Americans’ pride and faith of their economic system,【C1】________that it provides opportunities for all citizens to have good lives, are【C2】________ by the【C3】________ that poverty persists in many parts of the country.
Government anti-poverty efforts have made some progress but have not eradicated the problem.【C4】________, periods of strong economic growth, which bring more jobs and higher wages, have【C5】________ poverty but have not【C6】________ it entirely.
The federal government【C7】________poverty line as a minimum【C8】________of income【C9】________for basic maintenance of a family of four. This amount may fluctuate【C10】________the cost of living and the location of the family. In 1998, a family of four with an annual income below $16,530 was classified【C11】________ living in poverty.
The percentage of people living below poverty line dropped from 22.4 percent in 1959 to 11.4 percent in 1978. But【C12】________ , it has fluctuated in a fairly narrow range. In 1998, it stood at 12.7 percent.
【C13】________ , the overall figures mask much more severe pockets of poverty. In 1998, more than one-quarter of all African-Americans lived in poverty; though【C14】________high, that figure did represent an improvement from 1979 when 31 percent of blacks were officially classified as poor.
There are【C15】________estimations on the accuracy of official poverty figures. Some analysts have suggested that the official poverty figures【C16】________the real【C17】________of poverty because they measure only cash income and exclude certain government assistance programs such as Food Stamps. Others point out, however, that these programs【C18】________cover all of a family’s food or health care needs.【C19】________others point out that people at the poverty line sometimes receive cash income from【C20】________work and in the underground sector of economy which is never recorded in official statistics.
【C16】
选项
A、understate
B、overstate
C、boast
D、exaggerate
答案
B
解析
本题考查动词,其主语为:the official poverty figures,其宾语为:the real ________ of poverty;更为关键的线索是本填空所在句子与后句又是因果逻辑关系,后面的原文信息为:because they measure only cash income and exclude certain government assistance programs such as Food Stamps.句子中包含了两个关键线索词:only和exclude,并且此句是个原因,其目的是解释前面的句子信息。既然后面的句子在强调they(指代the official poverty figures)只包括了现金收入和排除了一些政府补贴,那么就是在解释前面的句子the official poverty figures一定是夸大了the real ________ of poverty;理解了这些线索的提示,选项A)understate(低估了)就可以排除;选项C)boast(夸口,吹牛)和D)exaggerate(夸大其词)均表示的是一种主观故意的夸大,本填空的主语实际是做不出此动作的,只有选项B)overstate表示的客观上的动作“过分陈述”是最合适的,所以答案为选项B)overstate。
