In the Age of Genetics, you no longer have to try to cut out smoking or
think twice about gobbling that candy bar in your desk drawer. And forget jogging in 【M1】______
a cold morning. The die was cast long ago, from the moment when the parental sperm 【M2】______
and egg first integrate. The resulting package of chromosomes has programmed every 【M3】______
step of your life. So sit back, relax and leave the driving with someone else. But one 【M4】______
problem remains: this new world order is at sharp odd with an older theism, that blame 【M5】______
can and must be assigned in every human transaction. We have built a vast judicial-
industrial complex that offers lawsuits for every need, satisfying various urges like the【M6】______
wish for fairness or revenge, for getting rich quick or simply getting your due. This all-
blame all-the-time approach applies to much more than determining culpability would a 【M7】______
neighbor trip on your lawn and break an arm. It also says that people are responsible for
their own health- and illness. It is your error if you develop cancer or a heart attack 【M8】______
because you didn’t eat, think or breathe right. You have allowed the corrosive effect of
unresolved anger or stress or poor self-esteem undermine your health. So if you are sick 【M9】______
or miserable or both, it’s your own darned fault. No wonder we fled. The transition from
the chaotic, barking family feud character of lawsuits to the sleek silence of a future
devotes to cloning and splicing genes surely derives from something larger than 【M10】______
scientific opportunity or our fascination with "Star Trek".
【M5】
选项
答案
odd→odds。
解析
odd和odds是两个不同意义的词,前者指的是“奇数的、奇怪的”,后者在此指“差别”。
