So it is almost inevitable that over the next few years, as labor markets struggle, the humanities will continue their long【C2】________. The labs are more glamorous (迷人的) than the libraries.
However, let me stand up for the history, English and art classes, even in the face of today’s economic realities. Studying the humanities improves your ability to read and write. You will have【C3】________power if you are the person in the office who can write a clear and concise memo.
Studying the humanities will give you a familiarity with the language of emotion. In an information economy, many people have the ability to【C4】________a technical innovation: a new MP3 player.

E) directly    J) murder    O) various [br] 【C6】

选项

答案 C

解析动词辨析题。空格位于help sb．do sth．结构中，由此可知，空格处需要填入一个动词。该段主要讲述学习人文学科可以使人们了解自己的激情、恐惧与渴望(即每个人心中的“大毛怪”)，空格所在句是此段的中心句，故可推出其句意为“学习人文知识可以帮助你与‘大毛怪’做朋友”，故C)befriend“和……交朋友”为本题答案。
