25. The word “transgressions” (line4 para5) is closest in meaning to________

25、【答案】[A] wrongdoings

【解析】根据题干要求，定位到第五段第二句话“Using caregiver assessments and the childrenss self-observations, they rated each child's overall sympathy level and his or her tendency to feel negative emotions after moral transgressions.”（通过看护者的评估和孩子们的自我观察，他们对每个孩子的总体同情水平和道德违规后的负面情绪倾向进行了评估）。“transgressions”前面出现了“to feel negative emotions”，情感属于消极贬义。对比四个选项，A项wrongdoings（坏事，不道德的行为）属于贬义词，与其情感色彩一致，故为正确选项。B项discussions （讨论）属于中性词。C项restrictions （限制、约束）属于中性词。D项teachings （教导）属于褒义词，故排除。
