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.
【C14】
选项
A、disturb
B、restore
C、exclude
D、yield
答案
D
解析
本题考查动词辨析。本动词的主语是a society designed with other ends in mind,表达的是“建立在其他理念中的社会”。本动词的宾语为strikingly different circumstances for the future of labor and leisure,表达的则是“未来劳动和娱乐的截然不同的环境”。本句子所在的整个段落都是在讨论没有了工作的未来会怎样,并且对此持正面观点,综合这些线索,本题的最佳答案是选项D项yield(产生),即“在没有工作的未来,建立在其他理念中的社会将使未来的劳动和娱乐产生(创造)截然不同的情形”,实际意思是“没有了工作的未来会给人们带来放松和愉悦”。其他选项例如A项disturb(打扰)和C项exclude(排除)属于态度倾向的错误,与整个段落的主线态度倾向不符合。而B项restore(恢复)与宾语strikingly different circumstances无法构成有意义的搭配,均予以排除。
