Historically, humans get serious about avoiding disasters only after one has just struck them. 【B1】______ that logic, 2006 should have been a breakthrough year for rational behavior. With the memory of 9/11 still 【B2】______ in their minds, Americans watched hurricane Katrina, the most expensive disaster in U.S. history, on【B3】______TV. Anyone who didn’ t know it before should have learned that bad things can happen. And they are made【B4】______worse by our willful blindness to risk as much as our 【B5】______ to work together before everything goes to hell.
Granted, some amount of delusion is probably part of the 【B6】______ condition. In A.D. 63, Pompeii was seriously damaged by an earthquake, and the locals immediately went to work 【B7】______ , in the same spot—until they were buried altogether by a volcano eruption 16 years later. But a【B8】______of the past year in disaster history suggests that modern Americans are particularly bad at【B9】______themselves from guaranteed threats. We know more than we【B10】______did about the dangers we face. But it turns【B11】______that in times of crisis, our greatest enemy is【B12】______the storm, the quake or the【B13】______itself. More often, it is ourselves. So what has happened in the year that【B14】______the disaster on the Gulf Coast. In New Orleans, the Army Corps of Engineers has worked day and night to rebuild the floodwalls. They have got the walls to 【B15】______ they were before Katrina, more or less. That’ s not【B16】______, we can now say with confidence. But it may be all【B17】______can be expected from one year of hustle.
Meanwhile, New Orleans officials have crafted a plan to use buses and trains to 【B18】______ the sick and the disabled. The city estimates that 15,000 people will need a【B19】______out. However, state officials have not yet determined where these people will be taken. The【B20】______with neighboring communities are ongoing and difficult.
【B18】
选项
A、exile
B、evacuate
C、dismiss
D、displace
答案
B
解析
考查动词辨析。文中提到新奥尔良政府打算疏散病人和残疾人,故应选B.evacuate“疏散,撤离”。exile意为“放逐,流放”;dismiss意为“解雇,遣散”;displace意为“取代,迫使…离开家园,移动”,均不符合语境。
