问题     One in six. Believe it or not, that’s the number of Americans who struggle with hunger. To make tomorrow a little better, Feeding America, the nation’s largest【C1】______hunger-relief organization, has chosen September as Hunger Action Month. As part of its 30 Ways in 30 Days program, it’s asking【C2】______across the country to help the more than 200 food banks and 61,000 agencies in its network provide low-income individuals and families with the fuel they need to【C3】______.
    It’s the kind of work that’s done every day at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in San Antonio.

St. Andrew’s runs a food pantry (食品室) that【C5】______the city and several of the【C6】______towns. Janet Drane is its manager.
    In the wake of the【C7】______, the number of families in need of food assistance began to grow. It is【C8】______that 49 million Americans are unsure of where they will find their next meal. What’s most surprising is that 36% of them live in【C9】______where at least one adult is working. “It used to be that one job was all you needed,” says St. Andrew’s Drane. “The people we see now have three or four part-time jobs and they’re still right on the edge【C10】______.”
A) accumulate I) households
B) circling J) recession
C) communities K) reported
D) competition L) reviewed
E) domestic M) serves
F) financially N) surrounding
G) formally O) survive
H) gather [br] 【C2】

选项

答案 C

解析 空前的it’s asking表明,本空应填名词。空后的介词短语across the country(全国范围内)提示,该名词极可能是复数形式,C)communities和I)households入选。空后提到“帮助200多个食品库和61,000多个机构给个人和家庭提供食物”,这应该是团体而非家庭能做的事情,故答案为C)communities“团体”。
