问题     Why do we have the political opinions we have and not another? How and why do our【C1】________change? The answers to these questions are complex. Differences of opinion are shaped by【C2】________life experiences: where you live; how you were【C3】________; whether you’re rich or poor. Emotion comes into the picture, and emotion has a【C4】________basis, at least in part. All of this and more combines into a mixed dish【C5】________a fixed recipe, even if many of the ingredients are known.
    Surprisingly, a recent experimental psychology suggests, our political beliefs may have【C6】________to do with a specific aspect of our biological makeup. In the mid-2000s, a political scientist【C7】________the neuroscientist Read Montague with a radical proposal—political orientation might be partly inherited, and might be【C8】________by our physiological reactivity to threats. To test their theory, they wanted Montague, who【C9】________the Human Neuroimaging Laboratory at Virginia Tech, to scan the brains of subjects【C10】________ they looked at a variety of images—including ones displaying disgusting scenes【C11】________ badly injured animals and dirty toilets—to see whether neural responses showed any【C12】________ with political ideology.
    Montague【C13】________ laughed at the idea, but the team returned with studies to argue their case, and eventually he signed on. 【C14】________ the data began rolling in, any skepticism about the project quickly【C15】________. The subjects, 83 in total, were first shown a random【C16】________ of neutral and emotionally provocative pictures—this second category contained both positive and negative images—while【C17】________ brain scans. Then they filled out a questionnaire seeking their views on hot-button political and social issues, in order to classify their general outlook on a【C18】________ from extremely liberal to extremely conservative. As Montague mapped the neuroimaging data against ideology, he recalls, "my jaw dropped." The brains of liberals and conservatives reacted in wildly different ways to【C19】________ pictures: Both groups reacted but different brain networks were stimulated. Just by looking at the subjects’ neural responses, in fact, Montague could【C20】________ with more than 95 percent accuracy whether they were liberal or conservative.
【C14】

选项 A、Since
B、Now that
C、When
D、Then

答案C

解析 本题需填入一个连词(短语),满足句意“_______数据开始源源不断地涌入,对该项目的任何怀疑很快________。”由本段首句可知,蒙塔古教授最初对这个项目并不看好,所以推断他抱有怀疑的态度。研究需要有数据支持,本段第二句讲的是进入到实验阶段的数据获取的重要性,所以这里表达的是时间状态,选项[C]When“当……时”符合原文语意,故为答案。
