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 I) prosperity
B) displaced J) responsive
C) employed K) rhythm
D) eventually L) sentiments
E) impact M) shrunk
F) jobless N) swept
G) primarily O) withdrawn
H) productive [br] 【C8】
选项
答案
A
解析
该空格位于形容词性物主代词its之后,故应填入名词。根据句意可知,对工人来讲,技术的混乱效应比它带来的利益明显更快,由此可知答案为A)benefits“利益,好处”。备选项中,impact,rhythm,sentiments均与上下文语义不符,故均排除。
