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.
【C5】
选项 A、asserted
B、deserted
C、exerted
D、acted
答案C
解析 词汇题。词义辨析题。assert也可做及物动词，意为“声称，断言”，常指自信地讲出自己的观点，但常常没有证据来支持，如：He asserted his innocence．他坚称自己无罪。desert意为“远离，遗弃”，尤指不顾责任或义务而远离、放弃，如：You shouldn’t havedeserted your friend in a time of need．你不应该在需要你的时候将朋友抛弃。act做不及物动词时表“扮演，担任……的角色”，如：She plans to act Lady Macbeth in theplay．她计划在剧中扮演麦克白夫人。exert意为“尽力，行使(职权)，发挥(威力等)，产生(影响)”，如：exert authority行使权威。本文空格词汇正是与authority搭配运用，正合题意，为正确答案。
