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
C) employed H) productive M) shrunk
D) eventually I) prosperity N) swept
E) impact J) responsive O) withdrawn [br] 【C10】
选项
答案
D
解析
副词辨析题。该空格位于转折连词but之后,现在分词sweeping之前,故应填入副词。根据句意可知,此处是指技术的影响力就像一阵旋风,先吹过富国,最终也会掠过较为贫穷的国家。填入的副词应显示出发展的先后顺序,由此可知答案为D)eventually“最后,终于”。
