The decline in moral standards--which has long concerned social analysts--has at last captured the attention of average Americans. And Jean Bethke Elshtain ,for one ,is glad.
The fact that ordinary citizens are now starting to think seriously about the nation’s moral climate, says this ethics(伦理学)professor at the University of Chicago, is reason to hope that new ideas will【S1】______forward to improve it.
But the challenge is not to be【S2】______. Materialism and individualism in American society are the biggest obstacles. "The thought that ’I’m in it for me’ has become deeply rooted in the national consciousness, "Ms. Elshtain says.
Some of this can be【S3】______to the disintegration of traditional communities, in which neighbors【S4】______out for one another, she says. With today’s greater mobility and with so many couples working, those bonds have been【S5】______,replaced by a greater emphasis on self.
In a 1996 poll of Americans, loss of morality【S6】______the list of the biggest problems facing the U. S. And Elshtain says the public is correct to sense that: Data show that Americans are【S7】______with problems uuheard of in the 1950s,such as classroom violence and a high rate of births to unmarried mothers. The desire for a higher moral standard is not a lament(挽歌)for some nonexistent "golden age", Elshtain says, nor is it a wishful(一厢情愿的)longing for a time that【S8】______opportunities to women and minorities. Most people ,in fact ,favor the【S9】______of prejudice.
Moral decline will not be【S10】______until people find ways to counter the materialism in society, she says. "Slowly, you recognize that the things that matter are those that can’t be bought."
A)strengthened B)weakened C)contributed

选项
答案
D
解析
attribute 与to 连用,意为“归因于”,例如:delays attributed to snow(因下雪而耽搁);David attributed his company’s success to the unity of all the staff and their persevering hard work.(大卫说他们公司之所以获得成功是由于全体员工的团结和坚持不懈努力工作的结果。)根据原文的意思,某些因素会导致传统社区的解体,所以attributed为答案。
