Social distancing is putting people out of work, canceling school and tanking the stock market. It has been【C1】______by fear, and it is creating even more fear as money problems and uncertainty grow. However, at its core is love, and a sacrifice to protect those most【C2】______to the coronavirus’ (冠状病毒 ) effects—the elderly, people with compromised immune systems, and those whose life-saving resources would be used up by a【C3】______epidemic.
Americans make life-saving decisions every day as a matter of course. We cut food into bite-sized pieces, we wear seatbelts, and we take care not to exceed the speed limit. But social distancing is【C4】______in that it is completely self-sacrificing. Those who will benefit may be the elderly relatives of the【C5】______person we didn’t pass in Starbucks, on the subway, or in the elevator.
Social distancing is millions of people making hundreds of sacrifices to keep the elderly alive. It doesn’t include the【C6】______to run from society or make an excuse to avoid one’s obligations—such as life-saving medical work or the parental obligation to buy groceries. What it does include is applying love through caution. And in doing so, it offers an【C7】______opportunity for those who care about the elderly to find new ways to love them.
If we’re not【C8】______as much in our normal work or school, we have extra time to call parents and grandparents. We can also ask elderly relatives how to best support them【C9】______and use our sacrifices as an opportunity to bring us, our community and the world【C10】______.
A) amazing F) oppressing K) temptations
B) closer G) premises D thriftier
C) driven H) random M) tickled
D) engaged I) sentimentally N) unique
E) malignant j) spiritually O) vulnerable [br] 【C3】
选项
答案
E
解析
[语法判断]空格前面为不定冠词a,后面为名词epidemic“流行病”。因此,空格处应为形容词,修饰epidemic。[语义判断]这句话描述的是那些救命资源都被流行病耗尽的人,因此这里用来修饰流行病的词应该是一个带有贬义色彩的词。E)malignant意为“致命的”,用来修饰疾病符合文义,故为答案。
