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 biggest【S2】______
economy(and leading cotton producer)was India, of a population of 165m,【S3】______
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 revolution in Britain was【S4】______
gathering pace, the two Asian giants still counted for half the world’s GDP.【S5】______
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 war,【S8】______
Britain’s income per head had been overtaken by it of America, the 20th【S9】______
century’s great power.
America remains the world’s biggest economy, but that status is in threat【S10】______
from a resurgent China. With hindsight, its change in fortune can be traced to
1976.
【S1】
选项
答案
normal一abnormal/anomalous。
解析
篇章错误,上下文语义矛盾。normal意思是“正常的”,而abnormal/anomalous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/anomalous。
