A young scientist named Raymond Kurzweil has now designed a computer which is a major 【C3】______in providing aid to the【C4】______. His machine, Cyclops, has a camera that【C5】______any page, interprets the print into sounds, and then delivers them orally in a robot-like【C6】______through a speaker. By pressing the appropriate buttons on Cyclops’s keyboard, a blind person can "read" any【C7】______document in the English language.
This remarkable invention represents a tremendous【C8】______forward in the education of the handicapped. At present, Cyclops costs $50,000.
【C9】______, Mr. Kurzweil and his associates are preparing a smaller【C10】______improved version that will sell for 【C11】______than half that price. Within a few years, Kurzweil【C12】______ the price range will be low enough for every school and library to【C13】______one. Michael Hingson, Director of the National Federation for the Blind, hopes that【C14】______will be able to buy home 【C15】______ of Cyclops for the price of a good television set.
Mr. Hingson’s organization purchased five machines and is now【C16】______ them in Maryland, Colorado, Iowa, California, and New York. Blind people have been【C17】______in those tests, making lots of【C18】______suggestions to the engineers who helped to produce Cyclops.
"This is the first time that blind people have ever done individual studies【C19】______a product was put on the market," Hingson said. Most manufacturers believed that having the blind help the blind was like telling disabled people to teach other disabled people. In that【C20】______, the manufacturers have been the blind ones.

选项
A、settle
B、own
C、invest
D、retain
答案

解析
前面提到,这种计算机现在的售价很高昂,其发明者正努力研究价格更低的改良版本。本句说“价格将低到足以让每所学习和每个图书馆都______一台”,顺着文意,此处应该是要表达价格低到可以让更多人都能“拥有、使用”这种计算机的意思,B项own“拥有”符合句意。
