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.
【C7】
选项
A、rich
B、urban
C、working
D、educated
答案
C
解析
本题考查形容词辨析。本形容词的被修饰成分为Americans,但判断出答案的关键在于分析本填空所在句子与前句之间的对应关系。前句的信息为One Gallup poll found that 20 percent of Americans who have been unemployed for at least a year report having depression,该句是在描述unemployed(失业的)Americans感觉沮丧的比例高达20%,之后的本填空所在的句子表达的是“此比例是本填空所修饰的Americans的两倍”,既然是一种比较的关系,本填空形容词与之前的unemployed(失业的)是对应的,是相反的关系,可推断本填空答案是C项working(工作的),其他选项例如A项rich(富有的)、B项urban(城市的)和D项educated(受教育的)虽然在语法上均可以修饰Americans,但所表达的意义与题意不符,予以排除。
