    In a plan called "Station Renaissance" that it 【B3】______ in November, JR East said that it would【B4】______using its commercial spaces for shops and restaurants, extending them to 【B5】______ more suitable for the information age. It wants train stations as pick-up 【B6】______ for such goods as books, flowers and groceries【B7】______over the Internet. In a country where city 【B8】______ depend heavily on trains【B9】______commuting, about 16 million people a day go to its train stations anyway, the company【B10】______. So, picking up commodities at train stations【B11】______consumers extra travel and missed home deliveries. JR East already has been using its station【B12】______stores for this purpose, but it plans to create【B13】______spaces for the delivery of Internet goods.

【B20】
选项 A、reduce
B、narrow
C、dwarf
D、shrink
答案A
解析 考查动词辨析。根据上文可知道，IC卡的使用替代了传统的车票和定期券，因此空格所在句子的含义是：IC卡使用的增加减少了售票所占的空间。关键看四个选项哪个与space搭配，符合文意。reduce“减少，缩小”，用法较为广泛，除表示数量、大小、价格等的减少外，还可以接表抽象含义的词，如reduce the risk of detection(减少被发现的危险)，原文意为：对IC卡使用的增加还将会减少售票占用的空间。故答案为A．reduce。narrow“使变狭窄，使缩小”与space搭配，指“使空间变得狭小”，有“拥挤”的含义；dwarf指“(通过与大的事物比较)使显得小”，而实际大小没有改变；shrink意为“使事物本身缩小或萎缩”，如shrink the markets for the exports(使出口市场萎缩)，均不符合文意。
