People who grew up in America and Western Europe have become used
to the idea that the West dominates the world economy. In fact, it is normal【S1】________
that a group of 30-odd countries with a small fraction of the world’s
population should be calling the shots. For most of human history,
economic power has been determined in demography. In 1700, the world’s【S2】________
biggest economy (and leading cotton producer) was India, of a population【S3】________
of 165m, followed by China, with 138m. Britain’s 8. 6m people produced
less than 3% of the world’s input. Even in 1820, as the industrial【S4】________
revolution in Britain was gathering pace, the two Asian giants still counted【S5】________
for half the world’s GDP.
The spread of purpose-built manufactories like Quarry Bank Mill separated
economic power and population, increasingly so as the West got richer. Be【S6】________
able to make a lot of more stuff with fewer workers meant that even a small【S7】________
country could be a giant economic power. By 1870, the average income in
Britain was six times larger than India. But by the eve of the first world【S8】________
war, Britain’s income per head had been overtaken by it of America, the【S9】________
20th century’s great power.
America remains the world’s biggest economy, but that status is in【S10】________
threat from a resurgent China. With hindsight, its change in fortune can be traced to 1976.
【S1】
选项
答案
normal→abnormal/anomalous
解析
上下文语义矛盾。normal的意思是“正常的”,而abnormal/anomalous的意思是“异常的”。此处句意为“在世界人口总量中只占少数的国家能够主导世界经济,这样的现象是不正常的”,故将normal改为abnormal或anomalous。
