As the world excitedly greeted Snuppy, the first cloned (克隆) dog, commentators celebrated our cleverness. Many feel proud that our age is marked by technological【C1】______ .
But an article in British newspaper The Observer recently said true innovation has【C2】______ from our society.
The writer was Peter Watson, author of the book Ideas—A History from Fire to Freud. Watson began: "The year 2005 can’t begin to compete with 1905 in terms of【C3】______ innovations."
"Writing a history of ideas over the past three years, I have been【C4】______ time and again by the fact that, contrary to what we tell ourselves all the time—on TV, in newspapers and magazines, in【C5】______ and in government propaganda—our present world is nowhere near as【C6】______ and innovative as it thinks it is, certainly in comparison with past ages.
"Yes, we are dazzled by mobile phones, cameras, digital TV, and the www, by laser-guided surgery and bombs, by DNA fingerprinting, and now by cloning. These are not【C7】______ things but do they change the way we think in important—in fundamental—directions?"
Watson quotes Richard Southern, Oxford University historian, who died last year: "Southern thought the most interesting times in history were 1050-1250 and 1750-1950."
"Each of these periods transformed our understanding of ourselves【C8】______ ".
"But what great ideas or transformations have been【C9】______ in the half-century since 1950?" Watson asked, pointing out that except for a few innovations such as the Internet, most scientific research【C10】______ modifies previous studies.
A) rarely E) distributed I) radically M) interesting
B) introduced F) important J) struck N) advertising
C) merely G) advances K) disappeared O) pessimistic
D) intimate H) statistics L) small [br] 【C6】
选项
答案
M
解析
句中的as…as…结构提示此处需要形容词,和innovative并列,且该词应该与innovative一样表示积极意义。根据下文,倒数第3段和最后一段分别提到了the most interesting times in history和a few innovations,由此推断此处应填入interesting。
