Americans’ pride and faith of their economic system,【C1】________that it provides opportunities for all citizens to have good lives, are【C2】________ by the【C3】________ that poverty persists in many parts of the country.
Government anti-poverty efforts have made some progress but have not eradicated the problem.【C4】________, periods of strong economic growth, which bring more jobs and higher wages, have【C5】________ poverty but have not【C6】________ it entirely.
The federal government【C7】________poverty line as a minimum【C8】________of income【C9】________for basic maintenance of a family of four. This amount may fluctuate【C10】________the cost of living and the location of the family. In 1998, a family of four with an annual income below $16,530 was classified【C11】________ living in poverty.
The percentage of people living below poverty line dropped from 22.4 percent in 1959 to 11.4 percent in 1978. But【C12】________ , it has fluctuated in a fairly narrow range. In 1998, it stood at 12.7 percent.
【C13】________ , the overall figures mask much more severe pockets of poverty. In 1998, more than one-quarter of all African-Americans lived in poverty; though【C14】________high, that figure did represent an improvement from 1979 when 31 percent of blacks were officially classified as poor.
There are【C15】________estimations on the accuracy of official poverty figures. Some analysts have suggested that the official poverty figures【C16】________the real【C17】________of poverty because they measure only cash income and exclude certain government assistance programs such as Food Stamps. Others point out, however, that these programs【C18】________cover all of a family’s food or health care needs.【C19】________others point out that people at the poverty line sometimes receive cash income from【C20】________work and in the underground sector of economy which is never recorded in official statistics.
【C9】
选项
A、enough
B、insufficient
C、scarce
D、necessary
答案
A
解析
本填空考查的形容词后面的提示线索为:for basic maintenance of a family of four,而前面的提示线索为:minimum ________ of income,即前文是“收入的数量”,后文是“维持一家四口的基本生活”,这里要特别注意basic这个线索词。此外,我们还知道本句子是在定义poverty line(贫困线)。综合这些线索,四个选项中B)insufficient(不足够的)和C)scarce(稀缺的)是不对的,而选项D)necessary(必要的),指的是必要性,而本填空前文的线索是在讲述amount,是个数量的概念,因此最佳答案为选项A)enough表示“数量上足够”,即“足够一家四口维持基本生活的最低收入数额”。
