问题     Among American innovators, nobody comes close to the defining legacy of Steve Jobs. It is commonly【C1】______. He was not an Edison. He was not equipped to make a【C2】______ in pure technology 【C3】______circuits and frequencies. That is not what makes Apple unique. His gift to humanity was an【C4】______ representative of form and function. He had the【C5】______ of a predictor. He took the technology【C6】______it was and imposed on it his unique taste, which millions joyously【C7】______as their own.
    The iPhone【C8】______ little to the man routinely described as the father of the telephone. Alexander Graham Bell went off【C9】______ a prolonged honeymoon once he’d proved that sound waves could be【C10】______into wavelike electric current. He did nothing more after the marvelous moment on the evening of March, 10, 1876, when his young assistant, Thomas Watson, heard Bell’s voice come down the【C11】______. " Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you! " but as Watson later【C12】______, the Bell phone was calculated【C13】______ to develop the voice and lung than to enable conversation. The moment of folklore overshadows what must follow if the brain wave【C14】______ the marketplace. It was【C15】______ to Thomas Edison and his associate Charles Batchelor to make the Bell phone【C16】______ by inventing a carbon-button transmitter for the rival Western Union. But then the world had to wait for someone to tackle the countless 【C17】______ to a national long-distance system. Theodore Vail【C18】______ Western Union and Bell, pooled patents, and founded the American Telephone and Telegraph Co. , the company Jobs chose for his launch partner in 2007.

【C8】
选项 A、attributes
B、contributes
C、owes
D、belongs
答案C
解析 动词辨析题。句意为：苹果手机和被人们描述为电话之父的贝尔几乎没有什么关系。四个选项均可与to搭配，但意义不同：attributes to“归因于”，强调原因；contributes to“对……做出贡献”；owes to“归功于”；belongs to“属于”。由此可知，本题答案为[C]owes。
