问题     Beyond demographics, the United States confronts with a range of other 【M1】______
challenges. Globalization is on the top of that list. 【M2】______
    Markets, technologies, and businesses in various countries and in various
parts of the world are increasingly linked, and communication through con- 【M3】______
tinents and oceans is now instantaneous. This new reality was made clearly 【M4】______
by the recent decline in the Chinese stock market, that had immediate ripple 【M5】______
effects on financial markets from Tokyo to London to New York.
    Clearly, U.S. consumers have reaped many benefits from globalization.
From clothing to computers, you and me can buy a range of foreign-made 【M6】______
goods that are cheaper than ever. But there’s a catch. In many cases, cheaper 【M7】______
prices have been accompanied by a loss of U.S. manufacturing jobs.
    Globalization is also having an impact in areas like the environment and pub
lic health. The truth is that air and water pollution don’t stop at the border. But 【M8】______
with today’s international air travel, the infectious diseases can spread from 【M9】______
one continent to another literally overnight. This is one reason that public
health experts are so concerned these days about avian flu.
    With the end of the Cold War, we face new security threats, including
transnational terrorist networks and rogue nations armed with weapons of
mass destruction. September 11 brought this reality home in a painful way.
Stronger multinational partnerships will be essential to encounter these di- 【M10】______
verse and diffuse threats. [br] 【M2】
选项
答案 on —at
解析 top如果和介词on搭配，通常top之前是零冠词，即on top of sth，意思是“除此之外(还有……)”；在英语中还有on top of the world这样的表达，意思是“(由于成功)而非常高兴”。此处应该用at the top of，意思是“首要的、最重要的”。
