Google’s New Music Service
Google outstripped its arch-rival, Apple, with the launch of a subscription music streaming service on Wednesday while simultaneously mounting a threat to other providers such as Spotify. The service, labouring under the full name of Google Play Music All Access, was unveiled at Google I/O, the tech giant’s annual developer conference in San Francisco. 【R1】______
Revealing the music service, Chris Yerga, Google’s engineering director, said users would be able to stream from a vast library on any device, using the Android operating system. "This is radio without rules. It’s as ’leanback’ as you want to, or as interactive as you want to," said Yerga.
【R2】______A "listen now" feature will create a mix of favourite artists or genres based on previously listened-to songs.
In the US, All Access will cost $9.99 a month after a 30-day free trial. Spotify Premium, a similar service, costs $9.99.【R3】______There was no immediate announcement of pricing in other territories. Google has signed licensing deals with music companies including, Sony, Universal and Warner, and millions of songs will be available for the service, which will go live from Wednesday.
【R4】______The tech giants have become increasingly interested in subscription services thanks to the popularity of Spotify, which has more than six million paying subscribers and more than 24 million active users in 28 countries.
Geoff Taylor, chief executive of the UK-based BPI, which represents record labels, welcomed the announcement by Google. "【R5】______There are more than a million paying subscribers and millions more enjoying free and ad-supported music." he said. The entry of a player with the reach of Google will persuade many more consumers to experience having millions of songs to play instantly on their phone, tablet or PC."
Google’s announcement was greeted with loud applause by developers in San Francisco.
【R6】______Larry Page, the Google CEO, who has been suffering from a vocal-cords defect, made an unexpectedly long appearance at the conference, where he bemoaned the "negativity" which he believes is holding back the technology industry.
The company revealed that more than 900 million devices using Android had now been activated, up from 400 million a year ago.【R7】______The 900m figure does not include tens of millions of smartphones in China which also use Android’s basic software - called "Android Open Source Platform" - but do not connect to Google’s services, and so cannot contact its "activation" servers.
Google unveiled new tools for developers including the ability to track people’s physical activity when they are carrying an Android device, a move that will usher in a new generation of fitness applications. Brian McClendon, Google ’s head of maps, said its mapping service had been rebuilt "from the ground up". Google Maps will pay greater attention to each individual’s personal use of the maps, highlighting places they frequently visit and making suggestions for other venues. The maps will change as they are used. Clicking on a museum will highlight other museums in the area, and users’ photos will also be displayed in the maps. 【R8】______
A. Users who sign up by 30 June will get a reduced price of $7.99 per month.
B. The announcement comes as Apple considers its own music service.
C. And delegates also heard about significant updates to its mapping services.
D. They began lining up to attend the sold-out Google I/O at 5 a.m.
E. Users will be able to search for an artist and add tracks to their library.
F. The new functions will be rolled out in the coming months.
G. Hugo Barra, vice-president of Android product management, said 48 billion Android apps had now been installed worldwide.
H. Streaming is the fastest growing part of the £330m digital music sector in Britain.

答案
E
解析
空格前说的是使用安卓操作系统,用户可以把谷歌音乐库中的音乐下载到任何设备中。通过比较,E句所说的用户能够先搜索艺术家,再将其名下的音乐添加到自己的音乐库,正好是对前文的补充说明。
