They may have【C1】______income, but they live below their means, in a conscious effort to tread【C2】______on the earth.

F)disposable N)socially
G)dreams O)tracked
H)launched [br] 【C4】
选项
答案
C
解析
空格位于动词短语given to的后面,to为介词,故应填入名词或动名词,因than构成比较时,前后语法结构基本一致,所以可以由动名词短语giving money to charity判断空格处最好为动名词。文章前两段都提到这群人的简朴生活,本句还强调越来越多年轻富有的英国人有社会意识,关注环境,捐给慈善机构的钱应该是比自己消费的要多,故空格处应填consuming“消费”。备选的名词中,desires“欲望”、dreams“梦想”和poverty“贫困”从语法形式上和语义上都与原文不相符,故均排除。
