问题     Poverty exists because our society is an unequal one, and there are powerful
political pressures to keep it that way. Any attempt to redistributing wealth and       【S1】______
income in the United States will inevitably be opposed by powerful middle and
upper class interests. People can be relatively rich only if you are relatively poor,   【S2】______
and as power is mainly in the hands of the rich, public policies reflect their
interests than those of the poor. As Mr. Herbert Hans has pointed out, poverty is       【S3】______
actually functional from the point of view of the non-poor. Poverty ensures that
dirty work gets doing. If there were no poor people to scrub floors and empty           【S4】______
bedpans, these jobs will have to be rewarded with high incomes before anyone            【S5】______
would touch them. Poverty creates jobs or many of the non-poor, such as police
officers, welfare workers, and government bureaucrats. Poverty makes life easier
for the rich by providing them with cookers, gardeners, and other workers to            【S6】______
perform basic chores when their employers enjoy more pleasurable activities.            【S7】______
Poverty provides a market for more inferior goods and service, such as day-old          【S8】______
bread, rundown automobiles, or the advice of competent physicians and lawyers.          【S9】______
Poverty also provides a group that can be made to absorb the costs of change. It is
just that poverty is an inevitable outcome of the American economic system, in          【S10】______
which the poor are politically powerless to influence or change. [br] 【S9】
选项
答案 competent改为incompetent
解析 此句讲的是穷人所能受的服务，过期的面包、报废的汽车，还有水平低的医生和律师所提供的建议。如果是competent，则成了高水平的医生和律师所提供的建议，那么与整句意思不符。
