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、decrease
B、lessen
C、intensify
D、aggravate
答案 B
解析 语义衔接题。由However,we should及but we should可知，本空所在句在意思上与上一句并列。本句在讲，虽然不可能消除由信任所有人，所有事带来的所有的危险，但应当尽可能地 这些危险，显然，本空应填一表示“减少，降低”意思，且与risks搭配使用的词，首先排除[C]intensify“增强，加剧”及[D]aggravate“加重，加剧”。[A]decrease“减小，减少”与表示具体数量的词搭配使用，故也排出。[B]lessen“减少，降低”一般与标示程度等抽象意义的词搭配使用，故为本题答案。
