问题    When the job market worsens, many students figure they can’t indulge in an English or a history major. They have to study something that will lead【C1】________to a job. So it is almost inevitable that over the next few years, as labor markets struggle, the humanities will continue their long【C2】________. The labs are more glamorous (迷人的) than the libraries.
However, let me stand up for the history, English and art classes, even in the face of today’s economic realities. Studying the humanities improves your ability to read and write. You will have【C3】________ power if you are the person in the office who can write a clear and concise memo.
Studying the humanities will give you a familiarity with the language of emotion. In an information economy, many people have the ability to【C4】________a technical innovation: a new MP3 player. Very few people have the ability to create a great brand: the iPod. Branding involves the location and arousal (觉醒，激励) of【C5】________, and you can’t do it unless you are conversant (精通的) in the language of romance.
Finally, and most importantly, studying the humanities helps you【C6】________"The Big Shaggy". Over the past century or so, people have built【C7】________systems to help them understand human behavior: economics, political science, game theory and evolutionary psychology. But none completely explain behavior because deep down people have passions and【C8】________that don’t lend themselves to systemic modeling. They have yearnings and fears that【C9】________in an inner beast you could call "The Big Shaggy". If you’re【C10】________about "The Big Shaggy", you’ll probably get eaten by it.
A) affection  F) drives K) observe
B) aware    G) dumb    L) produce
C) befriend H) dwell    M) sense
D) blindly I) enormous  N) slide
E) directly J) murder O) various [br] 【C8】

选项

答案 F

解析名词辨析题。空格位于and之后，用and连接前后并列成分，因为passions为名词，由此可知，空格处需要填入一个名词。根据空格前的and可知，空格处所填的词应和passions并列作宾语，且与passions属同一语义场，是一个表达强烈感情的词。备选名词中drives“驱动力，干劲”符合此处句意，故F为本题答案。
