However, can you imagine such a world where there is no【21】______of electric light? As darkness falls over, children read in the light given by oil lamps and candles. Youths【22】______time only by talking instead of watching TV. Everything is surrounded by【23】______shadows.【24】______, we have a man named Edison. He created bulb that【25】______for two days before burning out. He also developed successfully a system for【26】______electricity from a central power house.

Development of electricity leads to the【29】______creations of new products and materials. In the past century and a half, electricity has steadily【30】______.

Simple tasks, such as setting alarm clock to wake up at a【32】______time or enjoying a piece of music, are accomplished via electronic means.

How do you cook a meal without electricity if your gas stove has an electric ignition? Please imagine the life without electricity further. What do you do with a freezer full of food in a hot day? How do you find out what is happening in your area with the TV and radio off? These are questions which should be seriously considered. Let us imagine the【36】______of a short power outage together. Factories close down; phones and computers go dead; food【37】______in refrigerators. What a disordered life that would be!
All the convenience which electricity has brought to our life should owe to Edison. When Edison died at his home in New Jersey in 1931, the whole United States were switched off to mark his passing, and in【38】______of the man whose discoveries had so changed and improved the life of people everywhere. For a moment, all was【39】______as the world had always been before, until Edison【40】______on the light.

选项
A、diffusing
B、transmitting
C、transiting
D、delivering
答案
B
解析
A项意为“(使)扩散,(使)弥漫,(使)传播”,如:A drop of milk is diffusing in the water.B项意为“传导,传播”如:Glass could transmit light.从后文powerhouse可以看出,此处表示从中央发电站传导电,B项符合文意。c项意为“搬运;载运”如:His luggage was lost during transiting.D项意为“交付,送”如:He delivered the goods to them.这两项均不符合文意。故正确答
