问题     What will be the impact of a global computer network on cultural
forms? The construction of exclusive information societies has restarted【M1】______
the debate about cultural diversity by renewing the common perception
and evolution of this elusive term We shall focus on the meaning of
the two words "diversity" and "culture". Diversity is often perceived as
disparity, variation, singularity, that is, the opposite of uniformity and【M2】______
homogeneity. In its first and literal sense, cultural diversity then refers
quite simply the multiplicity of cultures or cultural identities. This【M3】______
vision has now been replaced, though As for many experts "diversity"
is not so much defined in opposite to "homogeneity". It is synonymous【M4】______
with dialogue and sharing values. In fact, the concept of cultural【M5】______
diversity, like that of biodiversity, goes on further, because it considers【M6】______
the multiplicity of cultures in a systemic perspective when each culture【M7】______
develops and evolves through contact with other cultures. As to culture,
it draws its origins from the Latin word "cultura", that indicated the【M8】______
cultivation of fields and cattle. In the sixteenth century it acquires the
meaning of the action of cultivating, or formation, which is at the【M9】______
source of the sense it is given today. So, culture has then come to mean
that whole complexity of meanings, values and beliefs that determine【M10】______
how we do things and how we structure our ways of thinking.
【M2】
选项
答案singularity→plurality
解析 语篇错误。此句中diversity，disparity，variation为同义词，均表示“多元性，多样性，差异性”之义。所以singularity应改为其反义词plurality，这样才不致于与前文矛盾。
