Of wealth, power and prestige, power is the hardest to measure. Most studies are nothing more than an average of 【C2】______ about where power is found. Many forms of power are so 【C3】______ hidden that only its holders know the source. Because it’s so hard to 【C4】______ , and tied to ideology, the subject of power is a source of much 【C5】______ in sociology. Some maintain that power in America is concentrated in the 【C6】______ of a few people who have a common 【C7】______ and who tend to act together. Wright Mills 【C8】______ that America is 【C9】______ by a "power elite". Others believe that power in America is 【C10】______ among many groups and people.

选项
A、cut
B、scattered
C、assigned
D、divided
答案
D
解析
动词上下文理解题。上文说权力集中(concentrated),而另一些社会学家主张分权,只有选项 D divide“划分,分割”合适。选项A cut意思是“删减,切断”,意思不合适;近义词选项B scatter表示“杂乱地朝不同的方向分离或走开”,不合题意;选项C assign表示“分配,指派;归于,归属”,固定搭配为sth.is assigned to sb.。
