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.

选项
A、statistics
B、guesses
C、hypotheses
D、suspect
答案
B
解析
名词语义题。句意为:许多对权势的研究只不过是有关权力从何而来的一般推断而已。选项 A statistics意思是“统计数字,数据”;选项B guess表示“推断,猜测”,符合题意;其近义词选项C hypotheses表示“假想,臆断”,没有根据的主观猜测,不合题意;选项D suspect意思是“怀疑,疑问,不信任”,在句中语境不合适。
