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.
【C8】
选项 A、explicit
B、implicit
C、conscious
D、unconscious
答案B
解析 篇章题。上下文理解题。explicit意为“不含糊的，显而易见的”，如：Haven’t you noticed that explicit sign of trouble?你还没注意到那个显而易见的麻烦的征兆?explicitrecognition表“显而易见的承认”，不合题意。implicit意为“深信不疑的，固有的，不言明的”，如：implicit trust绝对信任。其指这种信任无需明说，没什么可怀疑的。根据上下文，他们之间的这种命令与服从的关系是被大家公认的，是无需再说明的，因此，implicit为正确选项。conscious意为“有意识的。能理解的”，指对自己的环境、存在、感觉和想法有意识，一般用法为beconscious of sth．，如：He was conscious of histask．他知道自己的任务。其含义不如implicit准确，用法也不恰当，因此，不能选此项。
