Americans have long prided themselves as being part of an optimistic society. But a new research describes Americans as pessimistic, believing the nation is in decline and that quality of life for【C1】______generations may be lower than it is today.
Defining the American Dream is not easy, although four definitions dominate people’s【C2】______of what it means to them, according to researchers at the Xavier University’s Institute for Politics and the American Dream: opportunity, freedom, family and financial success. Happiness, wealth, home ownership are among the things that【C3】______as less important in people’s views of what the dream means.
However people define it, they believe the American Dream is harder to achieve for this generation that it was for their parents’ generation. Sixty percent of those【C4】______by Xavier University said that was their conclusion. Even more—68 percent—said their children and grandchildren will find it more【C5】______to achieve than they have.
The results may not be【C6】______, given the state of the economy. The deep recession that has gripped the nation sent the unemployment【C7】______to 9.7 percent. Add to that the damage done to retirement savings accounts by the【C8】______decline in the stock market. Today, a majority of Americans—58 percent—see the country in decline. A smaller majority—52 percent—believe the world now【C9】______to many other places to see where the future is. It’s little wonder Americans are in a pessimistic【C10】______.
A) looks I) rate
B) mood J) supported
C) ratio K) sharp
D) rank L) hopes
E) surveyed M) perceptions
F) contemporary N) disappointing
G) difficult O) surprising H) future [br] 【C7】
选项
答案
I
解析
此处需填入名词。根据空后的9.7 percent可知此处表示“失业率”,unemployment rate为常用表达。不难选对rate。ratio侧重于表示比值,比如2:1,故排除。
