问题     Henry Fielding, the famous novelist who was also a London
magistrate, once made a night raid to two known hideouts in this【M1】______
city-within-a-city; he found seven men, women, and children packed
away in a few tiny stinking rooms. All of these people, included【M2】______
little children of five and six who were trained as pick-pockets, were
wanted for crime.
   Conditions like these bred more criminals. One of the typical
cases was that Jack Shepard, whose execution in 1724 was watched【M3】______
by two hundred thousand people. Shepard, the son of honest working
people, was an apprentice in a respectful trade, he ran away from it【M4】______
because he fancied that he had been ill-treated, and soon found it was【M5】______
easy to make more money by thieving as his father had done by a 【M6】______
lifetime of honest work.
   In Shepard’s day highwaymen committed robberies at broad     【M7】______
daylight, in sight of a crowd, and rode solemnly and triumphantly
through the town with danger of molestation. If they were chased,【M8】______
twenty or thirty armed men were ready to come to their assistance.
Murder was a everyday affair, and there were many people who  【M9】______
made heroes from the murderers.                                【M10】______ [br] 【M4】
选项
答案 respectful改成respectable
解析 respectful与respectable为容易混淆的近形词。事实上，它们的意义相去甚远，respectful表示“有礼貌的”，respectable表示“相当好的，体面的，应受尊敬的”。根据上下文的内容应为respectable。
