问题     Historically, humans get serious about avoiding disasters only after one has just struck them. 【C1】______ that logic, 2006 should have been a breakthrough year for rational behavior. With the memory of 9/11 still 【C2】______ in their minds, Americans watched hurricane Katrina, the most expensive disaster in U.S. history, on【C3】______TV. Anyone who didn’ t know it before should have learned that bad things can happen. And they are made【C4】______worse by our willful blindness to risk as much as our 【C5】______ to work together before everything goes to hell.
    Granted, some amount of delusion is probably part of the 【C6】______ condition. In A.D. 63, Pompeii was seriously damaged by an earthquake, and the locals immediately went to work 【C7】______ , in the same spot—until they were buried altogether by a volcano eruption 16 years later. But a【C8】______of the past year in disaster history suggests that modern Americans are particularly bad at【C9】______themselves from guaranteed threats. We know more than we【C10】______did about the dangers we face. But it turns【C11】______that in times of crisis, our greatest enemy is【C12】______the storm, the quake or the【C13】______itself. More often, it is ourselves. So what has happened in the year that【C14】______the disaster on the Gulf Coast. In New Orleans, the Army Corps of Engineers has worked day and night to rebuild the floodwalls. They have got the walls to 【C15】______ they were before Katrina, more or less. That’ s not【C16】______, we can now say with confidence. But it may be all【C17】______can be expected from one year of hustle.
    Meanwhile, New Orleans officials have crafted a plan to use buses and trains to 【C18】______ the sick and the disabled. The city estimates that 15,000 people will need a【C19】______out. However, state officials have not yet determined where these people will be taken. The【C20】______with neighboring communities are ongoing and difficult.
【C2】
选项 A、fresh
B、obvious
C、apparent
D、evident
答案A
解析 考查形容词辨析。flesh表示“新的，(记忆)清晰的”，可与memory搭配，表示记忆并没有随着时间的流逝而变得模糊。故选A．fresh。obvious意为“显然的”；apparent意为“显然的．外观上的”；evident意为“明显的，显然的”，均不符合题意。
