问题     One in six. Believe it or not, that’s the number of Americans who struggle with hunger. To make tomorrow a little better, Feeding America, the nation’s largest【C1】______hunger-relief organization, has chosen September as Hunger Action Month. As part of its 30 Ways in 30 Days program, it’s asking【C2】______across the country to help the more than 200 food banks and 61,000 agencies in its network provide low-income individuals and families with the fuel they need to【C3】______.

St. Andrew’s runs a food pantry (食品室) that【C5】______the city and several of the【C6】______towns. Janet Drane is its manager.
    In the wake of the【C7】______, the number of families in need of food assistance began to grow. It is【C8】______that 49 million Americans are unsure of where they will find their next meal. What’s most surprising is that 36% of them live in【C9】______where at least one adult is working. “It used to be that one job was all you needed,” says St. Andrew’s Drane. “The people we see now have three or four part-time jobs and they’re still right on the edge【C10】______.”
A) accumulate I) households
B) circling J) recession
C) communities K) reported
D) competition L) reviewed
E) domestic M) serves
F) financially N) surrounding
G) formally O) survive
H) gather [br] 【C7】
选项
答案 J
解析 空前的the表明，本空应填名词，C)competition，J)recession和I)households入选。结合语境，文中提到“需要食物援助的家庭开始增多”，这应该是经济衰退带来的结果，故答案为J) recession“(经济的)衰退”。in the wake of意为“随着……而来，作为……的结果”．
