问题     The English national character is dualistic: One aspect is conservative, the other extroverted (性格外向的). The pub is a fine example of the conservative aspect of English character. The pub, unlike the bar in the U.S., is a focal【C1】________for the "locals." One goes to the pub for the same reasons one used to go to church: for fellowship and spiritual【C2】________. There is nothing flashy or plastic about most pubs. Many look like one’s living room, full of soft chairs, couches, a fireplace, and bright lights. The pubs keep【C31】________ hours, too. There are no all-night or 3 A.M. public bars. When the pubs close everyone goes home. The pub represents【C4】________with control and in good taste.
    This control is【C5】________in English humor. Most Americans find nothing【C6】________in English comedy shows, since English humor is word oriented while American humor is more action oriented. The same control that is found in English pubs and humor is also found in the English【C7】________of living. Where else does one stand in line quietly for the bus or the taxi?
    However, there is another side to the English Character—the【C8】________the adventurous, and the innovative. It was not the U.S. but conservative England that produced the Beatles with their long hair and sounds that have【C9】________a decade of rock musicians and adolescents.
    The English are innovators and experimenters in many areas: A. S. Neill’s Summerhill has become the model for progressive education. R. D. Laing claims that it is not the individual who is insane but his society, which【C10】________categorizes him and forces him to fit into abstract norms.
    A) concrete       E) influenced   I) funny       M) orthodox
    B) enlightenment  F) indignantly  J) pace        N) constantly
    C) bizarre        G) point        K) perception  O) exemplified
    D) pleasure       H) amplified    L) respectable
【C2】
选项
答案B
解析 此处需填入spiritual修饰的名词，与fellowship(伙伴关系)一起说明去教堂的原因。去教堂应该是为了心灵上的“觉悟”，enlightenment“启迪；觉悟”与宗教相关，故为答案。
