问题     Big companies swallow little ones every day. So the【C1】________on March 25th by Yahoo (annual revenue, $5 billion) of Summly, a British start-up (annual revenue, zero), for a reported $30m would normally【C2】________merely a shrug of the shoulders and some muttering about the【C3】________economics of the internet. The deal is worth noting,【C4】________, for two reasons. One is that Summly’s founder, Nick d’Aloisio, is only 17: this summer he will be sitting his【C5】________like other teenagers. He invented an iPhone app to【C6】________articles in 300-400 characters, ideal for the smartphone-user wondering what he should【C7】________reading.
    Li Ka-shing, a Hong Kong telecoms tycoon, invested money in the【C8】________, having got wind of an early version of the app after tech blogs wrote about it, Mr d’Aloisio says. Famous actors, artists and entrepreneurs have also【C9】________in, taking the sum outsiders invested in Summly to $1.5m. Mr d’Aloisio says that he remained the largest shareholder.
    The second reason is that Summly is just the latest of half a dozen start-ups【C10】________by Yahoo in as many months. The internet company has also bought Stamped, Alike and Jybe, which built apps for personalized recommendations of,【C11】________other things, books, food and music; on the Air, a video-chat company; and Snip.it, which created an app for managing and sharing articles.
    Marissa Mayer, Yahoo’s boss since July, says she is【C12】________make the company a stronger force on smartphones and tablets. Yahoo was born on the desktop, but【C13】________Apple, Google, Amazon and Facebook, points out Thomas Husson of Forrester, a research firm, it【C14】________a mobile platform, such as an operating system or social network, through which to provide its【C15】________. Yahoo, says Mr Husson, "will have to go through the【C16】________platforms to maximize reach".
    On mobile devices, thinks Mr Husson, personalized content will be especially【C17】________. The companies bought by Yahoo have all been trying to provide【C18】________that. Ms Mayer, who has also improved Yahoo’s news and e-mail apps in recent months, has neither time nor money to【C19】________. Had she waited until Mr d’Aloisio left school, it might have been too【C20】________.
【C19】
选项 A、manage
B、relax
C、spare
D、react
答案C
解析 根据下一句的Had she waited(如果她等到……)以及might have been(那可能就……)表明虚拟语气，表明梅耶尔急切的心态。由此推测雅虎公司可能耗不起大量的时间和资金。C项spare“节省，抽出”符合语义，也可为下个句子铺垫。A项manage“管理”代入后指梅耶尔没有可利用的时间和资金，语义不符合常理。B项relax“放松”和D项react“反应”代入后分别说明梅耶尔没有时间和资金来缓解压力和应付公司的相关事宜，与上下文语义无关，也缺乏相关的语义依据。
