I won’t be modest. I am gratified to discover that a paper I penned on inequality made its way into Matt Miller’s Washington Post column last week. Mr Miller asks why rising inequality has not【C1】______ America’s least-favored classes to agitate for a 【C2】______ . He agrees with my verdict: that access to【C3】______ goods among the least well-off has ensured that material inequality is not as【C4】______ as income inequality.
【C5】______ modern conveniences have taken some of the【C6】______ out of a relatively small income. This in turn has【C7】______ the drive to seek causes of and cures for【C8】______ ’s discomfort. So the gap between rich and poor is sometimes less【C9】______, even if it is great and growing. Day-to-day experience is mostly a matter of our【C10】______ circumstances, and if those are【C11】______ enough, a widening gap in income, consumption or wealth is【C12】______ to come often to our attention. Even if the abstract fact of rising inequality does come across our radar, it may【C13】______ our sense of justice only if we’ve become convinced that inequality itself is【C14】______, or if we face related catastrophes.
When I wrote the paper, official measures of income inequality had increased a good deal over the past few decades【C15】______ consumption inequality seemed to have remained【C16】______ New research suggests that consumption inequality has been increasing with income inequality【C17】______. This may be true, but it seems【C18】______ to the question of why America’s poor aren’t storming the barriers. The consumption data concerns how much we【C19】______, not how we experience what we buy, and that’s the real issue. Even if we could agree that inequality in real standards of living is rising, this is not something we actually experience unless we are hungry, or【C20】______ with the entertainments of our leisure.
【C13】
选项
A、influence
B、offend
C、make
D、threaten
答案
B
解析
由下文的“在我们遇到灾难的情况下”,可推断在面临巨大灾难时,就需要钱,而收入不平等就会导致人们对于公正有看法,因而与日俱增的不平等这个抽象的事实会导致我们的正义感受到侵犯,故选B项offend“冒犯”。
