    Lawyers are less than 1% of American adults,【C1】________ they are well-represented in government. Both the president and the vice-president trained as lawyers. So did 55% of senators and 100% of Supreme Court justices. There are【C2】________ to having a bit of legal expertise among those who write and【C3】________ the nation’s laws, or assess their constitutionality. But there is also a potential conflict of interest. If florists had such a lock on the levers of power, you might expect subsidies for weddings and a campaign to beautify cities. Lawyers, alas, are no more【C4】________.
    The American legal system is the most lawyer-friendly on Earth. It is dizzily【C5】________. The regulations that accompany the Dodd-Frank law governing Wall Street, for example, are already more than 3 million words long—and not yet half-written. Companies must hire【C6】________ lawyers to guide them through a labyrinth (迷宫) created by other lawyers. They must also hire lawyers to defend themselves against attacks by other lawyers on a playing field【C7】________ by lawyers. The cost—roughly $800 a year for every American—is passed on to consumers.

Law students are struggling to find the lavishly paid work they expected after graduation. One big law firm even went bust. None of this is nice for the people【C10】________. especially those with large student debts.
【C2】
选项
答案I
解析 空格应填入名词，作there be句型的主语。空格所在句与下一句由表转折的But连接，故两句语义相反，下一句说的是conflict of interest“利益冲突”，属于消极的一面，故本句应说明其积极的一面，因此选advantages“好处”。
