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
【C4】
选项
答案N
解析 [语法判断]空格前为be动词is，空格后为in that引导的原因状语，故空格处应该填一个形容词来修饰前面的主语social distancing。[语义判断]本段第二句讲的是美国人日常拯救生命的一些行为，本句由But引起语义的转折，介绍扩大社交距离具有完全自我牺性的特点，这与前面所列的其他行为是完全不同的。由此可知，空格处应该填一个含有“不同的，独特的”意义的形容词。N)unique“独一无二的”符合语境，故为答案。
