问题     The United States is widely recognized to have a private economy because privately owned businesses play【C1】________roles. The American free enterprise system【C2】________private ownership more than public sectors. Private businesses produce【C3】________goods and services,【C4】________almost two-thirds of the nation’s total economic output goes to【C5】________for personal use. The consumer role is【C6】________great, in fact, that the nation is sometimes characterized as having a "【C7】________economy".
    This emphasis【C8】________private ownership arises,【C9】________, from American beliefs about personal freedom. From the time the nation was【C10】________, Americans have【C11】________excessive government power, and they have sought to【C12】________government’s authority over individuals—including its role in the economic realm.
    【C13】________, Americans generally believe that an economy largely with private ownership is likely to operate more【C14】________than【C15】________with substantial government ownership. When economic forces are unfettered, Americans believe, supply and demand【C16】________the price of good and services. Prices, in turn, tell businesses what to produce; if people want more of a particular good than the economy is producing, the price of the goods【C17】________. That catches the attention of new or other companies that,【C18】________an opportunity to earn profit, start producing more【C19】________that goods. On the other hand, if people want less of the goods, prices fall and less competitive producers either go out of business or start producing 【C20】________goods.
【C2】

选项 A、emphasizes
B、praises
C、evaluates
D、compares

答案A

解析 本填空考查动词,主语为The American free enterprise system,宾语为private ownership more than public sectors。根据文章的主线倾向,美国是建立在私有制经济的基础上的,所以在四个动词中,A项emphasizes(侧重,强调)是最符合题意的,其他选项例如B项praises(表扬)、C项evaluates(评估)和D项compares(比较)所表达的动作均不合适。其实本题的答案通过复现结构也可以找出来,由本文第二段的首句就可以定位出答案,本文第二段的首句已经说明了美国对私有产权的倚重,通过已知线索词emphasis可以确定本填空的答案为A项emphasizes。
