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] 【C10】
选项
答案
C
解析
空格所在句主谓宾结构完整,由此推断此处应填入副词修饰谓语modifies。上文已经提到当今的世界没有过去的世界有趣和有创新性.因此可知大部分科学研究都没什么创新,所以答案为merely。merely modifies previous studies意为“仅仅修改了以前的研究”。
