问题     Fifty years ago, most people’s daily levels of activity were equivalent to walking three to five miles a day. Today, the【C1】______ person fails to【C2】______that distance in a week. It’s【C3】______ the ratio of fatness has soared— with serious implications for health.
    What we have【C4】______in convenience from labour-saving devices over the past half-century, we have paid for【C5】______a sharp decline in physical activity. We use cars, buses or trains to【C6】______ work: our children are【C7】______to school: elevators and lifts have replaced【C8】______stairs in shopping centres, offices and apartment blocks. Washing machines, vacuum cleaners, dishwashers and electric mowers all reduce the effort required to【C9】______a clean and tidy home.

[br] 【C6】
选项 A、get into
B、get to
C、get in
D、get back
答案 B
解析 动词辨析题。句意为：我们开车、坐公交车或火车去上班……。[B]get to也有“到达”的意思，但和work连用表示“去上班”，故[B]正确。[A]get into表示“到达某地；(使)陷入，处于”，不能和work搭配，故排除；[C]get in也不能和work搭配，故排除；[D]get back表示“返回”，后面不需再接名词，故排除。
