问题     Unlike any other creature on this planet, humans can learn and under
stand, without having experienced. They can think themselves into other
people’s places. Of course, this is power that is morally neutral. One might use 【M1】______
such an ability to manipulate or control, just as much as to understand or sympathy. 【M2】______
And many prefer to exercise their imaginations at all. They choose to re- 【M3】______
main comfortably within the bounds of their own experience, never trouble 【M4】______
to wonder how it would feel to have been born other than they are. They can
refuse to hear screams or to peer inside cages; they can open their minds and 【M5】______
hearts to any suffering that does not touch them personally; they can refuse
to know. I might be attempted to envy people who can live that way, except 【M6】______
that I do not think they have any fewer nightmares than I did. Choosing to 【M7】______
live in narrow spaces leads to a form of mental agoraphobia, and that brings
its own terrors. I think the willfully imaginative see more monsters. They are 【M8】______
often more afraid. What is more, those who choose not to empathise enable
real monsters. For without ever committing to an act of outright evil our- 【M9】______
selves, we collude with it, through our own apathy. One of the many things I
learned at the end of that Classics corridor down which I ventured at the age
of 18, in search of something I could not then define, was this, written by the
Greek author Plutarch: What we achieve inwardly will change out reality. 【M10】______
【M1】
选项
答案∧power — a
解析 power通常用作不可数名词，但此处临时成为可数名词，原因是它带了关系分句that is morally neutral，整个短语的意思是“一种非善非恶的能力”。不可数名词的这类意义需要有a，表示“一种”，相当于a kind of。
