A few years ago, a university professor tried a little experiment. He sent Christmas cards to a sample of perfect strangers. Although he expected some reaction, the response he received was amazing - holiday cards addressed to him came pouring back from the people who had never met nor heard of him. The great majority of those who returned a card never inquired into the identity of the【C1】______professor. They received his holiday greeting card, and they 【C2】______sent one in return. This study shows the action of one of the most powerful of the weapons of influence around us — the rule for reciprocation. The rule says that we should try to repay, in【C3】______, what another person has provided us. If a woman does us a favor, we should do her【C4】______in return; if a man sends us a birthday present, we should remember his birthday with a gift of our own; if a【C5】______invites us to a party, we should be sure to invite them to one of ours. By【C6】______of the reciprocity rule, then, we are obliged to the future repayment of favors, gifts, invitations, and the like. So typical is it for【C7】______to accompany the receipt of such things that a term like "much obliged" has become a synonym for "thank you," not only in the English language but in others as well.
The impressive aspect of the rule for reciprocation and the sense of obligation that 【C8】______with it is its pervasiveness in human culture. It is so【C9】______that after intensive study, sociologists can report that there is no human society that does not【C10】______to the rule.
A. accompanies B. automatically C. couple D. goes
E. indebtedness F. kind G. manner H. mercifully
I. one J. obey K. renowned L. subscribe
M. unknown N. virtue O. widespread
【C7】
选项
答案
E
解析
indebtedness,同义词复现题。首先可判断for之后应当填入名词。此外,这句话较为复杂,需进行句型梳理,将倒装句回归到正常语序后为:It is so typical for(37)______to accompany the receipt of such things that a term like“much obliged”has become a synonym for“thank you”.不难看出这是一个“so…that…”句型。此句意为,X(空格中待填入的名词)伴随着收到各项礼物和邀请,这一现象非常典型,以至于“感激不尽”变成了“谢谢”的同义词。下文“much obliged”隐含了“受恩惠”的含义,因此选项中与其含义接近的indebtedness“亏欠,受恩惠”为最佳选项,是为同义词复现。
