Sociologists use "power" to refer to the capacity of people to control or influence the actions of others. Sociologists study power to 【C1】______ not only who exercise it, but also why it’s exercised and who benefits from its use.
Of wealth, power and prestige, power is the hardest to measure. Most studies are nothing more than an average of 【C2】______ about where power is found. Many forms of power are so 【C3】______ hidden that only its holders know the source. Because it’s so hard to 【C4】______ , and tied to ideology, the subject of power is a source of much 【C5】______ in sociology. Some maintain that power in America is concentrated in the 【C6】______ of a few people who have a common 【C7】______ and who tend to act together. Wright Mills 【C8】______ that America is 【C9】______ by a "power elite". Others believe that power in America is 【C10】______ among many groups and people.
Sociologists do agree that real power may not always lie 【C11】______ we think it does. Mayors of some cities, 【C12】______ , are sometimes mere figureheads looking impressive. The actual decisions are made by a handful of business leaders staying behind the 【C13】______ . Some are made at the lowest level, where the work is really 【C14】______ Such is the 【C15】______ with the police officers or teachers.
Power may exist 【C16】______ wealth: not all the rich are powerful, and vice versa. But the two 【C17】______ are closely related. In national politics, 【C18】______ for office are often wealthy. The Kennedy’ brothers, the Roosevelts, and Reagan are only a few men of wealth powerful in politics. Moreover, power is often used to 【C19】______ wealth. How many lawmakers, generals, or labor union heads retire 【C20】______ poverty?
【C6】
选项
A、mastery
B、hands
C、manipulation
D、domination
答案
B
解析
名词语义题。句意为:一些社会学家主张,美国权力集中掌握在有共同背景的少数人手中,他们更可能会同心协力。in the hands of固定搭配“掌控在…的手中”;A mastery意思是“掌握,精通;统治,控制”;选项C manipulation表示“控制,操纵”;选项D domination表示“主宰,支配”。选项A 、C 和D 搭配不当,主语是the power,它掌控在谁的手中,只能用in the hands of。
