问题 Like many of the protesters at Occupy Wall Street in New York, Amanda Vodola is young, underemployed and loaded with student debt. She spends her days running around, helping【C1】______the movement, and her evenings waiting tables at a restaurant in Brooklyn. Last spring, she graduated from Fordham University【C2】______a degree in English. "I grew up with this narrative that to get a good job I need to go to school," she says. But the job she has " is not enough to pay the bills. " And the bills she’s【C3】______most about are the ones tied to that narrative: the $ 30,000 she【C4】______in college loans.
In November, when their six-month grace period runs【C5】______, Vodola and millions of other students who graduated in May have to start【C6】______their loans. Repayment requirements for private loans kick in regardless of whether【C7】______have found jobs. Since employment rates for recent college graduates have【C8】______in the past two years, as have starting salaries, the【C9】______of a sharp rise in student-loan delinquencies (到期未付) has led some economists to【C10】______that this could be the next financial crisis, rippling (波及) into the wider economy. Total US student-loan debt, which exceeded credit-card debt【C11】______the first time last year, is on track to【C12】______$ 1, 000 billion this year. That’s a nearly 8%【C13】______over last year.
But neither these【C14】______nor the voices of students,【C15】______by debt, at protests in cities and on campuses【C16】______the nation are likely to keep the families of high school seniors【C17】______seeing a brand-name education as a【C18】______to a better life. They’ve long been told that higher education is an【C19】______in the future—even as the costs of college has【C20】______538% over the past 30 years. [br] 【C12】

选项 A、blow
B、knock
C、hit
D、pound

答案 C

解析动词辨义。空格前面为to，后面为$1，000 billion，需要填入动词，结合前半句，此处表达的是“今年学生贷款债务即将达到一万亿美元”，hit“达到(某一水平或数量)”符合题意。blow意为“吹，炸毁”；knock意为“敲，碰撞”；pound意为“猛打”，均不符合句意，可以排除。
