选项 A、context
B、range
C、scope
D、territory

答案A

解析 语义搭配题。选项A)context意为“上下文”,也可译为“背景,环境”(situation)。原句又是一个强调句 型,所填空格的后面是一个定语从句,意为“我们所生活的……”,而与空格相对应的是information society(信息社会),可以判定空格的意思应与society相近,故A)是正确答案。选项B)range意为“(气温、价格等浮动的)幅度”;选项C)scope意为“(能力、理解等的)范围”;选项D)territory意为“领土”。本题说明考生不仅要注意单词的基本意思,还应加强对单词引申义的理解。
