问题     The "standard of living" of any country means the average person’s【C1】________  of the goods and services the country produces. A country’s standard of living, therefore, depends on its capacity to produce wealth.  "Wealth"  in this【C2】________ is not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy: "goods" such as food and clothing, and "services" such as【C3】________ and entertainment.
    A country’s capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country’s natural resources. Some regions of the world are well【C4】________ with coal and minerals, and have fertile soil and a【C5】________ climate; other regions possess none of them.
    Next to natural resources comes the ability to【C6】________ them to use. China is perhaps as well-off as the USA in natural resources, but suffered for many years from【C7】________ and external wars, and for this and other reasons, was unable to develop her resources. Sound and stable political conditions, and being free from foreign invasions, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equally well【C8】________ by nature but less well ordered.
    A country’s standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and consumed within its【C9】________ , but also upon what is directly produced through international trade. For example, Britain’s wealth in food stuffs and other agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her【C10】________ manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products that would otherwise be lacking. A country’s wealth is, therefore, much influenced by its manufacturing capacity provided that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.
    A. wealth        B. sense          C. supplied      D. share

选项
答案N
解析 上下文／词义辨析题。根据词性，此处应当填入名词。根据下文“Britain’s wealth in food stuffs and other agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend only on those grown at home．”以英国为例，指出英国国内的农产品不足以满足其需求， “at home”一词提示此处空格表示国界线。boundary“界限；分界线”：The fence marks the boundary between my land and hers．“这道栅栏是我的地和她的地的分界线。”border“边界；边境；国界；国境”。此处指在国内，即国境线内，故选borders。
