问题     Whom can you trust these days? It is a question posed by
David Halpern of Cambridge University, and the researchers at the
Downing Street Strategy Unit who take an interest in "social
capital". In intervals they go around asking people in assorted【M1】______
nations the question: "Generally speaking, would you say that
most people can be trusted?"
    The results are fascinated. The conclusion that leaps from the【M2】______
figures and into sensational headlines are that social dislocation,【M3】______
religious decline, public scandals, family fragmentation and the
fear of crime have made us more trusting. Comparative surveys【M4】______
over 40 years suggest that British trustfulness had halved: in the【M5】______
1950s 60 per cent of us answered "yes, most people can be
trusted", in the 1980s 44 per cent, today only 29 per cent. Trust
levels also continue to fall in Ireland and the US—meanwhile, the
Norwegians, Swedes, Danes and Dutch express tremendous
confidence in one and another’s honesty: levels are actually rising.【M6】______
In Mexico and Japan the level of trust is also increasing, that is【M7】______
interesting if mild bewildering. And the Palme d’Or(金棕榈奖)【M8】______
for mutual suspect goes to the Brazilians—with less than 3【M9】______
per cent replying "yes"—and the Turks with 6.5 per cent The French,
apparently, never trusted each other and still don’t. Nevertheless we【M10】______
become less Scandinavian and more French(or Turkish)every year.
【M4】
选项
答案more一less
解析 语篇错误。根据下文提到的各国信任度的不断下降，可以推断出此处more是不符合语境的。且前半句提到的社会混乱、宗教衰落、公众丑闻、家庭破裂以及对犯罪的恐惧这些负面的因素，应该是造成我们不那么信任的原因。故将more改成less。
