Innovation, the effective recipe of progress, has always cost people their jobs. Over the past 30 years the digital revolution has【C1】______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【C2】______with.
For those who believe that technological progress has made the world a better place, such change is a natural part of rising【C3】______. Although innovation kills some jobs, it creates new and better ones, as a more productive society becomes richer and its wealthier inhabitants【C4】______more goods and services. A hundred years ago one in three American workers was employed on a farm. Today less than 2% of them produce far more food. The millions freed from the land were not delivered to joblessness, but found better-paid work as the economy grew more【C5】______. Today the pool of secretaries has【C6】______, but there are ever more computer programmers and web designers.
Optimism remains the right starting-point, but for workers the dislocating(扰乱的)effects of technology may make themselves evident faster than its benefit. Even if new jobs and【C7】______products emerge, in the short term income gaps will widen, causing huge social dislocation and perhaps even changing politics. Technology’s impact will feel like a tornado, hitting the rich world first, but【C8】______sweeping through poorer countries too. Worse, it seems likely that this wave of technological【C9】______to the job market has only just started. From driverless cars to clever household devices, innovations that already exist could destroy jobs that have【C10】______been untouched.
A)prosperity B)dispensed C)inquire D)wonderful
E)partition F)eventually G)sophisticated H)displaced
I)conversely J)shrunk K)fragile L)disruption
M)demand N)complicated O)hitherto [br] 【C7】
选项
答案
D
解析
此处应填人修饰products的词,可以是形容词、分词或名词。根据并列的new jobs(新工作),可知该词应与new一样表积极意义,故wonderful“极好的”符合语境,句子表示“即使出现了新的就业机会和优秀的产品,收入差距在短期内还是会拉大”。而sophisticated意为“精密的,复杂的”和complicated“复杂的”虽然也能形容products,但even if从句旨在说明科技带来的好处(benefit),wonderful与benefit的语义更相关。
