Sociologists use "power" to refer to the capacity of people to control or influence the actions of others. Sociologists study power to 【C1】______ not only who exercise it, but also why it’s exercised and who benefits from its use.
Of wealth, power and prestige, power is the hardest to measure. Most studies are nothing more than an average of 【C2】______ about where power is found. Many forms of power are so 【C3】______ hidden that only its holders know the source. Because it’s so hard to 【C4】______ , and tied to ideology, the subject of power is a source of much 【C5】______ in sociology. Some maintain that power in America is concentrated in the 【C6】______ of a few people who have a common 【C7】______ and who tend to act together. Wright Mills 【C8】______ hat America is 【C9】______ by a "power elite". Others believe that power in America is 【C10】______ among many groups and people.
Sociologists do agree that real power may not always lie 【C11】______ we think it does. Mayors of some cities, 【C12】______ , are sometimes mere figureheads looking impressive. The actual decisions are made by a handful of business leaders staying behind the 【C13】______ . Some are made at the lowest level, where the work is really 【C14】______ . Such is the 【C15】______ with the police officers or teachers.

【C1】
选项
A、settle
B、determine
C、consider
D、mediate
答案
B
解析
动词语义题。句意为:社会学家研究权势不仅为了确定谁行施权力,而且也为了确定为何掌权及谁是受益者。选项A settle的意思是“决定,解决”,指最终决定结束(如争论);选项B determine意思是“决定,确定”,指在考虑、调查或计算之后决定性地确认,符合句意;选项C consider表示“考虑,相信”,语义不合适;选项D mediate意思是“调停,经调解解决”。
