They were the Macbeths of information technology: a wicked couple who seized power and abused it in bloody and greedy ways. But in recent years, the story has【C1】______Bill Gates, Microsoft’s founder, has retired to give away his billions. The "Wintel" couple(short for "Windows" and "Intel")are【C2】______seen as yesterday’s, tyrants. Rumors【C3】______that a coup is brewing to oust Steve Ballmer, Microsoft’s current boss.
Yet there is life in the old technologists. They still control the two most important standards in【C4】______: Windows, the operating system for most personal computers, and "Intel Architecture," the set of rules governing how software【C5】______with the processor it runs on. More than 80 % of PCs still run on the "Wintel" standard. Accordingly,【C6】______for Windows and PC chips, which flagged during the global recession, has【C7】______So have both firms’ results: to many people’s surprise, Microsoft announced a thumping(巨大的)quarterly profit of $ 4.5 billion in July; Intel earned a(n) 【C8】______$2.9 billion.
So now is a good time to take stock of IT’s most hated power couple. As The Economist went to press, Intel was on track to reach a【C9】______with America’s Federal Trade Commission(FTC), which would in effect end the antitrust woes that have【C10】______both firms. And Microsoft has recently strengthened its ties with ARM, Intel’s new archrival(主要竞争对手). This suggests that the Wintel marriage is crumbling.
A)changed F)impressive K)plagued
B)computing G)increasingly L)recovered
C)consider H)incredibly M)resolution
D)demand I)interacts N)settlement
E)desire J)persist O)various
【C3】
选项
答案
J
解析
动词辨析题。分析句子结构可知,本句缺少主句谓语。rumor和that构成同位语从句,表达谣言或传闻的内容,rumor作主语时通常和不及物动词搭配,表示某谣言或传闻存在或盛行。此处Rumors—一that…结构中,rumor使用复数形式,暗含微软公司内部一直存在着关于驱逐总裁的各种谣言,结合所给选项,persist“持续存在”符合题意。consider有“认为”的含义,但其主语一般是人而非物,故应排除。
