Innovation, the elixir (灵丹妙药) of progress, has always cost people their jobs. In the Industrial Revolution hand weavers were【C1】________aside by the mechanical loom. Over the past 30 years the digital revolution has【C2】________many of the mid-skill jobs that supported 20th-century middle-class life. Typists, ticket agents, bank tellers and many production-line jobs have been dispensed with, just as the weavers were.
For those who believe that technological progress has made the world a better place, such disruption is a natural part of rising【C3】________Although innovation kills some jobs, it creates new and better ones, as a more【C4】________society becomes richer and its wealthier inhabitants demand more goods and services.

The millions freed from the land were not rendered【C6】________, but found better-paid work as the economy grew more sophisticated. Today the pool of secretaries has【C7】________, but there are ever more computer programmers and web designers.

Even if new jobs and wonderful products emerge, in the short term income gaps will widen, causing huge social dislocation and perhaps even changing politics.

A) benefits F) jobless K) rhythm
B) displaced G) primarily L) sentiments
C) employed H) productive M) shrunk
D) eventually I) prosperity N) swept
E) impact J) responsive O) withdrawn
【C8】
选项
答案
A
解析
名词辨析题。空格位于形容词性物主代词its之后,故应填入名词。根据句意可知,对工人来讲,技术的破坏性效果比其益处会更快地显现出来,因此答案为A项benefits“利益,好处”。
