Nowadays, something has gone terribly wrong with our once-proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of【C1】______ A key ingredient is being【C2】______ , and I think I know what it is: accountability. Accountability isn’t hard to【C3】______ . It means that every person is responsible【C4】______ his or her actions and【C5】______ for their consequences. Of the many values that hold civilization【C6】______ —honesty, kindness, generosity, decency accountability may be the most important of all,【C7】______ it, there can be no respect, no trust, no law and【C8】______ , no society.
My job【C9】______ a police officer is to impose accountability【C10】______ people who refuse, or have never learned. But as every cop knows, external controls on people’s【C11】______ are far less effective than【C12】______ restrains such as guilt, shame and embarrassment. Yet more and more, especially in our large cities and suburbs, these inner restraints are【C13】______ .
The main cause of this breakdown is a radical【C14】______ in attitudes. Thirty years ago, if a crime was【C15】______ , society was considered victimized. Now, in a shocking reversal, it’s the criminal who is considered victimized: by his underprivileged upbringing, by the school that didn’t teach him to read, by the church failed to reach him with moral【C16】______ , by the parents who didn’t provide a【C17】______ home.
I don’t believe it. Many others in equally disadvantaged circumstance choose not to engage【C18】______ criminal activities. If we exempt the criminal even partly,【C19】______ accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything. We【C20】______ need more and more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one responsible for it. [br] 【C3】
选项
A、identify
B、differentiate
C、confine
D、define
答案

动词辨义题。本处意思是:给“责任感”下定义不难。由下文的it means可知下文实在解释 accountability,故选D项define“下定义”。
