    Brad Bushman, a psychologist at Ohio State University, and his colleagues asked nearly 500 volunteers to play a simple game. The subjects, an even mix of women and men, believed they were competing(2)_____ an opponent to press a button as quickly as possible.

Half the participants then received enough alcohol mixed with orange juice to make them legally(10)_____, and the other half received a drink with a very (11)_____ amount of alcohol in it. Subjects who expressed little interest in consequences were more likely to(12)_____ longer, stronger shocks. In the (13)_____ group, they were slightly more aggressive than people who(14)_____ about consequences. When drunk,(15)______, their aggressiveness was off the charts. "They are(16)_____ the most aggressive people in the study," Bushman says.

选项 A、experimental
B、opponent
C、sober
D、original
答案 C
解析 本句中的they指代前文提到的对行为后果几乎不关心的研究对象(subjects who．．．)。本句提到这组人只比关心后果的人稍微好斗一点(slightly more aggressive)，后一句说到他们醉酒的状态，由此可知本句这里指的是没醉的时候，故填入sober“清醒的”。
