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.
【C16】
选项
A、tricky
B、lengthy
C、mysterious
D、scarce
答案
D
解析
本题考查形容词辨析。本形容词处于表语的位置,被修饰成分为句子主语leisure time(空闲时间),而且四个选项中出现了B项lengthy(漫长的)和D项scarce(不足的,缺乏的)这种态度倾向明显对立的词语。考生只要把握本句中的标志词because,就能理解本句和之后的句子存在因果的逻辑关系,通过分析前后句的逻辑关系查找对应性的成分就能迅速判定本题答案。之后的句子信息为people use their free time to counterbalance the intellectual and emotional________of their jobs,即“人们需要使用他们的业余时间来抵消工作带来的智力和情感……”,可判断出句子前面的leisure time(空闲时间)是D项scarce“不够的”,因此D项scarce(不足的,缺乏的)为答案。其他选项例如A项tricky(狡猾的)和C项mysterious(神秘的)一般不能修饰leisure time(空闲时间),首先排除。B项lengthy(漫长的)则不符合前后句的逻辑关系,也予以排除。
