What will future historians remember about the impact of science 【C1】______ the last decade of the 20th century? They will not be much 【C2】______ with many of the marvels that currently preoccupy us, 【C3】______ the miraculous increase in the power of home computers and the unexpected growth of the Internet. 【C4】______ will they dwell much 【C5】______ global warming, the loss of biodiversity and other examples of our penchant for 【C6】______ .Instead, tile end of the 20th century will be 【C7】______ as the time when, for better or worse, science began to bring 【C8】______ a fundamental shift in our 【C9】______ of ourselves.
It will be the 【C10】______ time that science has forced us to re evaluate 【C11】______ we are. The first time, of course, was the revolution that 【C12】______ Copernicus in 1543 and continued with Kepler, Galileo and Newton. 【C13】______ the Church’s opposition, we came to realize that the Earth does not 【C14】______ at the center of the universe. 【C15】______ we gradually found we live on a small planet on the edge of a minor galaxy, 【C16】______ one star in a universe that contains billions of others. Our 【C17】______ position in the universe was gone forever.
A few centuries later we were removed even 【C18】______ from stage center. The Darwinian revolution removed us from our position as a unique 【C19】______ of God. Instead we discovered we were just another part of the animal kingdom proud to have "a miserable ape for a grandfather", as Thomas Huxley 【C20】______ in 1860. We know now just how close to the apes we are—over 90% of our genes are the same of those of tile chimpanzee. [br] 【C17】
选项
A、permanent
B、constant
C、unique
D、essential
答案
C
解析
此题考查形容词的用法。这个题要通过上下文的含义来判断。既然我们已经认识到我们的地球只不过是一个极为普通的星球而已,那么我们生活的地球在整个宇宙中就不再具有一个unique position (独一无二的地位)。其实,我们要是继续往下读,The Darwinian revolution removed us from our position as a unique…一句中的unique一词也是一个很好的提示。所以,只有C项符合题意。
