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."
【C13】
选项 A、overwhelm
B、disgust
C、dominate
D、entertain
答案A
解析 that引导定语从句修饰前面的________and details。从从句中主语和宾语的语义来看，可判断所需动词应反映册子内容对青少年读者的影响和作用。A项overwhelm后接入做宾语时，可指某人在精神或情感上受到很大的影响，意为“征服”，符合语义。上文提到银行想让高中生了解更多的金融知识，因此竭力设计有吸引力的内容以达到宣传效果，B项disgust代入后指“使青少年反感”，语义矛盾。C项dominate意为“控制”，常指在能力、影响、职位上高的人对相对低的人的支配。D项entertain虽可表示“使有兴趣”，但它侧重的是“使人感到欢乐”。通读文章，可知银行发行漫画书的目的不是让青少年感到开心而是要宣传金融知识。
