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.
【C14】
选项 A、are
B、will be
C、would be
D、would have been
答案C
解析 语法题。本句前面部分指出了一个现实情况——“服从对社会产生的作用”，时态为一般现在时。紧接着又说，如果没有“服从”(without it)社会将怎样，这显然是与现实相反的假设，那么后面所谈到的情况就应为与现实相反，因此，应采用虚拟的表达方式。选项中，只有would be表与现实相反的情况，所以为正确选项。would havebeen也可表虚拟，但指与过去相反的情况。而are和will be都不能表虚拟，因此，这三个选项都不合题意。
