Historically, humans get serious about avoiding disasters only after one has just struck them. 【C1】______ that logic, 2006 should have been a breakthrough year for rational behavior. With the memory of 9/11 still 【C2】______ in their minds, Americans watched hurricane Katrina, the most expensive disaster in U.S. history, on【C3】______TV. Anyone who didn’ t know it before should have learned that bad things can happen. And they are made【C4】______worse by our willful blindness to risk as much as our 【C5】______ to work together before everything goes to hell.
Granted, some amount of delusion is probably part of the 【C6】______ condition. In A.D. 63, Pompeii was seriously damaged by an earthquake, and the locals immediately went to work 【C7】______ , in the same spot—until they were buried altogether by a volcano eruption 16 years later. But a【C8】______of the past year in disaster history suggests that modern Americans are particularly bad at【C9】______themselves from guaranteed threats. We know more than we【C10】______did about the dangers we face. But it turns【C11】______that in times of crisis, our greatest enemy is【C12】______the storm, the quake or the【C13】______itself. More often, it is ourselves. So what has happened in the year that【C14】______the disaster on the Gulf Coast. In New Orleans, the Army Corps of Engineers has worked day and night to rebuild the floodwalls. They have got the walls to 【C15】______ they were before Katrina, more or less. That’ s not【C16】______, we can now say with confidence. But it may be all【C17】______can be expected from one year of hustle.
Meanwhile, New Orleans officials have crafted a plan to use buses and trains to 【C18】______ the sick and the disabled. The city estimates that 15,000 people will need a【C19】______out. However, state officials have not yet determined where these people will be taken. The【C20】______with neighboring communities are ongoing and difficult.
【C7】
选项
A、revising
B、refining
C、rebuilding
D、retrieving
答案
C
解析
考查动名词辨析。文中提到庞贝城被地震严重毁坏,接着人们应该展开重建工作,因此应选C.rebuilding,表示“重建”。revising意为“修订,修正”;refining意为“精炼,精制”;retrieving意为“重新得到,找回”,均不符合题意。
