As the world excitedly greeted Snuppy, the first cloned (克隆)dog, commentators celebrated our cleverness. Many feel proud that our age is marked by technological【S1】______.
But an article in British newspaper The observer recently said true innovation has【S2】______from our society.
The writer was Peter Watson, author of the book" Ideas--A History from Fire to Freud". Watson began: "The year 2005 can’t begin to compete with 1905 in terms of【S3】______innovations."
"Writing a history of ideas over the past three years, I have been【S4】______time and again by the fact that, contrary to what we tell ourselves all the time--on TV, in newspapers and magazines, in【S5】______and in government propaganda--our present world is nowhere near as【S6】______and innovative as it thinks it is, certainly in comparison with past ages."
"Yes, we are dazzled by mobile phones, cameras, digital TV, and the WWW, by laser-guided surgery and bombs, by DNA fingerprinting, and now by cloning. These are not【S7】______things but do they change the way we think in important--in fundamental--directions ?"
Watson quotes Richard Southern, Oxford University historian, who died last year: "Southern thought the most interesting times in history were 1050-1250 and 1750-1950."
"Each of these periods transformed our understanding of ourselves【S8】______".
"But what great ideas or transformations have been【S9】______in the half-century since 19507" Watson asked, pointing out that except for a few innovations such as the Internet, most scientific research【S10】______modifies previous studies.
A) merely B) introduced C) rarely D) intimate
E) distributed F) important G) advances H) statistics
I) radically J) struck K) disappeared L) small
M) interesting N) advertising O) pessimistic
【S7】
选项
答案
L
解析
此处需要形容词做定语修饰things。根据but后的问句推断things是important的。句中用了not,所以答案应为small。
