Virtually every activity that entails or facilitates in-person human interaction seems to be in the midst of a total meltdown as the coronavirus (冠状病毒) outbreak erases Americans’ desire to travel. Amtrak says bookings are down 50 precent and cancelations are up 300 percent. Hotels in San Francisco are experiencing【C1】______rates between 70 and 80 percent. Broadway goes dark on Thursday night. Universities, now emptying their campuses, have never tried online learning on this【C2】______.White-collar companies like Amazon, Apple, and the New York Times are asking employees to work from home for the【C3】______future.
But what happens after the coronavirus?
In some ways, the answer is: All the old normal stuff. The pandemic (大流行病) will take lives,【C4】______economies and destroy routines, but it will pass. Americans will never stop going to basketball games. They won’t stop going on vacation. They’ll meet to do business. No decentralizing technology so far—not telephones, not television, and not the internet—has dented that human desire to shake hands, despite technologists’【C5】______to the contrary.
Yet there are real reasons to think that things will not return to the way they were last week. Small【C6】______create small societal shifts; big ones change things for good. The New York transit strike of 1980 is【C7】______with prompting several long-term changes in the city, including bus and bike lanes, and women wearing sports shoes to work. The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 prompted the development of national health care in Europe.
Here and now, this might not even be a question of【C8】______It’s not clear that the cruise industry will【C9】______Or that public transit won’t go broke without【C10】______assistance. The infrastructure might not even be in place to do what we were doing in 2019.
A) credentials F) foreseeable K) subtle
B) credited G) predictions L) summoned
C) cumulative H) preference M) survive
D) disruptions I) scale N) vacancy
E) federal J) strangle O) wedge [br] 【C8】
选项
答案
H
解析
[语法判断]空格前为介词of,因此空格处应填入一个名词,和of搭配作question的后置宾语。[语义判断]本句指出,此时此刻,这甚至可能不是一个_______问题。上文将一些社会事件分为small disruptions“小干扰”和big ones“大干扰”。因此,空格处的意思应是在二者中进行一个偏向性的选择,即选择将这次的冠状病毒归入哪一类。H)preference有“偏好”的意思,符合语境,故为本题答案。
