As the world excitedly greeted Snuppy, the first cloned(克隆)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 years, 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.
"Yes, we are dazzled by mobile phones, cameras, digital TV, and the www, by laser-guided surgery and bombs, by DNA fingerprinting, and now by cloning. These are not【S7】______things but do they change the way we think in important--in fundamental--directions?"
Watson quotes Richard Southern, Oxford University historian, who died last year: "Southern thought the most interesting times in history were 1050-1250 and 1750-1950."
"Each of these periods transformed our’ understanding of ourselves【S8】______".
"But what great ideas or transformations have been【S9】______in the half-century since 19507" Watson asked, pointing out that except for a few innovations such as the Internet, most scientific research【S10】______modifies previous studies.
A)rarely I)radically
B)introduced J)struck
C)merely K)disappeared
D)intimate L)small
E)distributed M)interesting
F)important N)advertising
G)advances O)pessimistic
H)statistics
【S10】
选项
答案
C
解析
此处需要一个副词作状语。上文已经提到当今的世界没有过去的世界有趣和有创新性,因此可知大部分科学研究都没什么创新,所以答案为merely。merely modifies previous studies意为“仅仅修改了以前的研究”。
