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】______.

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。
