Certainly there can be no doubt that machines contributed to the Protestant Reformation and the decline of the Catholic Church’s power in Europe or【C1】______ television has changed the way family members interact. Those who believe in technological determinism would argue that these changes in the cultural landscape were the 【C2】______result of new technology.
   But others see technology as more neutral and claim that the way people use technology is what gives it significance. This 【C3】______ accepts technology as one of many factors that shape economic and cultural change: technology’s influence is 【C4】______ determined by how much power it is given by the people and cultures that use it.
   This 【C5】______about the power of technology is at the heart of the controversy surrounding the new communication technologies. Are we more or less powerless in the 【C6】______of advances such as the Internet, the World Wide Web, and instant global audio and visual communication?

选项
答案 K
解析 连词辨析题。分析句子结构可知，空格前是连词or，在or之前有一个由that引导的名词性从句，且空格后的句子成分完整，因此，空格处也应填入一个能够引导名词性从句的词。or前后的句子是并列关系，与前一句的that呼应，空格处也应填入that，故K项that为答案。此处意为“电视已经改变了家庭成员之间的沟通方式”。
