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.
【C12】

选项 A、expand
B、develop
C、limit
D、destroy

答案C

解析 本填空考查动词,直接受到文章的核心主线倾向的影响。因为待选动词的宾语为government’s authority over individuals(政府对个人的权力),只要清楚文章的主线倾向,把握前文的信息Americans feared excessive government power,本填空的动词就绝不可能是选项A)expand(扩大)和B)develop(发展),只可能在选项C)和D)之间选择。而D)destroy表示“毁灭”,很不恰当,只有选项C)limit(限制)是最合适的,所以答案为C)。
