Rumor is the most 【S1】______ way of spreading stories—by passing them on from mouth to mouth. But civilized countries in normal times have better 【S2】______ of news than rumor. They have radio, television, and newspapers. In times of stress and 【S3】______, however, rumor emerges and becomes widespread. At such times the different kinds of news are in 【S4】______, the press, television, and radio versus the grapevine.
Especially do rumors spread when war requires censorship(审查,检查) on many important matters. The customary news sources no longer give out enough information. Since the people cannot learn through legitimate(合法的,正规的) channels all that they are anxious to learn, they pick up "news" wherever they can and when this 【S5】______, rumor thrives.
Rumors are often repeated 【S6】______ by those who do not believe the tales. There is a fascination about them. The reason is that the cleverly designed rumor gives expression to something deep in the hearts of the victims—the fears, suspicions, forbidden hopes, or daydreams which they hesitate to 【S7】______ directly. Pessimistic(悲观的) rumors about defeat and disasters show that the people who repeat them are 【S8】______ and anxious. 【S9】______ rumors about record production or peace soon coming point to complacency(满足,自得) or confidence—and often to 【S10】______.
Word Bank:
A. confusion I. happens
B. important J. sources
C. voice K. competition
D. forever L. peace
E. common M. overconfidence
F. Pressimistic N. Optimistic
G. worded O. even
H. primitive
选项
答案
H
解析
根据上下文,此处应选填一个形容词,下一句谈到文明社会在正常时期有比谣传更好的传播途径,也就是说,谣传是原始的,非文明的,由此看来,H项primitive合适。
