    The many mothers of 1820 who belonged to the early "maternal (母亲的) associations" struggled to【C2】________the ideas about child raising that had been【C3】________in the 18th century. They had always been told that the spoiled child stood in danger of having trouble later in life (when exposed to all the【C4】________of the world) and, more importantly, stood in danger of【C5】________ruin.

As one mother wrote, "No child has even been known, since the earliest period of the world, destitute (缺乏的) of an evil disposition however sweet it appears.

    By freeing the child from its evil nature, parents believed they could then guide the child into acquiring the right character traits, such as honesty, industriousness, and society.

选项
答案 B
解析 分析句子结构可知，该空所在句子是一个由by which引导的非限制性定语从句，该从句的主语就是前面的先行词depravity，谓语是meant，空格前the child’s是定语，因此可以断定这里缺少一个名词。剩下的名词有impulses、principles和descriptions三项。根据此处语境depravity(堕落)和curbed only by breaking the will(通过打破他们的意愿才能被约束)可知，只有impulses(冲动)是正确答案。
