A wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. So, as a police officer, I have some urgent things to say to good people.
Something has gone terribly【C1】______with our once proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values. A key【C2】______is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability.
Accountability isn’t hard to【C3】______. It means that every person is responsible for his or her actions and【C4】______for their consequences. Of the many【C5】______that hold civilization together—honesty, kindness, and so on—accountability may be the most important.
My job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who【C6】______, or have never learned, to impose it on themselves.【C7】______as every policeman knows, external controls on people’s behavior are far less effective than internal restraints such as guilt, shame and【C8】______.
【C9】______, there are still communities—smaller towns, usually—where schools maintain【C10】______and where parents hold up standards that proclaim: "In this family certain things are not【C11】______—they simply are not done! "
Yet more and more, especially in our larger cities and suburbs, these【C12】______restraints are loosening. The main cause of this breakdown is a radical shift in【C13】______. Thirty years ago, if a crime was【C14】______society was considered the victim.
Now, in a shocking【C15】______. it’s the criminal who is considered victimized: by his underprivileged upbringing, by the school that didn’t teach him to read, by the church that【C16】______to reach him with moral guidance, by the parents who didn’t provide a【C17】______home.
I don’t believe it. Many others in equally disadvantaged circumstances choose not to【C18】______in criminal activities. If we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything.
We【C19】______America desperately need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one【C20】______it.
【C7】
选项
A、So
B、Even
C、Then
D、But
答案
D
解析
前句说“警察的职责要让那些不承担责任或者从来没有学会承担责任的人负起责任来”,后句说“所有的警官都知道,对人的行为进行外部控制远没有比人的自律来得有效”。前者说警察做的是强制的他律,后者说警察知道他律不如自律有效。前后有转折的意味,因此选转折词D项But“但是”。
