问题     A day after the mobile phone celebrated its 40th birthday, Facebook has produced something that it hopes will make certain of the devices even more useful. On April 4th the giant social network【C1】______Home, new software that is designed to give it more prominence on mobile phones powered by Android, an operating system developed by Google.
    This matters because more and more folk are now accessing social networks from mobile devices rather than from desktop computers and because mobile advertising【C2】______are growing fast, albeit from a low base. Without a robust mobile【C3】______, Facebook could see some of its users siphoned off by rivals born in the mobile era. And it could miss out on a【C4】______massive source of new revenue.
    There had been【C5】______that Facebook was working on a phone of its own, or at least on a mobile operating system to rival Android or Apple’s iOS. But dabbling in hardware at this stage of its development would be a huge risk for Facebook and developing a rival operating system would risk【C6】______Apple and Google, whose mobile platforms have helped power its advertising growth. eMarketer, a research firm,【C7】______Facebook is on track to win 11% of the $ 13. 6 billion likely to be spent around the world on mobile ads this year.
    Home, which is a group of Facebook apps, avoids both pitfalls. Among other things, it【C8】______a phone’s home screen(and lock screen)to Facebook’s Newsfeed, allowing people to get updates on what their friends are doing without having to launch a【C9】______app each time they want news. A phone using Home will also notify you when your friends are doing something new, as well as alerting you to new data from other apps. Another feature is a tool called " Chat Heads" that【C10】______Facebook’s message system to a phone’s regular SMS message offering. This means messages pop up on the home screen along with the sender’s profile picture, which is enclosed in a small circle.
A)alienating I)potentially
B)assumption J)presence
C)attendance K)reckons
D)combines L)revenues
E)converts M)speculation
F)dedicated N)uncovered
G)deliberate O)unveiled
H)equivalently
【C7】
选项
答案K
解析 空格后为完整句子，前有单数名词E-Marketer，可知应填入第三人称单数动词作谓语。结合句意“E-Marketer，一个研究公司， 脸谱网正在赢得130．6亿全球广告业中的11％”可知，K)reckons“认为”与文意相符，故为答案。备选动词中还有combines“把……与……联系起来”和converts“改变”为第三人称单数，但均不符合文意，故排除。
