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] 【C9】
选项 A、even
B、also
C、yet
D、still
答案 B
解析 联结词衔接题。句意为：我们也为人们为什么会犯罪而感到不安。这里与上文是并列关系，上文提到我们为自己可能成为受害者而关注犯罪问题，这里说我们也为人们为什么会犯罪而感到不安。选项C yet正好与原文意思相反，排除；选项D still通常指“到了某个时段，仍然还…”，含有不满的情绪在里边，也可指“尽管…，依然”，有转折和让步的意味，与文章的逻辑不合；文中也没有递进的意思，所以排除选项A ；只有选项B also合适。
