While western governments worry over the threat of Ebola, a more pervasive but far less harmful 【C1】______ is spreading through their populations like a winter sniffle: mobile personal technology.
The similarity between disease organisms and personal devices is 【C2】______. Viruses and other parasites control larger organisms, 【C3】______ resources in order to multiply and spread. Smartphones and other gadgets do the same thing, 【C4】______ever-increasing amounts of human attention and electricity supplied 【C5】______ wire umbilici.
It is tempting to【C6】______a "strategy" to both phages and phablets, neither of which is sentient.【C7】______, the process is evolutionary, consisting of many random evolutions, 【C8】______ experimented with by many product designers. This makes it all the more powerful.
Tech【C9】______occurs through actively-learnt responses, or "operant conditioning" as animal behaviourists call it. The scientific parallel here also involves a rodent, typically a rat, which occupies a【C10】______cage called a Skinner Box. The animal is【C11】______with a food pellet for solving puzzles and punished with an electric shock when it fails.
"Are we getting a positive boost of hormones when we【C12】______look at our phone, seeking rewards?" asks David Shuker, an animal behaviourist at St Andrews university, sounding a little like a man withholding serious scientific endorsement【C13】______an idea that a journalist had in the shower. Research is needed, he says. Tech tycoons would meanwhile【C14】______that the popularity of mobile devices is attributed to the brilliance of their designs. This is precisely what people whose thought processes have been【C15】______by an invasive pseudo-organism would believe.
【C16】______, mobile technology causes symptoms less severe than physiological diseases. There are even benefits to【C17】______sufferers for shortened attention spans and the caffeine overload triggered by visits to Starbucks for the free Wi-Fi. Most importantly, you can 【C18】______ the Financial Times in places as remote as Alaska or Sidcup. In this【C19】______, a mobile device is closer to a symbiotic organism than a parasite. This would make it【C20】______to an intestinal bacterium that helps a person to stay alive, rather than a virus that may kill you.
【C7】
选项
A、Instead
B、Moreover
C、Therefore
D、Otherwise
答案
A
解析
根据上文可知,人们很容易认为噬菌体和手机平板都存在什么“战略”,尽管这两者都没有感觉。空格后讲述的内容则与上文不一致,暗含转折意味。故A.Instead“相反地”符合题意,为正确答案。Moreover“再者,此外”,表示递进;Therefore“因此,所以”,表示因果;Otherwise“否则,另外”,均不符合题意,故排除。
