问题     How do you explain economics in plain English? The Federal Reserve Bank of New York has been answering the question with an even more【C1】________tool: comic books. And it’s been doing that for【C2】________.
    The New York Fed has published comics about money and finance for【C3】________readers more interested in【C4】________since 1950s, according to Edward Steinberg, a former Fed employee who【C5】________several of the comic books【C6】________online today. In the latest ten years, Steinberg supervised a small team of writers and editors that produced the Fed’s print publications and educational【C7】________. such as the comic books.
    Distributed free of charge to teachers, the comics were mostly【C8】________high school students, whom Steinberg felt weren’t learning enough about the economy and personal finance,【C9】________some of the more advanced titles, such as The Story of Monetary Policy, have been taught in several college classrooms.
    It’s no【C10】________that the comic books offer highly simplified opinions on the country’s complex financial systems, but they go out of their way to【C11】________dumbing down the content. Most of the booklets are more than 20 pages, and they’re packed with【C12】________and details that could【C13】________a teenager on a first read: The Story of the Federal Reserve System from 1999 starts off slow by comparing and contrasting the Fed with local neighborhood banks, but it soon【C14】________into specific information about monetary policy, open market operations, government securities, and reserve requirements. With guest【C15】________from Uncle Sam and a walking, talking bank, A Penny Saved offers a crash course in saving before touching【C16】________the advantages and disadvantages of【C17】________in the stock market, real estate, and fine art.
    But the【C18】________part of the series might be the fact that Steinberg doesn’t even like comics. "【C19】________the work that I did at the Fed, I don’t have an interest in comic books," Steinberg says over email. "It was appropriate,【C20】________, that I had a job writing comic books, because everybody can try to earn his living through humor."
【C8】
选项 A、abided by
B、linked to
C、aimed at
D、contented with
答案C
解析 所需动词词组应能反映出comics和high school students的逻辑关系。whom引导的从句表明这些高中生没有学到足够多的经济知识和个人理财知识。可推测漫画书的目标人群是高中生。C项aimed at“瞄准；针对”表明漫画书针对学习的学生而设计。A项abided by意为“遵守”，但本空格前的were提示如果填入abide，该句则为被动语态，abide作及物动词时意为“容忍，忍受，等候”，用法和语义均不符合上下文逻辑。B项linked to意为 “与……相关”。无法具体说明漫画书与中学生间的逻辑关系。D项contented with“对……满意”。常用结构为content sb.with sth.，本句主语为the comics，用法不符。
