问题     In any society, no matter how【C1】______, some individuals have authority【C2】______others, at least within a limited sphere. Obedience is particularly relevant as societies get more【C3】______, where the spheres【C4】______authority can be【C5】______, become much more differentiated. Teachers assign homework, doctors order intravenous feedings, and policemen stop automobiles【C6】______pupils, nurses, and motorists generally【C7】______. Their obedience is based on an【C8】______recognition that the persons who【C9】______the orders are operating within their【C10】______domain of authority. If this domain is【C11】______, obedience is unlikely. Policemen can’t order motorists to【C12】______lists of irregular French verbs or to【C13】______two aspirins and go to bed.
    Some tendency to obey authority is a vital cement that holds society together; without it, there【C14】______chaos. But the atrocities of this century — the slaughter of the Armenians, the Nazi death camps — give terrible proof that this disposition to obedience can also become a corrosive poison that destroys our sense of humanity. Some of these atrocities could not have been 【C15】______【C16】______the obedience of tens or hundreds of thousands and the acquiescence of many more. How could such obedience have come【C17】______? Attempt to answer this question has focused on【C18】______of the two factors. One【C19】______the personality structure of the blindly obedient individual; the other emphasizes the【C20】______situation in which the obedient person finds himself.
【C11】

选项 A、overlapped
B、overridden
C、overstepped
D、overwhelmed

答案C

解析 篇章题。上下文理解题。上文已交待权威的实现需在一定的范围之内,因此,可以推断如果超越了这个合理的范围,就不会有服从的可能。选项overlapped可做及物动词,意为“重叠,与……部分相同或一致”,指有一个共同的区域或范围,如:Tiles arelaid to overlap each other.屋瓦是一块压一块地重叠放置的。overridden意为“制服,压倒,使无效”,如:The new rule overridesall the previous ones.新规则使以前的所有规则失效。可见此两选项均不符题意。overstepped意为“逾越,走过头,超出限度”,如:If you do so,you would overstepyour authority.如果你这样做,你就会越权。本句中overstep the domain表超越权威范围,正合题意,为正确答案。overwhelmed表“倾覆,淹没,制服”,如:The boat wasoverwhelmed by the waves.船被浪打翻了。没有“(权力)范围被倾覆”的说法,因此,此选项为错误选项。
