Technologies collapse the distance between a desire and its
fulfillment by reducing either the time or the effort involved. This
has long been the point on that new technologies have been【S1】_________________
marketing, and digital technologies have only augmented a longstanding【S2】_________________
trend. But they have done so to such a degree and the change may be【S3】_________________
qualitative. Consider the ease on which we may now locate, purchase,【S4】_________________
and receive commodities that just a few years ago would have taken us
considerably less time and trouble to acquire. The content of a book is【S5】_________________
only one of a multitude of possible examples, but it illustrates the point
remarkably well. Theoretical science in his view required aristocratic
repose and leisure, and anything of the sort existed in America. Instead,【S6】_________________
Americans were promiscuously active. All of this is marvelous and fascinating and
helpful, but cranks, and I’m not always above being a
crank, might point out that making something effortless and instant
simultaneously renders it ephemeral and trivial. If you eliminate the
effort and time involved realizing a desire, you also diminish the【S7】_________________
satisfaction and joy that attends the fulfillment. Beyond this, however,
there is also a matter of habits and assumptions and how these in turn【S8】_________________
shape individuals who together comprise of the political and economic【S9】_________________
culture of the nation. What sorts of habits, then, are inculcated by a
technological environment ordered around this general tendency?
Certainly not the kind of habits that sit well with the venerable
notion of delaying gratification. Nor, it would seem, would these habits【S10】________________
leave one well suited for the demands of citizenship. [br] 【S8】

答案
a—the
解析
冠词误用。该句中matter后面接有of构成的介词短语作定语,表示特指,故将a改为the。
