    Lawyers are less than 1% of American adults,【C1】________ they are well-represented in government. Both the president and the vice-president trained as lawyers. So did 55% of senators and 100% of Supreme Court justices. There are【C2】________ to having a bit of legal expertise among those who write and【C3】________ the nation’s laws, or assess their constitutionality. But there is also a potential conflict of interest. If florists had such a lock on the levers of power, you might expect subsidies for weddings and a campaign to beautify cities. Lawyers, alas, are no more【C4】________.
    The American legal system is the most lawyer-friendly on Earth. It is dizzily【C5】________. The regulations that accompany the Dodd-Frank law governing Wall Street, for example, are already more than 3 million words long—and not yet half-written. Companies must hire【C6】________ lawyers to guide them through a labyrinth (迷宫) created by other lawyers. They must also hire lawyers to defend themselves against attacks by other lawyers on a playing field【C7】________ by lawyers. The cost—roughly $800 a year for every American—is passed on to consumers. The benefits are hard to detect. Americans are probably no less likely to be injured or【C8】________ than the citizens of countries that spend a fraction as much.
    So it is hard to feel sympathy for lawyers facing a【C9】________ labour market. America’s 250 biggest law firms shed more than 9,500 people last year. Law students are struggling to find the lavishly paid work they expected after graduation. One big law firm even went bust. None of this is nice for the people【C10】________. especially those with large student debts.
【C4】
选项
答案A
解析 空格前的are提示，空格处应填入形容词或动词分词。本句意为“律师不会更加……”，上一句提到如果卖花商人当权，会做出对其有利的决定(实施婚礼补贴和美化城市运动都可以增加鲜花的销量)，这是自私的行径，空格前有表否定的no more，故应选selfless“无私的”，说明律师也会这样自私。
