As millions of American jobs disappeared over the past few months, in some cases forever, there was one【C1】________for the newly unemployed. They could receive $600 a week more than usual in unemployment benefits, part of a safety net created by Congress in the early days of the pandemic to【C2】________the often thin benefits that people would normally have received.
【C3】________that program had a July 31【C4】________date, and many desperate situations could become far bleaker if Congress does not extend Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) , the enhanced unemployment benefits【C5】________in March. In Arkansas, people receiving $681 a week could see the【C6】________to $81 a week. The maximum unemployment benefit in Tennessee could【C7】________to $275 a week. Even where the base support is higher, benefits expire after a set number of weeks—as would expire an 【C8】________And no one knows how long the pandemic will continue to wreak havoc 【C9】________the economy.
Megan K. Rocks, a 38-year-old single mother in Athens, Ga. , expects to see her weekly income go from $ 725 to $125. After the events company where Rocks worked as a graphic designer cleared its calendar for the year, the extra $ 600 a week helped【C10】________rent, car insurance and other bills. It also meant that amid an【C11】________of childcare options, she could stay home with her 11-year-old son. The【C12】________expiration of these benefits leaves Rocks few options. " At this point, " she says, " I have no idea what I’m going to do.
It’s not just【C13】________who have benefited from the enhanced safety net; it’s the entire economy. The extra unemployment benefits helped bring tens of millions of Americans’ earnings up to the【C14】________U. S. weekly wage, allowing them to pay for【C15】________ and maybe even spend on extras like school supplies or entertainment. That spending helped support as many as 2. 8 million jobs, reducing the unemployment rate by as much as 1. 8%, according to the Joint Economic Committee.
Crucially, much of the spending happening right now can be【C16】________to lower-income individuals. Harvard researchers recently found that people at the bottom of the income【C17】________ are spending nearly as much as they did before the pandemic,【C18】________high-income households have【C19】________cut spending. About 25 million Americans will continue to be unemployed throughout the summer and early fall. Without additional unemployment benefits, low-earner spending will fall suddenly, costing even more jobs.
The crisis faced by jobless Americans【C20】________the complicated condition of unemployment insurance in the U. S. Legal advocates are concerned that some families will be driven to take out high-interest loans, which could send them into an endless cycle of poverty.
【C14】

B、common
C、ordinary

解析
形容词辨析题。[A]average“平均的”;[B]common“普通的”;[C]ordinary“平常的”;[D]universal“普遍的”。结合语境,空格处所填词应有“平均”之意。在四个选项中,选项[A]强调的是一般水准或普通水准,通常在有数字出现的情况下,表示“平均的”。选项[B]强调事物的共同性。选项[C]指没有什么特别的地方。选项[D]有“全然、没有例外的”意思。故答案为选项[A]。
