问题      The process by means of which human beings arbitrarily make certain things stand for other things many be called the symbolic process.
     Everywhere we turn, we see the symbolic process at work. There are 【C1】______ things men do or want to do, possess or want to possess, that have not a symbolic value.
     Almost all fashionable clothes are 【C2】______ symbolic, so is food. We 【C3】______ our furniture to serve 【C4】______ visible symbols of our taste, wealth, and social position. We often choose our houses 【C5】______ the basis of a feeling that it "looks well" to have a "good address." We trade perfectly good cars in for 【C6】______ models not always to get better transportation, but to give 【C7】______ to the community that we can 【C8】______ it.
     Such complicated and apparently 【C9】______ behavior leads philosophers to ask over and over again, "why can’t human beings 【C10】______ simply and naturally." Often the complexity of human life makes us look enviously at the relative 【C11】______ of such live as dogs and cats. Simply, the fact that symbolic process makes complexity possible is no 【C12】______ for wanting to 【C13】______ to a cat and to a cat-and-dog existence. A better solution is to understand the symbolic process 【C14】______ instead of being its slaves we become, to some degree at least, its 【C15】______. [br] 【C14】______
选项 A、so that
B、in that
C、considering that
D、by reason that
答案 A
解析 “理解象征……不是使我们成为它的奴隶而是成为……”，此处应选表示结果和目的连词，所以用so that。其他三个选项都是表示原因的。
