[br] 【C8】

选项 A、power
B、strength
C、forces
D、labors

答案 C

解析 此句意为:美国商业主义(的影响)却致力于让我们不开心(美国商业主义让人 们总是不开心)。force作及物动词,意为“影响”;strength意为“力量”,strength of sb./sth.可表示“某人的力量(自然的力量),如:To lift this box,a lot of strength is required.提起这个盒子需要很大的力量;另外,strength of sth./sb.还可以表示“某人/某物的优点/强项”,如:Everyone and everyone has its own strengths and weaknesses.每个人每个事务都有自己的优势与劣势。power表示“力量”,而labors表示“劳动力”,显然C为正确答案。
