Also, the Dutch, English, Spanish, and French were beginning to【C2】______global empires.【C3】______and trade produced a【C4】______merchant class that helped to【C5】______an increasing desire for such【C6】______as wine, coffee, tea, cocoa, and tobacco. These merchants set a【C7】______of life aspired to by the wider populace.【C8】______the beginning of the 18th century, capital resources and banking systems were well enough established in Great Britain to【C9】______investment in mass-production【C10】______that would satisfy some of these middle-class aspirations.
The Industrial Revolution【C11】______in England, because that nation had the technological means, government encouragement, and a large and varied trade【C12】______. The first factories【C13】______in 1740, concentrating on【C14】______production.

This use of punched cards inspired the British mathematician Charles Babbage to attempt to【C19】______a calculating machine based on the same principle. Although this machine never became fully practical, it【C20】______the great computer revolution of the 20th century."

选项
A、cultivate
B、consume
C、display
D、create
答案
D
解析
选项D表示“引起;产生”。根据原文意思:“……引起了不断增长的(对生活上的)需求……”,所以选择“create”。而选项A“cultivate耕作,栽培,养殖;培养,教养,磨炼”,选项B“consume是正式用词,主要表示‘消耗’消费品,有时表示‘消耗’能量等”,选项C“display陈列,展览,显示”均不符合原文意思。
