    They may have【C1】______income, but they live below their means, in a conscious effort to tread【C2】______on the earth.
    They are a new breed of "generation" , Young and Wealthy but Normal, or Yawns.

A)change I)lightly

C)consuming K)overturn
D)crucial L)potential
E)desires M)poverty
F)disposable N)socially
G)dreams O)tracked
H)launched [br] 【C2】
选项
答案 I
解析 空格位于动词tread与介词短语on the earth之间，故应填入副词修饰tread。前一句说这些人有足够的收入，却过着低于自己财富水平的生活，介词短语表目的，说明他们这样做是为了有意识地“轻踩大地”，可以引申理解为：为了保护地球。故空格处应填入lightly“轻轻地”。备选的副词中，consciously意为“有意识地”；socially意为“社会地，在社会中”，均不符合文意，故排除。
