Andrew Carnegie, known as the King of Steel, built the steel industry in the United States, and, in the process, became one of the wealthiest men in America. His success resulted in part from his ability to sell the product and in part from his policy of expanding during periods of【S1】______declines, when most of his competitors were reducing their investments.
Carnegie believed that【S2】______should progress through hard work, but he also felt【S3】______that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society. He opposed charity, preferring instead to provide【S4】______opportunities that would allow others to help themselves. "He who dies rich, dies disgraced," he often said.
Among his more【S5】______contributions to society are those that bear his name, including the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh, which has a library, a museum of fine arts, and a museum of national history. He also【S6】______a school of technology that is now part of Carnegie-Mellon University. Other charitable gifts are the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to【S7】______understanding between nations, the Carnegie Institute of Washington to fund scientific research, and Carnegie Hall to provide a【S8】______for the arts.
Few Americans have been left untouched by Andrew Carnegie’s【S9】______His contributions of more than five million dollars established 2,500 libraries in small communities throughout the country and formed the nucleus of the public library system that we all【S10】______today.
A)remarkable I)economic
B)strongly J)enjoy
C)promote K)educational
D)founded L)created
E)caused M)individuals
F)sponsor N)comfortably
G)disagreed O)center
H)generosity
【S4】
选项
答案
K
解析
opportunities是名词,所以该空应填一个形容词来修饰名词。该句说他反对慈善事业,而在第三段又提到他投资建了学校,图书馆等与教育有关的事业,所以可推测他为别人提供的是教育机会,应选 educational。
