参考答案: B
参考解析: 此处考察词义辨析。第段首句提出主题句:trust is a tricky business(信任是一个奇怪的东西)。后面进步对该主题句进行解释说明:On the one hand,it’s a necessary condition for —many worthwhile things: child care,
friendships,etc.(一方面,信任对许多重要事情来说是必要条件,比如照看孩子,友谊等),这句话在说信任的好处。On the other hand,putting your.____in the wrong place often carries a high____.(另一方面,把…放在错误的地方往往会带来巨大.…),显然这句话依旧在解释主题词“trust”,并且根据空格所在句中的关键词“wrong place”,本句应该在说信任不当的弊端,所以空格处应该填入一个负向感情色彩的词,故A选项benefit和D选项hope排除,而C选项debt(债务)带入之后语义不当,故正确答案为B price(代价)。
