问题     When the job market worsens, many students figure they can’t indulge in an English or a history major. They have to study something that will lead【C1】________to a job. So it is almost inevitable that over the next few years, as labor markets struggle, the humanities will continue their long【C2】________. The labs are more glamorous (迷人的) than the libraries.
    However, let me stand up for the history, English and art classes, even in the face of today’s economic realities. Studying the humanities improves your ability to read and write. You will have【C3】________ power if you are the person in the office who can write a clear and concise memo.
    Studying the humanities will give you a familiarity with the language of emotion. In an information economy, many people have the ability to【C4】________a technical innovation: a new MP3 player. Very few people have the ability to create a great brand: the iPod. Branding involves the location and arousal (觉醒，激励) of【C5】________, and you can’t do it unless you are conversant (精通的) in the language of romance.
    Finally, and most importantly, studying the humanities helps you【C6】________"The Big Shaggy". Over the past century or so, people have built【C7】________systems to help them understand human behavior: economics, political science, game theory and evolutionary psychology. But none completely explain behavior because deep down people have passions and【C8】________that don’t lend themselves to systemic modeling. They have yearnings and fears that【C9】________in an inner beast you could call "The Big Shaggy". If you’re【C10】________about "The Big Shaggy", you’ll probably get eaten by it.
    A) affection  F) drives    K) observe
    B) aware      G) dumb      L) produce
    C) befriend   H) dwell     M) sense
    D) blindly    I) enormous  N) slide
    E) directly   J) murder    O) various [br] 【C2】
选项
答案 N
解析 名词辨析题。空格前是形容词long，根据句子结构可知，此处需要填入一个名词作宾语。根据空格处所在句子的前半部分句意“因此，在未来的几年里，随着就业市场的激烈竞争，人文学科将会长期持续________”可知，后半句要表达出人文学科在未来几年里会继续衰退的意思，备选名词中只有slide含有“下跌，下滑”之意，故N为本题答案。
