问题     Humans are unique in the extent to which they can reflect on themselves and others. Humans are able to (21) , to think in abstract terms, to reflect on the future. A meaningless, (22) world is an insecure world. We do not like extensive insecurity. When it (23) to human behavior we infer meaning and (24) to make the behavior understandable.
(25) all this means is that people develop "quasi theories" of human behavior, that is, theories that are not developed in a (an)  (26) , scientific manner. When doing so, people believe they know (27) humans do the things they do.
    Let’s consider an example. In the United States people have been (28) with the increasing amount of crime for several years. The extent of crime bothers us; we ourselves could be victims. But it (29) bothers us that people behave in such ways. Why can such things happen? We develop quasi theories. We (30) concerned about the high crime rate, but we now believe we (31) it: our criminal justice system is (32) ; people have grown selfish and inconsiderate as our moral values weaken (33) the influence of liberal ideas; too many people are (34) drugs. These explanations suggest possible solutions. (35) the courts; put more people in jail as examples to other lawbreaker. There is now hope that the problem of crime can be solved if only we (36) these solutions. Again, the world is no longer meaningless nor (37) so threatening. These quasi theories (38) serve a very important function for us. But how accurate are they? How (39) will the suggested solutions be? These questions must be answered with (40) to how people normally go about developing or attaining their quasi theories of human behavior.
选项 A、reason
B、consider
C、understand
D、regard
答案A
解析 本题测试词义搭配。reason意为“说服，推论”，指运用推理判断的能力，作逻辑思考；consider意为“考虑，认为”，指仔细考虑，把……看作；understand意为“懂得，熟悉”，指知道和了解……的性质和重要性；regard意为“看待，当作”，指以某种特殊的方式看待或思考。所填之词应该与后面的think in abstract terms(用抽象的术语思考)意思相近，所以应该选A。
