Before this time, scribal monks hand-copied sacred texts
for centuries. But for the secular world began to develop and             【B1】 ______
distribute new forms of sacred texts, the scribes could not keep up
the demand. Johannes Gutenberg, a goldsmith and businessman                【B2】 ______
from southern Germany, foresees the profit-making potential for a          【B3】 ______
printing press that used movable metal type, and borrowed money

developed his press by combing features of existed technologies:          【B5】 ______
textile, papermaking and wine presses.
Perhaps his most significant innovation, therefore, was the             【B6】 ______
efficient molding and casting of movable metal type. Gutenberg
designed a Latin print Bible which became his most famous
work. Despite of the dramatic success of his printing press,                【B7】 ______
Gutenberg managed to default on a loan and lost his whole printing
establishment. His techniques were made publicly and his creditor          【B8】 ______
won the rights to the proceeds from the Gutenberg Bibles.
In 1476, William Caxton set up England’s first printing
press. Caxton had been a prolific translator and found the printing
press to be a marvelousway to expand his mission of promoting
unpopular literature, the innovation of the printing press                【B9】 ______
ultimately influenced art, literature, philosophy and politics. Today,
print is thought of as one of the markers of key historical shifts in
communication, creating a social and intellectual transform.                【B10】 ______

选项

答案 for→as/because

解析 but for意为“倘使，假如”，用在此处显然文意不通，从上下文判断，此处应为表示原因的连词，but为转折，句意为：“但是由于世俗世界中开始出现和散布新形式的圣书，手抄本已跟不上需求”。for引导原因从句时，是不可以放在句首的，故将for改为as或是because。
