问题    Anonymity is not something which was invented with the Internet. Anonymity and pseudonymity has occurred throughout history. For example, William Shakespeare is probably a pseudonym, and the real name of this 【C1】______ author is not known and will probably never be known.
   Anonymity has been used for many purposes. A well-known person may use a pseudonym to write messages, where the person does not want people’ s【C2】______of the real author【C3】______their perception of the message. Also other people may want to【C4】______certain information about themselves in order to achieve a more 【C5】______ evaluation of their messages. A case in point is that in history it has been【C6】______that women used male pseudonyms, and for Jews to use pseudonyms in societies where their【C7】______was persecuted. Anonymity is often used to protect the【C8】______of people, for example when reporting results of a scientific study, when describing individual cases.
   Many countries even have laws which protect anonymity in certain circumstances. For instance, a person may, in many countries, consult a priest, doctor or lawyer and【C9】______personal information which is protected. In some【C10】______, for example confession in catholic churches, the confession booth is specially【C11】______to allow people to consult a priest,【C12】______seeing him face to face.
   The anonymity in【C13】______situations is however not always 100%. If a person tells a lawyer that he plans a【C14】______crime, some countries allow or even【C15】______that the lawyer tell the【C16】______. The decision to do so is not easy, since people who tell a priest or a psychologist that they plan a crime, may often do this to【C17】______their feeling more than their real intention.
   Many countries have laws protecting the anonymity of tip-offs to newspapers. It is regarded as【C18】______that people can give tips to newspapers about abuse, even though they are dependent【C19】______the organization they are criticizing and do not dare reveal their real name. Advertisement in personal sections in newspapers are also always signed by a pseudonym for【C20】______reasons.
【C8】
选项 A、possession
B、honor
C、privacy
D、reputation
答案C
解析 本句意为“匿名的使用也用来保护人们的______，例如在发布科学研究结果时，或在描述个人案例时”。根据常识可以推测是“保护个人隐私”，因此C．privacy为正确答案。其他选项possession“财产”，honor“荣誉”，reputation“名誉”。根据后面的例子就可以看出，匿名并不仅仅在发生坏事的时候用，所以并不一定是为了保护名誉，文中也没明确提出是为了保护财产，故排除。
