Cloze Test 5

Until recently most historians spoke very critically of the Industrial Revolution. They   41    that in the long run industrialization greatly raised the standard of living for the   42    man. But they insisted that its   43    results during the period from 1750 to 1850 were widespread poverty and misery for the   44    of the English population.    45    contrast, they saw in the preceding hundred years from 1650 to1750, when England was still a   46    agricultural country, a period of great abundance and prosperity.

The view,   47   , is generally thought to be wrong. Specialists   48    history and economics, have   49    two things: that the period from 1650 to 1750 was   50    by great poverty, and that industrialization certainly did not worsen and may have actually improved the conditions for the majority of the populace.
