Historically, humans get serious about avoiding disasters only after one has just struck them. 【C1】______ that logic, 2006 should have been a breakthrough year for rational behavior. With the memory of 9/11 still【C2】______ in their minds, Americans watched hurricane Katrina, the most expensive disaster in U.S. history, on 【C3】______TV. Anyone who didn ’t know it before should have learned that bad things can happen. And they are made【C4】______ worse by our willful blindness to risk as much as our 【C5】______to work together before everything goes to hell.
Granted, some amount of delusion is probably part of the 【C6】______ condition. In A.D. 63, Pompeii was seriously damaged by an earthquake, and the locals immediately went to work 【C7】______, in the same spot—until they were buried altogether by a volcano eruption 16 years later. But a 【C8】______of the past year in disaster history suggests that modern Americans are particularly bad at 【C9】______ themselves from guaranteed threats. We know more than we【C10】______ did about the dangers we face. But it turns【C11】______that in times of crisis, our greatest enemy is 【C12】______ the storm, the quake or the【C13】______itself. More often, it is ourselves. So what has happened in the year that【C14】______ the disaster on the Gulf Coast. In New Orleans, the Army Corps of Engineers has worked day and night to rebuild the floodwalls. They have got the walls to【C15】______ they were before Katrina, more or less. That’s not 【C16】______, we can now say with confidence. But it may be all【C17】______can be expected from one year of hustle.
Meanwhile, New Orleans officials have crafted a plan to use buses and trains to【C18】______ the sick and the disabled. The city estimates that 15,000 people will need a【C19】______ out. However, state officials have not yet determined where these people will be taken. The【C20】______with neighboring communities are ongoing and difficult.
【C5】
选项
A、reluctance
B、rejection
C、denial
D、decline
答案
A
解析
考查名词辨析。空前的blindness和risk表明,本空应填一个含有否定意义的词,后三项rejection,denial,decline都表示“拒绝”,故均可排除。A.reluctance意为“不情愿,勉强”,表示否定意义,符合语境。
