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.
【C10】
选项 A、lawful
B、legitimate
C、legislative
D、legal
答案B
解析 词汇题。词义辨析题。legitimate既可表“法定的，合法的”，也可表“合理的，正当的”，即被风俗、惯例、权威或合乎逻辑的事物所认可的，如：You are not allowed toleave here if you can’t give me a legitimateexcuse．如果你不能给我一个合理的理由，就不能离开这里。此处含义为根据风俗惯例符合情理的权力范围，因此，legitimate符合题意，为正确答案。lawful也可表“合法的，法定的，守法的”，指在法律允许范围内的，经法律允许、批准和认可的，如：He isthe lawful heir．他是法定继承人。本句说到的权力范围没有那么严谨，不一定与法律相关，因此，不合题意。legislative意为“立法的，有立法权的”，如：Congress is thenational legislative body of the UnitedStates．美国的立法机构是国会。legal也指“合法的，法定的”，指符合法律条文的或法律许可的、承认的，如：He was convincedthat his uncle’s business was legal and thendecided to buy it．他相信了他叔父的企业是合法的，于是决定购买这个企业。此处既没有涉及权力范围是否立法。也没有涉及其是否具备合法性，因此，后两个选项也不合题意。
