问题    Humans are unique in the extent to which they can reflect on themselves and others. Humans are able to 【C1】______ , to think in abstract terms, to reflect on the future. A meaningless, 【C2】______  world is an insecure world. We do not like extensive insecurity. When it 【C3】______  to human behavior we infer meaning and 【C4】______  to make the behavior understandable. 【C5】______  all this means is that people develop "quasi theories" of human behavior, that is,  theories  that  are  not  developed  in  a/an 【C6】______ , scientific manner. When doing so, people believe they know 【C7】______  humans do the things they do.
   Let’s consider an example.  In the United States people have been 【C8】______  with the increasing amount of crime for several years. The extent of crime bothers us; we ourselves could be victims.  But it 【C9】______  bothers us that people behave in such ways. Why can such things happen? We develop quasi theories. We 【C10】______  concerned about the high crime rate, but we now believe we 【C11】______  it: our criminal justice system is 【C12】______ ; people have grown selfish and inconsiderate as our moral values weaken 【C13】______  the influence of liberal ideas; too many people are 【C14】______  drugs. These explanations suggest possible solutions. 【C15】______  the courts; out more people in jails as examples to other lawbreaker. There is now hope that the problem of crime can be solved if only we 【C16】______  these solutions. Again, the world is no longer meaningless nor 【C17】______  so threatening.
   These quasi theories 【C18】______  serve a very important function for us. But how accurate are they? How 【C19】______  will the suggested solutions be? These questions must be answered with 【C20】______  to how people normally go about developing or attaining their quasi theories of human behavior. [br] 【C4】

选项 A、grounds
B、motives
C、conclusions
D、consequences

答案 B

解析名词理解题。句意为：当谈论到人们的行为，我们通过推断意义和动机来理解他们的行为。选项A ground是个干扰项，表示“理由，原因”，但是一般指的是促使采取行动的根本条件和依据。而在这里强调的是人们之所以这样行事的动机和目的，所以选择B 。选项C conclusion表结论，不合题意；选项D consequence则是指后果，意思正好相反。根据上下文，我们知道，要理解人们的行为，要靠推断其动机。
