问题     The "standard of living" of any country means the average person’s【C1】________  of the goods and services the country produces. A country’s standard of living, therefore, depends on its capacity to produce wealth.  "Wealth"  in this【C2】________ is not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy: "goods" such as food and clothing, and "services" such as【C3】________ and entertainment.
    A country’s capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country’s natural resources. Some regions of the world are well【C4】________ with coal and minerals, and have fertile soil and a【C5】________ climate; other regions possess none of them.
    Next to natural resources comes the ability to【C6】________ them to use. China is perhaps as well-off as the USA in natural resources, but suffered for many years from【C7】________ and external wars, and for this and other reasons, was unable to develop her resources. Sound and stable political conditions, and being free from foreign invasions, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equally well【C8】________ by nature but less well ordered.
    A country’s standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and consumed within its【C9】________ , but also upon what is directly produced through international trade. For example, Britain’s wealth in food stuffs and other agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her【C10】________ manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products that would otherwise be lacking. A country’s wealth is, therefore, much influenced by its manufacturing capacity provided that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.
    A. wealth        B. sense          C. supplied      D. share
    E. surplus       F. transport      G. limits        H. equipped
    I. favorable     J. turn           K. put           L. civil
    M. favored       N. borders        O. internal
【C3】

选项

答案F

解析 上下文题。根据词性,此处应当填入名词。根据上下文可知此处为举例说明“service”,并且与“entertainment”构成并列。故选项中合适的唯有transport,表示“交通服务”。
