【C3】
选项 A、interaction
B、assimilation
C、cooperation
D、consultation
答案A
解析 本题要求判断空格处应填入什么名词，与with others搭配构成名词短语作through的介词宾语。首先排除assimilation，它不能与with搭配。空格所在的分句是they havelearned criminal behavior through______with others，其中介词through表明和其他人的……是孩子们学会犯罪的途径或方式。考生接下来要判断选项中哪个名词短语可以表示出一种学会犯罪的途径或方式。显然，只有interaction with others符合，意为和他人的相互影响，即受到坏人的影响(而学会了犯罪)。注意cooperation with多为褒义，而且也不能说是“通过合作”来学会犯罪。
