问题        A wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. So, as a police officer, I have some urgent things to say to good people.
     Something has gone terribly 【C1】______  with our once proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values. A key 【C2】______  is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability  
     Accountability isn’t hard to 【C3】______  It means that every person is responsible for his or her actions and 【C4】______ for their consequences. Of the many 【C5】______ that hold civilization together-honesty, kindness, and so on-accountability may be the most important.
     My job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who 【C6】______  , or have never learned, to impose it on themselves. 【C7】______ as every policeman knows, external controls on people’s behavior are far less effective than internal 【C8】______ such as guilt, shame and embarrassment.
      【C9】______  , there are still communities-smaller towns, usually-where schools maintain 【C10】______ and where parents hold up standards that proclaim: "In this family certain things are not 【C11】______  -they simply are not done! "
     Yet more and more, especially in our larger cities  and  suburbs,  these 【C12】______ restraints  are loosening. The main cause of this breakdown is a radical  shift  in 【C13】______ Thirty years ago, if a crime was 【C14】______ , society was considered the victim. Now, in a shocking 【C15】______  , it’s the criminal who is considered victimized: by his underprivileged upbringing, by the school that didn’t teach him to read, by the church that 【C16】______ to reach him with  moral guidance, by the parents who didn’t provide a 【C17】______ home.
     I don’t believe it. Many others in equally disadvantaged circumstances choose not to 【C18】______ in criminal activities. If we free the criminal, even partly, 【C19】______  accountability, we become a society of endless excuses 【C20】______ no one accepts responsibility for anything.
     We in America desperately need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one responsible for it.   [br] 【C7】
选项 A、So
B、Likewise
C、Then
D、But
答案 D
解析 逻辑关系题。前句说“警察的职责要让那些拒绝承担责任或者从来没有学会承担责任的人负起责任来”，后句说“所有的警官都知道，对人的行为进行外部控制远没有比人的自律来得有效”，因此选转折词But。
