问题     Read the following passage and decide which answer best fits each space.
    For questions 26~45, mark one letter A, B, C or D on the Answer Sheet.
The "standard of living" of any country means the【C1】______person’s share of the goods and services which the country produces. A country’s standard of living, therefore depends【C2】______and foremost on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this【C3】______is not money, for we do not live on money【C4】______on things that money can buy: "goods" such as food and clothing, and "services" such as【C5】______and "entertainment".
    A country’s capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have an effect【C6】______one another. Wealth depends【C7】______a great extent upon a country’s natural resources. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a【C8】______soil and a favorable climate; other regions【C9】______none of them.
    Next to natural resources【C10】______the ability to turn them to use. China is perhaps as well off as the USA in natural resources, but suffered for many years from【C11】______and external wars, and for this and other reasons was incapable【C12】______her resources. Sound and【C13】______political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country【C14】______well served by nature but less well ordered.
    A country’s standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and【C15】______within its own borders, but also upon what is indirectly produced through international trade. For example, Britain’s wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural products would be much【C16】______if she had to depend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplus manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products that would【C17】______be lacking. A country’s wealth is, therefore, much【C18】______by its manufacturing capacity,【C19】______that other countries can be found ready to【C20】______its manufactures.
【C5】
选项 A、vehicles
B、buses
C、transport
D、films
答案C
解析 考点：上下文推理。分析：根据本句中信息词entertainment(娱乐节目，招待)，可以判断选项C．transport“交通”正确，作者在此以二者为例，说明什么是service(服务)。选项A．vehicles“车辆”(交通工具中一种)；选项B．buses“公共汽车”(交通工具中一种)；选项D．films“电影”(娱乐节目中一种)均因不符合逻辑要求而被排除。
