Our era witnesses many cases where our own liberty
contradicts with others’. Here is an example to show this delicate issue.
An old lady was walking down the middle of a street in Petrograd
to the great confusion of the traffic and with small peril to herself. 【S1】________
This was pointed out to her that the pavement Was the place for【S2】________
pedestrians. but she replied:“I’m going to walk where I like. We’ve
got liberty now. ”It did not occur to the lady that if liberty entitled the
pedestrian to walk down on the middle of the road, then the end of such【S3】________
liberty would be universal chaos. Everybody would be geeing in
everybody else’s way and nobody would get nowhere. Individual liberty【S4】________
would have become social anarchy.
There is a danger of the world getting liberty—drunk in these days
like the old lady, and it is just as well to remind ourselves of which the【S5】________
rule of the road means. It means that in order that the liberties of all
may be reserved, the liberties of everybody must be curtailed. When the【S6】________
policeman, say, at Piccadilly Circus steps into the middle of the road
and puts out his hand, he is the symbol not of tyranny, or of liberty. 【S7】________
You may not think so. You may, being in a hurry, and seeing your Car
pulling up by this insolence of office, feel that your liberty has been【S8】________
outraged. How dare this fellow interfere with your free use of the public
highway? Then, if you are a reasonable person, you will reflect that
when he did not interfere with you, he would interfere with no one, and【S9】________
the result would be that Piccadilly Circus would be the maelstrom that【S10】________
you would never cross at all. [br] 【S3】
选项
答案
去掉on
解析
介词冗余。该句意为“这位老妇人没有意识到如果是自由给了人们随便在街上行走的权利,那么这种自由的结果就是到处都是混乱。”walk down the road为固定搭配,意为“在街上行走”,故将on去掉。
