问题     Not too many decades ago it seemed "obvious" both to the general public and to sociologists
that modern society has changed people’s natural relations, loosed their responsibilities to
kins and neighbors, and substituted in their place for superficial relationships with passing
acquaintances. However, in recent years a growing body of research has revealed that the
"obvious" is not true. It seems that if you are a city resident, you typically know a smaller
proportion of your neighbors than you if you are a resident of a smaller community. But, for
the most part, this fact has a few significant consequences. It does not necessarily follow
that if you know few of your neighbors you will know no one else.
    Even in very large cities, people maintain close social ties within small, private social
worlds. Indeed, the number and quality of meaningful relationships do not differ from more
and less urban people. Small-town residents are more involved with kin than do big-city
residents. Yet city dwellers compensate by developing friendships with people who share
different interests and activities. Urbanism may produce a different style of life, but the quality
of life does not differ between town and city. Nor are residents of large communities any
likely to display psychological symptoms of stress or alienation than are residents of smaller
communities. However, city dwellers do worry more about crime, and which leads them
to a distrust of strangers.

【M9】
选项
答案第14行在any和likely之间加more。
解析 该句的意思是“比起小社区的居民，大型社区的居民也不太可能表现出压力或疏离的心理症状”。根据意思，表达的是“不太可能”，因为涉及比较，所以将likely前面加上more。
