问题     The great chariot of society, which for so long had run down the gentle slope of tradition, now found itself powered by an internal combustion engine. Transactions and gain 【51】 a new and startling 【52】 force.
    What forces could have been 【53】 powerful to smash a comfortable and 【54】 world and institute in its place this new society? There was no single massive 【55】 . It was not great events, single adventures, individual laws, or charming 【56】 which 【57】 about the economic revolution. It was a process of internal growth.
    First, there was the gradual emergence of national political 【58】in Europe.

选项 A、complained
B、speculated
C、argued
D、brought
答案D
解析 brought，本题考查词组搭配和词义辨析。“bring about导致，引起；使发生，带来……的结果”。根据文章的意思：“不是大事件，一个个的冒险，个别的法规或者极有魅力的人物导致了经济改革”，因此此处bring为正确选项。而A选项“complained抱怨，发牢骚，诉苦”，B选项“speculated推测，猜测，推断”和C选项“argued争论，争辩”，虽都可以和about构成搭配，但是意思不合题意。
