People who were not directly involved in trade often【C2】________ in small cottage industries making handcrafted goods. Blacksmiths, silversmiths, candle makers, and other artisans worked in their homes or barns, relying on help of family.
Perhaps no single phenomenon brought more widespread and lasting change to the United States society than the rise of【C3】________ . Industrial growth depended on several economic factors. First, industry requires an abundance of natural resources, especially coal, iron ore, water, petroleum, and timber—all readily available on the North American Continent.

They also helped build the vast network of canals and railroads that linked important trade centers essential to industrial growth.

Many adults, poor and disillusioned with farm life, were attracted to the cities by promises of【C6】________ employment, regular paychecks, increased access to goods and services. Inventions like mechanized harvesters allowed one farmhand to perform work that【C7】________ had required several, thus making farming capital-intensive rather than labor-intensive.
The United States economy underwent a massive transition and the nature of work was permanently altered. Whereas cottage industries【C8】________ on a few highly skilled craft workers who slowly and carefully converted raw materials into finished products from start to finish, factories relied on specialization.

A. monotonous B. expense C. production D. sophisticated
E. complex F. relied G. exclusively H. participated

答案
B
解析
词组固定搭配题。根据词性,此处应当填入名词。at…expense“花费”是习惯用法,例如:at sb.’s expense“由某人支付”,at public expense“用公款”。此句可理解为“工厂生产效率更高,商品的批量生产成本更少”,所以选择expense。
