    Millions of people now rent their movies the Netflix way. They fill out a wish list from the 50,009 titles on the company’s web site and receive the first few DVD’s in the mail: when they mail each one back, the next one on the list is sent. The Netflix model has been exhaustively analyzed for its disruptive, new-economy【C1】______. What will it mean for video stores like Blockbuster? What will it mean for movie studios and theaters? What does it show about "long tail" businesses—ones that combine many markets into a【C2】______ target audience? But one other major implication has【C3】______ been mentioned: what this and similar Internet-based businesses mean for the United States Postal Service.
    Every day, some two million Netflix envelopes come and go as firstclass mail. They are joined by millions of other shipments from【C4】______ pharmacies, eBay vendors, Amazon.com and other businesses that did not exist before the Internet.

It has roughly doubled since 1980. On average, an American household receives twice as many pieces of mail a day as it did in the 1970’s.
    The harmful side of the Internet’s impact is obvious but statistically less important than many would guess. People【C7】______ write fewer letters when they can send e-mail messages.

【C9】
选项
答案H
解析 空格前的has been提示空格处需填入形容词作表语，或填入动词分词。空格后的this shift指人们“由写传统信件到写电子邮件”的转变，在这种转变中，漂亮的邮票、手写信和打印信件的不同外观与手感会消失，词库形容词中的lost“丢失的”符合要求。E项gained表示“获得的”为反向干扰，代入后与原文意思相反，可排除。
