As millions of American jobs disappeared over the past few months, in some cases forever, there was one【C1】________for the newly unemployed. They could receive $600 a week more than usual in unemployment benefits, part of a safety net created by Congress in the early days of the pandemic to【C2】________the often thin benefits that people would normally have received.
【C3】________that program had a July 31【C4】________date, and many desperate situations could become far bleaker if Congress does not extend Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) , the enhanced unemployment benefits【C5】________in March. In Arkansas, people receiving $681 a week could see the【C6】________to $81 a week. The maximum unemployment benefit in Tennessee could【C7】________to $275 a week. Even where the base support is higher, benefits expire after a set number of weeks—as would expire an【C8】________. And no one knows how long the pandemic will continue to wreak havoc【C9】________the economy.
Megan K. Rocks, a 38-year-old single mother in Athens, Ga., expects to see her weekly income go from $725 to $125. After the events company where Rocks worked as a graphic designer cleared its calendar for the year,the extra $600 a week helped【C10】________rent, car insurance and other bills. It also meant that amid an【C11】________of childcare options, she could stay home with her 11-year-old son. The【C12】________expiration of these benefits leaves Rocks few options. "At this point," she says, " I have no idea what I’m going to do. "
It’s not just【C13】________who have benefited from the enhanced safety net; it’s the entire economy.
The extra unemployment benefits helped bring tens of millions of Americans’ earnings up to the【C14】________U. S. weekly wage, allowing them to pay for【C15】________and maybe even spend on extras like school supplies or entertainment. That spending helped support as many as 2. 8 million jobs, reducing the unemployment rate by as much as 1. 8%, according to the Joint Economic Committee.
Crucially, much of the spending happening right now can be【C16】________to lower-income individuals. Harvard researchers recently found that people at the bottom of the income【C17】________are spending nearly as much as they did before the pandemic,【C18】________high-income households have【C19】________cut spending. About 25 million Americans will continue to be unemployed throughout the summer and early fall. Without additional unemployment benefits, low-earner spending will fall suddenly, costing even more jobs.
The crisis faced by jobless Americans【C20】________the complicated condition of unemployment insurance in the U. S. Legal advocates are concerned that some families will be driven to take out high-interest loans, which could send them into an endless cycle of poverty.
【C1】
选项
A、relaxation
B、consolidation
C、comfort
D、disappointment
答案
C
解析
名词辨析题。A项relaxation“放松,消遣”;B项consolidation“巩固,团结”;C项comfort“安慰;D项disappointment“失望”。根据空格所在句的前半部分“美国数以百万计的工作岗位消失了”,可以判断出这些失业者境况会有所改变,故D项可以排除;而A项和B项与后文的$600 a week无法互相照应,故答案为C项。
