问题     Of all things in the world, I most dislike filling up forms; in fact, I have a 【C1】_____horror of it. Applying for a driving license, 【C2】_____for an evening course, booking a holiday abroad — everything nowadays seems to involve 【C3】_____information about one’s personal life and habits that has little or nothing to do with the matter 【C4】______hand. When applying for a job, it may be 【C5】______ some obscure interest to a 【C6】_____employer to learn that I collect stamps or had measles as a child, but why 【C7】_____he conceivably want to know that my father was a tobacconist who died in 1988?
    The authorities who 【C8】_____one to fill up forms, frequently demand answers to questions that one would hesitate to put 【C9】_____one’s intimate friends. The worst of it is that, when 【C10】______with such questions, my mind goes bland. Have I ever suffered from a serious illness? My mother always 【C11】_____me I was "delicate". Do I suffer from any personal defects? Well, I wear 【C12】_____lenses and my upper teeth and not my own, but perhaps the word "defects" 【C13】______to my character. Am I supposed to 【C14】______that I like gambling, and find it difficult to get up in the morning? 【C15】______of them are true.
    Of all, I think job applications are the 【C16】______. "Education" — previous experience — post held — give 【C17】______. Terrified by the awful warning about give false 【C18】______which appears at the bottom of the forms, I struggle to remember what exams I passed and how long I worked for what firms. 【C19】______hard I try, there always seems to be a year or two for which I cannot satisfactorily account and which I am certain, if left 【C20】______, will give the impression that I was in prison or engaged in some occupation too dubious to mention. [br] 【C11】
选项 A、ensured
B、insured
C、assured
D、reassured
答案 C
解析 近义词的区别。选项都有“确保，保证”的意思，但各有侧重，用法也不同。ensure表示“确保、担保，保证得到”，但在这里不能这样搭配；insure表示“给……保险”，与文意不符：assure是“明确地或有信心地告诉(某人)，向(某人)保证，使某人对某事(物)确信不疑或觉得肯定无误”，意思和用法都符合，故选C：reassure是“使……安心，再保证，使……恢复信心，打消……的疑虑”，意思不符，故不选。
