I won’t be modest. I am gratified to discover that a paper I penned on inequality made its way into Matt Miller’s Washington Post column last week. Mr Miller asks why rising inequality has not【C1】________America’s least-favored classes to agitate for a【C2】________He agrees with my verdict: that access to【C3】________goods among the least well-off has ensured that material inequality is not as【C4】________as in-come inequality.
【C5】________modern conveniences have taken some of the【C6】________out of a relatively small income. This in turn has【C7】________the drive to seek causes of and cures for【C8】________’s discomfort. So the gap between rich and poor is sometimes less【C9】________, even if it is great and growing. Day-to-day experience is mostly a matter of our【C10】________circumstances, and if those are【C11】________enough, a widening gap in income, consumption or wealth is【C12】________to come often to our attention. Even if the abstract fact of rising inequality does come across our radar, it may【C13】________our sense of justice only if we’ve become convinced that inequality itself is【C14】________, or if we face related catastrophes.

Even if we could agree that inequality in real standards of living is rising, this is not some-thing we actually experience unless we are hungry, or【C20】________with the entertainments of our leisure.
【C3】
选项
A、inferior
B、more
C、better
D、finer
答案
C
解析
上文米勒先生的问题暗示了美国社会最底层的民众没有抗议。本句解释了原因:最底层的民众获得__________的商品的权利。既然不抗议,那就是获得好的商品,故选C项better“更好的”。A项inferior“低等的”,低劣的商品必然令底层民众抗议。空格后的material inequality对应的是“好坏”,而非“数量”或“精细程度”,故排除B项more“更多的”和D项finer“更精细的”。
