Now,【C3】______, like many other traditional values, hard work is coming under【C4】______. In academic journals, conferences and classrooms, the idea of hard work is considered to be another of those【C5】______that the dominant forces of our society【C6】______on the rest of us.

To make matters【C12】______, Americans place an unusually high value on the idea of inborn ability.

选项
A、more
B、rather
C、other
D、less
答案
B
解析
语义衔接题。本题承接上题,既然欧洲人不看重努力工作,那么美国人与他们不同,即看重努力工作而不是无所事事。rather than为常用搭配,意为“而不是”,故答案为[B]。other than“除了;不同于”与文意不符;[A] more和[D] less是比较级,与此处语义不符。
