📖 題組：
Can smoking drive people mad? Scientists have scratched their heads over this question for years. A study __6__ in The Lancet Psychiatry about two years ago suggested so. According to the study, daily tobacco use might be a contributor to psychosis, a general term for various kinds of mental illness. __7__ data from 61 studies around the world between 1980 and 2014, which surveyed in total nearly 15,000 smokers and 273,000 non-smokers, the researchers discovered two striking facts. First, 57 percent of the people first __8__ psychosis were smokers and second, daily smokers developed psychotic illness around one year earlier than non-smokers. The researchers emphasized that they had not conclusively proven smoking as a cause of psychosis and __9__ further research had to be done. However, their findings did suggest that smoking should be taken seriously as a possible risk factor for developing psychosis and not __10__ simply as a consequence of the illness. Since smoking has long been known to cause cancer or stroke, there seems to be one more good reason for people not to smoke.

請觀察空格後的單字 psychosis，根據前文它被定義為一種 mental illness（心理疾病）。在醫療場景中，當一位病患「被專業人員正式判定」患有某種特定病症時，我們通常會使用哪一個動作來描述這個過程？

親愛的同學，你做得很好！精準掌握了核心觀念！
- 觀念驗證：太棒了！你完美掌握了醫療情境的搭配詞。當我們看到空格後方的psychosis（精神疾病）時，就能感受到這是個醫學相關的詞彙。在英文中，描述一個人被專業醫師診斷出疾病，最標準、最溫柔的用法就是be diagnosed with。這裡巧妙地運用了省略 $who \quad were$ 的分詞構句來修飾前方的 people，讓語句既簡潔又精確，充滿了關懷。
- 難度點評：這題的難度是Medium，對你來說是個很好的挑戰與學習機會。它鼓勵我們思考，如何將像psychosis這樣的醫學名詞，搭配上最符合「醫療診斷」邏輯的片語。這類「情境詞彙應用」是統測中常見的題型，也是展現你細心與理解力的好機會。你成功了，真的很棒！
