问题     Look at your smartphone. Think about the decisions you will make on it today. You may snatch a dinner【C1】________, tell your spouse you’re running late, or【C2】________a response to an email from your boss. But you might also decide that the light【C3】________the trees is worth an Instagram. You may write something on Facebook about the【C4】________of seeing your 5-year-old make a new friend at the park, or the frustration of watching your father get old and need to move into a home. You may choose a song on Spotify,【C5】________a movie on Netflix, or open a Kindle book. You may decide how to【C6】________a photo to send to a friend or lover.
    It’s easy to think of our【C7】________revolutions as purely technological achievements.【C8】________microprocessors let everyone have a PC at home. Internet allowed computers to talk to each other. But that doesn’t【C9】________the reasons these breakthroughs mattered so much to us.
    At their core, these were also creative revolutions. The PC didn’t truly touch us【C10】________the rise of desktop publishing, followed by the rise of multimedia development tools, followed by the rise of web development tools. Its emotional power arrived with the ability to create amazing things on it.【C11】________, the Internet revolution really took off when we used it not just to download facts and figures but as a【C12】________to share music, writing, movies, and pictures. The number one site on the web may be Google,【C13】________number two and three are Facebook and YouTube,【C14】________—both primarily outlets for personal【C15】________. We created the desktop computer and the Internet as tools for efficiency, productivity, and communication. But they came to have real meaning for us【C16】________our natural creative drive took them over.
    Now it’s the phone’s turn. The smartphone began with a promise of productivity. Smartphones let us send messages【C17】________launching a computer; that’s what made them【C18】________. The smartphone, like the PC and the Internet before it, has【C19】________a unique outlet for our creative impulses, and it will【C20】________our creative lives even more fundamentally.
【C4】
选项 A、anticipation
B、entertainment
C、glory
D、joy
答案D
解析 根据空格后面的内容“看到你5岁的孩子在公园交朋友”，对于家长来说，这是一种喜悦的感受。D项joy“喜悦”的语义符合这一场景下的感受。A项anticipation“预料。预期”代入后指预料看到5岁的孩子交上新朋友，不符合语义和逻辑要求。B项entertainment“娱乐，逗乐”往往指带有目的性的取悦，代入后隐含孩子交朋友是为了故意让父母开心之意，这与常理不符。C项glory“荣耀”常指由于光辉的业绩所获得的持久性的赞誉和尊崇。看到孩子交朋友不至于带来这样的荣耀。
