Poverty exists because American society is an unequal one, and there are overwhelming political pressures to keep it that way. Any【C1】________to redistribute wealth and income in the United States will【C2】________be opposed by powerful middle- and upper-class interests. People can be relatively rich only if others are relatively poor, and since power is【C3】________in the hands of the rich, public policies will continue to reflect their interests rather than those of the poor.
As Herbert Gans (1973) has pointed out, poverty is actually【C4】________from the point of view of the nonpoor. Poverty【C5】________that "dirty" work gets done. If there are no poor people to scrub floors and empty bedpans (便盆) , these jobs would have to be【C6】________with high incomes before anyone would touch them. Poverty creates jobs for many of the nonpoor, such as police officers, welfare workers, pawnbrokers (典当商) , and government bureaucrats. Poverty makes life easier for the rich by providing them with cooks, gardeners, and other workers to perform basic chores while their employers enjoy more pleasurable activities. Poverty provides a market for【C7】________goods and services, such as two-day-old bread, run-down automobiles, or the advice of【C8】________physicians and lawyers. There is no【C9】________conscious "conspiracy" (阴谋) of the wealthy to keep the poor in poverty. It is just that poverty is an inevitable【C10】________of the American economic system, which the poor are politically powerless to influence or change.
A)attempt E)dubiously I) incompetent M)justifies
B) concentrated F)endowed J) inevitably N) outcome
C) criticism C) ensures K) inferior O) rewarded
D) deliberate H) functional L) invaluable [br] 【C5】
选项
答案
G
解析
动词辨义题。分析句子结构可知,此处空格所在句子的主语是poverty,其后是that引导的宾语从句,因此可以断定这里需要一个动词作该句子的谓语。由主语poverty,以及宾语从句的谓语动词gets的时态可知,这里需要填入一个动词的第三人称单数形式。符合语法条件的备选词汇有两个:ensures(确保,保证)和justifies(证明……正确)。此处文意为“贫穷可以确保脏活儿有人干”,ensure符合语境,故选G。
