What will future historians remember about the impact of science【C1】______ the last decade of the 20th century?
They will not be much【C2】______ with many of the marvels that currently preoccupy us,【C3】______ the miraculous increase in the power of home computers and the unexpected growth of the Internet.【C4】______ will they dwell much【C5】______ global warming, the loss of biodiversity and other examples of our penchant for【C6】______ . Instead, the end of the 20th century will be【C7】______ as the time when, for better or worse, science began to bring【C8】______ a fundamental shift in our【C9】______ of ourselves.
It will be the【C10】______ time that science has forced us to re-evaluate【C11】______ we are. The first time, of course, was the revolution that【C12】______ Copernicus in 1543 and continued with Kepler, Galileo and Newton.【C13】______ the Church’s opposition, we came to realize that the Earth does not【C14】______ at the center of the universe.【C15】______ we gradually found we live on a small planet on the edge of a minor galaxy,【C16】______ one star in a universe that contains billions of others. Our【C17】______ position in the universe was gone forever.
A few centuries later we were removed even【C18】______ from stage center. The Darwinian revolution removed us from our position as a unique【C19】______ of God. Instead we discovered we were just another part of the animal kingdom proud to have "a miserable ape for a grandfather" as Thomas Huxley【C20】______ in 1860. We know now just how close to the apes we are-over 90% of our genes are the same of those of the chimpanzee.
【C12】
选项
A、began with
B、started by
C、initiated with
D、followed by
答案
A
解析
此题考查动词短语的用法。这四个选项中只有A项began with正确。首先,如果用B项start by,一定要用被动结构。C项initiate也是一样,而且其后也要用by。D项follow用在这里含义不清,因为这里的革命指的是Copernicus在1543开创的革命,并非Copernicus继承的革命。
