问题     The great chariot of society, which for so long had run down the gentle slope of tradition, now found itself powered by an internal combustion engine. Transactions and gain 【51】 a new and startling 【52】 force.
    What forces could have been 【53】 powerful to smash a comfortable and 【54】 world and institute in its place this new society? There was no single massive 【55】 . It was not great events, single adventures, individual laws, or charming 【56】 which 【57】 about the economic revolution. It was a process of internal growth.
    First, there was the gradual emergence of national political 【58】in Europe. A second great current of change was to be found in the slow decay of the religious spirit under the 【59】 of the skeptical, inquiring, humanist views of the Italian Renaissance. Still another 【60】 current lies in the slow social changes that eventually rendered the market system possible.

选项 A、issues
B、events
C、situations
D、incidents
答案B
解析 “events事件；大事”。根据文章一致性的原则，该词与上文的“events”形成一种照应。最大的干扰项为D选项“incidents事件，事故，事变”，但该词常常指的是琐碎的、无足轻重的事，因此不符合题意，而A选项“issues争议，争论点”和C选项“situations形势，局面；环境”均不符合题意。
