原文第五段:In a 2014 study,for example,Malti looked at 244 children.Using caregiver assessments and the children’s self-observations,she rated each child’s overall sympathy level and his or her tendency to feel negative emotions after moral transgressions.Then the kids were handed chocolate coins,and given a chance to share them with an anonymous child.For the low-sympathy kids,how much they shared appeared to turn on how inclined they were to feel guilty.The guilt-prone ones shared more,even though they hadn’t magically become more sympathetic to the other child’s deprivation.
題目:The word“transgressions”(Line 4,Para.5)is closest in meaning to ___.
A.teachings
B.discussions
C.restrictions
D.wrongdoings
解析:
[D]wrongdoings
根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞transgressions可以定位到第五段第二句Using caregiver assessments and the children’s self-observations,she rated each child’s overall sympathy level and his or her tendency to feel negative emotions after moral transgressions.根據(jù)第二句中的feel negative emotions after moral transgressions.可以看到negative emotions來源于transgressions.而negative emotions表示負面情緒是貶義的,因此對比4個選項,可以得出答案是D選項wrongdoings.
