People have speculated for centuries about a future without work. Today is no different, with academics, writers, and activists once again【C1】________that technology be replacing human workers. Some imagine that the coming work-free world will be defined by【C2】________: A few wealthy people will own all the capital, and the masses will struggle in an impoverished wasteland.
A different and not mutually exclusive【C3】________holds that the future will be a wasteland of a different sort, one【C4】________by purposelessness: Without jobs to give their lives【C5】________, people will simply become lazy and depressed.【C6】________, today’s unemployed don’t seem to be having a great time. One Gallup poll found that 20 percent of Americans who have been unemployed for at least a year report having depression, double the rate for【C7】________Americans. Also, some research suggests that the【C8】________for rising rates of mortality, mental-health problems, and addicting【C9】________poorly-educated middle-aged people is shortage of well-paid jobs. Perhaps this is why many【C10】________the agonizing dullness of a jobless future.
But it doesn’t【C11】________follow from findings like these that a world without work would be filled with unease. Such visions are based on the【C12】________of being unemployed in a society built on the concept of employment. In the【C13】________of work, a society designed with other ends in mind could【C14】________strikingly different circumstances for the future of labor and leisure. Today, the【C15】________of work may be a bit overblown. "Many jobs are boring, degrading, unhealthy, and a waste of human potential," says John Danaher, a lecturer at the National University of Ireland in Galway.
These days, because leisure time is relatively【C16】________for most workers, people use their free time to counterbalance the intellectual and emotional【C17】________of their jobs. "When I come home from a hard day’s work, I often feel【C18】________," Danaher says, adding, "In a world in which I don’t have to work, I might feel rather different" —perhaps different enough to throw himself【C19】________a hobby or a passion project with the intensity usually reserved for【C20】________matters.
【C5】
选项
A、wisdom
B、meaning
C、glory
D、freedom
答案
B
解析
本题考查名词辨析。本名词出现在一个独立主格结构中,主语是Without jobs,本名词作give的宾语,即“没有工作给予人们生活意义”。四个选项都是名词,都可作宾语,这时我们需要分析句子前后的对应成分。句子后半部分的信息为people will simply become lazy(懒惰的)and depressed(沮丧的),既然人们变懒惰和沮丧了,就已经提示了句子前半部分的信息是“没有了工作赋予人们生活的意义”最为合理,因为生活没有意义的人才会变得懒惰和沮丧,最佳答案是B项meaning(意义)。其他选项例如A项wisdom(智慧)、C项glory (光荣)和D项freedom(自由)所表达的意义与句子后面的信息不搭配,因此均不符合题意,予以排除。
