问题    Social distancing is putting people out of work, canceling school and tanking the stock market. It has been【C1】______by fear, and it is creating even more fear as money problems and uncertainty grow. However, at its core is love, and a sacrifice to protect those most【C2】______to the coronavirus’ (冠状病毒 ) effects—the elderly, people with compromised immune systems, and those whose life-saving resources would be used up by a【C3】______epidemic.
   Americans make life-saving decisions every day as a matter of course. We cut food into bite-sized pieces, we wear seatbelts, and we take care not to exceed the speed limit. But social distancing is【C4】______in that it is completely self-sacrificing. Those who will benefit may be the elderly relatives of the【C5】______person we didn’t pass in Starbucks, on the subway, or in the elevator.
   Social distancing is millions of people making hundreds of sacrifices to keep the elderly alive. It doesn’t include the【C6】______to run from society or make an excuse to avoid one’s obligations—such as life-saving medical work or the parental obligation to buy groceries. What it does include is applying love through caution. And in doing so, it offers an【C7】______opportunity for those who care about the elderly to find new ways to love them.
   If we’re not【C8】______as much in our normal work or school, we have extra time to call parents and grandparents. We can also ask elderly relatives how to best support them【C9】______and use our sacrifices as an opportunity to bring us, our community and the world【C10】______.
   A) amazing F) oppressing K) temptations
   B) closer G) premises D thriftier
   C) driven H) random M) tickled
   D) engaged I) sentimentally N) unique
   E) malignant j) spiritually O) vulnerable
【C6】
选项
答案K
解析 [语法判断]空格前为定冠词the，后为动词不定式短语to run from society，空格处应填入名词。[语义判断]由or前后为并列关系可知，空格处的单词应与make an excuse含义相近。备选项中，K)temptations有“诱惑”的意思，在此指远离社会的念头，与语境相符，为本题答案。
