Technologies collapse the distance between a desire and its
fulfillment by reducing either the time or the effort involved. This
has long been the point on that new technologies have been【S1】______
marketing, and digital technologies have only augmented a【S2】______
longstanding trend. But they have done so to such a degree and the【S3】______
change may be qualitative. Consider the ease on which we may now【S4】______
locate, purchase, and receive commodities that just a few years ago
would have taken us considerably less time and trouble to acquire.【S5】______
The content of a book is only one of a multitude of possible
examples, but it illustrates the point remarkably well. Theoretical
science in his view required aristocratic repose and leisure, and
anything of the sort existed in America. Instead, Americans were【S6】______
promiscuously active. All of this is marvelous and fascinating and
helpful, but cranks, and I’m not always above being a crank, might
point out that making something effortless and instant simultaneously
renders it ephemeral and trivial. If you eliminate the effort and time
involved realizing a desire, you also diminish the satisfaction and joy【S7】______
that attends the fulfillment. Beyond this, however, there is also a【S8】______
matter of habits and assumptions and how these in turn shape
individuals who together comprise of the political and economic【S9】______
culture of the nation. What sorts of habits, then, are inculcated by
a technological environment ordered around this general tendency?
Certainly not the kind of habits that sit well with the venerable
notion of delaying gratification. Nor, it would seem, would these【S10】______
habits leave one well suited for the demands of citizenship.
【S6】
选项
答案
anything—nothing
解析
代词误用。根据后文的instead可知,此处表达的意思是否定的,应该是“这在美国是不复存在的”,故应将anything改为nothing。
