The "think-tank" label became popular in the 1950s, 【C3】______ which time there were already plenty of such organizations in existence. Many of America’s most 【C4】______ tanks were founded in the early 20th century. But think-tanks really 【C5】______ in the second half of the 20th century.
Think-tanks 【C6】______ fill the gap between academia and policymaking. Academics 【C7】______ authoritative studies, 【C8】______ at a snail’s pace. Journalists’ first drafts of history are 【C9】______ but thin. A good think-tank helps the policymaking process by publishing reports that are as 【C10】______ as academic research and as accessible as journalism. They 【C11】______ in the 20th century for two reasons. Governments were expanding everywhere, meaning there was lots of 【C12】______ for policy expertise.

【C9】
选项
A、hasty
B、swift
C、speedy
D、jerky
答案
C
解析
同义词辨析题。根据文中Journalists’first drafts可推测新闻报道的历史初稿的特点就是快速,四个选项均有“快”的意思,但是内在涵义不同,A项hasty指的是“快速”,但是暗含“匆忙"之意,B项swift指的是“轻盈迅速的”,C项speedy指的是“速度之快”,D项jerky表示“快”,但是是“突然的,不平稳的”,根据句意,本题应选择C项speedy。
