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 tile increasing a mount 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, tile 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] 【C19】
选项 A、effective
B、sufficient
C、valid
D、reliable
答案 A
解析 形容词语义题。句意为：这些建议措施在多大程度上起作用呢?A effective意思是“有效的，起作用的”，合乎题意。而选项B sufficient表示“充分的，富足的”；选项[V]valid则表示“(法律上)有效的，有根据的，正当的”；选项D reliable是个干扰项，表示“可靠的，可信赖的”，一般指的是某个事物的真实性，可信度。而这里要与solution搭配，只能是说解决方案的有效性，不能说可信度，所以予以排除。
