A wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. So, as a police officer, I have some urgent things to say to good people.
Something has gone terribly【C1】________with our once proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values. A key【C2】________is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability.
Accountability isn’t hard to【C3】________. It means that every person is responsible for his or her actions and【C4】________for their consequences. Of the many【C5】________that hold civilization together—honesty, kindness, and so on—accountability may be the most important.
My job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who【C6】________, or have never learned, to impose it on themselves.【C7】________as every policeman knows, external controls on people’s behavior are far less effective than internal restraints such as guilt, shame and【C8】________.
【C9】________, there are still communities—smaller towns, usually—where schools maintain【C10】________and where parents hold up standards that proclaim: "In this family certain things are not【C11】________—they simply are not done! "
Yet more and more, especially in our larger cities and suburbs, these【C12】________restraints are loosening. The main cause of this breakdown is a radical shift in【C13】________. Thirty years ago, if a crime was【C14】________society was considered the victim.
Now, in a shocking【C15】________it’s the criminal who is considered victimized: by his underprivileged upbringing, by the school that didn’t teach him to read, by the church that【C16】________to reach him with moral guidance, by the parents who didn’t provide a【C17】________home.
I don’t believe it. Many others in equally disadvantaged circumstances choose not to【C18】________in criminal activities. If we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything.
We【C19】________America desperately need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one【C20】________it.
【C16】
选项
A、managed
B、failed
C、expected
D、bothered
答案
B
解析
这里出现了几个by引导的并列结构,作方式状语。填入的动词与不定式搭配,相当于前后两句中的didn’t(没有做),故选B项failed“未能(做某事)”。据推测,罪犯被认为是受害者,是因为教堂没有在道德上引导他,A项managed与不定式to搭配时,表示“设法做了某事”,与文意刚好相反。C项expected“期望”用在句中表示教堂期待在道德上引导罪犯,也与文意相反。D项的bothered与不定式to搭配时,表示“费心做某事”,通常用于否定句中。
