问题     Scholars of the information society are divided over whether social inequality decreases or increases in an information-based society. However, they generally agree with the idea that inequality in the information society is【C1】______different from that of an industrial society. As informatization progresses in society, the cause and structural nature of social inequality changes as well.
    It seems that the information society【C2】______the quantity of information available to the members of a society by revolutionizing the ways of using and exchanging information. But such a view is a【C3】______analysis based on the quantity of information supplied by various forms of the mass media. A different【C4】______is possible when the actual amount of information【C5】______by the user is taken into account. In fact, the more information【C6】______throughout the entire society, the wider the gap becomes between "information haves" and "information have-nots" , leading to digital divide.
    According to recent studies, digital divide has been caused by three major【C7】______: class, sex, and generation. In terms of class, digital divide exists among different types of workers and between the upper and middle classes and the lower class. With【C8】______to sex, digital divide exists between men and women. The greatest gap, however, is between the Net-generation,【C9】______with personal computers and the Internet, and the older generation,【C10】______to an industrial society.

选项
答案 G
解析 动词辨析题。空格前面为名词短语the information society，通过分析句子结构可知，空格处与前面的名词短语the information society为主谓关系，因此空格处需要填入动词的第三人称单数形式。文章第一段提到，信息社会中的不公平发生了变化，本句承接上段指出原因：表面上看，信息社会似乎通过变革使用信息和交换信息的方式扩大了社会成员所能接触到的信息量，因此空格处动词应该有“扩大”或“增加”的意思。另外，空格处的动词应该能够和后面的介词to进行搭配。备选动词中符合以上两点要求的只有expands，expands…to…意思为“扩大到……”，由此确定答案。此外，空格处需要填入动词第三人称单数形式，因此可以排除分词形式的accustomed与acquired和动词原形attribute与regard；而flows无法与the quantity of information搭配，而且不符合句意，可以排除。
