People have speculated for centuries about a future without work. Today is no different, with academics, writers, and activists once again【C1】________that technology be replacing human workers. Some imagine that the coming work-free world will be defined by【C2】________: A few wealthy people will own all the capital, and the masses will struggle in an impoverished wasteland.
A different and not mutually exclusive【C3】________holds that the future will be a wasteland of a different sort, one【C4】________by purposelessness: Without jobs to give their lives【C5】________, people will simply become lazy and depressed.【C6】________, today’s unemployed don’t seem to be having a great time. One Gallup poll found that 20 percent of Americans who have been unemployed for at least a year report having depression, double the rate for【C7】________Americans. Also, some research suggests that the【C8】________for rising rates of mortality, mental-health problems, and addicting【C9】________poorly-educated middle-aged people is shortage of well-paid jobs. Perhaps this is why many【C10】________the agonizing dullness of a jobless future.
But it doesn’t【C11】________follow from findings like these that a world without work would be filled with unease. Such visions are based on the【C12】________of being unemployed in a society built on the concept of employment. In the【C13】________of work, a society designed with other ends in mind could【C14】________strikingly different circumstances for the future of labor and leisure. Today, the【C15】________of work may be a bit overblown. "Many jobs are boring, degrading, unhealthy, and a waste of human potential," says John Danaher, a lecturer at the National University of Ireland in Galway.
These days, because leisure time is relatively【C16】________for most workers, people use their free time to counterbalance the intellectual and emotional【C17】________of their jobs. "When I come home from a hard day’s work, I often feel【C18】________," Danaher says, adding, "In a world in which I don’t have to work, I might feel rather different" —perhaps different enough to throw himself【C19】________a hobby or a passion project with the intensity usually reserved for【C20】________matters.
【C12】
选项
A、chances
B、downsides
C、benefits
D、principles
答案
B
解析
本题考查名词辨析。本填空的名词所处的句子的主语是Such visions,指代的是前文第一种观点中提及的失业带来的各种负面问题,本名词之后的原文信息为of being unemployed in a society,由于本段开始的第二种观点是对前文第一种观点的否定,考生把握这个态度倾向就能判断出本题的最佳答案是B项downsides(缺点),即“第一种观点中提及的失业带来的各种负面问题是建立在失业的缺点之上的”,这样就批驳了第一种观点的必然性。其他选项例如A项chances(机会)和C项benefits(利益)与主线态度倾向相违背,而D项principles(原则)的意思与本题题意无关,均予以排除。
