Opportunities to make money mean competition and competition is stressful; it is often at its most【C2】______in the largest cities, where opportunities are greatest. The presence of huge numbers of people【C3】______involves more conflicts, more traveling, the overloading of public services and exposure to those deviants(不正常的人)and criminals who are drawn to the rich pickings of great cities. Crime has always【C4】______in the relative anonymity(匿名)of urban life, but today’s ease of movement makes its【C5】______more difficult than ever; there is much evidence that its extent has a direct relationship to the size of communities. City dwellers may become【C6】______in their homes by the fear of crime around them.
As a defense against these developments, city dwellers tend to use various【C7】______to try and reduce the pressures upon themselves: doors are kept locked; telephone numbers may be ex-directory; journeys outside the home are usually hurried, rather than a source of pleasure. There are other strategies, too, which are【C8】______harmful to the individual, for example, reducing awareness through drugs or alcohol. Furthermore, all these defensive forms of behavior are harmful to society in general; they cause【C9】______loneliness and destroy the community’s concern for its members.

选项
答案
K
解析
空前的its和force表明,本空应填形容词,A)widespread,B)intense,F)challenging,H)extensive和K)motivating入选。本句的前半部分提到,城市的生活总是涉及机会、回报和危险、压力之间的平衡。后一句提到,赚钱的机会就意味着竞争,竞争充满着压力。由此可见,城市生活的动力就是钱,故答案为K)motivating“有动力的,激发积极性的”。
