People have speculated for centuries about a future without work. Today is no different, with academics, writers, and activists once again【C1】________that technology be replacing human workers. Some imagine that the coming work-free world will be defined by【C2】________: A few wealthy people will own all the capital, and the masses will struggle in an impoverished wasteland.
A different and not mutually exclusive【C3】________holds that the future will be a wasteland of a different sort, one【C4】________by purposelessness: Without jobs to give their lives【C5】________, people will simply become lazy and depressed.【C6】________, today’s unemployed don’t seem to be having a great time. One Gallup poll found that 20 percent of Americans who have been unemployed for at least a year report having depression, double the rate for【C7】________Americans. Also, some research suggests that the【C8】________for rising rates of mortality, mental-health problems, and addicting【C9】________poorly-educated middle-aged people is shortage of well-paid jobs. Perhaps this is why many【C10】________the agonizing dullness of a jobless future.
But it doesn’t【C11】________follow from findings like these that a world without work would be filled with unease. Such visions are based on the【C12】________of being unemployed in a society built on the concept of employment. In the【C13】________of work, a society designed with other ends in mind could【C14】________strikingly different circumstances for the future of labor and leisure. Today, the【C15】________of work may be a bit overblown. "Many jobs are boring, degrading, unhealthy, and a waste of human potential," says John Danaher, a lecturer at the National University of Ireland in Galway.
These days, because leisure time is relatively【C16】________for most workers, people use their free time to counterbalance the intellectual and emotional【C17】________of their jobs. "When I come home from a hard day’s work, I often feel【C18】________," Danaher says, adding, "In a world in which I don’t have to work, I might feel rather different" —perhaps different enough to throw himself【C19】________a hobby or a passion project with the intensity usually reserved for【C20】________matters.
【C1】
选项
A、boasting
B、denying
C、warning
D、ensuring
答案
C
解析
本题考查动词辨析。本动词的主语是academics,writers,and activists,宾语是一个宾语从句that technology be replacing human workers (科技正取代人类的工作)。考生要把握本填空所在的句子是一个概括句,即本句是对之后(分述)信息的总结和概括,而本填空的动词其实就是起到概括作用的核心词,因此本题答案的线索必须通过分析下文的具体信息才能判断。下文分述部分的信息,特别是本段的最后一句表达得非常清晰,即A few wealthy people will own all the capital, and the masses will struggle in an impoverished wasteland. (少数富人拥有所有的资本,大众只能在贫困的荒原上挣扎。)此句的信息明确说明了“科技取代人类的工作”会造成一个可怕的局面,而本填空的动词就是对此信息的总结,因此最佳答案为C项warning(警告)。其他选项例如A项boasting(吹嘘)和D项ensuring(确保)的态度倾向错误,因为下文的分述信息对“科技取代人类的工作”持批判态度。B项denying(否认)与本题题意不符,既然下文分述信息是在说明“科技取代人类的工作”将会造成可怕的局面,本题不可能是否认“科技取代人类的工作”。
