问题     In any society, no matter how【C1】______, some individuals have authority【C2】______others, at least within a limited sphere. Obedience is particularly relevant as societies get more【C3】______, where the spheres【C4】______authority can be【C5】______, become much more differentiated. Teachers assign homework, doctors order intravenous feedings, and policemen stop automobiles【C6】______pupils, nurses, and motorists generally【C7】______. Their obedience is based on an【C8】______recognition that the persons who【C9】______the orders are operating within their【C10】______domain of authority. If this domain is【C11】______, obedience is unlikely. Policemen can’t order motorists to【C12】______lists of irregular French verbs or to【C13】______two aspirins and go to bed.
    Some tendency to obey authority is a vital cement that holds society together; without it, there【C14】______chaos. But the atrocities of this century — the slaughter of the Armenians, the Nazi death camps — give terrible proof that this disposition to obedience can also become a corrosive poison that destroys our sense of humanity. Some of these atrocities could not have been 【C15】______【C16】______the obedience of tens or hundreds of thousands and the acquiescence of many more. How could such obedience have come【C17】______? Attempt to answer this question has focused on【C18】______of the two factors. One【C19】______the personality structure of the blindly obedient individual; the other emphasizes the【C20】______situation in which the obedient person finds himself.
【C15】
选项 A、committed
B、made
C、happened
D、acted
答案A
解析 词汇题。词义辨析题。空格须填入能与前面的atrocities(暴行)搭配的词。committed“犯，干，实行”，尤指犯错误、罪行，干坏事、傻事，如：commit a murder犯谋杀罪／commit suicide自杀。committed atrocities犯下暴行，搭配得当，符合题意，为正确答案。而其他选项均不能与atrocity搭配。made也可表“干，做”，也可表犯下错误等，如：make an error犯错；也可说commit an error“犯错误，出差错”，但不能与atrocity搭配。happen表“发生”，为不及物动词。act表“扮演，装着”，如：：Don’t act the fool．不要装傻。
