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 I) prosperity
B) displaced J) responsive
C) employed K) rhythm
D) eventually L) sentiments
E) impact M) shrunk
F) jobless N) swept
G) primarily O) withdrawn
H) productive [br] 【C6】
选项
答案
F
解析
空格位于动词rendered之后,render后面一般跟形容词,表达“使……怎么样”的含义。根据句意可知,离开了土地并没有使农业工人失业。由此可知答案为F)jobless“失业的”。备选项中的responsive与上下文语义不符,故排除。
