Three years ago, California’s rivers and reservoirs were at record low levels. Governor Jerry Brown declared a drought state of【C1】________and called upon all Californians to save water in "every way possible."
Hegel, the director of purchasing for a Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, went to a trade show in search of new ways for his hotel to【C2】________with Brown’s call, and he was attracted by a salesman’s【C3】________. The vendor handed Hegel a test tube【C4】________with white nylon beads half the size of a mint (薄荷糖)and told Hegel that it would not only save him hundreds of thousands of dollars but the environment too. Those "magic beads" were the key【C5】________of an ultra-low water laundry system developed by the U. K. cleaning company Xeros.
The salesman said Xeros washers would【C6】________superior cleaning results compared with conventional washers, while using 50 percent less energy, 50 percent less detergent and 80 percent less water. Hegel was【C7】________, but with thousands of pounds of dirty sheets to wash each week, he decided to give one machine a try.
"After installing the first machine, we found that it【C8】________used 90 percent less water and very little chemicals—and the laundry results were【C9】________," he says. "Our director of housekeeping was ecstatic(欣喜若狂的)."
These new machines look similar to modern washers, but could【C10】________the biggest leap forward in the laundry industry since electric-powered washing machines rendered wringers (衣物绞干机) outdated in the early 20th century.
A) actually F) emergency K) obey
B) claim G) eventually L) represent
C) comply H) filled M) resolve
D) component I) group N) significant
E) deliver J) incredible O) skeptical
【C1】
选项
答案
F
解析
名词辨析题。分析句子结构可知,空格前为介词of,空格处应填入名词,与a drought state of构成名词短语,作动词declared的宾语。根据首句可知,加利福尼亚州的河流与水库都处于缺水状态。空格所在句由and连接两个并列的威分,and后面提到州长号召全州人民节约用水,由此可知and前表述的是州长宣布缺水的状态。结合备选项,可以推断出F)emergency“紧急情况,突发事件”符合题意,故为答案。
