People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed. It is not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is【C1】________and another is competitive.
Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of questions. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and【C2】________certain behaviors. There are no clear answers yet, but two【C3】________schools of thought on the matter have【C4】________. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from one another, and there is a great deal of【C5】________between proponents of each theory. The controversy is often【C6】________as "nature v. nurture".
Those who support the "nature" side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are【C7】________determined by biological and【C8】________factors. That our environment has【C9】________. if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory【C10】________that our behavior is predetermined to such a great degree that we are almost completely【C11】________by our instincts.
Proponents of the "nurture" theory, or,【C12】________they are often called, behaviorists, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts【C13】________determining how we will act. A behaviorist, B F. Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely【C14】________by their surroundings. The behaviorists’ view of the human being is quite【C15】________; they maintain that, like machines, humans【C16】________to environmental stimuli as the【C17】________of their behavior.
The social and political implications of these two theories are profound. In the United States, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests. This leads some "nature" proponents to conclude that blacks are biologically inferior to whites. Behaviorists,【C18】________, say that differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often deprived of many of the educational and other environmental【C19】________that whites enjoy.
Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior. In fact, it is quite likely that the【C20】________to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes.
【C16】
选项
A、respond
B、attribute
C、object
D、tumble
答案
A
解析
根据空格后的environmental stimuli(环境刺激)可知,面对环境刺激自然是要做出反应,故选A项respond,与to搭配表示“对……做出反应”。B项attribute to“归因于”,代入句中意思不通。C项object to“反对”,人类是无法反对环境刺激的。D项tumble to表示“明白,了解”,这与前面的like machines无法照应,machines是无法明白自然刺激的。
