问题     Changes in the technology of communication are occurring so
rapidly that we human beings now move through a cloud of
messages as densely as a locust-storm. Every new device increases【M1】______
the speed and the outreach of the last, and young people are now
governed by the gadgets in their hands, which don’t merely contain
their lives and also to a great extent dictate them.【M2】______
    Of course, the print media still exist. There are old-fashioned
people like myself who make a living by writing things, and
old-fashioned people like you, who support us by reading, or at
any rate buy, what we write. But maybe it’s only people like us【M3】______
who are able really to regret for the changes that are sweeping【M4】______
away so much that we depended upon. The rest of the world is
caught up in the torrent of gadgets, each new model is designed to【M5】______
relieve its owner of one more source of spiritual exercise or one【M6】______
more obstacle to fun. Memory now exists behind a screen. Very
few is stored in our heads, and our recollections drift in cyberspace【M7】______
like asteroids, unconnected to the orbit in which we move.
    Written letters are a thing of past, and essays are downloaded【M8】______
from the sites devoted to them. Research means surfing the web,
and as for social life—this is a matter of tweeting and twittering as
one drifts through cyberspace. Facebook friendships bubble up in a
moment, and consist of a mutual agreement between strangers to【M9】______
put themselves on display. More and more does it seem that
putting yourself on display is what it is all about, which there is【M10】______
nothing more to love and friendship than being mutually visible.
【M3】
选项
答案buy—buying
解析 词汇错误。此处动词buy和前面的reading并列，与介词by连用作方式状语，而不是和support并列作谓语，故应改为动名词形式buying。
