问题     A wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. So, as a police officer, I have some urgent things to say to good people.
    Something has gone terribly【C1】________with our once proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values. A key【C2】________is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability.
    Accountability isn’t hard to【C3】________. It means that every person is responsible for his or her actions and【C4】________for their consequences. Of the many【C5】________that hold civilization together—honesty, kindness, and so on—accountability may be the most important.
    My job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who【C6】________, or have never learned, to impose it on themselves.【C7】________as every policeman knows, external controls on people’s behavior are far less effective than internal restraints such as guilt, shame and【C8】________.
    【C9】________, there are still communities—smaller towns, usually—where schools maintain【C10】________and where parents hold up standards that proclaim: "In this family certain things are not【C11】________—they simply are not done! "
    Yet more and more, especially in our larger cities and suburbs, these【C12】________restraints are loosening. The main cause of this breakdown is a radical shift in【C13】________. Thirty years ago, if a crime was【C14】________society was considered  the victim.
    Now, in a shocking【C15】________it’s the criminal who is considered victimized: by his underprivileged upbringing, by the school that didn’t teach him to read, by the church that【C16】________to reach him with moral guidance, by the parents who didn’t provide a【C17】________home.
    I don’t believe it. Many others in equally disadvantaged circumstances choose not to【C18】________in criminal activities. If we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything.
    We【C19】________America desperately need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one【C20】________it.
【C1】
选项 A、faulty
B、defective
C、mistaken
D、wrong
答案D
解析 gowronging with为固定搭配，意为“……出了问题”，故选D项wrong。A项faulty“有过失的，有缺点的”、B项defective“有缺陷的”和C项mistaken“犯错的，错误的”虽然与wrong近义，但均不能用于go…with的结构中。
