One important change in such a society is that the ownership of (4)_____ amounts of capital is no longer the only or even the most important (5)_____ of profits and influence; knowledge as well as (6)_____ capital brings profits and influence.
There are many (7)_____ with the thesis above, not the least of (8)_____ is that wealthy capitalists can buy the experts and knowledge they need to keep their profits and influence.

选项
A、enforce
B、punish
C、confine
D、condemn
答案
D
解析
动词辨析及搭配题。condemn sb. to sth./to do sth.意思是"宣告某人要受到的惩罚;判某人刑(尤指死刑);"使某人注定";"使某人接受不好的事物",符合文意。本句意思是:但我们已经发展到了这样的时刻,不懂电脑使更多人受到阻碍,注定他们一辈子只能干低报酬的非技术的工作。enforce(强迫)与punish(惩罚)的宾语后一般不能接to。confine sb. to意为"将某人限制在",也不合文意。
