问题     The interloper who seized our telephone line continued to hit us
again and again for the next six months. The phone company
seemed powerful. Its security folks moved us to one unlisted number【S1】______
after another half a dozen times. They put special pin codes in
place. They put traces on the line. And the troublemaker kept【S2】______
breaking through.
    If our hacker has been truly evil and omnipotent as only【S3】______
fictional movie hackers are, there would probably have been even
worse ways he could have threatened my privacy. He could have
destroyed my credit rate. He could have eavesdropped on my【S4】______
telephone conversations or siphoned off my e-mail. He could have
called in my mortgage, discontinued my health assurance or deleted【S5】______
my Social Security number.
    Still, I remember feeling violating at the time and as powerless【S6】______
as a minnow in a flash flood. Someone was invading my private
space—my family’s private space—and there was anything I or the【S7】______
authorities could do. It was as close to a technological epiphany(主
显节)as I have ever been. And as I watched my personal digital
hell unfold, which struck me that our privacy—mine and yours—【S8】______
has already disappeared bit by bit.
    Losing control of your telephone, of course, is least of it. After【S9】______
all, most of us voluntarily give out our phone number and address
when we allow ourselves to be listed in the White Pages. We make
it public our interests and our purchasing habits every time we shop【S10】______
by mail order or visit a commercial website.
【S1】
选项
答案powerful—powerless
解析 语义错误。根据下文可知，电话公司对遭到黑客袭击的用户采取了多种保护措施，结果黑客却总是能攻克防卫。因此电话公司在这件事上应该是“无能为力的，无可奈何的”，故将powerful改为powerless。
