问题     America’s Internet is faster than ever before, but people still complain about their Internet being too slow.
    New York’s Attorney General’s office【C6】________an investigation in the fall into whether or not Verizon, Cablevision and Time Warner are delivering broadband that’s as fast as the providers【C7】________ it is. Earlier this month, the office asked for the public’s help to measure their speed results, saying consumers【C8】________to get the speeds they were promised. "Too many of us may be paying for one thing, and getting another," the Attorney General said.
    If the investigation uncovers anything, it wouldn’t be the first time a telecom provider got into【C9】________over the broadband speeds it promised and delivered customers. Back in June, the Federal Communications Commission fined AT&T $100 million over【C10】________that the carrier secretly reduced wireless speeds after customers consumed a certain amount of【C11】________.
    Even when they stay on the right side of the law, Internet providers arouse customers’ anger over bandwidth speed and cost. Just this week, an investigation found that media and telecom giant Comcast is the most【C12】________provider. Over 10 months, Comcast received nearly 12,000 customer complaints, many【C13】________to its monthly data cap and overage charges.
    Some Americans are getting so【C14】________with Internet providers they’re just giving up. A recent study found that the number of Americans with high-speed Internet at home today【C15】________fell during the last two years, and 15% of people now consider themselves to be "cord-cutters".
    [A] accusations     [B] actually      [C] claim

【C8】
选项
答案G
解析 空格所在部分是saying的宾语从句，而且空格位于主语consumers之后，应填入动词。由本句中asked和were promised可推断，空格处应填入动词的过去式。本句意为：本月早些时候，总检察长办公室呼吁公众帮助测试网速，说消费者________享受到服务商承诺的网速。由本段大意可知，纽约总检察长办公室认为网络服务商存在欺诈消费者的嫌疑，而消费者既然已经花钱了，就有权享受服务商承诺的网速。由此推断，空格处应填入“有权获得，应得”等含义的动词，故选G。
