Americans’ pride and faith of their economic system,【C1】________that it provides opportunities for all citizens to have good lives, are【C2】________by the【C3】________that poverty persists in many parts of the country.
Government anti-poverty efforts have made some progress but have not eradicated the problem. 【C4】________, periods of strong economic growth, which bring more jobs and higher wages, have【C5】________poverty but have not【C6】________it entirely.
The federal government【C7】________poverty line as a minimum【C8】________of income【C9】________for basic maintenance of a family of four. This amount may fluctuate【C10】________the cost of living and the location of the family. In 1998, a family of four with an annual income below $16,530 was classified【C11】________living in poverty.
The percentage of people living below poverty line dropped from 22.4 percent in 1959 to 11.4 percent in 1978. But【C12】________, it has fluctuated in a fairly narrow range. In 1998, it stood at 12.7 percent.
【C13】________, the overall figures mask much more severe pockets of poverty. In 1998, more than one-quarter of all African-Americans lived in poverty; though【C14】________high, that figure did represent an improvement from 1979 when 31 percent of blacks were officially classified as poor.
There are【C15】________estimations on the accuracy of official poverty figures. Some analysts have suggested that the official poverty figures【C16】________the real【C17】________of poverty because they measure only cash income and exclude certain government assistance programs such as Food Stamps. Others point out, however, that these programs【C18】________cover all of a family’s food or health care needs.【C19】________others point out that people at the poverty line sometimes receive cash income from【C20】________work and in the underground sector of economy which is never recorded in official statistics.
【C14】
选项
A、distressingly
B、encouragingly
C、promisingly
D、passively
答案
A
解析
本填空考查副词,其被修饰成分为high,更为关键的线索是本填空又处在一个让步逻辑关系中(though),所以要进一步定位though之后的原文信息:that figure did represent an improvement from 1979,这里的关键线索为improvement(改善),因此可以推断出之前的本填空所在句子的信息是强调问题的严重性,这个倾向确定了之后,B项encouragingly(令人鼓舞地)和C项promisingly(有希望地)就被排除了;D项passively(被动地,消极地)所表示的意思与本题无关,只有A项distressingly(令人悲观地)最合适,所以答案为A项distressingly。
