问题     These days we hear a lot of nonsense about the great classless society. The idea that the twentieth century is the age of the common man has become one of the great cliches(陈词滥调) of our time. The same old arguments are【B1】in evidence. Here are some of them: monarchy(君主政体)【B2】a system of government has been completely discredited. The monarchies that【B3】have been deprived of all political power.【B4】wealth has been savagely reduced by taxation and, in time, the great fortunes will disappear altogether. In a number of countries the victory has been complete. The people rule; the great millennium(太平盛世) has become a political reality. But has it? Close examination doesn’t【B5】the claim.
    It is a fallacy to suppose that all men are equal and that society will be leveled out【B6】you provide every-body【B7】the same educational opportunities. (It is debatable whether you can ever provide everyone with the same educational opportunities, but that is【B8】question.) The fact is that nature dispenses(分配) brains and ability with a total disregard for the principle of equality. The old rules of the jungle, "survival of the【B9】", and might is right are still with us. The spread of education has【B10】the old class system and created a new one.

选项 A、put up
B、put on
C、put off
D、put forward

答案D

解析 put forward意为"提出、建议",本句为被动语态。这篇文章开篇即明确抨击"无阶级社会"这种错误理论,"The same old argument"呼应前一句中的"great cliches(陈词滥调)"。作者认为,这种胡说八道还自有其论据,下文列举了一二。put up:举起,建立,树立,给予,提供等等。put off: 推迟,延期,脱掉。put on:穿戴,增加,安排。
