问题     The English national character is dualistic: One aspect is conservative, the other extroverted (性格外向的 ). The pub is a fine example of the conservative aspect of English character. The pub, unlike the bar in the U.S., is a focal【C1】______ for the "locals." One goes to the pub for the same reasons one used to go to church: for fellowship and spiritual【C2】______ . There is nothing flashy or plastic about most pubs. Many look like one’s living room, full of soft chairs, couches, a fireplace, and bright lights. The pubs keep【C3】______ hours, too. There are no all-night or 3 A.M. public bars. When the pubs close everyone goes home. The pub represents【C4】______ with control and in good taste.
    This control is【C5】______in English humor. Most Americans find nothing【C6】______ in English comedy shows, since English humor is word oriented while American humor is more action oriented. The same control that is found in English pubs and humor is also found in the English【C7】______ of living. Where else does one stand in line quietly for the bus or the taxi?
However, there is another side to the English Character—the【C8】______ the adventurous, and the innovative. It was not the U.S. but conservative England that produced the Beatles with their long hair and sounds that have【C9】______ a decade of rock musicians and adolescents.
    The English are innovators and experimenters in many areas: A. S. Neill’s Summerhill has become the model for progressive education. R. D. Laing claims that it is not the individual who is insane but his society, which【C10】______ categorizes him and forces him to fit into abstract norms.
A) concrete E) influenced I) funny M) orthodox
B) enlightenment F) indignantly J) pace N) constantly
C) bizarre G) point K) perception O) exemplified
D) pleasure H) amplified L) respectable
【C3】
选项
答案L
解析 此处需填入修饰hours的形容词或分词。这一段主要讲英国酒吧的保守方面，都是好的一面，因此空格处应为褒义的词。根据最后一句的with control(有节制)和in good taste(品味好)，可知respectable“正派的”最合适，指酒吧开放的时间很正规。
