Innovation, the elixir (灵丹妙药) of progress, has always cost people their jobs. In the Industrial Revolution hand weavers were【C1】________ aside by the mechanical loom. Over the past 30 years the digital revolution has【C2】________ many of the mid-skill jobs that supported 20th-century middle-class life. Typists, ticket agents, bank tellers and many production-line jobs have been dispensed with, just as the weavers were.
For those who believe that technological progress has made the world a better place, such disruption is a natural part of rising【C3】________. Although innovation kills some jobs, it creates new and better ones, as a more【C4】________ society becomes richer and its wealthier inhabitants demand more goods and services. A hundred years ago one in three American workers was【C5】________ on a farm. Today less than 2% of them produce far more food. The millions freed from the land were not rendered【C6】________ but found better-paid work as the economy grew more sophisticated. Today the pool of secretaries has【C7】________, but there are ever more computer programmers and web designers.
Optimism remains the right starting-point, but for workers the dislocating effects of technology may make themselves evident faster than its【C8】________. Even if new jobs and wonderful products emerge, in the short term income gaps will widen, causing huge social dislocation and perhaps even changing politics. Technology’s【C9】________ will feel like a tornado (旋风), hitting the rich world first, but【C10】________ sweeping through poorer countries too. No government is prepared for it.
A) benefits F) jobless K) rhythm
B) displaced G) primarily L) sentiments

E) impact J) responsive O) withdrawn [br] 【C10】
选项
答案
D
解析
副词辨析题。该空格位于转折连词but之后,现在分词sweeping之前,故应填入副词。根据句意可知,此处是指技术的影响力就像一阵旋风,先吹过富国,最终也会掠过较为贫穷的国家。填入的副词应显示出发展的先后顺序,由此可知答案为D)eventually“最后,终于”。
