23、就会阐述原因, B项中的because是关键词。故B项符合语境。2.D 由空处前文Freed对这一问题的解释,可知人们在电视上经常会看到打架、 竞争或是人与人相互不尊重的现象,因此容易效仿。故D项正确。3. G空处前句表明人类本质的社会化,而空处要对前句进行举例说明。人类本质社会化比较重要的表现就是与他人建立关系,同情则对这些关系起到了决定性的作用。因此,两句有很强的逻辑关系。故G项符合题意。4.F 根据空处前文“Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. ”,即同情是很多大公司甄选经理的标准之一,由此可知同情也是一种社会技能,可以帮助你在生活的很多领域获得成功。故F项符合题意。 5.C空处前句讲到培养同情心就要放下戒备真正聆听别人。那么反过来,有很多人只顾着自己的观点,很难培养同情心,由此可判断空处是对前句的补充。故C项符合题意。
