问题     One in six. Believe it or not, that’s the number of Americans who struggle with hunger. To make tomorrow a little better, Feeding America, the nation’s largest【C6】________hunger relief organization, has chosen September as Hunger Action Month. As part of its 30 days in 30 days program, it’s asking【C7】________across the country to help the more than 200 food banks and 61, 000 agenda in its network provide low income individuals and families with the fuel they need to【C8】________.
    It’s the kind of work that’s done every day at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in San Antonio. People who【C9】________at its front door on the first and third Thursdays of each month aren’t looking for God—they’re there for something to eat. St. Andrew runs a food pantry that【C10】________the city and several of the【C11】________towns. Janet Drane is its manager.
    In the wake of the【C12】________, the number of families in need of food assistance began to grow.
    It is【C13】________that 49 million Americans are unsure of where they will find their next meal. What’s the most surprising is that 36% of them live in【C14】________where at least one adult is working. "It used to be that one job was all you needed, " says St. Andrew’s Drane. "The people we see now have three or four part-time jobs and they’re still right on the edge【C15】________."
    [A]accumulate      [B]recession      [C]domestic
    [D]competition     [E]communities    [F]households
    [G]formally        [H]gather         [I]financially

选项
答案B
解析 分析此处的句子结构可知，介词of后应该名词或动名词作其宾语，故空格处需填入名词作短语的中心词。in the wake of意为“随着……的到来”，空格所在句的句意为 “随着________的到来，需要食品援助的家庭数量开始增加”，由此可以推断出应该是经济萧条造成的。因此B选项recession“经济衰退；不景气”符合文意，为正确答案。
