    Government anti-poverty efforts have made some progress but have not eradicated the problem.【B4】______, periods of strong economic growth, which bring more jobs and higher wages, have【B5】______poverty but have not【B6】______it entirely.
    The federal government 【B7】______ poverty line as a minimum 【B8】______ of income 【B9】______ for basic maintenance of a family or four. This amount may fluctuated【B10】______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【B11】______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【B12】______, it has fluctuated in a fairly narrow range. In 1998, it stood at 12.7 percent.

【B4】
选项 A、Moreover
B、Consequently
C、Similarly
D、Unexpectedly
答案C
解析 考查逻辑关系。空格前文主要表述了：政府的反贫困努力虽然取得了一定的进步，但是还是没有消除贫困问题。空格后接着提到了：强劲的经济增长虽然带来了更多的工作和高工资。但也没能完全消除贫困。前后阐述一致，为并列关系。因此正确答案为C．Similarly。Moreover“此外，而且”，表递进；Consequently“因此”，表因果；Unexpectedly“未预料到地，意外地”，均不符合题意。
