In the house where I grew up, it was our custom to leave the front
door on the latch at night. No one carried keys.
Today doors do not stay unlocked, thus for part of an evening. The【S1】________
era of leaving the front door open has gone forever. It has been replaced
of by locks, security chains, electronic alarm systems and tripwires【S2】________
hooked up to a police station or private guard firm. Many suburban
families even have sliding glass doors on their patios, with steel bars
elegantly building in so no one can pry the doors open.【S3】________
A recent public-service advertisement by an insurance company
featured not actuarial charts or a picture of a child’s bicycle with a【S4】________
padlock attached to it.
It is the insurance companies which pay for stolen goods, but who【S5】________
is going to pay for that the new atmosphere of distrust and fear is doing【S6】________
to our way of life? Who is going to make the psychological payment for【S7】________
the transformation of America from the Land of the Free to the Land of
the Lock?
For some reason we are satisfied when we think we are well-
protected; it does not occur us to ask ourselves; Why are we having to【S8】________
barricade ourselves for our neighbors and fellow citizens, and when,【S9】________
exactly, did this start to take over our lives?
Even a decade ago, most private businesses had a policy of
free access. Thus, today you have to carry some kind of access card to enter【S10】________
your place of work. Maybe the security guard at the front desk knows
your face and will wave you in most days, but the fact remains that the
business you work for feels threatened enough to keep outsiders away via
these "keys".
【S1】
选项
答案
thus—even
解析
副词误用。该句要表达的意思是“如今所有的门都是上锁的,甚至是傍晚的一段时间也要锁上。”可见前后之间是递进关系,不是因果关系。
