    Millions of people now rent their movies the Netflix way. They fill out a wish list from the 50,009 titles on the company’s web site and receive the first few DVD’s in the mail: when they mail each one back, the next one on the list is sent. The Netflix model has been exhaustively analyzed for its disruptive, new-economy【C1】______. What will it mean for video stores like Blockbuster? What will it mean for movie studios and theaters? What does it show about "long tail" businesses—ones that combine many markets into a【C2】______ target audience? But one other major implication has【C3】______ been mentioned: what this and similar Internet-based businesses mean for the United States Postal Service.
    Every day, some two million Netflix envelopes come and go as firstclass mail. They are joined by millions of other shipments from【C4】______ pharmacies, eBay vendors, Amazon.com and other businesses that did not exist before the Internet.
    The【C5】______ of "snail mail" in the age of electronic communication has been predicted at least as often as the coming of the paperless office. But the consumption of paper keeps【C6】______. It has roughly doubled since 1980. On average, an American household receives twice as many pieces of mail a day as it did in the 1970’s.
    The harmful side of the Internet’s impact is obvious but statistically less important than many would guess. People【C7】______ write fewer letters when they can send e-mail messages. To【C8】______ through a box of old paper correspondence is to know what has been【C9】______ in this shift: the pretty stamps, the varying look and feel of handwritten and typed correspondence, the tangible【C10】______ that was once in the sender’s hands.
【C5】
选项
答案C
解析 空格前有定冠词The，而空格后为介词短语of“snail mail”，因此空格处需填入名词。根据常识，在电子通讯时代，讲究的是“速度快”，因此人们预测速度慢的“蜗牛邮件”会消失才是符合常理的，词库名词中的demise“死亡”与此相符，故选C。“蜗牛邮件”过去就有，它的出现并不需要predicted“预测”，因此排除emergence“出现”。
