问题     Where we choose to live can have a huge impact on our lives. Living in an unfriendly neighborhood, or one where residents move often, can make it harder to find child-care help or other support. On the other hand, settling in a peaceful rural hamlet(小村庄)may seem great— until you realize you can’t make a living【C1】______on the slow dial-up Internet access available there.
    A recent survey【C2】______the question of what bonds us to the places we live, and its findings suggest the【C3】______of life is a more influential factor than economists might think.【C4】______a choice, most people don’t care as much about the local economy as they do about the social offerings, physical beauty and openness of a locale(场地), says a recently released survey of about 14,000 people in 26 communities by Gallup and the Knight Foundation.
    Those【C5】______—how warm, welcoming and fun a community seems to be—are【C6】______why people living in Miami【C7】______to like it even more than they did last year. In Minneapolis and St. Paul,【C8】______had an above-average regard for their town even before Favre’ joined the Vikings, this article reports. Even in hard-pressed Detroit, citizens like life a little more than in recent years, perhaps because of better parks, green spaces and【C9】______opportunities.
    In my case, living in the Pacific Northwest is a tradeoff. My town of Portland offers wonderful outdoor-sports access, edgy culture and natural beauty. However, as one who has worked in【C10】______and publishing all my life, I find many of my career contacts are a continent away, in New York.
A)reconciliation I)inhabitants
B)tackled J)tend
C)apparently K)providing
D)counting L)Given
E)tangle M)quantity
F)journalism N)recreational
G)quality O)appropriately
H)intangibles
【C4】
选项
答案L
解析 空格位于a choice之前，故空格处可能是动词的分词形式，作状语。进一步分析该句结构，a choice应作条件状语，本句省略了if，因此用动词的过去分词作状语。根据句意推测此处表示“如果让人们选择”，因此应选L)Given，且能与choice构成搭配。
