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.

A) benefits F) jobless K) rhythm
B) displaced G) primarily L) sentiments

【C6】
选项
答案
F

形容词辨析题。空格位于动词rendered之后,render后面一般跟形容词,表达 “使成为……,使变得……”的含义。根据句意可知,离开了土地并没有使农业工人失业,因此答案为F项jobless“失业的”。
