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.

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.
【C7】

选项 A、complained
B、speculated
C、argued
D、brought

答案D

解析 brought,本题考查词组搭配和词义辨析。“bring about导致,引起;使发生,带来……的结果”。根据文章的意思:“不是大事件,一个个的冒险,个别的法规或者极有魅力的人物导致了经济改革”。因此此处bring为正确选项。而A选项“complained抱怨,发牢骚,诉苦”,B选项“speculated推测。猜测,推断”和C选项“argued争论,争辩”,虽都可以和about构成搭配,但是意思不合题意。
