问题     The United States is widely recognized to have a private economy because privately owned businesses play【C1】________roles. The American free enterprise system【C2】________private ownership more than public sectors. Private businesses produce【C3】________goods and services,【C4】________almost two-thirds of the nation’s total economic output goes to【C5】________for personal use. The consumer role is【C6】________great, in fact, that the nation is sometimes characterized as having a "【C7】________ economy".
    This emphasis【C8】________private ownership arises,【C9】________, from American beliefs about personal freedom. From the time the nation was【C10】________, Americans have【C11】________excessive government power, and they have sought to【C12】________ government’s authority over individuals—including its role in the economic realm.
    【C13】________, Americans generally believe that an economy largely with private ownership is likely to operate more【C14】________than【C15】________with substantial government ownership. When economic forces are unfettered, Americans believe, supply and demand【C16】________the price of good and services. Prices, in turn, tell businesses what to produce; if people want more of a particular good than the economy is producing, the price of the goods【C17】________. That catches the attention of new or other companies that,【C18】________an opportunity to earn profit, start producing more【C19】________that goods. On the other hand, if people want less of the goods, prices fall and less competitive producers either go out of business or start producing【C20】________ goods.
【C18】

选项 A、neglecting
B、overcoming
C、feeling
D、sensing

答案D

解析 本填空选择分词,表达的也是动作,其宾语为an opportunity to earn profit,只要清楚原文的信息是在继续谈论价格如何决定企业生产,便可直接排除选项A)neglecting(忽视、忽略)、B)overcoming(战胜、克服)。既然是价格起决定作用,并且本空前面的原文信息都讲述了:That catches the attention of new or other companies(这就引起了新的和其他企业的注意),自然不会出现这两个动作。答案在C)feeling和D)sensing之间选择,根据宾语an opportunity to earn profit,D)sensing更为合适,因为sensing表示“感受到、感知到”,这个词汇恰恰用于描述对某事物敏感,比如说对价格的敏感,就是“be sensitive to price”;虽然feeling也可以表示“感知到”,但sensing与本填空的宾语更为搭配,所以答案为D)。
