   To some thinkers, it is machines and their development that drive economic and cultural change. This idea is referred to as technological determinism. Certainly there can be no doubt that machines contributed to the Protestant Reformation and the decline of the Catholic Church’s power in Europe or【C1】______ television has changed the way family members interact. Those who believe in technological determinism would argue that these changes in the cultural landscape were the 【C2】______result of new technology.
   But others see technology as more neutral and claim that the way people use technology is what gives it significance. This 【C3】______ accepts technology as one of many factors that shape economic and cultural change: technology’s influence is 【C4】______ determined by how much power it is given by the people and cultures that use it.
   This 【C5】______about the power of technology is at the heart of the controversy surrounding the new communication technologies. Are we more or less powerless in the 【C6】______of advances such as the Internet, the World Wide Web, and instant global audio and visual communication? If we are at the mercy of technology, the culture that surrounds us will not be of our 【C7】______, and the best we can hope to do is make our way reasonably well in a world outside our own control. But if these technologies are indeed neutral and their power 【C8】______in how we choose to use them, we can utilize them responsibly and 【C9】______to construct and maintain whatever kind of culture we want. As film director and technophile Steve Spielberg explained, "Technology can be our best friend, and technology can also be the biggest party pooper of our lives. It interrupts our own story, interrupts our ability to have a thought or 【C10】______, to imagine something wonderful. "
【C2】
选项
答案E
解析 形容词辨析题。分析句子结构可知，空格前是定冠词the，空格后是名词result，因此，空格处需要填入形容词对名词进行修饰。根据上下文语义，那些相信技术决定论的人可能提出理由说文化领域的改变是新技术的必然结果，inevitable符合语义要求，故E项为答案。形容词inseparable意为“不可分离的，分不开的”，虽然意思相近，但该词通常不用来形容具有因果关系的两个事物，故排除。
