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【C1】______a new and startling【C2】______force.
    What forces could have been【C3】______powerful to smash a comfortable and【C4】______world and institute in its place this new society? There was no single massive【C5】______. It was not great events, single adventures, individual laws, or charming【C6】______which【C7】______about the economic revolution. It was a process of internal growth.
    First, there was the gradual emergence of national political【C8】______in Europe. A second great current of change was to be found in the slow decay of the religious spirit under the【C9】______of the skeptical, inquiring, humanist views of the Italian Renaissance. Still another【C10】______current lies in the slow social changes that e-ventually rendered the market system possible. In the course of this change, power naturally began to gravitate into the hands of those who understood money matters — the merchants.
【C8】

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。
