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 the increasing amount 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, the 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.
【C13】
选项 A、because
B、as
C、within
D、from
答案D
解析 介词衔接题。句意为：由于受到自由思想的影响，人们的道德价值观削弱，变得越来越自私和漠然。from在这里表示“因为，由于”，合乎题意。而选项A because后面需要接从句，而文中是短语，不合语法；选项B as作介词时表示“作为”，不合乎题意，作为连词时也要跟从句；选项 C within搭配不当，如果要说在什么影响之下，常用的搭配为under the influence of。
