【B6】
选项 A、abundance
B、incidence
C、prevalence
D、recurrence
答案C
解析 考查名词辨析。空格处填入的名词说明“暴力”的特点。abundance是褒义词，指“大量，丰富，充裕”，它一般不和violence搭配；incidence指“发生率，影响范围或程度”，是中性词，常常由形容词修饰后表示褒贬，如an area with a high incidence of crime(犯罪率高的地区)；prevalence指“普遍，盛行”，放入文中指“媒体里暴力的普及”。recurrence表示“重现，复发”。由上下文可知，美国人应担忧媒体中暴力的“普及”，而非“发生率”或“重现”。故选C．prevalence。
