问题     For many young people, the late 1960s was a period of revolt against the moral values that had been the strength and pride of the past generations. They did not want to be hard working and thrifty as their【C1】______ had been. They rejected the idea that duty must come 【C2】______pleasure, and that individuals must make【C3】______ when it is necessary for the good of their children or of their community. They【C4】______ patriotism as the cause of wars, and rejected all forms of【C5】______—whether in government, organized religion, school, or family.
    It was a【C6】______ time for their elders. Previously happy parents found themselves【C7】______ by their young rebels, who accused them of being too 【C8】______with money and too anxious to impress the neighbours. " True success," the young people【C9】______, is not a matter of money or position. It’s a matter of self-fulfilment. And self-fulfilment【C10】______ of reaching one’s goals and achieving happiness in one’s own way 【C11】______ paying attention to rules, duties, or the opinions of others. We do have a duty to ourselves that is more important【C12】______duty to others.
    Most parents found it【C13】______to accept their children’s attitude. They themselves had been brought【C14】______to respect traditional values; they had also learned to respect money because it was 【C15】______ during their teenage years. They had married in the late 1930s or early 1940s, at【C16】______when it was explained again and again that an unhappy childhood produces emotionally【C17】______ adults. A married couple’s first duty, 【C18】______, was to think of their children’s happiness. On the other hand, while Mom and Dad were making sacrifices, they expected their children to 【C19】______the rules of "nice" behavior, and grow up into adults that parents can be proud of. There were precisely the ideas that the young【C20】______of the 1960s rejected. [br] 【C7】
选项 A、scotched
B、scooped
C、scorned
D、scorched
答案 C
解析 动词辨析题。[A]scotched“镇压，粉碎”；[B]scooped“用勺舀，抢先报道”；[C]scorned“轻蔑，拒绝，藐视”；[D]scorched“烧焦”。由于本句后半部分提到“他们指责父母太为钱操心，太急于在邻居面前摆阔”，所以[C]scorned符合原文语境。
