问题     How do you explain economics in plain English? The Federal Reserve Bank of New York has been answering the question with an even more【C1】________tool: comic books. And it’s been doing that for【C2】________.
    The New York Fed has published comics about money and finance for【C3】________readers more interested in【C4】________since 1950s, according to Edward Steinberg, a former Fed employee who【C5】________several of the comic books【C6】________online today. In the latest ten years, Steinberg supervised a small team of writers and editors that produced the Fed’s print publications and educational【C7】________. such as the comic books.
    Distributed free of charge to teachers, the comics were mostly【C8】________high school students, whom Steinberg felt weren’t learning enough about the economy and personal finance,【C9】________some of the more advanced titles, such as The Story of Monetary Policy, have been taught in several college classrooms.
    It’s no【C10】________that the comic books offer highly simplified opinions on the country’s complex financial systems, but they go out of their way to【C11】________dumbing down the content. Most of the booklets are more than 20 pages, and they’re packed with【C12】________and details that could【C13】________a teenager on a first read: The Story of the Federal Reserve System from 1999 starts off slow by comparing and contrasting the Fed with local neighborhood banks, but it soon【C14】________into specific information about monetary policy, open market operations, government securities, and reserve requirements. With guest【C15】________from Uncle Sam and a walking, talking bank, A Penny Saved offers a crash course in saving before touching【C16】________the advantages and disadvantages of【C17】________in the stock market, real estate, and fine art.
    But the【C18】________part of the series might be the fact that Steinberg doesn’t even like comics. "【C19】________the work that I did at the Fed, I don’t have an interest in comic books," Steinberg says over email. "It was appropriate,【C20】________, that I had a job writing comic books, because everybody can try to earn his living through humor."
【C11】

选项 A、favor
B、avoid
C、delay
D、resume

答案B

解析 but表明此句内容或逻辑与上一分句存在转折。上一分句提到“漫画书提供简单观点”,下句又提到Steinberg等人设计的漫画书很长,并且书中有details。由此可判断。他们“竭力尝试”……漫画书内容过于简单。B项avoid“避免”符合语义要求。A项favor“赞成,偏爱”代入后表示Steinberg等人想让内容非常简单,与but所表示的逻辑相矛盾。C项delay“延期”表明Steinberg等人要延迟对内容的修改,文中并无相关语义提示。D项意为“重新开始;恢复”,文中并没有提到中止的情况。
