They may have【C1】______income, but they live below their means, in a conscious effort to tread【C2】______on the earth.
They are a new breed of "generation" , Young and Wealthy but Normal, or Yawns.

Take Sean Blagsvedt, who【C7】______from Seattle to India in 2004 to help build the local office of Microsoft Research. Moved by young children begging on the streets, Blagsvedt quit Microsoft and【C8】______two networking sites, babajob. com and babalife. com, to link India’s vast pool of【C9】______workers with the people who need labor. The larger goal—to reduce【C10】______.

A)change I)lightly
B)consciously J)moved
C)consuming K)overturn
D)crucial L)potential
E)desires M)poverty
F)disposable N)socially
G)dreams O)tracked
H)launched [br] 【C2】
选项
答案
I
解析
空格位于动词tread与介词短语on the earth之间,故应填入副词修饰tread。前一句说这些人有足够的收入,却过着低于自己财富水平的生活,介词短语表目的,说明他们这样做是为了有意识地“轻踩大地”,可以引申理解为:为了保护地球。故空格处应填入lightly“轻轻地”。备选的副词中,consciously意为“有意识地”;socially意为“社会地,在社会中”,均不符合文意,故排除。
