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 考查名词辨析。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。
