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.
【C11】

选项 A、exterminated
B、scared
C、appreciate
D、feared

答案D

解析 本填空考查动词,首先该动词的主语为Americans,宾语为excessive government power(过度的政府权力),只要考生很清晰本文的核心主线及文章的基本倾向——美国是私有经济国家,美国人信仰个人自由,就可以首先排除C)appreciate(感激),此动词与本文倾向背道而驰,而A)exterminated(终结)也不合适。我们主要在B)和D)两个选项中确定答案,B)scared和D)feared似乎都有“害怕”的意思,但B)scared表示的是“吓唬,使别人害怕”,明显不对;选项D)feared意为“害怕、担忧”,符合题意,表达美国人害怕过度的政府权力。
