Urban life has always involved a balancing of opportunities and rewards against dangers and stress; its【C1】______force is, in the broadest sense, money. 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. Lack of informal social contact and【C10】______to the misfortunes of others, are amongst the major causes of urban crime.
A)widespread I)inevitably
B)intense J)solutions
C)strategies K)motivating
D)flourished L)combined
E)positively M)vigorously
F)challenging N)indifference
G)trapped O)control
H)extensive [br] 【C7】
选项
答案
C
解析
空前的use和空后的to表明,本空应填名词,空前的various提示,该名词为复数形式,C)strategies和J)solutions入选。本句中冒号后面的内容是对其前面内容的具体解释,即doors are keptlocked、telephone numbers may be ex-directory和journeys outside the home are usually hurried都是对“var—ious 42”的具体说明,而这些都是为try and reduce the pressures upon themselves而采取的“措施、做法”,故C)strategies“策略”符合此处语义。且下句中提到了“other strategies”,是对该空的复现。
