   To some thinkers, it is machines and their development that drive economic and cultural change. This idea is referred to as technological determinism. 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 I
解析 名词辨析题。分析句子结构可知，空格所在位置是句子的主语部分，空格前为指示代词this，空格后即为谓语动词accepts，因此，空格处应填入名词。第一段提到有一种观点认为科技必然带来文化变革，本段第一句转而提出了另外一种观点，即科技本身是中立的，人们使用科技的方式才使科技有意义。空格所在句是对本段第一句的进一步阐释，因此，主语用“这一观点”来代指本段第一句，故I项perspective为答案。
