They drive hybrid cars, if they drive at all, shop at local stores, if they shop at all and pay off their credit cards every month, if they use them at all.
They may have【C1】______income, but they live below their means, in a conscious effort to tread【C2】______on the earth.
They are a new breed of "generation" , Young and Wealthy but Normal, or Yawns.
The acronym(首字母缩略词)comes from The Sunday Telegraph of London, which noted that an increasing number of rich young Britons are【C3】______aware, concerned about the environment and given less to【C4】______than to giving money to charity.
Yawns sound dull, but they are the new movers and shakers, their【C5】______big and bold. They are men and women in their 20 s, 30s and 40 s who want nothing less than to【C6】______the world and save the planet.
Take Sean Blagsvedt, who【C7】______from Seattle to India in 2004 to help build the local office of Microsoft Research. Moved by young children begging on the streets, Blagsvedt quit Microsoft and【C8】______two networking sites, babajob. com and babalife. com, to link India’s vast pool of【C9】______workers with the people who need labor. The larger goal—to reduce【C10】______.
The high-tech world has produced some Yawns, but more and more are appearing in every walk of life. In fact, Yawns are a subset of a growing global movement of the eco-socially aware.
A)change I)lightly
B)consciously J)moved
C)consuming K)overturn
D)crucial L)potential
E)desires M)poverty
F)disposable N)socially
G)dreams O)tracked
H)launched
【C4】
选项
答案
C
解析
空格位于动词短语given to的后面,to为介词,故应填入名词或动名词,因than构成比较时,前后语法结构基本一致,所以可以由动名词短语giving money to charity判断空格处最好为动名词。文章前两段都提到这群人的简朴生活,本句还强调越来越多年轻富有的英国人有社会意识,关注环境,捐给慈善机构的钱应该是比自己消费的要多,故空格处应填consuming“消费”。备选的名词中,desires“欲望”、dreams“梦想”和poverty“贫困”从语法形式上和语义上都与原文不相符,故均排除。
