处表示的是一种“心理疾病”，结合选项，depression意为“抑 郁症”，符合题意。
4. D 分析句子结构，only about half are employed主谓成分完整，故空处 应填副词，修饰employed。结合选项，并根据句意：甚至对于相对较常见 的心理疾病，如抑郁症，只有大约一半的患者在被雇佣时 ，只有 competitively合适，意为“有竞争力地”。
5. E 空格前为不定式符号to，空格后为介词with，判断此处应填一个动词，且 与with搭配。coincide with为固定短语，意为“符合；同时发生”，符合题意。
6. F 分析句子结构，空格处所填单词和discrimination—同作end的宾语，空处 应填形容词，修饰discrimination。原文指出：《残障歧视法令》要求这些团 体或组织结束 歧视并提倡机会平等，表明针对歧视残疾人巳经颁 布了相关法律，故discrimination用unlawfUl“非法的”修饰更符合文意。
7. 0 空格后为and stigma，判断此处应填一个和stigma意义相近的名词。此处意 为： 和耻辱仍旧围绕着心理疾病问题。分析选项中的名词， ignorance意为“无知”，符合题意。
8. A 空格前为不定式符号to，空格后为指示代词和名词，判断此处应填一个及 物动词，且为原形。此处要表达“帮助解决这个问题”，结合选项， tackle有“解决”之意。
9. C 分析句子结构，staff 是一个名词词组，被形容词reduced修饰。结合 选项，staff turnover意为“员工流动率”，为固定搭配。
10. G空格前为定冠词the，空格后为that引导的定语从句，判断此处应该填名 词。此句意为：因为这一点，我们去除阻止人们开始、返回或者持续工作 的 是非常重要的。由此可知，可以阻止人们做某事的一定是“障碍， 阻碍”，故barriers最合适。
