As the world excitedly greeted Snuppy, the first cloned dog, commentators celebrated our cleverness. Many feel proud that our age is marked by technological【S1】______. But an article in British newspaper The Observer recently said true innovation has【S2】______from our society.
The writer was Peter Watson, author of the book Ideas — A History from Fire to Freud. Watson began: "The year 2005 can’t begin to compete with 1905 in terms of【S3】______innovations."
"Writing a history of ideas over the past three ears, I have been【S4】______time and again by the fact that, contrary to what we tell ourselves all the time-on TV, in newspapers and magazines, in【S5】______and in government propaganda — our present world is nowhere near as【S6】______and innovative as it thinks it is, certainly in comparison with past ages."

A)rarely B)introduced C)merely D)intimate E)distributed

K)disappeared L)small M)interesting N)advertising O)pessimistic
【S4】
选项
答案
J
解析
此处需要一个动词的过去分词表被动语态。disappear首先可以排除。剩下的只有struck可以用于“the fact has struck me”或“I have been struck by the fact”,意为“事实多次给我留下深刻的印象”。从上下文的逻辑性看,struck也比较合适。本句意为:过去三年在写重大革新史的过程中,一个事实多次给我留下深刻的印象……
