The Pew Foundation discovered in a recent【C1】______that tensions over inequality in wealth now【C2】______tensions over race and immigration. But income inequality isn’t really the problem. A new upper class is the problem. And their wealth isn’t what sets them【C3】______or creates so much【C4】______toward them.
Let’s take a guy—call him Hank—who built a successful auto-repair business and【C5】______it to 30 locations, and now his【C6】______in the business is worth $100 million. He went to a second-tier state university, or maybe he didn’t complete college at all. He grew up in a working-class or middle-class home and married a woman who didn’t complete college, either. He now lives in a neighborhood with other rich people, but they’re mostly other people who got rich the same way he did. He has a lot of money, but he doesn’t have power or influence over national culture, politics or economy,【C7】______does he even have any particular influence over the culture, politics or economy of the city where he lives. He’s just rich.
The new upper class is different. It consists of the people who run the country. By "the people who run the country," I mean a small【C8】______of people—well under 100,000, by a【C9】______definition—who are【C10】______for the films and television shows you watch, the news you see and read, the success (or failure) of the nation’s leading corporations and financial institutions and the jurisprudence, legislation and regulations produced by government.
What makes the new upper class new is that its members not only have power and influence but also increasingly【C11】______a common culture that【C12】______them from the rest of the country. Fifty years ago, the people who rose to the most influential positions overwhelmingly had Hank’s kind of【C13】______, thoroughly【C14】______in the American mainstream. They have【C15】______tastes and preferences and seek out enclaves of others who share them. Their culture【C16】______little with the lifestyle or the popular culture of the rest of the nation; in fact, members of the new upper class increasingly【C17】______that mainstream lifestyle and culture. If this divide continues to widen, it will completely destroy【C18】______has made America’s national civic culture【C19】______: a fluid,【C20】______society where people from different backgrounds live side by side and come together for the common good.
【C13】
选项
A、resource
B、source
C、origin
D、base
答案
C
解析
Fifty years ago,the people who rose to the most influential positions overwhelmingly had Hank’s kind of 13。50年之前,那些功成名就的人往往都具备和汉克一样的 13 。汉克就是作者虚拟的一个人物,他出身平凡,后来成为了百万富翁,但是仍然不能称之为社会名流。[A]resource表示“资源”,例如,natural resource,自然资源;[B]source“来源”,例如,information source,信息来源;[C]origin 原意表示“起源,来源”,但还有一个意思表示人的“出身,血统”,将它填在横线处最符合句子的意思,因此为正确答案。[D]base,表示“基础,根基”,往往表示做某件事情的基础。例如,She used her family’s history as a base for her novel.她把她一家人的经历作为她小说的蓝本。
