问题     Until recently most historians spoke very critically of the Industrial Revolution. They 【B1】 that in the long run industrialization greatly raised the standard of living for the 【B2】 man. But they insisted that its 【B3】 results during the period from 1750 to 1850 were widespread poverty and misery for the 【B4】 of the English population. 【B5】 contrast, they saw in the preceding hundred years from 1650 to 1750, when England was still a 【B6】 agricultural country, a period of great abundance and prosperity.
    This view, 【B7】 is generally thought to be wrong. Specialists 【B8】 history and economics, have 【B9】 two things: that the period from 1650 to 1750 was 【B10】 by great poverty, and that industrialization certainly did not worsen and may have actually improved the conditions for the majority of the populace.
选项 A、admitted
B、believed
C、claimed
D、predicted
答案A
解析 本题测试语篇中的语义搭配。admit意为"承认…"；claim意为"声称，说某事是事实"；believe意为"相信，认为"；predict意为"预言，预测，预示"。文章起始句指出，直到最近许多历史学家对工业革命持强烈的批评态度。而文章的第二句与第三句的逻辑关系是，第二句含有让步意义，故admitted为正确答案。
