问题      The loudest outcry about poverty seemed to come in the wealthiest country by far in the world. According to most calculations,【C1】______ most of that period the United States had a standard of living well【C2】______ Europe’s and many times above the world【C3】______ . Yet protests about grinding poverty, hunger, and dreadful need【C4】______ more from the United States than from countries with one-fortieth of their living【C5】______ . An annual per capita income of about 500 dollars is【C6】______ of much of Africa and Asia and not a little of South America. It would seem strange to these people that American radicals demand a【C7】______ from an American commitment to the far comers of the globe so that the money thus saved can be spent【C8】______ the standard of living of【C9】______ Americans. What this last point suggests is not so much that human 【C10】______  are never to be satisfied though this is doubtlessly true, and the American suburbanite (郊区居民)【C11】______ of his second car and his color TV suffers just as 【C12】______ as an African farmer in need of a second cow and a screen door. Rather, it suggests the【C13】______ of contemporary breach of social【C14】______ —the emancipation of the individual self. People have learned to consider any【C15】______ to personal fulfillment as a(n)【C16】______ insult. They have greatly expanded the circle of self-awareness. They no longer accept sharp limitations on individual desires in the【C17】______ of the group. The amount of potential human discontent has always been【C18】______ —misery, failure, misfitting, bitterness, hatred, envy【C19】______ telling. It has usually failed of【C20】______ , and in the past it was accepted passively as being beyond help.  [br] 【C6】
选项 A、different
B、regardless
C、ignorant
D、typical
答案 D
解析 词义辨析题。different一般不与of相搭配，故排除A；regardless of意为“不顾，不理会”，ignorant of意为“不知道，无知”，typical of意为“典型的”，结合句意“人均年收入500美元在许多非洲、亚洲……国家中是______”可知，D正确。
