问题    At its best, any prison is so unnatural a form of segregation from normal life that-- like too-loving parents and too zealous religion and all other well-meant violations of individuality-it helps to prevent the vicitims from resuming when they are let out, any natural role in human society. At its worst, the prison is almost scientifically designed to develop by force--ripening every one of the antisocial traits for which we suppose ourselves to put people into prison (I say "suppose", because actually we put people into prison only because we don’t know what else to do with them). The prison makes the man who is sexually abnormal, sexually a maniac. The prison makes the man who enjoyed beating fellow drunks in a bar-room come out wanting to kill a policeman.
   Probably we cannot tomorrow turn all the so-called criminals loose and close the jails--though, of course that is just what we are doing by letting them go at the end of their sentences. No society cannot free the victims. Society has unfitted liar freedom. Doubtless, since the Millennium is still centuries ahead, it is advisable to make prisons as sanitary and well-lighted as possible, that the convicts may live out their living death more comfortably.
   Only keep your philosophy straight.  Do not imagine that when you have by carelessness in no inoculating them, let your victims get smallpox, you are going to save them or exonerate yourselves by bathing their brows, however grateful the bathing may be.  [br] Which of the following is closest in meaning to the last sentence but one?
选项 A、You can’t reform prisoners by kind treatment.
B、It is easy to catch diseases such as smallpox in prison.
C、Society makes criminalls; it shouldn’t feel it’s done enough for them by creating good prison conditions.
D、In any kind of political or social Conditions, it is natural that some people should turn out to be enemies of society.
答案 C
解析 本句起着承上启下的作用。从其前后两部分的叙述内容来看，作者觉得是选项C的内容，即“社会造成了犯罪，它不应该只是通过改善监狱条件就觉得做得足够了”。
