   To some thinkers, it is machines and their development that drive economic and cultural change. This idea is referred to as technological determinism. Certainly there can be no doubt that machines contributed to the Protestant Reformation and the decline of the Catholic Church’s power in Europe or【C1】______ television has changed the way family members interact. Those who believe in technological determinism would argue that these changes in the cultural landscape were the 【C2】______result of new technology.
   But others see technology as more neutral and claim that the way people use technology is what gives it significance. This 【C3】______ accepts technology as one of many factors that shape economic and cultural change: technology’s influence is 【C4】______ determined by how much power it is given by the people and cultures that use it.
   This 【C5】______about the power of technology is at the heart of the controversy surrounding the new communication technologies. Are we more or less powerless in the 【C6】______of advances such as the Internet, the World Wide Web, and instant global audio and visual communication? If we are at the mercy of technology, the culture that surrounds us will not be of our 【C7】______, and the best we can hope to do is make our way reasonably well in a world outside our own control. But if these technologies are indeed neutral and their power 【C8】______in how we choose to use them, we can utilize them responsibly and 【C9】______to construct and maintain whatever kind of culture we want. As film director and technophile Steve Spielberg explained, "Technology can be our best friend, and technology can also be the biggest party pooper of our lives. It interrupts our own story, interrupts our ability to have a thought or 【C10】______, to imagine something wonderful. " [br] 【C10】
选项
答案 A
解析 词义辨析题。分析句子结构可知，空格位于连词or之后，与have a thought为并列结构，因此，空格处应填入一个动词。本题还可以将空格处的词与thought理解为并列结构，那么空格处就应当填入一个单数名词。结合上下文可知，科技可以是我们最好的朋友，也可能会是让我们的生活非常不愉快的因素。它会扰乱我们的生活，扰乱我们思考与幻想的能力，让我们无法继续奇思妙想。daydream一词既可用作可数名词，也可用作动词，也是唯一与“幻想”相关的词，故A项daydream为答案。
