问题     A wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. So, as a police officer, I have some urgent things to say to good people.
    Something has gone terribly【C1】________with our once proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values. A key【C2】________is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability.
    Accountability isn’t hard to【C3】________. It means that every person is responsible for his or her actions and【C4】________for their consequences. Of the many【C5】________that hold civilization together—honesty, kindness, and so on—accountability may be the most important.
    My job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who【C6】________, or have never learned, to impose it on themselves.【C7】________as every policeman knows, external controls on people’s behavior are far less effective than internal restraints such as guilt, shame and【C8】________.
    【C9】________, there are still communities—smaller towns, usually—where schools maintain【C10】________and where parents hold up standards that proclaim: "In this family certain things are not【C11】________—they simply are not done! "
    Yet more and more, especially in our larger cities and suburbs, these【C12】________restraints are loosening. The main cause of this breakdown is a radical shift in【C13】________. Thirty years ago, if a crime was【C14】________society was considered  the victim.
    Now, in a shocking【C15】________it’s the criminal who is considered victimized: by his underprivileged upbringing, by the school that didn’t teach him to read, by the church that【C16】________to reach him with moral guidance, by the parents who didn’t provide a【C17】________home.
    I don’t believe it. Many others in equally disadvantaged circumstances choose not to【C18】________in criminal activities. If we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything.
    We【C19】________America desperately need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one【C20】________it.
【C9】

选项 A、Accurately
B、Ultimately
C、Fortunately
D、Deliberately

答案C

解析 由后面的信息可大概了解到,在很多社区,学校和家长还是很重视对孩子的行为进行教育。由此可推知填入的词应表积极的含义,故选C项Fortunately“幸运的是”。A项Accurately“正确地,精确地”和D项Deliberately“故意地”一般不会用在句首来修饰整个句子,同时两者也不符合语义逻辑。上下两段没有时间上的承接关系,B项Ultimately“最后,最终”也不选。
