选项
A、competitive
B、controversial
C、distracting
D、irrational
答案
B
解析
此题属于语意搭配题。选项B controversial表示“有争议的”。下文中提到了通讯革命带来的benefits(利)和“harmful”incomes(弊),可见对于它在经济、政治等方面所产生的结果,人们还是有争议的,因此B 是正确答案。选项A competitive表示“竞争的”,例如:a competitive society;选项C distracting表示“干扰的”,例如;the distracting noise;选项D irrational表示“非理性的”。
