    Middle class is not a real designation, nor does it carry privileges. However, the United States 【B1】______itself to be a middle-class nation. It is more of a perception, which probably was as true as it ever could be right after World War II. The【B2】______was growing, more and more people owned their own homes, workers had solid contracts with the companies that employed them, and nearly everyone who wanted a higher education could have one. 【B3】______people enjoyed upward social mobility. They may have started out poor, but they could become rich. Successful people also found that they had greater geographic mobility. In other words, they found themselves moving to and living in a【B4】______of places.
    The middle class【B5】______holds several values and principles. One strong value is the need to earn enough money to feel that one can determine one’ s own economic fate.

【B1】
选项
答案G
解析 此处缺少谓语，需要填一个动词，这个动词还必须能和to be搭配，纵观备选单词只有两个动词：perceives和meet，由于主语the United States是第三人称单数，所以谓语动词不能是动词原形，meet从语法上和意思上都不对，故排除；perceive…to be属于常见用法，意思是“把……视为……”，此句意思是“美国把自己视为中产阶级国家”，因此应选G。
