问题     They drive hybrid cars, if they drive at all, shop at local stores, if they shop at all and pay off their credit cards every month, if they use them at all.
    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.
    The acronym(首字母缩略词)comes from The Sunday Telegraph of London, which noted that an increasing number of rich young Britons are【C3】______aware, concerned about the environment and given less to【C4】______than to giving money to charity.
    Yawns sound dull, but they are the new movers and shakers, their【C5】______big and bold. They are men and women in their 20 s, 30s and 40 s who want nothing less than to【C6】______the world and save the planet.
    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】______.
    The high-tech world has produced some Yawns, but more and more are appearing in every walk of life. In fact, Yawns are a subset of a growing global movement of the eco-socially aware.
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] 【C8】
选项
答案 H
解析 空格位于and后面，与动词quit构成并列谓语动词，又因本句阐述的是2004年的事情，quit是过去式，故此处应填入动词过去式。根据上下文语义关系，Blagsvedt辞掉了微软的工作，然后开办了babajob．com和babalife．com两家网站，故空格中应填入launched“开办，发起”。备选的动词过去式tracked意为“追踪”，不符合文意，故排除。
