A land free from destruction, plus wealth, natural resources, and labor supply— all these were important factors in helping England to become the center for the Industrial Revolution.【C1】______ they were not enough. Something else was needed to start the industrial process. That "something special" was men—【C2】______ individuals who could invent machines, find new sources of power, and establish business organizations to reshape society.
The men who【C3】______ the machines of the Industrial Revolution come from many backgrounds and many occupations. Many of them were more inventors than scientists. A man who is a【C4】______ scientist is primarily interested in doing his research【C5】______ He is not necessarily working so that his findings can be used.
An inventor or one interested in applied science is usually trying to make something that has a concrete【C6】______ He may try to solve a problem by using the theories of science or by experimenting through trial and error. Regardless of his method, he is working to obtain a【C7】______ result: the construction of a harvesting machine, the burning of a light bulb, or one of many other objectives.
Most of the people who【C8】______ the machines of the Industrial Revolution were inventors, not trained scientists. A few were both scientists and inventors. Even those who had【C9】______ or no training in science might not have made their inventions【C10】______ a groundwork had not been laid by scientists years before.
【C3】
选项
A、employed
B、created
C、operated
D、controlled
答案
B
解析
本题测试的是根据上下文选择词义的能力。文章第1段中谈的是有创造性的人在工业革命中的作用,下文又多次提到了发明家(inventor),所以本题答案理所当然地应是B项created。 C项operated强调的是“操作”,D项controlled强调的是“控制”,就其所在句子的局部搭配而言,并无不可,但放在这里的上下文中意思就不妥了。A项employed与事物连用时,可以表示“使用"的意思;employ与人连用时,常表示“雇用"的意思,但用在这里均不合适。
