问题     One in six. Believe it or not, that’s the number of Americans who struggle with hunger. To make tomorrow a little better, Feeding America, the nation’s largest【S1】______hunger-relief organization, has chosen September as Hunger Action Month. As part of its 30 Ways in 30 Days program, it’s asking【S2】______across the country to help the more than 200 food banks and 61,000 agencies in its network provide low-income individuals and families with the fuel they need to【S3】______.
    It’s the kind of work that’s done every day at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in San Antonio. People who【S4】______at its front door on the first and third Thursdays of each month aren’t looking for God — they’re there for something to eat. St Andrew’s runs a food pantry (食品室) that【S5】______the city and several of the【S6】______towns. Janet Drane is its manager.
    In the wake of the【S7】______. the number of families in need of food assistance began to grow. It is【S8】______that 49 million Americans are unsure of where they will find their next meal. What’s most surprising is that 36% of them live in【S9】______where at least one adult is working. "It used to be that one job was all you needed," says St. Andrew’s Drane. "The people we see now have three or four part-time jobs and they’re still right on the edge【S10】______."
[A] survive              [F] recession                        [K] domestic
[B] surrounding          [G] households                       [L] competition
[C] serves               [H] gather                           [M] communities
[D] reviewed             [I] formally                         [N] circling
[E] reported             [J] financially                      [O] accumulate [br] 【S10】

选项

答案 J

解析 分析句子结构可知,句子成分完整,结合空格位置可知,本空应填副词,[I]formally,[J]financially入选。本句用了still“仍然”,由此可知,这里说的是“即便做三或四份兼职,在经济上也不稳定”,故答案为[J]financially“财政上,经济上”。on the edge意为“临界状态,不稳定的状态”。
