问题     People like being trusted. They are annoyed, angry, or feel hurt if they are regarded with【C1】______. They think that they are【C2】______an injustice. They like being trusted for two reasons: (1) It is a tribute (敬意) to their honesty, truth, strength,【C3】______. kindness and good character; (2) They find it easier to cheat others. These two【C4】______suggest what our attitude towards trust in【C5】______should be. It is not a simple attitude. We must keep a balance between two【C6】______over suspiciousness and infantile (幼稚的) naivety.
    A parallel to our trust in people could be our trust in natural【C7】______. However careful we are, we cannot guarantee【C8】______safety for ourselves in the physical world, yet we act as【C9】______we can trust an ordered series of physical events. We take the bus to work in the morning【C10】______that we will arrive safely at our office or school. We have no【C11】______that we will. The bus could be【C12】______in an accident.
    If we were to take account of every accident that might happen to us we would never do anything. We would just【C13】______sitting at home. Even then we could never be absolutely【C14】______that the ceiling would not collapse on us. If we are to do anything at all, we must take risks. Of course we try to reduce risks to a【C15】______.
    Similarly with regard to people. Trusting them involves taking the risk of being【C16】______. Not trusting them places us outside the area of community activity,【C17】______trust is an essential bond in community living. In a competitive, materialistic world it would be【C18】______to trust everyone in everything. However, we should widen the area of trust as far as possible. We cannot eliminate all risks in such trust but we should【C19】______them as far as possible by reliance【C20】______intelligence and experience worth our own and those of adults whose reliability has been proven.

选项 A、certain
B、doubtful
C、suspicious
D、indifferent
答案 A
解析 语义衔接题。[B]doubtful和[C]suspicious为同义词，都意为“怀疑的，不确定的”，故可先排除。[D]indifferent通常与to搭配使用，表示“冷漠的，不关心的”，其后只能接表人或物的名词作宾语，不接从句，故排除；certain(that)……意为“确定／确信……”，与文意相符，故答案为[A]certain。
