问题     Low levels of literacy and numeracy have a damaging impact on almost every aspect of adult life, according to a survey published yesterday, which offers evidence of a developing underclass. Tests and interviews with hundreds of people born in a single week in 1958【C1】______illustrated the handicap of educational underachievement. The effects were seen in unemployment, low incomes, depression and social【C2】______.
    Those who left school at 16 with poor basic skills had been employed for up to four years less than good readers at the time they reached 37. Professor John Bynner, of City University, who【C3】______out the research, said that today’s【C4】______people would face even greater problems because the supply of manual jobs had【C5】______up. Poor readers were twice as likely to be on a low【C6】______and four times as likely to live in a household where neither partner worked. Women in this position were five times as likely to be classified as【C7】______, while both sexes tended to feel they had no control over their lives, and to be【C8】______of others. Those with low literacy and numeracy skills were seldom involved in any【C9】______organization and much less likely than others to have【C10】______in a general election. There had been no improvement in the level of interviewees since the sample was surveyed at the age of 21.
A)activity I)inactivity

G)clearly O)voted
H)community
【C6】
选项
答案C
解析 此处应填名词。空前的形容词提示所填词很可能为名词。本文首段末句指出educational underachievement造成的后果体现在unemployment，low incomes，depression和social…上，本段前半部分主要在说educationalunderachievement的第一个不良后果，即unemployment，所以根据文章结构安排可知，本空所在的句子要讲的可能是第二个不良后果，即low incomes。备选名词中与incomes同义的只有C)wage“工资”，故为答案。
