问题     Uber is focusing more funds and firepower on beating local competition in China, with the tax-booking app confirming it has raised $ 1. 2bn in a round that included investment from Chinese search engine Baidu.
    The San Francisco start-up, which has been valued at $ 50bn, raised the additional funding for Uber China shortly after it was reported that local rival Didi Kuaidi had raked in $ 3bn in a recent cash call.
    The fundraising gives Uber China, which is a separate company, a $7bn pre-money valuation, according to a person familiar with the matter.【R6】______.
    Uber confirmed the investment, first reported in an interview with Travis Kalanick, chief executive, on Chinese website Sina.【R7】______
    Uber has dominated the taxi-booking app market in hundreds of cities globally and is expanding beyond ferrying people into also delivering packages. 【R8】______, where many US internet companies, including Google and Amazon, have stumbled.
    Didi Kuaidi, formed from a merger between Didi Dauche and Kuaidi Dauche this year, raised $ 2bn at a valuation of about $ 15bn in July. But the round has not closed and may increase.
    【R9】______Uber says it has about 50 per cent of the taxi-booking market, but Didi Kuaidi says it has 80 per cent.【R10】______by subsidizing trips, with Uber saying it will spend $ 1 bn in China this year.
    Uber had suggested that Uber China could eventually be spun off with its own initial public offering in the country. Mr Kalanick said the San Francisco-based start-up could take investment from a Chinese "national brand".
    Choose the following sentences marked A to E to complete the above article. Mark your answers on the answer sheet.
[A] But it has not yet won the battle for the Chinese market
[B] The round has not closed and could raise hundreds of millions more dollars
[C] It is hard to tell exactly how the Chinese market is divided
[D] Both sides are using their large fundraisings to lure more users
[E] Mr Kalanick did not disclose the other investors in the round
【R10】
选项 A、 
B、 
C、 
D、 
E、 
答案D
解析 该空后紧接方式状语“通过补贴打车订单”，后半句又提到，优步表示今年将在中国支出10亿美元用来补贴订单，结合前一句提到的优步和滴滴快的，推测本空内容是关于两家公司某项花费巨大资金的举措的。[D]项提到“双方都利用募集到的大量资金吸引更多消费者”，与前后文内容紧密相关，其中Both sides指代前一句中的Uber和DidiKuaidi，subsidizing trips正是to lure more users的方式，而using their large fundraisings更与其后优步花费10亿美元的例子相合，故答案为[D]项。
