问题     Amazon today unveiled Dash Buttons, an easy way for customers to【C1】______select bulk goods 【C2】______ an internet-connected button, and yesterday 【C3】______ Home Services, an on-demand installation and handyman service. Combined, they show that the e-commerce giant has a clear understanding of how the Internet-of-things will 【C4】______ its business. And it isn’ t going to be shy about capitalizing on connectivity to build its bottom line. Dash Buttons are an adaptation of Amazon’s 【C5】______ -controlled Dash ordering system that lets people speak to order new【C6】______items.
    So 【C7】______ Amazon has is a retrofit strategy for connecting smart appliances to its e-commerce operations and a future-facing strategy for the coming flood of 【C8】______ devices. And all of this is geared around making buying products from Amazon as easy as possible.
    The 【C9】______ of one-button tasks are appealing,【C10】______it could lead to a【C11】______of packages ending up at people’s doors if Amazon doesn’t try to【C12】______waste on its end, by grouping shipments together when possible. People on Twitter seem mostly【C13】______about pets and small children playing with the Dash Buttons and ordering multiples of their Kraft Macaroni and Cheese boxes, although Amazon notes that【C14】______the button is pressed more than once, the order doesn’t go【C15】______on the second time, and you’ll get a smartphone notification about it.
    Amazon also recently launched Home Services, following up on last year’s opening of a home automation e-store devoted to connected gadgets for the home—many of which require a【C16】______in staller. So now Amazon can sell these devices along with the person who can install them. It also is【C17】______on maintenance, via a network of service providers that it can call 【C18】______ for its network of suppliers or for its own planned connected home play.
    With Dash, it’s【C19】______an offensive play to【C20】______up more sales as devices come online. With Amazon Home Services, it’s making a defensive play as other large companies try to become more vertically integrated.
【C8】
选项 A、connected
B、personal
C、automatic
D、electronic
答案A
解析 此句主干为 7 Amazon has is a retrofit strategy for…and a future—facing strategy for…，7 Amazon has即指亚马逊发布新产品这件事情，后面两个strategy也是两个对称结构，第一个a retrofit strategy for connecting…to…其实已经暗示了答案。亚马逊发布新产品就是为了应对未来大量联网设备上市的浪潮，而且文中多次出现connect，如第一段internet-connected button，capitalizing on connectivity等，因此正确答案就是A．connected“连接的”，文中意为“联网的”。personal“个人的”，automatic“自动的”，electronic“电子的”，均与题意不符。
