问题     In every economic system, entrepreneurs and managers bring
together natural resources, labor, and technology to produce and
distribute goods and services. But the way these different elements
are organized and used also reflect a nation’s political ideals and【S1】______
their culture. The United States is often described as a "capitalist"【S2】______
economy, a term coined by 19th-century German economist and
social theorist Karl Marx to describe a system which a small group of【S3】______
people who control large amounts of money, or capital, make the
most important economic decisions. Marx contrasted capitalist
economies to " socialist" ones, which give more power in the
political system. Marx and his followers believed that capitalist
economies concentrate power in the hand of wealthy business【S4】______
people, who aim mainly to maximize profits; socialist economies,
on the other hand, would be more like to feature greater control by【S5】______
government, which tends to put political aims—a more equal
distribution of society’s resources, for instance—ahead of profits.
    Does pure capitalism exist in the United States? While those
categories, if oversimplified, have elements of truth to them, they【S6】______
are far less relevant today. If the pure capitalism described by Marx
ever existed, it has long since disappeared, as governments in the
United States and many of other countries have intervened in their【S7】______
economies to limit concentrations of power and address many of the
social problems associating with unchecked private commercial【S8】______
interests. As a result, the American economy is perhaps better
described as a " mixed" economy, with government playing the【S9】______
important role along with private enterprise.
    Although Americans often disagree about exactly where to
draw the line between their beliefs in both free enterprise and
government management, the mixed economy they have
developed has been remarkable successful.【S10】______
【S5】
选项
答案like—likely
解析 固定搭配错误。be likely to的意思是“很可能……”，为固定搭配，故将like改为likely。
