lis, the widening urban-rural divide is___.
解析：
第一句：
the superficially equalizing promise（主语）that customers everywhere can enjoy unprecedented convenience with a mere click （同为语从句）has intensified the differences（谓语和宾语）in the choices available to the rich and the poor.（定语）
参考译文：
表面上对于平等的承诺，即世界各地的用户只要轻轻一点就可以享受前所未有的便利，其实强化了富人和穷人选择权上的差异。
第二句：
macgillis describeshow,while rich corporations and their top employees have settled in a small number of wealthy coastal cities（绿色为让步状语从句）,the rest of the american landscape has been deprived of opportunities.（蓝色为宾语从句）
参考译文：
麦克吉利斯写道，富有的企业及其高级员工定居在少数富裕的沿海城市，但美国的其他地区却成了机会的荒漠。
第三句：
（（portraying the phenomenon as a widening urban-rural divide （主语）is the simplistic version （系动词+表语）of a more subtle and bigger story,定语） ））macgillis emphasizes主谓 （前面是其宾语从句）
参考译文：
他强调，若将这一现象描述为不断扩大的城乡差距，是把一个更微妙、更宏大的叙事过分简单化了。
所以思考题：
according to macgillis, the widening urban-rural divide is___.
macgillis认为，不断扩大的城乡差距是_____a. not supported by facts（不由事实支持）b. not an all-sided account（不是全面的叙述）这个替换比较难，但是确实很重要！
the simplistic version把一个更微妙、更宏大的叙事简单化了。
大家要注意simplistic这个词的意思是这样的！
这是一个贬义词！
simplistic：
adj （把问题、局面等）过分简单化的所以b选项是正确选项！
c. not a complex problem（不是一个复杂的问题）c选项错误。
d. not clear in coastal cities（在沿海城市不明显）d选项错误
