问题     Changes in the technology of communication are occurring so
rapidly that we human beings now move through a cloud of
messages as densely as a locust-storm. Every new device increases【M1】______
the speed and the outreach of the last, and young people are now
governed by the gadgets in their hands, which don’t merely contain
their lives and also to a great extent dictate them.【M2】______
    Of course, the print media still exist. There are old-fashioned
people like myself who make a living by writing things, and
old-fashioned people like you, who support us by reading, or at
any rate buy, what we write. But maybe it’s only people like us【M3】______
who are able really to regret for the changes that are sweeping【M4】______
away so much that we depended upon. The rest of the world is
caught up in the torrent of gadgets, each new model is designed to【M5】______
relieve its owner of one more source of spiritual exercise or one【M6】______
more obstacle to fun. Memory now exists behind a screen. Very
few is stored in our heads, and our recollections drift in cyberspace【M7】______
like asteroids, unconnected to the orbit in which we move.
    Written letters are a thing of past, and essays are downloaded【M8】______
from the sites devoted to them. Research means surfing the web,
and as for social life—this is a matter of tweeting and twittering as
one drifts through cyberspace. Facebook friendships bubble up in a
moment, and consist of a mutual agreement between strangers to【M9】______
put themselves on display. More and more does it seem that
putting yourself on display is what it is all about, which there is【M10】______
nothing more to love and friendship than being mutually visible.
【M2】

答案and一but
解析 词汇错误。此句前面的merely相当于only．应该用not only．．．but also．．．结构连接两个谓语contain和dictate，表示“他们手中的通讯产品不仅包括了他们的生活而且还在很大程度上控制着他们。”
