问题     How do you explain economics in plain English? The Federal Reserve Bank of New York has been answering the question with an even more【C1】________tool: comic books. And it’s been doing that for【C2】________.
    The New York Fed has published comics about money and finance for【C3】________readers more interested in【C4】________since 1950s, according to Edward Steinberg, a former Fed employee who【C5】________several of the comic books【C6】________online today. In the latest ten years, Steinberg supervised a small team of writers and editors that produced the Fed’s print publications and educational【C7】________. such as the comic books.
    Distributed free of charge to teachers, the comics were mostly【C8】________high school students, whom Steinberg felt weren’t learning enough about the economy and personal finance,【C9】________some of the more advanced titles, such as The Story of Monetary Policy, have been taught in several college classrooms.
    It’s no【C10】________that the comic books offer highly simplified opinions on the country’s complex financial systems, but they go out of their way to【C11】________dumbing down the content. Most of the booklets are more than 20 pages, and they’re packed with【C12】________and details that could【C13】________a teenager on a first read: The Story of the Federal Reserve System from 1999 starts off slow by comparing and contrasting the Fed with local neighborhood banks, but it soon【C14】________into specific information about monetary policy, open market operations, government securities, and reserve requirements. With guest【C15】________from Uncle Sam and a walking, talking bank, A Penny Saved offers a crash course in saving before touching【C16】________the advantages and disadvantages of【C17】________in the stock market, real estate, and fine art.
    But the【C18】________part of the series might be the fact that Steinberg doesn’t even like comics. "【C19】________ the work that I did at the Fed, I don’t have an interest in comic books," Steinberg says over email. "It was appropriate,【C20】________, that I had a job writing comic books, because everybody can try to earn his living through humor."
【C19】
选项 A、Other than
B、In addition to
C、On Account of
D、Prior to
答案A
解析 上文提到Steinberg曾指导和出版漫画书，可知空格后the work(作品)指的是他当时所创作的漫画书。结合后半句I don’t have an interest in comic books可判断他因为认可自己的工作才接受自己的作品。A项Other than意为“除了”，代入后可表明他除了自己在联邦储备银行出版的漫画书，对其他的漫画书根本不感兴趣，符合语义。B项in addition to虽意为“除了”，但隐含“而且还；另外”的意思，语义包含其后的宾语，代入后表示Steinberg对自己的漫画书也不感兴趣，与后面“能接受自己的工作”的语义不一致。C项On Account of“考虑到”和D项Prior to“在……之前”代入后，语义不通顺，也不符合逻辑要求。
