问题     Look at your smartphone. Think about the decisions you will make on it today. You may snatch a dinner【C1】________, tell your spouse you’re running late, or【C2】________a response to an email from your boss. But you might also decide that the light【C3】________the trees is worth an Instagram. You may write something on Facebook about the【C4】________of seeing your 5-year-old make a new friend at the park, or the frustration of watching your father get old and need to move into a home. You may choose a song on Spotify,【C5】________a movie on Netflix, or open a Kindle book. You may decide how to【C6】________a photo to send to a friend or lover.
    It’s easy to think of our【C7】________revolutions as purely technological achievements.【C8】________microprocessors let everyone have a PC at home. Internet allowed computers to talk to each other. But that doesn’t【C9】________the reasons these breakthroughs mattered so much to us.
    At their core, these were also creative revolutions. The PC didn’t truly touch us【C10】________the rise of desktop publishing, followed by the rise of multimedia development tools, followed by the rise of web development tools. Its emotional power arrived with the ability to create amazing things on it.【C11】________, the Internet revolution really took off when we used it not just to download facts and figures but as a【C12】________to share music, writing, movies, and pictures. The number one site on the web may be Google,【C13】________number two and three are Facebook and YouTube,【C14】________—both primarily outlets for personal【C15】________. We created the desktop computer and the Internet as tools for efficiency, productivity, and communication. But they came to have real meaning for us【C16】________our natural creative drive took them over.
    Now it’s the phone’s turn. The smartphone began with a promise of productivity. Smartphones let us send messages【C17】________launching a computer; that’s what made them【C18】________. The smartphone, like the PC and the Internet before it, has【C19】________a unique outlet for our creative impulses, and it will【C20】________our creative lives even more fundamentally.
【C8】
选项 A、Faster
B、Newer
C、Cheaper
D、Smaller
答案C
解析 空格后表明。家家户户都用上了台式电脑。某一商品得以普及，不仅因为人们对它有巨大的需求，也取决于它的价格。C项Cheaper代入后表明microprocessors的成本变得更便宜，使得电脑普及开来，这与现实相符，故正确。“更快的”、“更新的”和“更小的”微处理器会在一定程度上加快电脑的普及，但它们显然不可能是电脑得以普及的根本原因，故排除A项Faster、B项Newer和D项Smaller。
