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 F) jobless K) rhythm
B) displaced G) primarily L) sentiments

E) impact J) responsive O) withdrawn [br] 【C5】
选项
答案
C
解析
动词辨析题。空格位于系动词was之后,介词短语on a farm之前,故应填入形容词或及物动词的过去分词构成被动语态。根据前文提到的“创新导致很多人失业”及上下文出现的jobs、work等词可判断此处句意为“一百年前,每三个美国人中就有一人被雇用在农场里干活”,结合各选项意思可知答案为C项employed“雇用”。
