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? If we are at the mercy of technology, the culture that surrounds us will not be of our 【C7】______, and the best we can hope to do is make our way reasonably well in a world outside our own control. But if these technologies are indeed neutral and their power 【C8】______in how we choose to use them, we can utilize them responsibly and 【C9】______to construct and maintain whatever kind of culture we want. As film director and technophile Steve Spielberg explained, "Technology can be our best friend, and technology can also be the biggest party pooper of our lives. It interrupts our own story, interrupts our ability to have a thought or 【C10】______, to imagine something wonderful. " [br] 【C8】

答案
J
解析
动词辨析题。分析句子结构可知,空格位于一个由if连接的条件状语从句中,该从句又包含由and连接的两个并列句,一个是these technologies are indeed neutral,另一个即为空格所在句“their power______in how we choose to use them”,因此,空格处需要填入一个动词的第三人称单数形式,且该动词能与介词in搭配使用,构成句子谓语。本句与上文technology’s influence is ultimately determined by how much power it is given by the people and cultures that use it呼应,表达的是同一意思,即“科技是中立的,人们使用科技的方式决定了它的威力”。换句话说,科技的威力取决于人们的使用方式。短语reside in意为“存在于”,符合句意,故J项resides为答案。
