Under Social Darwinism the lazy and the【C2】______were supposed to be at the bottom of the economic ladder as【C3】______of the "law of survival of the fittest". Society was【C4】______as a network of self-sufficient families which provided for their own.【C5】______persons outside a household(orphans, the【C6】______elderly, and the crippled)were provided outdoor relief grudgingly and as a temporary expedient(权宜之计).

【C16】
选项
A、poor
B、better
C、humble
D、miserable
答案
B
解析
此题主要是区别这四个形容词词义。本句含义为“只在遭受耻辱和痛苦的情况下,乞丐才会去谋求独立和较好的生活,否则只是随波逐流”。根据题义,应选better。humble谦卑的;miserable悲惨的,均不合题义。
