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.
【C2】
选项
A、inequality
B、instability
C、unreliability
D、uncertainty
答案
A
解析
本题考查名词辨析。本填空之前的句子信息为the coming work—free world will be defined by,即一个没有工作的世界将被定义为什么。首先根据之前总述句warning的态度倾向,本填空的名词一定是负面的词汇,四个选项均符合负面的倾向性。这时我们再把本句之后的段尾句子信息考虑进来,即A few wealthy people will own all the capital,and the masses will struggle in an impoverished wasteland. (少数富人拥有所有的资本,大众只能在贫困的荒原中挣扎。)因为该句信息就是填空所在句信息的顺延衔接,很容易判断出本题的最佳答案是A项inequality (不平等),即“一个没有工作的世界将是不平等的”。其他选项例如B项instability(不稳定)、C项unreliability (不可靠)和D项uncertainty(不确定)所表达的意思与本题题意无关,均予以排除。
