When Barack Obama first ran for president, Emma Hamilton was part of the working class. Ms. Hamilton worked as a loader at a factory in Sumter, a(n)【C1】________ city of 40,000 in east-central South Carolina. In July 2008, however, after seven years on the factory floor, she mangled her hand between two heavy rollers. The【C2】________ was to leave her unable to work.
She lost her house three years later, in April 2011. She, her 20-year-old son and her dog moved into her teal Chevy van, where they have been living ever since,【C3】________ metal cans during the day and sleeping in a grocery-store car park at night.
The assistant, who【C4】________ Ms. Hamilton in hospital, was named Patricia Dunham. Ms. Dunham works at the Excelsior for 37.5 hours each week. At night she works behind the【C5】________ at a fast-food restaurant. She would earn $32,137.50 for working 61.5 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, before tax withholdings.
Ms. Dunham has three school-age children and a husband who is unable to work. Mr. Dunham has a prison【C6】________, and since 2010 he has had periodic seizures that leave him bedridden for days【C7】________ .
She and her husband are still paying off a $2,100【C8】________ they had to take out in 2010 to bury Mr. Dunham’s mother, and car payments are also a concern. Her medical office is within walking distance of her home, and her shift ends late and the streets are not the safest.
These are two snapshots of life on the American margins. Some 15% of Americans live below the【C9】________ line, as Ms. Hamilton does. Many more, like Ms. Dunham, have incomes above the poverty line but nevertheless cannot meet their families’ basic【C10】________ needs, and there are signs that their number is growing.
A. monthly B. record C. poverty D. beforehand
E. loan F. credit G. accident H. assisted
I. modest J. routine K. afterwards L. collecting
M. counter N. enormous O. checked [br] 【C4】
选项
答案
O
解析
词义辨析题。根据词性,此处应当填入动词过去式。可选范围是assisted“帮助,援助”,checked“检查”,因所填选项后有hospital一词,可判断Ms.Hamilton是到医院问诊,我们可由physical check-up“体检”推断,可锁定答案checked。
