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.
【C20】

选项 A、rise
B、make
C、ring
D、put

答案C

解析 本句意为“亚马逊可以借助Dash主动出击,______销售额”,结合文章大意和常识可推断是“提升”销售额,ring up为固定搭配,除了有“打电话”的意思外,还有“赚取,盈利”的意思。考生要注意对熟词僻义的积累。因此,选C.ring。rise up“起义,造反”,make up“构成;弥补;编造”,put up“建造,搭建,张贴”,均不符合题意。
