A land free from destruction, plus wealth, natural resources, and labor supply— all these were important factors in helping England to become the center for the Industrial Revolution.【C1】______ they were not enough. Something else was needed to start the industrial process. That "something special" was men—【C2】______ individuals who could invent machines, find new sources of power, and establish business organizations to reshape society.
The men who【C3】______ the machines of the Industrial Revolution come from many backgrounds and many occupations. Many of them were more inventors than scientists. A man who is a【C4】______ scientist is primarily interested in doing his research【C5】______ He is not necessarily working so that his findings can be used.
An inventor or one interested in applied science is usually trying to make something that has a concrete【C6】______ He may try to solve a problem by using the theories of science or by experimenting through trial and error. Regardless of his method, he is working to obtain a【C7】______ result: the construction of a harvesting machine, the burning of a light bulb, or one of many other objectives.
Most of the people who【C8】______ the machines of the Industrial Revolution were inventors, not trained scientists. A few were both scientists and inventors. Even those who had【C9】______ or no training in science might not have made their inventions【C10】______ a groundwork had not been laid by scientists years before.
【C2】
选项
A、generating
B、effective
C、motivating
D、creative
答案
D
解析
本题测试的是根据上下文选择词义的能力。从本句下半句中的“发明机器、发现新能源、建立商业机构"等描述可以判断这类人应该是“有创造性的",因而答案是D项creative。B项effective的意思是“有效的",effective通常只强调事物的效果,并不涉及它是否有创造性,较少用来修饰人。形容某人“工作效率高”或“工作卓有成效”常用efficient。C项motivating的意思是“使产生动力的”,是主动意义,但表示某人做事有动力,通常只能用动词motivate的过去分词motivated,因而motivating在本句中不能用。A项generating的意思是“使产生”,也是主动意义,如generating interest(使产生兴趣),generating electricity(发电)等,在本句中明显不合适。
