In the nineteenth century the(i)______advanced mechanical printing techniques made it possible for newspaper owners to print newspapers cheaply and in mass quantities, but unlike many other mechanized industries, where machines(ii)______workers, the new printing machines required trained compositors to run them, thereby(iii)______the demand for skilled printing labor.
选项
答案
A,D,I
解析
The author states that in the nineteenth century great quantities of newspapers could be printed cheaply, and Blank(i)calls for something related to advanced mechanical printing techniques that allowed this to happen. Of the choices, "great expense of" contradicts the assertion that newspaper printing became cheap, while "extensive resistance to" advanced technology would likely result in no notable changes in the industry. Thus "wide application of" is the correct answer. Blank(iii)must describe the effect of new printing machines on the skilled labor market. Since the author states that these machines required trained workers, jobs would have been created that did not previously exist. Thus the correct answer is "increasing." As for the other choices, there is no evidence that the demand for skilled printing labor was ignored and no mention of future demand for skilled labor that might have been anticipated. Blank(ii)requires a word that characterizes the effect of machines on workers in other mechanized industries, which the author contrasts to the newspaper industry’s need for trained operators. The implication is that the mechanization of other industries did not require trained workers but rather that machines simply replaced human labor. This suggests that the answer to Blank(ii)is "marginalized." Since the passage contains no references to workers’ interest in the machines or to their working conditions, neither "intrigued" nor "isolated" makes sense.
Thus the correct answer is wide application of(Choice A), marginalized(Choice D), and increasing(Choice I).
