I’m always baffled when I walk into a pharmacy and see shelves bursting with various vitamins, extracts and other supplements, all promising to accelerate or promote weight loss. Aisles of marketing genius belie (掩饰) the fact that, 【C1】 ________ weight loss is dictated by the laws of arithmetic. Economist Jessica Irvine wrote a book about how she used math to help her lose more than 18 kilograms. If calories taken in are less than calories 【C2】 ________ , weight shall be lost, and so it is with money.
Despite the 【C3】 ________ of financial products, services and solutions geared towards accumulating wealth, if all begins with the same 【C4】 ________ : getting ahead financially requires a reduction of spending, so that income is greater than expenses. I was reminded of this again recently listening to an interview with Nicole Haddow, the author of Smashed Avocado, explaining how she cracked the property market at 31. It was quite a 【C5】 ________ , given where she had been two years earlier.
Nicole didn’t celebrate her 30th birthday as she had 【C6】 ________ . She was sobbing at the dinner table with her parents, with whom she had just moved back in. She had no stable income, $ 12,000 in credit-card debt and no plan, but to her 【C7】 ________ , her father, an accountant, told her that her financial 【C8】 ________ wasn’t as bad as she thought. He said, on her income, with some changes, she would be able to buy an investment unit within two years, which she did.
Nicole admitted she was fortunate, as she was able to live with her parents and 【C9】 ________ her spending— and life—to get herself on track financially. Creating a gap between her income and spending required a paradigm shift and 【C10】 ________ sacrifice and commitment, but by going into financial lockdown, Nicole gained financial independence.
A) abundance F) expended K) permanently
B) astonishment G) feat L) plight
C) entailed H) fiscally M) prosper
D) envisaged I) impetus N) shatter
E) equation J) overhaul O) ultimately [br] 【C10】
选项
答案
C
解析
动词辨析题。空格所在句的谓语required是一般过去时。其后跟宾语a paradigm shift,由空格前面的并列连词and和后面的名词短语sacrifice and commitment可知,空格处需要填入动词的过去式作谓语,与required a paradigm shift并列。由第一个并列谓语“需要范式转变”可知,实现收入大于支出还需要牺牲和投入,因此空格处填入的动词应表达“需要”的意思,故C)entailed为答案。
