When children—and older people who should know better—think of pirates, they think of storybook characters.The most 【C1】fa__________ of these are Long John Silver in Treasure Island and Captain Hook in Peter Pan.These and other pirates sailed the seas in sailing ships and their flag was the "skull and crossbones." They robbed other ships and led exciting and 【C2】__________ (adventure) lives.They lived more than a hundred years ago and, although they were notorious, they were not completely wicked.This is the 【C3】__________(real) idea of pirates.The truth is very different.First, most pirates bore no 【C4】 res__________ to the storybook characters.They didn’t just rob other ships—they were murderers of the worst kind who killed for no【C5】rea __________.Second, pirates are not a thing of the past.There are probably as many—if not more-pirates on the seas today as there were in the past.Nowadays, however, they neither travel in sailing ships nor use swords.Modern pirates use fast motorboats and have machine guns and other 【C6】wea__________, which they use to kill the sailors and passengers on the ships that they attack.While pirates in history were usually caught and punished, most modern pirates are 【C7】ne__________caught because they are fast and there are too many of them.
Modern piracy is so serious that American sailing magazines urge their readers to take guns with them—the bigger, the 【C8】__________.They also advise them to have the most modern radios.Because many people have had problems with pirates, they don’t talk about the fish that they have caught or the【C9】__________(excite) of sailing anymore.They talk about machine guns and bullets and their escapes from pirate attacks.When we, therefore, think of pirates, we should not have 【C10】rom__________ ideas.We should remember that they are really some of the most dangerous and wicked men in the history of sea travel.

选项
答案
unrealistic
解析
空格的上文提到,虽然他们臭名昭著,但他们并不完全邪恶,而下文却说,真相大不相同。所以空格处表示的是这是对海盗不切实际的想法,根据所给的词real及后面的idea可知,本题应填入unrealistic。
