问题     In any society, no matter how【C1】______, some individuals have authority【C2】______others, at least within a limited sphere. Obedience is particularly relevant as societies get more【C3】______, where the spheres【C4】______authority can be【C5】______, become much more differentiated. Teachers assign homework, doctors order intravenous feedings, and policemen stop automobiles【C6】______pupils, nurses, and motorists generally【C7】______. Their obedience is based on an【C8】______recognition that the persons who【C9】______the orders are operating within their【C10】______domain of authority. If this domain is【C11】______, obedience is unlikely. Policemen can’t order motorists to【C12】______lists of irregular French verbs or to【C13】______two aspirins and go to bed.
    Some tendency to obey authority is a vital cement that holds society together; without it, there【C14】______chaos. But the atrocities of this century — the slaughter of the Armenians, the Nazi death camps — give terrible proof that this disposition to obedience can also become a corrosive poison that destroys our sense of humanity. Some of these atrocities could not have been 【C15】______【C16】______the obedience of tens or hundreds of thousands and the acquiescence of many more. How could such obedience have come【C17】______? Attempt to answer this question has focused on【C18】______of the two factors. One【C19】______the personality structure of the blindly obedient individual; the other emphasizes the【C20】______situation in which the obedient person finds himself. [br] 【C3】
选项 A、complex
B、complicated
C、simple
D、small
答案 A
解析 篇章题。上下文理解题。本句最后说权威的范围become much more differentiated(变得更加不同)，因此，社会情况也应与之相应。complex“复杂的，合成的，综合的”，指由许多不同的、有关联的部分组织起来的整体，其复杂程度需要仔细的研究和足够的知识才能有所理解，如：The composertransformed a simple folk tune into a com—plex set of variations．这位作曲家把一首简单的民歌小调改编成一首复杂的变奏曲。complicated“复杂的，混乱的，麻烦的”，一般用来修饰事件、构造、机械等，主要强调各部分之间的细微关系，指事物因很多互相纠合、不易辨认的关系而变得复杂，难以理解、解决或处理，如：a complicated pieceof machinery一件复杂的机械。从以上分析可看出，此处指社会的各构成部分愈加复杂，因此，complex为正确答案。simple表“简易，普通”，如：a simple task一项简单的任务。其意与上下文相抵触，不能选。small“小的”，也不合题意。
